She first gained attention for competing in the television showsProduce 101 andUnpretty Rapstar before debuting as a solo artist on November 5, 2017. On May 2, 2018, she debuted as the leader and rapper of thegirl group (G)I-dle, now known asI-dle, for whom she has written and produced most title songs.[2] She is also part of SM Station X girl group projectStation Young and has portrayedLeague of Legends character Akali in the virtual musical groupsK/DA and True Damage.
Jeon So-yeon was born on August 26, 1998,[5][unreliable source?] inGaepo-dong,Gangnam District,Seoul.[6][7] As a child, she had a diverse upbringing, attending aBuddhistkindergarten,[8] before beinghomeschooled and later enrolling in Kuryong Elementary School. During her time there, she immersed herself inballet, entering and winning numerous competitions. She quit to pursue a career in music after seeingBig Bang perform; Soyeon secretly attended and failed around 20 to 30 singing auditions.[9] Soyeon later decided to pursue rapping, and received interested calls. With the interested parties' direction of music being different from hers, she let go of her dream of becoming a singer and picked up dancing again. It was then that she began performing as a street dancer.[9] After seeingCube Entertainment's 2014 audition poster, Soyeon decided to attend theIncheon auditions and became a trainee at the company.[9] She continued her journey, managing both her training schedule and education, and in February, 2017, she graduated fromChung-Ang University.[10]
In January 2016, Soyeon appeared as a representative trainee forCube Entertainment in the first season of thegirl group survival showProduce 101.[11] She remained a popular contestant throughout the show's run, peaking at 10th place on the fifth episode.[12] However, she ranked at number 20 on the last episode and failed to become a member of the winning project girl group,I.O.I.[13]
In July 2016, Soyeon appeared as a contestant in thethird season of the rap competition showUnpretty Rapstar.[14] Soyeon finished the show as the second runner-up, and three of her tracks were included on the show's final compilation album.[15]
On December 29, 2016, Soyeon signed an exclusive contract as an artist under Cube Entertainment.[16] She officially debuted on November 5, 2017, with the digital singles "Jelly" and "Idle Song", which she wrote herself.[17][18]

On January 11, 2018, it was announced that Soyeon would be re-debuting in Cube Entertainment's new girl group(G)I-dle, as a rapper and its leader.[19][20][21] She was credited in writing the lyrics, music and arrangement for both their debut song "Latata" and their next single "Hann (Alone)",[22] both of which were well received and commercially successful. She also helped write five songs from (G)I-dle's debut extended playI Am.[22]
In 2019, Soyeon composed labelmateCLC's "No", which was selected through a blind test and served as the lead single of the group's EPNo. 1.[29] In March 2019, Soyeon made a public apology for using a pirated version of the German music-producing softwareKontakt. 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 theI 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.[30]
Soyeon reprised her role as Akali in theLeague of Legends collaborative hip hop group True Damage.[31][32] A collaboration withBecky G,Keke Palmer,Thutmose andDuckwrth 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.[33] On the same day, the group performed at the2019League of Legends World Championship finals inParis, France.[34] It was Soyeon's second year in a row to perform at the opening ceremony of the World Championship finals.[35] "Giants" debuted at number fifteen and nineteen atBillboard's Rap and R&B/Hip hop Digital Songs Sales charts, respectively.[36][37]
In 2020, Soyeon guested onMnet's hip hop-inspired showDo You Know Hip Hop,[38] collaborating withDouble K and Nuck to perform a remix of "Lion".[39] 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 Soyeon and longtime collaboratorYummy Tone. The lead single was released in both English and Korean.[40] On July 22, Soyeon helped write and featured onDJ Hyo's "Dessert" with rapper Loopy, a jungle pop song with "bouncy" beat and moombahton rhythm, synthesizer-based hook, claps and whistles, and lyrics expressing desire for a sweet love rather than a difficult and complex one.[41][42] In an interview withMelon, DJ Hyo revealed that she chose Soyeon as a collaborator because of her talents.[43] In August, Soyeon composed (G)I-dle's first summer song, "Dumdi Dumdi", alongside Pop Time, who had previously produced songs for rapperZico and the boy bandBlock B.[44]

It was characterized as having "a groovy" guitar and bass rhythm with lyrics expressing the feelings of a first love. Lee received overall positive reviews and a total score of 354 from the judges for the performance.[48]
In January 2021, (G)I-dle released their EPI Burn, including the lead single "Hwaa"; Soyeon wrote four of the six tracks.[49] The same month, Soyeon appeared onFace ID [ko], aKakaoTV original entertainment show revealing the everyday lifestyle of celebrities through their phones, which aired every Monday for three weeks from January 25. In the episodes, she revealed the production process of many of her songs, daily lives with (G)I-dle members,[50] 1,600 demo songs,[51] and behind-the-scenes video from the preparation ofI Burn to the day of its release.[52] On May 21, 2021, it was reported that Soyeon would be releasing a solo album.[53] On June 16, 2021, Cube Entertainment announced that her first EP,Windy, would be released on July 5, with "Beam Beam" serving as the lead single.[54] Soyeon won her firstmusic program trophy onSBS MTV'sThe Show on July 13.[55][56]

On November 9, 2023, it was confirmed that Soyeon would be part of a special collaboration single "Nobody" withIve'sLiz andAespa'sWinter, which was released on November 16.[58][59]
On February 20, 2024, Soyeon, along withYena, was featured in the music video of "Sugar Rush" byBIBI.[60]
Soyeon thenwrote and participated incomposing the title track forQWER's second EPAlgorithm's Blossom, titled "My Name is Malguem" (내이름 맑음), released on September 23, 2024,[61] which secured the first music show win for the band.[62]
Soyeon stated that her bandmates are her primary songwriting inspirations.[63] She was heavily influenced by her rap teacher in high school, who Soyeon recalled "taught [her] the basics like how to write good lyrics and how to melt in your sincerity."[64] She also namedCL,[65]Britney Spears andAvril Lavigne as her role models with the latter two being the inspiration behindI Never Die's concept and fashion.[66]
Soyeon's songs are also inspired by cartoons, books and dramas.[67] "Idle Song" was created because she was inspired by theSpongeBob SquarePants theme song.[68] "Latata" was inspired by Song Joon-geun's catchphrase "arata rata rata" inKBS2'sGag Concert.[69][70] "Hann (Alone)" was inspired by Kim Sowol's poem "Azaleas". "Senorita" was inspired by Spanish song, "Despacito" (2017).[71] "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.[72] "Lion" was inspired from live-actionThe Lion King during her group's debut in Japan.[72]
ForI Never Die, Soyeon compared the album with theMarineford war inOne Piece anime series – "the war is a very important event inOne Piece. The story revolves around the members who have grown up two years after fighting a war that they thought was an insurmountable crisis and like the members are separated to grow up. Like the manga, I thoughtI Never Die is an album that depicts (G)I-dle after the war. This album, which is represented by growth and shock, was perfected with passion and fierceness."[78] "Tomboy" was inspired by the fictional character,Cruella de Vil.[79]
"If we had done music that taught and gave lessons before, this time we wanted to express the songs [message] with a light andcomical point along with themotif of the movieI Feel Pretty.
—Soyeon explaining the art direction of the album,Electronic Times.[80]
Before the release ofI Love, Soyeon appeared in episode 445 ofI Live Alone where she was seen leading a meeting for the next album in which she said "I have a message I want to convey," that "It's better to be hated as I am than to be loved as I am not." She stated that she was inspired by late actressMarilyn Monroe for the next album concept. "I want to break the prejudice of 'sexy'. You can think of it as ametaphorical expression that 'even if I am loved by you again, I will (still) be me'," she added.[81]
Soyeon noted in the press release for the albumI Feel, that she was inspired by the 2018 movieI Feel Pretty and the subject revolves around conveying a message aboutself-esteem andconfidence.[80]
Although Soyeon trained in songwriting classes before her debut, she never intended to be (G)I-dle's primary songwriter. Instead, she took on the role out of necessity: "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."[63] She described her composition process as starting with writing melodies on a blank page with just a piano or a beat, noting that "it is common to have a track maker, someone who writes melodies and putting a melody on a mostly completed beat." In the production of the group's debut song "Latata", Soyeon began withmoombahton beats and simple instruments such as percussion, putting them on loop and coated them with melody. She considers her bandmates while writing and tries to avoid the lyrics involving "me" or "I".[64] Soyeon further emphasized the importance of appealing to emotions to "mak[e] music without prejudice ... I think it's the music that anyone can sympathize with. Our group is multinational and has no language barrier."[82]
For (G)I-dle's first preliminary performance on the competition showQueendom, Soyeon proposed a sorceress concept for "Latata", an arrangement thatIZM praised as "an entirely original song". According to the magazine, her consistent confidence in her group, song and herself both on and offstage is because "she has a clear image of what she wants to create."[83][84][85] Poet Seo Hyo-in wrote that Soyeon "covers all aspects of producing, from composition and writing, rap making and setting the concept" but "doesn't overshadow the other members." She praised Soyeon for maximizing the strengths of each member, allowing them to find their own artistic freedom.[86]
Soyeon expressed her desire for more women to take part in record production,[87] believing that there are no gender boundaries when it comes to arts forms like music, performances and gaming.[88] She stated, "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."[89] In June 2020 interview withMTV, on using the pronoun "she" in "Oh My God", Soyeon remarked that she "didn't want to limit that 'she' to a certain being or a certain definition, so it's open to anything" and that "all kinds of love are valuable and must be respected."[90]
Media outlets have labelled Soyeon a versatile artist, "triple threat", andAlpha girl due to her success as a rapper, singer, and songwriter and skills in record production and dancing.[6][91] Cube Entertainment noted that Soyeon's presence in (G)I-dle was vital to the group's popularity and helped set them apart from their peers.[92] Also nicknamed "survival born monster", stemming from her appearance on multiple survival shows, she has established herself as a next-generation "producer-dol".[93][94]RBW's Cosmic Sound (Kim Ki-hyun) and Cosmic Girl (formerRania member Yoo Joo-yi) described Soyeon as a "genius songwriter-idol",[95] andKukinews named her the first successful femaleKorean idol singer who also produces music for both her group and other artists.[96] Journalist Park Eun-hae dubbed Soyeon the KoreanLady Gaga due to her small figure; courage to try challenging concepts without genre limitations; and unique position in the Korean entertainment industry as a writer, producer, and performer.[97] She is currently taking charge of the girl groupBaby Dont Cry's creative direction and music production.[98]
During the recording of "My Name is Malgeum" (내이름 맑음),QWER member Hina recalled, "Since my voice has a lot of nasal sounds, she told me, 'Sound like a man, don't be shy, and try your best.' I was very moved by Soyeon's consideration during the whole recording process, and I think my vocal range has broadened thanks to this experience".[112]
In April 2020, Soyeon donated 30,000 hand sanitizers during theCOVID-19 pandemic in South Korea through the Holt Children's Welfare Association.[113]
On June 2, 2021, Soyeon opened a personalInstagram account with several photos of selfies and an arm tattoo.[114] Later, Soyeon revealed the tattoo was a "consent for organ donation" tattoo onV Live. She stated, "I saw an article saying that an average of 5 people a day died waiting for an organ donor. I thought about what I could do for others in my life, and then I came to a conclusion. It was a decision I made after cautiously thinking."[115][116]
On January 18, 2022, Soyeon donated 20,000 briquettes to the Sharing Briquettes of Love campaign to help those in need, including unprivileged and low-income families, throughout the cold winter.[113]
In February 2023, Soyeon donated₩20 million to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association in order to aid those affected by the2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake.[117]
On July 17, 2024, Soyeon donated₩100 million to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association, as a member of Hope Bridge Honors Club, to help recover from heavy rain damage across South Korea. She stated, "I participated in the donation with the hope that it would be a small comfort to those affected by this heavy rain."[118][119]
On March 28, 2025, Soyeon delivered another₩100 million in donations to the same foundation, Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association, to support for residents in areas affected by forest fires such asUlsan, Gyeongbuk, Gyeongnam and temporary shelters. A statement was issued where she stated, "I wanted to convey even a little comfort. I sincerely hope that those who are suffering will return to their daily lives as soon as possible," she added, "I think it's time for all of us to reach out."[120][121]
