[Background music starts] [Montage of Jeon's childhood photos] Jeon Soyeon was born on August 26 1998 in Seoul, South Korea. Her passion for ballet shone through as she participated in and conquered various competitions. But everything changed when she witnessed a performance by Big Bang, leading her to switch gears and embark on a challenging path in the music industry.
Undeterred by around 20 to 30 failed singing auditions, Jeon redirected her focus to rap, attracting interest from potential collaborators. Despite facing differences in musical direction, she chose to pivot again, this time towards street dancing.

On January 11, 2018, it was announced that Jeon would be re-debuting in Cube Entertainment's new girl group (G)I-dle, as a rapper and its leader. She was credited in writing the lyrics, music, and arrangement for both their debut song "Latata" and their next single "Hann," both of which were well received and commercially successful. She also helped write five songs from (G)I-dle's debut extended play I Am. On August 8, 2018, it was announced that Jeon would participate in a girl group project called Station Young for SM Station's X 0 alongside Red Velvet's Seulgi, Kim Chung-ha, and GFriend's SinB. Station Young released their first song, "Wow Thing," on September 28, 2018.
After their debut, Jeon and fellow (G)I-dle member Miyeon were approached by Riot Games to collaborate with American artists Jaira Burns and Madison Beer as part of the virtual girl group K/DA for the multiplayer online battle arena video game League of Legends. K/DA officially debuted with the song "Pop/Stars" during the 2018 League of Legends World Championship on November 3. The official music video for "Pop/Stars" was released on the same day, reaching 30 million views on YouTube in five days and 100 million in one month. The single release of the song reached number one on Billboard's World Digital Songs chart. The K/DA incarnation of the character Akali, whose vocals were performed by Jeon, proved to be especially popular, becoming a frequent subject of fan art and cosplay.
In 2019, Jeon took on the role of composer for CLC's "No," a selection made through a blind test, serving as the lead single for the group's EP No.1. In March of the same year, Jeon publicly apologized for using a pirated version of the German music-producing software Kontakt. She expressed regret on her online fan community site, acknowledging her use of the illegal copy during her early days of learning songwriting. Jeon clarified that she had unintentionally retained the program but assured that, since fully dedicating herself to composing, she had exclusively used authorized software. The apology followed the revelation in a behind-the-scenes YouTube video for the I Made EP, produced by the agency, where icons of the illegally copied software were visible on her laptop screen. The agency promptly removed the video and issued an apology.
Jeon reprised her role as Akali in the League of Legends collaborative hip hop group True Damage. Collaborating with Becky G, Keke Palmer, Thutmose, and Duckwrth, they released a single titled "Giants" along with an animated music video on November 10, 2019. The track, predominantly in English, includes verses in Spanish and Korean. On the same day, the group performed at the 2019 League of Legends World Championship finals in Paris, France, marking Jeon's second consecutive year participating in the opening ceremony of the World Championship finals. "Giants" debuted at number fifteen and nineteen on Billboard's Rap and R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs Sales charts, respectively.
