Choi Rip-woo gained popularity through Mnet’s idol survival program “Boys 2 Planet,” which aired last year. He subsequently made his official debut in May as part of Flare U, a group he formed with Kang Woo-jin, who also participated in the same program.
Flare U is currently appearing on MBC M’s variety show “Idol Training Camp.” They are set to begin activities in Japan this coming September, where they plan to release an album and hold fan meetings.
