Chon Ting Yan, known professionally by her English name, Elkie, is a Hongkonger singer, dancer, actress and former member of HONEY BEES and CLC (short for CrystaL Clear). She graduated from Carmel Pak U Secondary School and was a child actor in Hong Kong featuring in several dramas and commercials. In 2011, she joined the group HONEY BEES but she saw that time as practice as they were more like a crew training at an academy rather than actively promoting in Hong Kong. In 2015, she passed a global audition done by CUBE Entertainment and decided to become a trainee in South Korea as she was an avid fan of K-Pop. As a trainee, she appeared on BTOB‘s “I'll Be Your Man” MV before officially debuting in 2016 when she joined CLC as the lead vocalist, lead dancer and visual with their 3rd EP, "Refresh". Later that year, the group debuted in Japan with the EP "High Heels" and, in 2017, they changed their concept to a move hip-hop style. CLC continued to promote and release music until late 2020 when issues began with CUBE Entertainment and the group members' contracts. In December, she sent a notice to CUBE requesting the termination of her contract and accused the company of not paying her and stopping supporting the group's development. In February 2021, she officially left the group and the company after reaching an agreement. In May 2022, CUBE announced the group will be "discontinued" as they had no more activities for them. In 2023, fellow member Sorn announced on a Tik-Tok message that CLC had actually not disbanded, just on an indefinite hiatus and blamed CUBE Entertainment for allegedly not wanting to promote them, so the actual group status is not clear. She is currently back in mainland China continuing her career there.
