Cao Lu

  • Name: Cao Lu
  • Native name: 曹璐
  • Also Known as: 차오루, Lu Lu, Seo Lu
  • Nationality: Chinese
  • Gender: Female
  • Born: August 30, 1987
  • Age: 37
Cao Lu is a Chinese singer, dancer, actress, TV personality and member of FIESTAR (피에스타). She graduated from Chung-Ang University College of Arts with a bachelor's degree in Theater.

She made her debut in China under the stage name Lu Lu in 2004 with the release of her first EP, "Cat". She then moved to South Korea to become a K-pop star, and she became a trainee under Kakao M (카카오M, formerly known as LOEN Entertainment).

She debuted as a member of FIESTAR in August 2012 as the lead dancer, vocalist and face of the group with their first single album, "Vista". The group had released a pre-debut single with labelmate IU titled "Sea of Moonlight". The track was a commercial success but, unfortunately, that trend did not carry over after their debut as the group struggled to promote.

In 2018, the agency announced 4 members would not renew their expiring contracts and, as a result, the group disbanded. Later that year, she signed with I OK Entertainment, but her TV appearances in South Korea decreased sharply, and by early 2020, her social media accounts only had pictures of her in China.

In 2023, she returned to broadcasts in South Korea, appearing in an episode of "King of Mask Singer". There, she revealed she went back to China for several years to care for her elderly parents and had to wait for her Korean visa to be processed, which had delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and also had to deal with the strict travel restrictions that China implemented during this time.

In August 2024, she revealed the group had been reformed. She financed the reunion thanks to her earnings as a streamer in China and also bought the rights to one of their most popular singles, "You're Pitiful". They re-debuted as an independent group but are looking for an agency and a manager.
