BIOGRAPHY
Jeon Soo-yeon is the rare K-pop idol who is also a genuine music industry creative. She writes, composes, and produces the vast majority of (G)I-DLE's discography — a level of creative ownership almost without precedent among girl group members at her label tier. Before (G)I-DLE, she competed on YG's Treasure Box and appeared on Unpretty Rapstar, establishing a reputation as one of K-pop's most technically precise rappers. The group's artistic identity — including its visual direction, concept choices, and lyrical voice — is substantially her work.
Music production and theory study (her primary passion), fashion — she designs elements of her own stage costumes — and mentoring younger artists.
