S.Coups (Seung Cheol Choi)
Also known as: Choi Seung Cheol, 최승철
Date of birth: 8 August 1995 (31 years old)
Country: South Korean
Choi Seung Cheol, known professionally as S.Coups, is a South Korean singer, dancer, composer, lyricist, and member of SEVENTEEN (세븐틴). He graduated from Seoul Performing Arts High School and is enrolled in the K-Pop program at Hanyang University and in the master's degree program in Integrated Business Administration at Anyang University.
He became a trainee under Pledis Entertainment (플레디스 엔터테인먼트) in 2010, and he was one of the original Pledis Boys. The agency had two potential new groups, NU’EST (뉴이스트) and TEMPEST (템페스트; not to be confused with the group under Yuehua Entertainment that debuted in 2022). He was assigned to TEMPEST, but the project was cancelled as NU'EST found immediate success, and the public paid no attention to the other group.
He made his debut in May 2015 as SEVENTEEN's leader, hip-hop team leader, rapper and sub-vocalist with their first mini album, "17 Carat". He is part of the sub-units SVT LEADERS alongside Woozi and Hoshi and HIP-HOP TEAM (세븐틴 힙합팀) alongside Vernon, Wonwoo and Mingyu. They have not officially debuted, but rather, they record tracks as unit songs for group albums and mixtapes.
In August of 2023, S.Coups sustained an injury to his left knee. The torn ACL required reconstructive surgery, exempting him from military service.
