On February 8, 1995, Song Yunhyeong was born in Gambuk-dong, Hanam, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. His parents, who run a BBQ restaurant, and his younger sister Song Eunjin, who is referred to as an ulzzang (meaning "very pretty"), made up his close-knit family. He gained the nickname "Song Chef" among iKON musicians and fans due to his culinary prowess, which was influenced by his upbringing in a family-run business. At first, Yunhyeong was active in the drama club at his high school and wanted to become an actor. He auditioned for YG Entertainment because he was interested in acting, but because of his voice potential and rapid learning curve, he was sent to train as an idol.

Education:

Song Yunhyeong is the only member of iKON to have traditionally finished secondary school while training, having graduated from Hanlim Multi Art School. He was able to combine his academic career and trainee life while attending Hanlim Arts High School, which set him apart from the other members of his group.

Career:

On September 15, 2015, Song Yunhyeong made her iKON debut under YG Entertainment with the album Welcome Back, which peaked at the top of the South Korean and Taiwanese charts. Originally consisting of seven members (Jay, Song, Bobby, DK, Ju-ne, Chan, and B.I.), iKON lost B.I. in 2019. Popular songs by the group include "Love Scenario," "Killing Me," and "Goodbye Road." After joining YG as a trainee in April 2012, Yunhyeong competed in the survival shows Mix & Match, which determined iKON's lineup, and WIN: Who Is Next (as a member of Team B). His commitment was evident, as he greatly enhanced his singing and dancing abilities in between performances.
