Lee Jae Won (born April 5 1980 Fact|date=July 2008) is an actor, singer, and a rapper. He was the youngest member of the Korean groups H.O.T and JTL. He is a graduate of Kyonggi University.

H.O.T

Jae Won was the 3rd member to be chosen for H.O.T. Moon Hee Jun, the 2nd member to enter H.O.T heard of Jae Won's dancing skills, soon befriended him and persuaded him to join. He auditioned and got in. Though he was able to harmonize well with the other members, he became another rapper of the group along with Jang Woo Hyuk.

J.T.L

During his years in H.O.T, he was known as the rapper in H.O.T, and though he did sing some parts, he was rarely seen singing solo while performing in H.O.T. However, he did sing as a member of JTL.

Solo career

On April 4th, 2005 during a hiatus from J.T.L activities and following the release of fellow bandmate Tony An's solo album, Jae Won released his first solo album No Pain No Gain. Unfortunately, the album received disappointing sales. Despite that, Jae Won released a 1.5 album and his single "I'm So Hot" on May 9th 2007. It has received much attention due to his new sexy image, though the song also received a lot of negative attention because many speculate that the song was plagiarized from Mariah Carey's song It's Like That.Fact|date=May 2008
