So Geon

So Geon (소건), formerly introduced to many viewers as Ken, gives NEXZ one of its quietest but most useful performance identities. Born on September 13, 2006 in Tokyo to Korean parents, he emerged from Nizi Project Season 2 with a composed, cross-cultural profile that fits the group's Korea-Japan strategy almost perfectly.

What makes So Geon interesting is restraint. He is not built around the loudest persona in the lineup, but that is part of the value. His tone, visual balance, and measured stage presence help stabilize NEXZ when performances need clarity rather than excess. As JYP Entertainment expanded the group across both markets, he became one of the members who naturally embodied that bridge role.

His public story is still early, but the release run already gives the page shape. Ride the Vibe introduced him to the market, NALLINA and O-RLY? strengthened the group's Korean profile, and One Bite plus Beat-Boxer underlined how quickly NEXZ moved from survival-show winners to a functioning transnational act. On HITKULTR, So Geon reads like a long-game member rather than a short-term rookie novelty.

Who is So Geon in NEXZ?
So Geon is a Korean member of NEXZ who was born in Tokyo on September 13, 2006. He first reached wider audiences through Nizi Project Season 2, where his calm stage presence and balanced skill set helped him secure a place in the final lineup of JYP and Sony Music's global boy group.
Why was So Geon previously called Ken?
During the Nizi Project Season 2 period, many viewers first knew So Geon by the name Ken. As his official artist identity settled after debut, the NEXZ rollout shifted to So Geon, which is the name now used across the group's official profile and promotion materials.
When did So Geon debut with NEXZ?
So Geon debuted with NEXZ on May 20, 2024 through the Korea 1st single album Ride the Vibe. The group then expanded quickly through NALLINA in late 2024 and O-RLY?, One Bite, and Beat-Boxer across 2025, giving him a fast-moving first full year in the market.
What makes So Geon stand out in NEXZ?
So Geon stands out for control rather than flash. His tone, visual balance, and composed on-stage energy help ground NEXZ performances, especially as the group moves between Korean and Japanese promotions. That quieter stability gives the team a different kind of center than a purely high-impact performance member would.
Which company manages So Geon?
So Geon is managed as a member of NEXZ by JYP Entertainment in partnership with Sony Music Japan. That structure matters because his career has been designed from the beginning as a Korea-Japan act, not a standard single-market idol launch.
