Noh Jong Yoon, known professionally as John Noh, is a tenor singer and member of RABIDANCE (라비던스; stylized as RabidAnce). He obtained a bachelor's degree in Music from the Peabody School Music at Johns Hopkins University. Later, he earned two master's degrees in Music from Juilliard School and Yale University.

As a teenager, he was sent to a Christian high school in the U.S. to take Theology classes as his father was a pastor, and just before graduating, he saw a clip of Luciano Pavarotti singing "Nessun Dorma" and decided to study vocal music. After his first year at Johns Hopkins, he could not afford the remaining years, so he went back to Korea to do mandatory military service. He reapplied after completing his service and obtained a full scholarship to finish his degree.

He made his debut at Carnegie Hall as a vocal soloist for Mozart's "Requiem Mass in D minor" in 2018.

While a student at Yale, his grandmother passed away in South Korea, and he realized he had never performed for his family, so he auditioned for the singing survival show "Phantom Singer 3" and ended up joining 3 other singers during the team mission and form RABIDANCE. The group managed to finish in 2nd place, behind winners LA POEM.

They officially debuted in July 2021 with their first mini-album, "Prism".

They were represented by CREDIA Music & Artists, but in March 2022, they left the label and established their own called Neotrend Music (네오트렌드 뮤직) with Ko Young Yeol as the representative.
