Alex Chu (born September 2, 1979),[1] known sometimes as Alex (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".) and born Chu Hun-gon (Script error: No such module "Lang".), is a Korean-Canadian singer and actor. He is the male vocalist of the South Korean electropop band Clazziquai.[2]

Biography

Having immigrated to Canada with his family,[citation needed] Alex rose to fame upon returning to South Korea years later as part of the group Clazziquai. The group's popularity skyrocketed after featuring on the soundtrack of hit drama series My Lovely Samsoon.[citation needed]

In 2008, the group announced a temporary hiatus, and its members debuted as solo artists, including Alex. In 2009, Clazziquai returned with the release of Mucho Punk.[citation needed]

Alex Chu became part of the MBC reality show We Got Married and was matched with Korean trot singer Jang Yoon-jeong in the Lunar Special episode, and actress/model Shin Ae for the rest of the series. The show also stars Crown J, Andy of Shinhwa, Seo In-young of Jewelry, Solbi of Typhoon, Saori and Jung Hyung-don. Alex and Shin Ae left the show after Episode 8 for Alex to record his first solo album Vintage Romance. They were replaced by Kim Hyun-joong of SS501 and Hwangbo of Chakra. However, due to popular demand, the couple reunited in Episode 13. Alex and Shin Ae made their exit from the show on November 16, 2008.[citation needed]

Alex debuted in his first drama series Pasta as one of the main cast. The drama aired from January 4, 2010 to March 9, 2010 on MBC.[citation needed]

On June 2, 2011, Alex released his second solo album, Just Like Me.[citation needed]

On June 1, 2012, Alex opened a new Italian restaurant, D'asti Plate, in January 2018 known as D'Asti NY. He partnered with three of his close friends to open the restaurant, which is located in the Shinsadong area of Seoul.[3][unreliable source?]

In 2013, he appeared in the KBS variety show Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education to participate during the bowling matches from episode 6 to episode 9.[citation needed]

In 2016, Alex started hosting a variety show My Neighbor, Charles.[citation needed]

Personal life

Alex Chu was booked without detention by Gangnam Police in Seoul for driving while intoxicated in Seoul on July 18, 2012. Chu had blood alcohol content of 0.134%.[4]

Chu married his non-celebrity girlfriend on January 27, 2018. On February 28, 2025, it was reported that the couple had decided to divorce four years ago.[5]
