Jung Jae-won, also known as One (stylized in all caps), is a South Korean singer, rapper, and actor. Initially aspiring to become a filmmaker, Jae-won later developed an interest in music and eventually joined South Korean rapper Digital Masta’s record label D Business Entertainment.

He first debuted in January 2015 as one half of the duo 1PUNCH alongside Kim Samuel. They released the single album The Anthem with lead single "Turn Me Back". The group was a collaborative project between Brave Entertainment and D-Business Entertainment. During the same year, he took part on the fourth season of Show Me the Money, where he joined Team ZiPal (Zico & Paloalto), but was eliminated in episode six. Following the end of the show, One signed an exclusive contract with YG Entertainment as a trainee, which led to the disbandment of 1PUNCH.

One returned to Show Me the Money for its fifth season in 2016 under Team AOMG (Simon Dominic & GRAY), where he finished in fifth place. He released the song “Comfortable”, a collaboration with his Team producers that achieved a perfect all-kill in domestic charts. In March, One starred alongside Lee Hi on her “My Star” music video. He also appeared in the music video for MOBB’s “Hit Me” in September. The same year, it was rumored that he would be added to WINNER following the exit of Nam Tae-hyun, but was allegedly scrapped due to preparations for his solo debut.

One made his solo debut with the single album One Day on July 11, 2017 with self-written and self-produced lead singles "Gettin' By" and "Heyahe”. He also made his acting debut with a supporting role on the tvN drama A Korean Odyssey (2017), followed by roles in Room No. 9 (2018), and Her Private Life (2019). He made his big screen debut in the romance film Goodbye Summer (2019).

Following the end of his contract with YG Entertainment on July 17, 2019, he established his own management company Private Only. He later released his debut album PRVT 01 in November of the same year.

He has since kept a relatively low public profile, with little official activity and public appearances in recent years.
