Profile:

English Name: Louis Choi  

Birthday: November 19, 2002   

Nationality: South Korean

Taehun hails from Gyesan, Gyeyang, Incheon, South Korea, where he spent his formative years. Renowned for his kind and understated demeanour, he has been given nicknames among admirers including "Peach," from his rosy cheeks, and "Incheon's Son." His ESFJ personality type emphasises his friendly demeanour, which helps him to be a natural leader at TNX. Often likened to ATEEZ's Seonghwa, Taehun's physical appeal especially his expressive eyes and side profile, has also garnered him respect.


Career:


Taehun's love of performing and music set him on the road to celebrity. Dreaming of being a soccer player at first, he changed his focus after seeing a talent show in elementary school and developed his idol-dream. Before he joined P Nation, where he became the first trainee on December 29, 2018, his early training consisted in spells at IB Music Academy in Incheon and The Black Label, a YG Entertainment affiliate.
His major break came in 2021 when he took part in SBS's survival show LOUD, a competition run by PSY from P Nation and JYP Entertainment's Park Jin-young to produce two new boy groups. As Taehun passed every elimination round, his skill was evident and he was included on the P Nation final roster. Originally hired by PSY for the September 11, 2021 finals, he debuted as TNX's leader on May 17, 2022 with their first mini-album Way Up. The first song on the album, "MOVE," highlighted his vocal strength and explosive dancing ability.
Taehun has been crucial for TNX's ascent since debut. Originally a six-member band, the group debuted their second EP, Love Never Dies, in February 2023 with the lead song "Love or Die." TNX now a five-member group keeps flourishing under Taehun's direction even though member Kyungjun left October 2024 to join the military. His athletic background excels in football, swimming, archery, and shooting, improves his stage presence; his all-rounder skills have confirmed his status as a multifarious idol.
Taehun's meticulous approach is shown in his personal touches daily journaling and extending his shoulders before performances. LOUD strengthened his fan connection; his first Twitter contact with supporters marked his proudest moment. Taehun is still a major player motivating TNX to go for top charts like the Billboard Hot 100 and worldwide audiences.


Net Worth in 2025:

Taehun's net worth is not publicly revealed, since K-pop stars and their companies usually keep financial information hidden. But we may approximate TNX's net value based on industry norms and trajectory. Way Up, TNX's first EP, sold over 100,000 copies in South Korea; their next albums have helped to increase their appeal. Album sales, concert ticket money, merchandise, variety show appearances, and possible sponsorships make up Taehun's income sources.

Early years annual income for a rookie idol in a reasonably successful group under P Nation could vary from $50,000 to $150,000 USD depending on group activity and profit-sharing. With TNX's expanding following and Taehun's leadership style, his net worth in 2025 may be rather expected to reach between $200,000 and $500,000 USD. Though it is only theoretical without official data, this estimate assumes continuous group success, possible solo efforts (e.g., songwriting or acting), and endorsements. As TNX's profile grows, fans conjecture millions could be at risk; but, these numbers are probably inflated for now.


Families:

Though certain information about Taehun's family is known, he keeps a secret personal life, as is typical among idols. Born in 2008, he came from a loving family in Incheon made of his parents and a younger brother. His path has been greatly influenced by his family; treasured childhood memories include travel together. Taehun's close-knit family most certainly gave him the support he needed to follow his aspirations, even if particular information about his parents' jobs or his brother's interests is not known.
His upbringing reveals a grounded background: he attended Incheon Buhyeon Elementary School, Gyesan Middle School, and graduated from Incheon Yale High School. Taehun's kind demeanour, emphasised by TNX member Sungjun selecting him as the member he would introduce to his sister—suggests he cherishes family ties even with his hectic idol schedule.


Personal Insights and Future Outlook:

Travelling, Netflix (especially horror movies), and bread—specifically bagels are among Taehun's interests. He loves EXO's Baekhyun, likes mint chocolate, and longs to have a Shiba Inu. Someone who is considerate fits his own reflective temperament. Known for sulking the most among TNX members and mumbling in his sleep when tired, Taehun's eccentricities appeal to admirers.
Looking ahead, Taehun's tenure with TNX seems bright as the group negotiates their post-rookie era. His leadership, agility, and artistic flexibility will help greatly towards their worldwide goals. Taehun's path is one to see whether he expands his creative input or experiments with blue or white hair, a personal aim.
