Lim Seulong (임슬옹), known mononymously as Seulong, is a South Korean singer and actor born on May 11, 1987, in Seoul. He debuted as the lead vocalist of the ballad group 2AM under JYP Entertainment and Big Hit Entertainment in July 2008, earning a reputation for the falsetto control and emotional weight he brought to the group's signature ballads, including chart-topper 'Can't Let You Go Even If I Die.' He holds a bachelor's degree in Theater and Film from Daejin University and a master's degree in Cultural Arts Management from Kyung Hee University.
Seulong pursued a concurrent acting career, making his drama debut in MBC's romantic comedy Personal Taste (2010) alongside Lee Min-ho, which earned him a Best New Actor nomination at the MBC Drama Awards.

On the music side, Seulong launched his solo career with the single 'Melatonin' in November 2015, followed by the duet 'Always' with Red Velvet's Joy in 2016. In July 2025, after an eight-year absence from solo releases, he returned with the mini-album Rainbow Light, a four-track project crossing multiple genres built around his distinctive soft tone. He subsequently launched the fan concert tour Ong Boarding, playing Seoul in September 2025, Hanoi in November 2025, and Tokyo.
