Ye Chan (Yoon Ye Chan, also styled Yechan) is a member of the six-piece, self-producing K-pop boy group 82MAJOR, which debuted under Great M Entertainment in October 2023. He grew up in Markham, Ontario, just outside Toronto, before moving to Korea to train as an idol. He joined the other five members a few months before debut, after they had already been practicing together. The group's 2024 EP X-82 reached several Billboard charts, and in 2025 the band returned to his home region on a North American tour with a Toronto show.
Where they grew up
Ye Chan comes from Markham, Ontario, a city just outside Toronto, Canada. He left Canada for Korea to chase his dream of becoming a K-pop idol. Great M Entertainment was the first agency for the other five members, who were already training together when he arrived a few months before the group debuted. In 2023 he debuted with them as 82MAJOR. In June 2025 he finally played a show in his hometown area with his bandmates, which he said made the return more special than coming back alone. He sometimes introduces himself with the English name Timothy.
