Shaun (musician)

Kim Yun-ho (Korean: 김윤호; born January 12, 1990),[1] known professionally as Shaun (Korean: 숀), is a South Korean singer-songwriter, music producer, and DJ. He debuted in 2010 as the keyboardist and backup singer of the indie rock band The Koxx.[2] In July 2018, his solo song, "Way Back Home," unexpectedly topped South Korean music charts, drawing accusations that he and his management had manipulated chart rankings.
