Biography
Jongup is a South Korean singer who began his career as a member of the chart-topping boy band B.A.P., then mounted a solo career following the group's breakup in 2019. He was born as Moon Jong-up in Siheung, Gyeonggi Province, on February 6, 1995. A talented dancer from a young age, he joined B.A.P. in 2012 and enjoyed a successful run with the band, whose records First Sensibility, Noir, One Shot, and Badman all topped the Billboard World Albums chart. When B.A.P. disbanded in early 2019, Jongup remained the public eye by appearing in the film The Lost Village and the reality TV show Signhere, both of which were released that same year. He also launched his career as a solo artist, drawing upon in the influence of his musical idol, American singer Chris Brown, to create a diverse sound influenced by K-pop, funk, and R&B. "Headache," his debut single, was released in May 2020 and peaked at Number 23 on the Gaon charts. One year later, Moon collaborated with another boy band alum, Viini, on the single "Venus," which was released that February as part of the soundtrack to the South Korean television series Mr. Queen. In November 2019, Moon secured an exclusive soloist contract with The Groove Company and released his debut single, "Headache" on May 7, 2020. The following year, his first mini-album, Us, was launched on July 8, 2021, with a single "Find" previewed a week earlier. By early 2023, Moon participated in the reality competition show Peak Time as a member of TEAM 24:00, ultimately securing third place. Later in May, he signed another exclusive contract with MA Entertainment. Moon released his second mini-album, Some, on October 30 2023, followed closely by his third mini-album, Peter, which was released on October 31, 2024.
