Ho Young Son

Son Ho Young

  • Name: Son Ho Young
  • Native name: 손호영
  • Also Known as: Son Ho Yeong, Son Hoyoung, Hoyoung
  • Nationality: American
  • Gender: Male
  • Born: March 26, 1980
  • Age: 45
Son Ho Young is an American singer, musical actor, and member of g.o.d (지오디). He was born in New Jersey, but he moved back to South Korea at a young age. He dropped out of high school but later passed the High School Graduation Certification Examination. He then obtained a bachelor's degree in Theater and Film from Dankook University.

In 1997, he auditioned for a new group that KH iHQ (KH아이에이치큐) and Joon Park were forming. They faced many challenges even before debuting as the International Monetary Fund collapse brought a severe economic crisis to South Korea and the agency struggled financially, having to cut funding to many trainees. Park Jin Young was brought in to become their producer and mentor, and originally, the group's name was set to be GOT6 before a trainee decided to quit.

He made his debut in January 1999 as g.o.d's rapper and vocalist with their first album, "Chapter 1". They gained attention for their "boys next door" looks and their vocal talent, a stark contrast to the trend of the era, which was largely focused on groups with visually appealing members and highly sophisticated and energetic choreography. They are one of the best-selling artists in South Korea, but due to their extended hiatus and lack of overseas promotions, their popularity and fame have been largely limited to the domestic market.

In September 2001, the group nearly disbanded when Joon Park was found out to be dating. The agency wanted him to quit the group so g.o.d could continue promoting. However, this decision was met with strong opposition by the other members and the fans, so it was eventually dropped.

In 2006, they decided to go on an indefinite hiatus but stated that they would not disband. All members began pursuing individual activities and he opted to begin a career in musical theater and as an actor. He made his debut as a solo artist in September 2006 with the album "Yes".

In May 2013, his girlfriend was found dead in his car. She had borrowed the car and drove to a park where she lit a tank of butane gas and died by suicide. He became so emotionally unstable that he tried to commit suicide three days later in the same way she did. Luckily, a passerby noticed the fumes and called the police for help. He was rescued without injuries.

The group officially reunited in 2014 and has continued to release new albums and has held concerts all over the country. Group activities are managed by Gemstone E&M (젬스톤이엔앰), and for his individual activities, he is represented by BEat Interactive (주식회사 비트인터렉티브).
