Yoon Chae Kyung is a South Korean singer, dancer, actress and former member of PURETTY (퓨리티), C.I.V.A (씨아이브이에이) and I.B.I (아이비아이) and APRIL (에이프릴). She graduated from Hanlim Entertainment Arts High School and is enrolled in the Acting program at Sungshin Women's University.

She made her debut in Japan in September 2012 as PURETTY's vocalist, dancer and visual with their first single, "Cheki Love", used as the theme song for the anime "Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future". The group was managed by DSP Media (DSP미디어), but their debut was not very successful, and the agency decided to first delay and later postpone their South Korean debut. PURETTY ended up disbanding in January 2014 without ever debuting in South Korea.

She participated in the Mnet show "The God of Music 2" and debuted in July 2016 as a member of the resulting project group, C.I.V.A, with a remake of Diva's "Why?". This was their only released material before disbanding.

In August 2016, she joined another project group, I.B.I, that was made of eliminated trainees from season 1 of "Produce 101". They released the digital single "Molae Molae" and were managed by Kakao M (카카오M, formerly known as LOEN Entertainment). They disbanded by the end of 2016.

She re-debuted in November 2016 when she joined as APRIL's new leader and vocalist. The group debuted in August 2015 but faced several lineup changes from the beginning, and she replaced Jun So Min and Lee Hyun Joo, who left in the months prior. She was included in the group's third mini-album, "Prelude", released in January 2017.

However, the group went on hiatus in January 2021 when a person claiming to be Lee Hyun Joo's brother posted several accusations against APRIL members (not including her), saying his sister's departure from the group was due to being severely bullied by them, at one point even attempting suicide. DSP Media (DSP미디어) immediately denied the accusations and promised to take legal action against the Lee siblings. However, the group faced heavy backlash and began losing scheduled events, endorsement deals and even acting roles. They officially announced their disbandment in April 2022.

She became an actress and made her acting debut with a role in the MBC web drama "Time to Be Together 1:11". She was represented by Management AM9 (매니지먼트 에이엠나인).

She is now managed by PA Entertainment.
