Kim Min Kyung, formerly known as Roa, is a South Korean singer, dancer, actress and former member of PRISTIN (프리스틴) and HINAPIA (희나피아). She graduated from Korea Arts High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Broadcasting Entertainment from Dongduk Women's University.

She made her debut in March 2017 (under the stage name Roa) as PRISTIN's sub-leader, lead vocalist and visual with their first EP, "Hi! Pristin". At first, the group enjoyed moderate success and were well known for writing and composing their own songs. However, Pledis Entertainment (플레디스 엔터테인먼트) has a history of mismanaging girl groups and could not promote as much after their debut EP.

In May 2018, she joined a newly created sub-unit called PRISTIN V (프리스틴 V) and released their first single album, "Like A V". This sub-unit was created to hide the fact that the full group remained on a prolonged hiatus.

In May 2019, and after one and a half years of no activity, Pledis announced that PRISTIN had officially disbanded.

She switched agencies and joined OSR Entertainment (OSR엔터테인먼트). She re-debuted in November 2019 (under his real name) as HINAPIA's leader, lead vocalist, lead dancer and visual with their single album, "First Start".

In August 2020, only 9 months after debuting and not having released anything new, HINAPIA disbanded.

In October 2022, she signed with KPLUS (케이플러스) to begin her acting career.
