RIIZE's Anton: Age, Profile, and His Father, Composer Yoon Sang

K-pop group RIIZE's member Anton is currently a topic of discussion in South Korea, primarily due to his upcoming activities with the group and his notable family background. As RIIZE marks its third anniversary in September, anticipation is building for their second full album next year, preceded by a prologue single in October. The ongoing interest also stems from his identity as the son of renowned composer Yoon Sang.

Anton, whose birth name is Lee Chan-young, was born on March 21, 2004, making him 22 years old based on 2026 references in the sources. He debuted with SM Entertainment's six-member boy group RIIZE on September 4, 2023, as a vocalist. Born in the USA with dual citizenship, Anton was a junior swimmer for about 10 years before pursuing music. His father, Yoon Sang, a singer-songwriter and producer active since 1990, recently appeared on KBS2's 'Pyeonstorang' on September 10, where he mentioned his second son is also preparing for an idol debut.

Local bloggers highlight Anton's unique pre-debut journey, transitioning from a decade-long swimming career to becoming an idol. They note that while he grew up in a musical environment due to his father, his path to K-pop was a conscious choice after his swimming career faced challenges. Bloggers also mention the initial "nepo baby" discussions following his debut, emphasizing how he is now establishing his own identity within RIIZE.
