Park In Jung, later legally changed to Park So Yeon, is a South Korean singer, dancer, actress, and former member of T-ARA (티아라). She graduated from Anyang Arts High School.

In 2005, she took part in the CMB Chin Chin Singing Competition and won the Gold Award. She then spent time as a trainee at SM Entertainment and was set to debut as the leader of GIRLS' GENERATION. However, she left the company six months before their debut when the stress and pressure of becoming an idol became too much for her. She then signed with MBK Entertainment (MBK엔터테인먼트; previously known as Core Content Media) in late 2008.

She made her debut in July 2009 as T-ARA's main vocalist with the digital single "Lies". They made their TV debut on the MBC talk show "Radio Star", which was highly unusual for an idol group as they would normally debut in a music show. She was not part of the group's original lineup, but three weeks before debuting, two members decided to leave due to differences in music style, and she was added by MBK as a replacement.

As part of T-ARA's policy of having a rotating leader, she assumed this role from December 2011 until July 2013. They subsequently gained nationwide recognition after releasing the single "Roly-Poly" in 2011, which went on to become the Gaon chart's best-selling single of the year.

However, the group's reputation took a hit in July 2012 when Ryu Hwa Young only performed one song during a concert in Japan while sustaining an alleged leg injury. Member Hyo Min and Ryu's twin sister engaged in a series of messages, leading to speculation of an internal conflict, sparking a major controversy and backlash against the members who were seen as bullies. This incident was finally resolved in February 2017 when staff members presented evidence that put Ryu and her sister as the actual bullies of Lee Ah Reum and exaggerated the leg injury she suffered in Japan. Ryu admitted all the evidence was real, and she deleted her social media accounts.

She then became part of QBS, a sub-unit only targeting the Japanese market. They debuted in June 2013 with the single "Like The Wind". They never released any new material as the sub-unit disbanded in May 2017 when Jeon Bo Ram's and her contract expired, and both left the agency.

After leaving the group, she made her debut as a solo artist in late 2020 with the Chinese digital single "Letter" and made her debut in South Korea in February 2021 with the single "They Are All The Same".

She married soccer player Cho Yu Min, who is 9 years younger than her, in February 2022.

She remains in the industry as an actress and singer but is currently not represented by any agency.
