> **Isu** (이수) is a South Korean Male Soloist and Idol who debuted solo in 2008. He  started in group M.C The Max. 

He liked singing since school days, where he was vocalist of a school band called "Marlboro". He auditioned and was immediatly accepted at SM Entertainment, but he was soon informed he would debut as part of an Idol Group, which he was against so he left SM.

He would debut with Moonchild (Later M.C The Max), mentored by Shin Haechul. 

In 2009, he was involved in a prostitution scandal involving a minor. While he was given a suspended indictment, this controversy significantly impacted his public image and restricted his appearances on major broadcast networks for many years, even leading to him being removed from a musical in 2016 due to public outcry. Despite this, he maintains a loyal fanbase and continues to release music and hold concerts.

In 2014 he married singer Lyn.
