Jang Su-won followed a friend to try out for a DSP audition and got selected. At the interview, he said he was good at nothing and was picked because of this honest answer. It was revealed later that Kang Sung-hun, who had the power of choosing members, chose him for his good looks and positive attitude.

He was in his second year of high school when he debuted as Sechs Kies in 1997. He was known to be the most considerate and the youngest member of the group. Though he had little parts in the group, he was noted for his ease at singing. Sechs Kies achieved great success and became an icon of the 1990s. However, they suddenly disbanded after the promotion of their fourth album in May 2000.

In 2002, Su-won teamed with Kim Jae-duck to form J-Walk under Kiss Entertainment and began to sing more. They released their first album, entitled Suddenly same as hit song in March 2002. "Suddenly" went as high as No. 2 on the music charts. However, their follow-up album "Someday" was not as successful. They took SBS Gayo Daejeon Popularity Award with Kang Sung-hun in 2002.

They subsequently collaborated with their former DSP label-mate Click-B to form a project boy group, JnC, under Kiss Entertainment. After releasing their debut project album in 2004, one of Click-B's members left, leaving JnC inactive.

Their first EP Sun Shower(여우비) was delayed until 2007 when they signed with Vitamin Entertainment. J-Walk released their third album My Love in 2008 and Eun Ji-won helped them by participating in the music video and featuring in the title song. Since Kim Jae-duck entered the military shortly after, Su-won had to promote the album by himself. Su-won entered the military in December 2009 and served in Division 15's military band. He was released from the army in October 2011.

After they were discharged from the army, J-Walk signed under A&G Modes and released some digital songs. They returned with a mini album "Love...Painfully" with the main track "Strive" in December 2013.[ ... (more)
