Jeon So-yeon (Korean: 전소연; born August 26, 1998), better known mononymously as Soyeon, is a South Korean rapper, singer, songwriter, composer, choreographer and record producer signed to Cube Entertainment. She gained attention for competing in the television shows Produce 101 and Unpretty Rapstar before her solo debut on November 5, 2017 and later becoming the leader of the girl group (G)I-dle, in which she participates in writing and producing the majority of their songs, in May 2018. She is also part of SM Station X girl group project Station Young, and has portrayed League of Legends character Akali in the virtual musical groups K/DA and True Damage.

Early life

Jeon So-yeon was born on August 26, 1998,[1] in Seoul, South Korea.[citation needed] While young, she was home schooled and later attended Kuryong Elementary School. Jeon studied ballet as a child, entering and winning numerous competitions. After seeing Big Bang perform, Jeon quit ballet to pursue a musical career. She attended 20–30 auditions in her elementary school days, but did not pass any of them.[2]

Jeon later decided to pursue rapping. She eventually gathered the courage to rap at auditions, which led her to being noticed and starting to receive calls from different places. With their direction of music being different from hers, she decided to let go of her dream of becoming a singer for a while and picked up dancing again, which she had enjoyed as a child. It was then that her street dancer life began.[2]

After seeing Cube Entertainment's 2014 audition poster, Jeon decided to audition once again and was selected in the audition held at Incheon. After passing the final round of judging, Jeon became a trainee of Cube Entertainment.[2]

Career

2016–2017: Produce 101, Unpretty Rapstar and solo debut

In January 2016, Jeon appeared as a representative trainee for Cube Entertainment in the first season of the girl group survival show, Produce 101.[3] She remained a popular contestant throughout the show's run, peaking at 10th place on the fifth episode.[4] However, she ranked at number 20 on the last episode and failed to become a member of the winning girl group, I.O.I.[5]

In July 2016, Jeon appeared as a contestant in the third season of the rap competition show Unpretty Rapstar.[6] The show finished with Jeon as the second runner-up, gaining three tracks on the show's final compilation album.[7]

On December 29, 2016, Jeon signed an exclusive contract as an artist under Cube Entertainment.[8] She officially debuted on November 5, 2017, with the digital singles "Jelly" and "Idle Song", which she wrote herself.[9][10]

2018–present: Debut with (G)I-dle and collaborations

On January 11, 2018, it was announced that Jeon would be re-debuting in Cube Entertainment's new girl group (G)I-dle, as the leader and main rapper.[11][12][13] She is credited in the lyrics, music and arrangement for both their debut song "Latata" and their comeback song "Hann",[14] both of which were well received and commercially successful. She also contributed in writing five songs from (G)I-dle's debut extended play I Am.[14]

On August 8, 2018, it was announced that Jeon would participate in a girl group project called Station Young for SM Station's X 0 alongside Red Velvet's Seulgi, Kim Chung-ha, and GFriend's SinB.[15] Station Young released their first song, "Wow Thing", on September 28, 2018.[16]

In February 2018, Jeon and fellow (G)I-dle member Miyeon were approached by Riot Games[17] to collaborate with American artists Jaira Burns and Madison Beer as part of a virtual girl group called K/DA for the multiplayer online battle arena video game League of Legends. Jeon, Miyeon, Beer, and Burns recorded vocals for the virtual group, which consists of new versions of League of Legends characters. K/DA officially debuted with the song "Pop/Stars" during the 2018 League of Legends World Championship on November 3. The official music video for "Pop/Stars" was released on the same day, reaching 30 million views on YouTube in five days,[18] and 100 million in one month. The single release of the song reached number one on Billboard's World Digital Songs chart.[19] The K/DA incarnation of the character Akali, whose vocals were performed by Jeon, proved to be especially popular, becoming a frequent subject of fan art and cosplay.[20]

(G)I-dle at I Made showcase in February 2019.

In 2019, Jeon composed labelmate CLC's "No" which was selected through a blind test and served as the lead single.[21] In March 2019, Jeon made a public apology for using a pirate version of the German music-producing software, Ni Kontakt. She wrote on her online fan community site, "I deeply regret that I used an illegal copy of the program, As far as I remember, I used it when I first learned songwriting. I had not even recognized that I did not delete the program. But since the day I began composing in earnest, I have only used authorized programs." The apology came days after a behind-the-scenes YouTube video of preparing the I Made EP, produced by the agency, showed icons of the software's illegal copy on her laptop screen. The agency later deleted the video and apologized.[22]

Jeon reprised her role as Akali, in the League of Legends collaborative hip hop group called True Damage.[23][24] A collaboration with Becky G, Keke Palmer, Thutmose and Duckwrth, titled "Giants", was released as a single alongside an animated music video on November 10, 2019. The song is a multilingual track performed predominantly in English, with verses in Spanish and Korean.[25] On the same day, the group performed at the 2019 League of Legends World Championship finals in Paris, France.[26] It was Jeon's second year in a row to perform at the opening ceremony of the World Championship finals.[27] "Giants" debuted at number fifteen and nineteen at Billboard's Rap and R&B/Hip hop Digital Songs Sales charts, respectively.[28][29]

In 2020, Jeon made her appearance on Mnet new Hip Hop inspired Do You Know Hip Hop. The show features rappers who promoted from the late 1990s-2000s and pioneered the hip hop genre in Korea and a guest that have an undying enthusiasm for hip hop.[30] On February 28, she appeared as one of the "young rappers" to collaborate with Double K and Nuck performing "2020 Lion remix" for Old & Young collaboration stage.[31] In April, (G)I-dle released their third EP, I Trust. All of the songs on the album, including the lead single "Oh My God" was written and composed by Jeon and longtime collaborator Yummy Tone. The song was released in two languages: English and Korean.[32] On July 22, Jeon featured on DJ Hyo's track "Dessert" with rapper Loopy. The song is a jungle pop genre with bouncy beat and catchy moombahton rhythm, clever and memorable hook that uses various synthesizer, claps and whistles with message of wanting a sweet love rather than difficult and complex and is expressed with dessert.[33] In an interview with Melon, DJ Hyo revealed the reason she chose Jeon is because "she is an exceptionally talented person in many ways, so I wanted to do the collab together with her".[34] Jeon took part in writing and composing the song.[35] In August, Jeon composed the group's first summer song "Dumdi Dumdi" alongside Pop Time, who has produced many of Zico and Block B's hit songs.[36]

Philanthropy

Jeon's Chinese fans donated rackets, basketballs and other sports equipment to a gymnasium to a junior high school in Weinan, Shaanxi Province to celebrate the second anniversary of her debut.[37]

Artistry

Image

Jeon is labelled as a versatile artist.[38] Her success as a rapper, singer and songwriter earned her the title of "Triple Threat".[39] Jeon was described as an Alpha girl for utilising and exhibiting her skills in writing, composing, arranging, choreographing, rapping, dancing and singing. A representative from Cube noted that Jeon's presence in the group's determined the groups popularity from the start and made (G)I-dle different from other groups they debuted before.[40] She was also named "survivial born monster" due to her participation on three survival shows and have established herself as the next-generation genius "Producer-dol".[41][42]

Influences

Jeon stated that her bandmates are her inspiration for songwriting.[43] She was heavily influenced by her rap teacher when she was in high school and started to rap after she met that teacher. Jeon said: "That amazing mentor taught me the basics like how to write good lyrics and how to melt in your sincerity."[44]

Jeon also came up with songs, albums, concepts while inspired by cartoons, books and dramas.[45] "Idle Song" was created because she was inspired by SpongeBob SquarePants's theme song.[46] "Latata" was inspired by Song Joon-geun's catchphrase "arata rata rata" in KBS2's Gag Concert.[47][48] "Senorita" was inspired by "Despacito".[49] "Uh-Oh" was inspired by the expression and the tone used by staff, where she'd shot a reality show, To Neverland in the U.S.[50] "Lion" was inspired from live-action The Lion King during her group's debut in Japan.[51] For I Trust album concept, Jeon revealed that she got inspired by watching an isekai anime, KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! Legend of Crimson,[52][53] and "Luv U" was created and choreographed from the scene heart-finger V by the animation Sugar Sugar Rune.[54] "Dumdi Dumdi" was inspired by the 2016 Disney's Zootopia.[55]

Jeon is seen as a role model for teens, young women,[56] and various female artists, such as ANS' Dalyn,[57] and Woo!ah!'s Songyee.[58] K-pop producer and songwriter Ryan S. Jhun said that he is a big fan of idol competition show Queendom, and also shared that he hopes to work with Jeon one day.[59]

Songwriting and musical style

For Jeon's music credits, see List of songs written and produced by Jeon So-yeon.

Although Jeon had been given songwriting classes while she was a trainee, she never intended to be the group's primary songwriter. She said, "At first, I really didn't know I'd be writing these songs ... but our debut was getting delayed because we didn't have a song. So that's when I thought, I should write our song, and started writing a title track."[43]

In the production of "Latata", Jeon began with a moombahton beats with the thought of her members. For the instruments, she used percussions. After making the beat with simple instruments, she put it on loop and coated it with melody. She described her process in composing started with writing beats and melodies on a blank page with just a piano or a beat. She continued explaining that it is common to have a track maker, someone who writes melodies and putting a melody on a mostly completed beat. She confessed she avoids the words "me or I" in lyrics.[44]

In Queendom's first preliminary performance, Jeon proposed a sorceress concept of "Latata". In music critics IZM's words, it "does not look like the a rearranged version, but more like an entirely original song". The article also mentioned the reason she can consistently being confident about her team, song and herself both on and off stage is because she has a clear image of what she wants to create.[60][61][62] Poet Seo Hyo-in wrote that "Soyeon covers all aspects of producing, from composition and writing, rap making and setting the concept. However, she doesn't overshadow the other members." She praised Jeon for maximising the strengths of each member and allows them to find their own artistic freedom.[63]

Gender stereotypes in music

"All stereotypes must be crushed. The stereotype that you're too young to do something. The stereotype that limits female idols. Music has no gender"

— Soyeon talking about stereotypes.[45]

Jeon believes that females can be producers as well and hoped that more females would come out as producers.[64] She believes that there are no boundaries when it comes to arts forms like music, performances and gaming.[65] "When I write, I don't think about gender. No "we're a girl group", women, men or age. I just write what's on my mind."[66] In a June 2020 interview with MTV, Jeon discussed using the word 'she' in "Oh My God" stating, "I didn't want to limit that 'she' to a certain being or a certain definition, so it's open to anything. I believe that all kinds of love are valuable and must be respected."[67]
