Jung Ho Won is a South Korean-Chilean singer and member of W24 (더블유24). He was born in Santiago, Chile, and lived there and in Lima, Peru, and Caracas, Venezuela for nearly 20 years due to his father's job. He moved back to South Korea to start college but, often struggled with the language as he barely spoke Korean, being fluent in Spanish and English instead.

During college, he saw an ad for an audition to become the vocalist for a new band. He attended and won the position.
He made his debut in March 2018 as W24's vocalist with their first single album, "Singing Dancing". Their work earned them the Focus Award at the 2018 Asia Artist Awards. The agency, Favor Entertainment (페이버엔터테인먼트, formerly known as J Army Entertainment), gave the members the freedom to contribute to the lyrics, composition, arrangement, and record production of their records.

In September 2020, Kim Jong Gil gave up the leader position and became the band's new leader. A few months later, they entered the survival show "Asian Top Band" and won 1st place.

The band is more recognized in Latin America than in South Korea as they have recorded several covers from Spanish-speaking singers and often perform them during their concerts.
