Yook Joong Wan is a South Korean singer, guitarist, former member of ROSE MOTEL and current member of 6BAND. He graduated from Gyeongseong Electronics High School and later obtained an associate's degree in Electronics from Dongeui Science University. He worked with his best friend Kang Jun Woo in forming a band, and he finally made his debut in 2011 as vocalist and main guitarist of ROSE MOTEL. He later became known for his many appearances in variety shows, even becoming a regular cast member in "I Live Alone". In 2014, he won the Newstaker of the Year Award at the MBC Entertainment Awards, and one year later, he won the Best Entertainer Award at the SBS Entertainment Awards. The band also enjoyed some success, and they added 2 more members in late 2012 (bringing the total up to 5) to help with the instruments. However, in 2018, he faced controversy when the band's agency announced they would disband. Almost immediately after the announcement, members Bae Sang Jae, Lim Kyung Seop and Yoon Jang Hyun decided to publish their own statement where they rejected the idea of being disbanded. They argued that the other two members (Yook and Kang) forced them to leave the band. In 2019, he and Kang decided to form a duo called 6BAND or Yook Joong Wan's Band and continue to perform in many events, festivals and music shows.
