Known for his warm, powerful tone and effortless high notes, Song has become one of the most beloved vocalists of his generation, admired as much for his voice as for his down-to-earth, caring personality within the group.

Early Life and Trainee Days

Born on February 8, 1995, in Seoul, South Korea, Song originally dreamed of becoming an actor and joined YG Entertainment in April 2012 hoping to pursue acting. However, staff quickly noticed his vocal talent and redirected him toward singing. He trained alongside future iKON members as part of “Team B,” appearing on the survival programs WIN: Who Is Next (2013) and Mix & Match (2014), where he ultimately secured his spot in the group’s final lineup.

He is often referred to by fans and members alike as the “hidden leader” for quietly taking care of the group’s wellbeing behind the scenes.

Solo Career

After iKON’s move to 143 Entertainment in 2023, Song made his long-awaited solo debut on March 6, 2024, with the mini album It’s Call!, featuring the title track “It’s Call” alongside “I.I.L (I’m In Love)” featuring fellow member Bobby. The release showcased his versatility beyond ballads, embracing an upbeat, trot-influenced sound that surprised and delighted fans.
