Hwang So-yoon
Hwang So-yoon (Korean: 황소윤; born 23 May 1997) is a South Korean musician. Hwang came to prominence as the lead vocalist of the indie rock band Se So Neon, of which she remains the band's only member. Initially a guitarist and pianist, Hwang is known primarily for her vocal range and lyricism, and is the recipient of eight Korean Music Award wins and nominations.
Since 2019, Hwang has performed under the solo moniker So!YoON! with two studio albums: So!YoON! (2019) and Episode 1: Love (2023). As a soloist, Hwang has collaborated with artists such as RM of BTS, Silica Gel, Phum Viphurit, Hoshi & Woozi of Seventeen, Park Ji-yoon and Enhypen. Hwang has also produced music for other artists, including Audrey Nuna and Teezo Touchdown.
In 2016, at age 18, Hwang founded Se So Neon with drummer Gangto and bassist Fancy Moon. In 2017, the group had released their first EP Summer Plumage (여름깃), and won Rookie of the Year and Best Rock Song at the Korean Music Awards.
By 2018, both members had left to perform their mandatory military service, with Hwang recruiting Park Hyun-jin and U-su to take their place.
In 2020, Hwang and Se So Neon were named Fender's Global Artist of the Year, and were nominated for three additional Korean Music Awards. In 2021, the group were the only Korean act to be included in YouTube Music's global foundry program.
In 2023, Se So Neon's performance at Sungkyunkwan University was boycotted by students after social media comments by Hwang surfaced online. Hwang had previously publicly responded to the Nth Room scandal in 2020 by sharing an op-ed which criticized South Korean society for downplaying sexual exploitation and due to the high number of members in the Telegram chats, called for all men to be treated as potential criminals.
In 2024, Hwang and Se So Neon performed at SXSW despite a boycott by over 100 artists over the festival's sponsorship by the United States Department of Defense. Two days after the performance, the band released an apology expressing their regret, citing ignorance due the lack of Gaza-related coverage in South Korean media and extending condolences to civilians affected by the Gaza war.
After the departure of U-su in 2022, and Park Hyun-jin in 2025, Hwang remains the only active member of Se So Neon. On August 15, 2025, the band released their debut album Now.
