SM Entertainment recently introduced a new group of male trainees at the SMTOWN Live in Seoul concert. The trainees impressed fans with their performances of SHINee’s “Lucifer” and EXO’s “Growl,” showcasing their talent, stunning visuals, and diversity.

One trainee, nicknamed Chio by fans, has caught extra attention—not just for his looks but also for his surprising family connections. According to posts online, Chio is said to be Korean and comes from a prominent family.

The speculation was confirmed when Boyoung Lee, the first female executive director of Shinsegae Department Store, shared a heartfelt post on Instagram supporting her nephew. She wrote, “So proud of my talented nephew! He has been working day and night for the past year, and finally!”
