June (singer)
solo R&B singer
Hyun Jun (주현준, born January 2, 1987), better known as June, is a solo R&B singer under Sony Music Japan. He is Korean by birth, but his career consists of producing mostly Japanese music and original soundtracks for anime. His biggest contribution to Japanese music has been through his two biggest singles for the soundtracks of popular shōnen anime during the early 2000's.
His first single, "Baby It's You", was used as the ninth ending theme for the anime Bleach. His second single, "Pride of Tomorrow", was the second ending theme for the anime D.Gray-Man.

Why this record matters
“June (singer)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, June, singer and solo provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6311954. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1987, 2000, 2004 and 2006.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
