Alex "Haneul" Yoon (born Yoon Jung Suk) is a Korean-American musician from La Mirada, California. He was born on September 1, 1989 under Alex and Jane Yoon in the city of Orange where he resided for 4 years. From ages 4-9 he lived in Korea due to his father's business and then came back to the States to live in Anaheim.

Early Life
While living in Korea, he attended to a art/music school in Ansan, where he became familiar with piano, sight reading, and visual art. But due to his lack of interest, his time at the art/music school was short-lived. After moving back to America, he made friends in middle school who listened to bands like Metallica, Testament, Slayer, and AFI, who have made a big impact on his musical taste, knowledge, and interest. During his second year of high school, Alex began learning how to play the guitar, while his friend Greg Ferranti started learning how to play the bass. By nearly the end of Junior year of high school, Alex was approached by his friend Greg Ferranti with an idea of joining a band together called We Are The End. Soon enough he and Greg were officially in the band, but due to some conflicts involving other members, they left the band.

Journey of music
Even when Alex was in We are the end, he constantly wrote classical/instrumental pieces for his own interest and values, on guitar and piano. After quitting We are the end, he took private lessons for guitar at a music school, but quit after his third session, due to his teacher's inability to control himself while he was intoxicated with marijuana. From then on, he learned how to play the guitar by ear and from watching his greatest influences like Hideto Matsumoto and Yngwie Malmsteen.

Current Projects
Alex is currently the lead guitarist for Thrash metal/Progressive band Incarpathia. The band was formed by Alex, Greg, and Victor Camarena. They are currently working on their EP, and will be released before end of 2008.
