Im Na Young is a South Korean singer, dancer, actress, and former member of I.O.I (아이오아이) and PRISTIN (프리스틴). She graduated from Muhak Girls' High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Broadcasting Entertainment from Dongduk Women's University.

In January 2016, she participated in the survival show "Produce 101", where she finished in 10th place, thus securing a spot in the show's project group.

She debuted in May 2016 as I.O.I's leader, main rapper, lead dancer and vocalist with their first EP, "Chrysalis", and actively promoted as a whole group and as separate sub-units for less than a year before YMC Entertainment (YMC엔터테인먼트) and Swing Entertainment (스윙엔터테인먼트) announced their disbandment in January 2017.

She returned to her agency and re-debuted in March 2017 as PRISTIN's leader, main dancer, lead rapper and vocalist with their first EP, "Hi! Pristin". At first, the group enjoyed moderate success and were well known for writing and composing their own songs. However, Pledis Entertainment (플레디스 엔터테인먼트) has a history of mismanaging girl groups, and they could not promote as much after their debut EP.

In May 2018, she joined a newly created sub-unit called PRISTIN V (프리스틴 V) and released their first single album, "Like A V". This sub-unit was created to hide the fact that the full group remained on a prolonged hiatus.

In May 2019, after one and a half years of no activity, Pledis announced that PRISTIN had officially disbanded, and she decided to become an actress after leaving the agency.

She made her acting debut in July 2020 with a role in the tvN drama "Flower of Evil" and has continued to appear in several dramas since then. She is represented by Mask Studio (마스크스튜디오).
