Early life

It was then that her street dancer life began. [3]

After seeing Cube Entertainment's 2014 audition poster, Jeon decided to audition once again and was selected in the audition held at Incheon. After passing the final round of judging, Jeon became a trainee of Cube Entertainment. [3]

[43] Jeon was described as an Alpha girl for utilising and exhibiting her skills in writing, composing, arranging, choreographing, rapping, dancing and singing. A representative from Cube noted that Jeon's presence in the group's determined the groups popularity from the start and made (G)I-dle different from other groups they debuted before.

[48]

Influences

Jeon stated that her bandmates are her inspiration for songwriting. [49] She was heavily influenced by her rap teacher when she was in high school and started to rap after she met that teacher. Jeon said: "That amazing mentor taught me the basics like how to write good lyrics and how to melt in your sincerity." [50]

Jeon also came up with songs, albums, concepts while inspired by cartoons, books and dramas. [51] "Idle Song" was created because she was inspired by SpongeBob SquarePants's theme song. [52] "Latata" was inspired by Song Joon-geun's catchphrase "arata rata rata" in KBS2's Gag Concert . [53] [54] “HANN (Alone)” was inspired by Kim Sowol’s poem “Azaleas”. "Senorita" was inspired by "Despacito". [55] "Uh-Oh" was inspired by the expression and the tone used by staff, where she'd shot a reality show, To Neverland in the U.S. [56] "Lion" was inspired from live-action The Lion King during her group's debut in Japan. [57] For I Trust album concept, Jeon revealed that she got inspired by watching an isekai anime, KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! Legend of Crimson , [58] [59] and "Luv U" was created and choreographed from the scene heart-finger V by the animation Sugar Sugar Rune . [60] "Dumdi Dumdi" was inspired by the 2016 Disney's Zootopia . [61]

Jeon is seen as a role model for teens, young women, [62] and various female artists, such as ANS' Dalyn, [63] Woo!ah!'s Songyee, [64] and Lunarsolar's Eseo. [65] K-pop producer and songwriter Ryan S. Jhun said that he is a big fan of idol competition show Queendom , and also shared that he hopes to work with Jeon one day. [66]

Songwriting and musical style

Although Jeon had been given songwriting classes while she was a trainee, she never intended to be the group's primary songwriter. She said, "At first, I really didn't know I'd be writing these songs ... but our debut was getting delayed because we didn't have a song. So that's when I thought, I should write our song, and started writing a title track." [49]

In the production of "Latata", Jeon began with a moombahton beats with the thought of her members. For the instruments, she used percussions. After making the beat with simple instruments, she put it on loop and coated it with melody. She described her process in composing started with writing beats and melodies on a blank page with just a piano or a beat. She continued explaining that it is common to have a track maker, someone who writes melodies and putting a melody on a mostly completed beat. She confessed she avoids the words "me or I" in lyrics. [50]

In Queendom's first preliminary performance, Jeon proposed a sorceress concept of "Latata". In music critics IZM's words, it "does not look like the a rearranged version, but more like an entirely original song". The article also mentioned the reason she can consistently being confident about her team, song and herself both on and off stage is because she has a clear image of what she wants to create. [67] [68] [69] Poet Seo Hyo-in wrote that "Soyeon covers all aspects of producing, from composition and writing, rap making and setting the concept. However, she doesn't overshadow the other members." She praised Jeon for maximising the strengths of each member and allows them to find their own artistic freedom. [70]

Gender stereotypes in music

"All stereotypes must be crushed. The stereotype that you're too young to do something. The stereotype that limits female idols. Music has no gender"

— Soyeon talking about stereotypes. [51]

Jeon believes that women can be producers as well and hoped that more women would come out as producers. [71] She believes that there are no boundaries when it comes to arts forms like music, performances and gaming. [72] "When I write, I don't think about gender. No "we're a girl group", women, men or age. I just write what's on my mind." [73] In a June 2020 interview with MTV, Jeon discussed using the word 'she' in "Oh My God" stating, "I didn't want to limit that 'she' to a certain being or a certain definition, so it's open to anything. I believe that all kinds of love are valuable and must be respected." [74]
