Huh Yunjin

Huh Yunjin is a singer-songwriter and one of five members of the HYBE and Source Music girl group LE SSERAFIM, which debuted in May 2022. Alongside group work she has built a reputation for diary-style solo songs she writes herself, including "Raise Y_our Glass," "I ≠ DOLL" and "Love You Twice." She also draws and paints, and her artwork has been used in the animated video for one of her releases. In June 2026 the group put out "Iconic by Mistake," a team-up with KATSEYE and ILLIT that entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 38.

Where they grew up

Yunjin was born in South Korea and moved to the United States as a child. She grew up in the small upstate New York town of Niskayuna, a few hours north of New York City, and felt isolated and cut off from her roots at first. Korean was her first language, and English came later, so she often could not say everything she wanted to. She turned to books, then began inventing her own stories, and also took up painting and drawing as outlets. Her parents valued cultural experiences, so she visited many museums and galleries, and her auditions for K-pop agencies took place in New York City. Years of training in Korea followed, and she nearly left that path for college before the call to join LE SSERAFIM came.
