ABOUT So!YoON!:

So!YoON! is the moniker of solo project from Hwang Soyoon, frontperson of South Korean band SE SO NEON. Hwang first began her career as a musician forming SE SO NEON at the age of eighteen in 2016. Winning “Rookie of the Year” and “Best Rock Song of the Year” at the prestigious Korean Music Awards in their debuting year, SE SO NEON instantly became a name to look out for. Since then, SE SO NEON has garnered a dedicated following around the world having toured globally including their recent headlining tour in North America.

 

Beside the luminous success of her band, Hwang launched her solo act So!YoON! as a character separated from her existing gig in 2019. So!YoON! first released single “HOLIDAY” in April 2019, a month prior to full disclosure of self-titled album “So!YoON!”. Accompanied by a dazzling list of featured artists and producers from various genres ranging over Soul, Pop, Hip hop, Rock and Electronica, “So!YoON” marked a bold declaration of new genre of its own, dismantling preconceived categories of music.

 

So!YoON! released single “Wings” along with Thai singer-songwriter Phum Viphurit in 2020 which garnered over 9 million listens on Spotify. Continually expanding her artistic boundaries through global collaborations, So!YoON! also participated as official showcasing artist at SXSW in 2022.
