Origins & Early Life

Kwon So-hyun (Korean: 권소현; born August 30, 1994), known mononymously as Sohyun, is a South Korean actress and singer. She was known as a former member of South Korean girl group 4Minute, under Cube Entertainment, and also a former member of the South Korean girl group, Orange. Before June 15, 2016 (end of her contract with Cube), Kwon left 4Minute and the record label along with members Nam Ji-hyun, Heo Ga-yoon, and Jeon Ji-yoon. Kwon was born in Incheon, South Korea, on August 30, 1994. She attended Kumho Junior High School and Pungmoon Girls' High School, graduating from the latter in February 2013.

Career & Major Achievements

She was ranked fourth in her class. In November 2014 was revealed that Kwon was accepted into Dongguk University's Department of Theatre and Film. Kwon debuted as a member of the group Orange in 2005 when she was 12 years old. The band released their debut album, titled We Are Orange with the title track "Our Star". The group disbanded in late 2005 due to cyber bullying and anti-fan internet cafes against the group.

Enduring Legacy & Impact

In middle school, Kwon began registering for audition academies. There, she met a representative of an agency and became a trainee in less than two months. Kwon was grouped together with the other 4Minute trainees, filling the vacancy caused by Soyou's departure. In June 2009, Kwon made her debut as the youngest member of the girl group 4Minute under Cube Entertainment, with their single "Hot Issue".
