Kim Hye Mi, also known professionally as Yel (옐), is a South Korean singer, dancer, and member of FIESTAR (피에스타). She graduated from Hyewon Girls' High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Economics from Kyunggi University. She made her debut in August 2012 as the group's lead vocalist with the single album "Vista".

The group had released a pre-debut song with labelmate IU titled "Sea of Moonlight". However, the group faced mixed reviews in their following releases and, in May 2018, Kakao M (카카오M, formerly known as LOEN Entertainment) announced that 4 members decided not to renew their contracts and, as a result, FIESTAR disbanded. A few weeks later, she made her debut as a solo artist with the single "Lucid Dream", under the stage name Yel.

In August 2024, Cao Lu revealed the group had been reformed after she financed the reunion thanks to her earnings as a streamer in China. They re-debuted as an independent group but are looking for an agency and a manager.
