Kang Seung-yoon (born (1994-01-21)January 21, 1994), known as Seungyoon, is a South Korean singer-songwriter, actor, and leader of boy group Winner.[1] In 2010, he participated in the reality television singing contest Superstar K2 and finished in fourth place. In January 2011, he became a trainee under YG Entertainment[2] and went on to debut as a solo artist in July 2013 and as the leader of Winner in October 2013.[1]

Life and career

Early life

Kang Seung-yoon was born in Busan, South Korea on January 21, 1994. He learned to play guitar in the eighth grade. When he was in his last year of junior high, he took lessons in both classic guitar and billiards, going on to become the regional representative for billiards.[3]

2010–2012: Career beginnings, Superstar K2, and High Kick

In 2010, Seungyoon was a contestant on Mnet reality TV singing contest Superstar K2. He finished in fourth place, having released two singles, "I'll Write You a Letter" and "Instinctively". "I'll Write You a Letter" peaked at #24[4] on the Gaon Chart after its release on the Superstar K2: Top 6 (My Story) album, while "Instinctively" became a number one single in Korea[5] and one of the top 100 songs of the year.[6] It was released on its own as a digital single later in the Superstar K2 compilation album, Superstar K2 Up to 11.[1] He also released "Life is Tab" along with three other contestants to promote the Samsung Galaxy Tab.[7]

After initial success with Superstar K2, CEO Yang Hyun-suk signed Kang to YG Entertainment on January 12, 2011.[2] Kang also released a single, "You Are Heaven", for the soundtrack of the Korean drama Midas.[8]

Seungyoon graduated from Busan High School of Arts with a major in classic guitar in 2012.[9] That year, he appeared on MBC's drama High Kick: Revenge of the Short Legged.[10] He starred alongside f(x)'s Krystal and Lee Jong-suk as a kid with a heavy southern-Korean accent who arrives in Seoul dreaming to become the President. The series aired from 19 September 2011 to 29 March 2012.[11][12]

2013–present: Solo debut, debut with Winner, and acting career

On June 20, 2013, Yang Hyun-suk announced on YG Life that Seungyoon would be debuting as a solo artist with the single "Wild & Young", composed by Teddy, and also that Seungyoon would be participating in the reality program WIN: Who Is Next.[13] The program would involve two teams of YG trainees (A and B) that would compete against each other for the chance to debut at the end of the series. On July 15, it was announced that Seungyoon's debut would be postponed until the end of July, but that another track from his upcoming mini-album called "It Rains" would be released beforehand on July 16.[14] Just a day after its release, "It Rains" achieved an all-kill by placing at number one on all nine major real-time charts in Korea.[15] Seungyoon thanked the YG Family and his fans for their support.[16] Wild & Young was released on July 31[17] with two more title tracks set to be promoted in August and September. Live promotions of the single commenced on August 4 on Inkigayo.[18]

On August 14, Seungyoon's second single "맘도둑 (Stealer)" was released. The music video, starring rookie actress Yoon Jin-yi (who shared two on-screen kisses with Seungyoon), was "filmed secretly" and released without promotions so as not to disrupt the promotions for "Wild & Young".[19]

In October, in the seventh episode of WIN: Who Is Next, Seungyoon replaced bandmate Song Min-ho as the leader of "Team A". On October 25, it was announced that Team A had won the series and would debut as Winner. The group performed as the opening act of Big Bang's Japan Dome Tour which started on November 15, and made their own official debut on August 12, 2014.

In 2015, Seungyoon appeared as the male lead in the live-action adaptation of the web drama "We Broke Up", also starring 2NE1's Sandara Park. The 10-episode drama was aired from June 29-July 17 via Naver TV Cast and YouTube with English subtitles.
