Rapper-Actor Resembling an Idol Who Suddenly Vanished: His Enigmatic Disappearance Continues to Puzzle Fans

Jung Jae Won aka ONE has gone MIA, and fans are desperate for answers.

The rapper-actor was once climbing fast. From 1PUNCH to Show Me The Money 4, moving to YG Entertainment, and acting gigs in Her Private Life and Arthdal Chronicles. He dropped his solo album PRVT 01 and had the visuals to match his rising fame.

But then, silence.

His activities slowed in 2020. By 2021, things got worrying. He updated his profile pics briefly but then vanished again. In 2022, ONE deleted all his social media accounts. No official updates since.

The last confirmed sighting? October 2022 at a producer party in Seoul. After that, nothing.

Still, clues pop up here and there. In 2024, producer Millennium played an unreleased ONE track on Instagram Live. Producer Ian Purp hinted at a possible comeback this year, but nothing materialized.

Fans also spotted mysterious SoundCloud uploads between 2023-2025 that some think are ONE’s. The tracks were deleted and reuploaded repeatedly, but skeptics point out differences in style and voice.

Is he done with entertainment? Or will he come back?

Fans weighed in on an online forum:

“When was the last time we heard from him??”
“I’ve been keeping an eye on him since 1PUNCH, then nothing…”
“Maybe he quit the industry altogether.”
“He was even a candidate to join WINNER.”
“Seriously, since when did he disappear? I thought he was so handsome.”

One fan marked his birthday with a tweet:

Does anyone remember that handsome rapper Jung Jae Won…? (Yes, from that one song from Show Me The Money) He’s basically been missing for years, and I’m still listening to his music and waiting, but there’s not even the slightest sign of him. I heard it’s his birthday today, so he came to mind and I’m writing this. I’m just a sad girl.
