Draft:Shin Yechan

Shin Yechan (born June 13, 1992) is a South Korean artist, best known as the leader and violinist of the band LUCY.

Early Life
Yechan began playing the violin in the third grade after accompanying his mother to a violin lesson. His violin teacher noticed his natural talent for tuning the instrument on his own and suggested that he pursue violin studies. Since then, Shin has specialized in classical violin.

Ganeung Dong Band Era
Yechan served as the violinist in the Ganeung Dong Band. After seeing the lead singer Im Gun-joo perform solo on the streets, Yechan invited him to perform together. Later, drummer Jo Hwan-seok joined, completing the band.

The band gained attention due to Im Gun-joo's vocals and Yechan's unique violin style, becoming a well-known street band. Their busking performance of "Smooth Criminal" on YouTube reached over 15 million views.

In 2018, Ganeung Dong Band performed on the show "I Can See Your Voice."

Superband Era
In 2019, Shin Yechan, along with Ganeung Dong Band, participated in the TV show "Superband." During the show, Shin teamed up with Lee Ju-hyuk, Jo Won-sang, and Shin Gwang-il to form the band LUCY, ultimately finishing as runners-up. After the show, Shin decided to focus on LUCY and officially left the Ganeung Dong Band, though they remain good friends.

LUCY Era
On March 27, 2020, Yechan signed an exclusive contract with Mystic Story. LUCY released their first digital single album "DEAR." on May 8, 2020, and has been active since. The team continuously grew its popularity and has released more than 100 songs so far. LUCY was invited to SXSW in 2023. It is currently on its first world tour "Written by Flower" across 20 cities in the United States.
