Jeon So Yeon is a South Korean singer, dancer, producer, composer, and member of I-DLE (아이들, formerly known as (G)-IDLE). She graduated from Chung-Ang University High School. As a child, she was a ballerina and won several competitions before deciding to quit to pursue a career as a singer.

After attending the Incheon auditions, she joined CUBE Entertainment (큐브엔터테인먼트) in 2014. Then, as the agency's representative, she participated in two survival shows in 2016. She first entered "Produce 101", where she finished in 20th place, thus unable to join the resulting project group, I.O.I. Six months later, she entered "Unpretty Rapstar 3", where she surprised with her rapping skills and finished in 3rd place.

She made her debut as a solo artist in November 2017 with the digital singles "Jelly" and "Idle Song", which she wrote herself.

She then made her debut in May 2018 as G-IDLE's leader, main rapper, sub-vocalist and center with their first mini-album, "I Am". The group has been acknowledged as one of the most successful South Korean girl groups outside of the "big four" record labels and is known for writing and producing much of their material.

Then, in October of that year, she performed at the League of Legends World Finals Opening Ceremony and voiced the well-known character Akali in the virtual K-pop girl group K/DA. They released the song "Pop/Star" one month later and immediately topped Billboard's World Digital Songs chart.

She has composed, arranged, produced, and written the lyrics of many of the group's songs, and she has also done the same for other idols such as CLC and QWER, among others. She was promoted to a full-time member of the Korea Music Copyright Association in January 2024, joining IU and BoA as the only females on the list at that time. In May 2025, all members renewed their contracts and decided to drop the "G" from the group's name, rebranding as I-DLE.
