The band is a project Soyoon Hwang
Genre-defying South Korean band, Se So Neon makes their highly anticipated return with the release of “Twit Winter.” The new track is accompanied by a music video that was shot in Seoul and self-directed by front woman, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Soyoon Hwang. With the new music, the group has crafted their own sonic identity, displaying a wide spectrum of musical influences varying from blues and psychedelic rock to new wave and synth pop. Sung primarily in Korean, their music is rooted both in the present and in nature, making “Twit Winter” relatable regardless of any language barrier. “People will feel my energy and my soul,” she proclaims.
Co-produced by Soyoon and Kenny Gilmore (Weyes Blood, Sudan Archives) and mixed by Nathan Boddy (Pink Pantheress, Geordie Greep), the song hears Soyoon exploring the complexity of time and human existence. With the band’s new music still in its infancy, she found herself reflecting upon music she had started writing as a teenager. Despite the growth and development that had since followed, she felt the songs were tethered to a past version of herself.
The music video became an experimental extension of this concept, acting as a time capsule for future Soyoon to revisit in 2065. Throughout watching “present” Soyoon in various scenarios, a white box remains present. It marks the designated spot that the Soyoon of the future will occupy.
In conjunction with the release of new music, the group will take their lauded live show back on the road this fall with a run of headline tour dates. Kicking off on September 3rd, the North American Tour 2025 will stop at iconic venues across the country, including performances at New York’s Brooklyn Steel, Los Angeles’ The Wiltern, DC’s 9:30 Club, Chicago’s Metro and many more. Ticket pre-sales begin on tomorrow (Tues, May 20th) at 10 am local time while general on-sale begins on Wednesday, May 21st at 10 am local time.
Se So Neon was formed in 2016 by Soyoon. Mirroring their sonic dexterity, the band has seen various iterations with Soyoon remaining the consistent anchor. Winning Rookie of the Year and Best Rock Song of the Year at the prestigious Korean Music Awards in their debut year, the group instantly became a leading figure of South Korea’s indie scene.
