a.c.e’s Chan, Donghun, and Jun Change Stage Names

Beat Interactive announced on August 12 that three members of K-pop boy group A.C.E will make changes in their stage names. 

According to the agency, members Chan, Donghun, and Jun have decided to use their real names instead. 

Meaning, Chan will move forward with his activities as Kang Yuchan, Donghun with Lee Donghun, and Jun with Park Junhee. 

Additionally, Beat Interactive emphasized that members Kim Byeongkwan and WOW made no changes. With this, WOW, whose real name is Kim Se Yoon, is the only A.C.E member to use a stage name. 

“Please look forward to the future activities ahead,” the agency told fans. 

While Beat Interactive didn’t provide any explanation or reason behind the changing of names, it can be noted that the A.C.E members have been using their real names in their acting activities. 

Kang Yungchan has appeared in Age of Youth 2 and Marry Me Now, while Park Junhee starred in Tinted with You and Sometoon 2021. 

Fans also pointed out how their stage names are common among other K-pop groups. And the change would help the A.C.E members be recognized instantly.

The changes came almost six years after the group made their debut in 2017. 

As for A.C.E’s future group activities, there’s no details yet as two members, Kim Beyongkwan and Kang Yungchan, are still in the military. 

Meanwhile, Park Junhee, Lee Donghun, and WOW have all been recently discharged.

A.C.E.’s Agency Threatens Legal Action Against Fake Social Media Account Impersonating Jun

BEAT Interactive shared the statement regarding the fake social media account.

“Recently, we have been receiving reports regarding impersonating the accounts of Jun, a member of A.C.E.,” it reads.

“In response, we will report this as an abusive account and will take strong legal action against the users for impersonating the artist’s account if the deletion is not processed as soon as possible,” the statement continued.

The company also revealed that the impersonation account is “@hyun_jin121” and included a screenshot of the profile. Additionally, they urged CHOICEs to be vigilant and report any accounts impersonating the A.C.E. members.

“If you find any impersonation accounts, please report them to us via (info@beatkor.com),” the statement concluded.

Jun has not yet addressed the issue personally as he is currently serving in the military. Park Junhee enlisted for mandatory military service on February 7, 2022. He is currently serving as an active-duty soldier and will be discharged in August this year.

Jun is not the only member of A.C.E. who is currently serving in the military. The other four members of the idol group enlisted for mandatory military service between 2021 and 2022.

Donghun, Jun, Wow, Kim Byeongkwan and Chan will be discharged between late 2023 to early 2024. A.C.E. is expected to make a full group comeback once the final member Kang Yu Chan is discharged next year. However, BEAT Interactive has not yet released an official announcement about the comeback.

For now, the aforementioned Instagram account is the only one pretending to be A.C.E.’s Jun. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
