Kim Na Young

  • Name: Kim Na Young
  • Native name: 김나영
  • Given name: Kim Na Young
  • Also Known as: Nayoung, Kim Na Yeong
  • Nationality: South Korean

Kim Na Young is a South Korean singer, dancer, musical and stage actress, and former member of GUGUDAN (구구단). She graduated from Kyungbok Girls' High School and later obtained an associate's degree in Applied Music from Baekseok Arts University.

She made her debut in June 2016 as GUGUDAN's lead vocalist, rapper and visual with their first mini-album, "Act 1. The Little Mermaid". After some initial success, the group began struggling to find promotional activities, and new releases were not as frequent. Jellyfish Entertainment (젤리피쉬엔터테인먼트) decided to put the full group on hiatus in 2018.

In November 2016, she was allowed to participate in a special group called SUNNY GIRLS (써니걸스) that was part of the Inkigayo Music Crush project, debuting with the single "Taxi". The project ended the following month.

In June 2018, she joined a newly created sub-unit called GUGUDAN SEMINA (구구단 세미나) and released their first self-titled single album. This sub-unit was created to hide the fact that the full group remained on a prolonged hiatus.

In 2019, she made her debut as a musical actress with a role in "Mephisto".

In December 2020, after two years of no activity, Jellyfish announced that GUGUDAN had officially disbanded.

After leaving Jellyfish, she joined Goodman Story Entertainment (굿맨스토리) and now remains as an actress in musicals and stage plays.
