F.T. Triple
In January 2009, members Choi Jong-hoon, Choi Min-hwan, and Lee Jae-jin were put into the sub group "A3". This group debuted at the 2009 New Year concert "My First Dream" held at the JCB Hall in Tokyo, Japan on January 2, 2009. Jae-jin performed as the vocalist and bassist. The group's name was "A3" due to each of the three members having type A blood. This group was formed to help take up some singing time during their concerts, so that main vocalist, Lee Hongki, would not overstrain his voice.
In late 2009, A3 was renamed F.T. Triple and began working with Lee Jae-jin on guitar instead of bass. They released the single "Love Letter" and began performing on music shows. During this time, F.T. Island's main vocalist Lee Hongki was busy filming a drama and guitarist Song Seung-hyun was involved in several variety shows.

He also did a cameo in Style [Ep6] (SBS, 2009) and On Air (SBS, 2008).

In 2013 he was cast in a Korean production of High School Musical along with AOA member Choa.
