Sung Jin Hwan is a South Korean singer, cartoonist, and former member of SWEET SORROW (스윗소로우). He graduated from Daeil Foreign Language High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Economics from Yonsei University.

During his college years, he was part of the glee club, and there, he met Song Woo Jin, Im Ho Jin and pianist Kim Young Woo. All four, plus four other friends, created a cappella group who they called SWEET SORROW using the quote "Parting is such a sweet sorrow" from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" to remind them of the hardships they faced in the past.

He decided to pursue a music career and made his debut in 2002 by performing at college festivals and events until they won the Daesang at the Yoo Jae Ha Music Competition and signed a contract with Mezoo Cultures. The group released their first studio album, "Sweet Sorrow", in November 2005 and have continued to release albums, EPs or have sung OSTs for several dramas ever since.

In December 2017, he announced that due to health reasons, he was taking a break from all activities and, in February 2019, officially left the group. He is now out of the entertainment industry and works as a cartoonist.
