Kim Yoo-yeon (Korean김유연; born February 9, 2001), is a South Korean singer, dancer and actress. She is a member of the girl group tripleS and its sub-units Acid Angel from Asia, Acid Eyes, EVOLution and Visionary Vision.

She first garnered attention through her participation in the survival competition show My Teenage Girl.

Early life

Kim Yoo-yeon was born on February 9, 2001,[1] in Seoul, Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, South Korea. When she was young, she studied abroad in New Zealand and United States to learn English. [2] She attended Sehwa Girls' High School, and currently attends Ewha Womans University majoring in Science Education, after taking the college entrance exam three times, but is currently on a leave of absence to pursue her dream of being a celebrity. [3] She previously was a student of Dongguk University in the department of Engineering but dropped out after the urging from her parents. [4]As she was growing up, her parents wanted her to pursue a career in the medical field due to her mother being a pharmacist and her father being a doctor. However, when attending university she wasn't sure if she was happy pursing the university major that she chose and wanted to be a celebrity instead. [5] Initially, her parents were against her being a celebrity and expressed their disappointment in the idea. [6][7]

Career

2021–2022: My Teenage Girl

On September 8, 2021, Kim appeared in a trailer for My Teenage Girl, confirming her participation. At the beginning of the show, she was eliminated due to not having enough points to pass to the next round. [8][9] However, the mentor Jeon So-yeon revived her back into the show. So-yeon stated, "when searching My Teenage Girl online, Yoo-yeon shows up first on the searches, this shows that she is someone who can catch the eye as a celebrity, and it is a charm that can be helpful to an idol group." [10] Yoo-yeon consistently ranked within the top three as the show progressed and unfortunately finished in eighth place in the final episode due to lack of benefit points, unable to debut in the final group.[11]

2022-present: Debut with tripleS

On July 11, 2022, Yoo-yeon was announced to be a member of tripleS as the fifth member.[12] Yoo-yeon stated that her 'heart hurt' after seeing her fans continuously wait for her to make her debut, so she gave the idol life a second chance as she is happiest when she is on stage. [13] Yoo-yeon was personally offered to join tripleS by the CEO, Jaden Jeong, as he watched My Teenage Girl. She is typically known as an idol who had zero days of idol training. [7]

On September 16, 2022 tripleS announced they would be debuting their first two sub-units, with the members of the sub-units being voted by fans. [14] She became a member and leader of the sub-unit Acid Angel from Asia on September 25, 2022 and the sub-unit officially debuted on October 27, 2022 with the debut extended play (EP) Access with "Generation" serving as the lead track.[15]

She officially debuted in tripleS as 10 members on February 13, 2023 with the extended play Assemble. [16] On April 20, tripleS announced that they would be debuting their next sub-units. [17] On June 2, Yoo-yeon became a member of the collaborative sub-unit, Acid Eyes, a collaboration of the two tripleS sub-units, Acid Angel from Asia and +(KR)ystal Eyes. [18] Yoo-yeon was announced as the first member and the leader of the sub-unit EVOLution on April 22. [19] The sub-unit debuted on October 11, 2023. In 2023, tripleS won several Rookie of the Year awards including MAMA Awards and Hanteo Music Awards.

Kim made her acting debut on April 7, 2024 as the leading role in the web series "What's Up?". [20] On June 18, Kim was announced to be placed into the sub-unit "Visionary Vision". [21]

Endorsements

In September 2022, Yooyeon appeared as an actress in a GS25 commercial alongside fellow tripleS member Kim Chae-yeon.[22][23]In May 2023, she became the brand promoter for 'CODINGON X SeSAC'. She appeared as an actress in various commercials for CODINGON in 2023. [24][25] [26] [27][28][29]In June 2023, YooYeon became a product packaging model for the Korean brand GRN+, for their product line 'Triple Festa'. [30][31]

Public Image and influence

In the media

Since her participation in My Teenage Girl, Yoo-yeon is often described as the 'Goddess of Ewha Womans University',[32] 'Goddess of My Teenage Girl', [33] 'Eternal Goddess',[32] 'Visual Center',[34] and 'The Next Generation Ending Fairy'. [35] She was named one of the top five visual contestants of My Teenage Girl, along with fellow tripleS member, Lee Ji-woo, as well as CLASS:y's Myung Hyung-seo and Kim Ri-won and RESCENE's Minami. [32]

She is often said to resemble DIA's Jung Chae-yeon and is said to share similar visuals, such as immaculate skin, delicate features, and an innocent image; netizens believed that their features look so much alike that they could be sisters.[36] Due to her ending fairy on My Teenage Girl, viewers said it gave a similar feel to Jung Chae-yeon's ending fairy during Produce 101. [35]

At the time, she was also continuously ranked high in the most searched hot topic among non-drama television show topics.[37][38][39]

Since her debut in tripleS, she has been named as a "true growth character" as her singing and dancing skills were different and improved from before.[40]

In June 2024, Kim entered the Girl group individual brand reputation results for the first time, resulting in 51st place. [41]

Influence

Shortly after her reveal as a tripleS member, she gained attention online for her confident response to netizens concerns about her decision of taking absence from a prestigious university to become a K-pop idol. [42] When asked "isn't it a waste?", she confidently responded that she doesn't have any regrets, even if she dropped out she is confident enough that she can pass the CSAT again. She gained praise from netizens for her optimistic response.[43]

Park So-hyun, member of tripleS and the producer of it's sub-unit +(KR)ystal Eyes debut b-side track "Deja-vu" stated the lyric "니 꿈 속 안을 유영해" was written because she was thinking of Yoo-yeon. [a] [44]

On June 28 2024, Kim was chosen by Forbes Korea 'Idol Pick' for 'Which model student celebrity would have been the student council president?'. Due to this, she had a special article written in Forbes Korea July 2024 issue and was stated to be a role model to teenage fans. [45]
