Bae Seo-chan (24), the younger brother of Bae Jin-young (26), a former member of the project group Wanna One, has been selected for the national short track team.

Bae Seo-chan (Goyang City Hall) ranked third overall among the 55 men's team in the national short track competition held at Mokdong Ice Rink in Seoul on the 12th and was selected as a relay member for the next season.

Bae Seo-chan has won gold, silver and bronze medals at the 2025 Turin Winter World University Games (Universiad).

This is the first selection for the senior national team. In response, Bae Seo-chan said in an interview with JTBC News and other media, "I can't believe that I was selected for the first national team. (The performance) continued to be low, but I'm happy that it went well this year," he said in emotion.

In particular, Bae Seo-chan drew attention by honestly answering questions about his brother Bae Jin-young. When asked, "Is there any stress in your family when you have a famous person in your family?" he said, "There were times when I was young, but now I love it. I almost live at my brother's house these days," he said, expressing a warm brotherhood.

At the same time, Bae Seo-chan said, "I was more excited because my brother liked it so much and congratulated me."

When asked if he wants to be more famous than his brother, he said, "I don't think it will be easy. I'll try," he said shyly.

Meanwhile, Bae Jin-young made his name known through the project group Wanna One, which was formed through the Mnet audition program "Produce 101 Season 2" in 2017. After the end of his activities, he re-debutted as a member of the group CIX in 2019. He left the team in 2024 due to the expiration of his exclusive contract with his agency and began to stand alone.

Currently, they reunited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Wanna One, and are meeting with fans as Wanna One members for the first time in a long time.
