Chu Hun Gon, known professionally as Alex or Alex Chu, is a Canadian singer, actor, and member of CLAZZIQUAI PROJECT (클래지콰이; simply known as CLAZZIQUAI). He was born in South Korea, but his family moved to Vancouver, Canada, when he was in middle school. He then became a naturalized Canadian citizen.

He gained notoriety after he met Kim Sung Hoon (known professionally as DJ Clazzi) and decided to create an electropop band that combined several genres, including electronic music, acid jazz and house. He brought his older sister Christina, and all three recorded short albums "Red", "Gray", and "Retro" in 2001. The band became well-known thanks to online communities who spread their work. Christina decided to leave and was replaced by Ho Ran.

They made their official debut in May 2004 with the studio album "Instant Pig", which received critical acclaim, which led to more than five songs from the album being used in six television commercials. The following year, the band's popularity increased significantly after the singles "Be My Love" and "She Is" became OSTs for the drama "My Lovely Samsoon".

After 2008, the band began taking long breaks, and all 3 members focused on their individual activities. He made his acting debut in 2010 with a role in the drama "Pasta".

In July 2012, he was booked without detention for driving while intoxicated. He took a personal break to self-reflect and opened an Italian restaurant in Seoul. He returned to variety shows in 2013 and has appeared sporadically since then.

The band released a series of 8 singles between September 2019 and May 2024 that were compiled on the album "CZQ". All songs featured guest vocals for the first time in the group's history.
