Ko Young Yeol is a South Korean pansori singer and member of RABIDANCE (라비던스; stylized as RabidAnce). He graduated from Gwangju Arts High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Korean Traditional Music from Hanyang University.

As a child, his mother wanted him to become a professional swimmer, so she enrolled him in pansori lessons to increase his lung capacity. Instead, he discovered his talent in pansori and also set his goal to make traditional Korean music more widely heard and loved both inside the country and abroad.

He joined the singing survival show "Phantom Singer 3" to learn more about crossover music and form a crossover vocal group capable of a musical experiment. During the team mission, he joined 3 other singers and formed RABIDANCE, managing to finish in 2nd place behind the winners LA POEM.

They officially debuted in July 2021 with their first mini-album, "Prism".

They were represented by CREDIA Music & Artists, but in March 2022, they left the label and established their own called Neotrend Music (네오트렌드 뮤직) with him as the representative.
