Ahn Ye-eun (Korean: 안예은, Hanja: 安叡垠 born May 21, 1992), is a South Korean genre-bending singer-songwriter, who is best known as the runner-up of K-pop Star 5. She is well known for singing the soundtrack for the TV series The Rebel.[1]
Ahn was born with congenital heart defect, and she said she had spent almost her entire childhood in hospitals.[2] She started learning piano at the age of four.[3] Influenced by Kim Yoon-ah, the lead singer in Jaurim, and female-fronted bands such as Loveholics and Cherry Filter, Ahn had wished to become a singer since middle school. She was attending the Applied Music department of Dong-ah Institute of Media and Arts.[4] Rumor has it that Ahn was a violent bully during her school days, still she denied the accusation.[5]
Ahn's musical style mixed traditional folk and pop.[6] Her mostly musical style is pansori, a traditional Korean narrative singing.[7] Ahn's discography saw more modern and new pansori that kept the base elements of pansori while adding a different touch such as the inclusion of more instruments.[8] The switch between similar-sounding instruments of different cultures appears in her songs.[6]
Ahn's music has various motifs, most from Korean folktales and historical events, while others from the Proust phenomenon, Korean shamanism, etc.[9][2] Her debut album Ahn Ye-eun was about love.[10] She released four horror songs since 2020, which started out "curiosity about whether music alone can make people feel scared".[2]
