Han Cho Won, known simply as Chowon, is a South Korean singer, dancer and member of LIGHTSUM (라잇썸). She graduated from Hanlim Entertainment Arts High School, and before debuting, she spent almost two years as a trainee. In 2018, she entered "Produce 48", where she ranked in 13th place. However, it was revealed years later that she was one of the affected contestants after the vote manipulation scandal that plagued all seasons of this show. In reality, her final ranking was 6th place, so she would have qualified to join the resulting project group that later became IZ*ONE but was cheated out of that spot. She originally wanted to be an actress and made her acting debut in 2020 when she was cast in "Bully Bad Guys" and "The Dominator 3: Junior Bullies". She then debuted in June 2021 as LIGHTSUM's main vocalist with their first single, "Vanilla". They are managed by CUBE Entertainment (큐브엔터테인먼트). (Source: MyDramaList).
