Kim Yeon Kuk is a South Korea singer, dancer and former member of NOIR (느와르). Before debuting, he spent 3 years as a trainee.

He made his debut in April 2018 as the group's lead dancer and vocalist with their first mini-album, "Twenty's Noir". However, LUK Factory (럭팩토리; formerly known as IONE Entertainment) mishandled the group's management, which led to several arguments with the members.

Some members accused their agency of violating their contract terms and failing to support them. In July 2022, their contracts were terminated, and 6 members (he was not involved) filed a lawsuit against LUK Factory. It was never announced, but it is assumed NOIR quietly disbanded in mid-2023. On May 2, 2024, it was revealed the 6 members won the lawsuit, but the agency has decided to sue them for damage compensation.

He appears to be out of the entertainment industry.
