Zuho

Who Is Zuho?

Zuho is the stage name of Baek Ju-ho (백주호), a South Korean rapper, songwriter, and actor born on July 4, 1996, in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. As the main rapper of the boy group SF9 under FNC Entertainment, Zuho is celebrated for his deep, cavernous voice and his hand in writing many of SF9’s songs. If you’re drawn to idols with real songwriting chops and undeniable stage charisma, Zuho is one to watch.

Zuho was the very first trainee recruited into what would become SF9, training for six full years before debuting on October 5, 2016, with “Feeling Sensation.” That long training period gave him time to sharpen not just his rapping and dancing but also his songwriting, and he has since been credited on numerous SF9 tracks, including the 2023 title song “Puzzle,” which marked his first title-track composition for the group.

Zuho’s Career Highlights

Alongside his idol career, Zuho has built a respectable acting résumé, appearing in projects such as “Click Your Heart” (2016), “Was It Love?” (2020), “Meal Kid” (2020), “Ongoing Loved One” (2022), and “Star Struck” (2023). In January 2024, he signed with Haewadal Entertainment to manage his acting career while remaining a member of SF9. Zuho is also known within the group as one of its most charismatic members, someone who can look cool and composed one moment and warm and playful the next.

Zuho briefly stepped back from comeback promotions due to a back injury but has otherwise remained a consistent creative force within SF9, both as a performer and as a behind-the-scenes writer. In 2026, he began his mandatory military service, following the same path many of his fellow members have taken.

Why Fans Love Zuho

Fantasy adores Zuho for his sharp charisma, his songwriting talent, and the way he balances a cool, composed image with genuine warmth toward fans and members alike. His journey from SF9’s very first trainee to one of its most respected rappers makes him a compelling figure in the group’s story.
