Kim Ye Won

  • Name: Kim Ye Won
  • Native name: 김예원
  • Nationality: South Korean
  • Gender: Female
  • Born: December 5, 1989
  • Age: 35
Kim Ye Won is a South Korean singer, dancer, actress, and former member of JEWELRY (쥬얼리). She graduated from Pungdeok High School and later obtained an associate's degree in Practical Music from Myongji College.

She made her debut in January 2011 when she joined as JEWELRY's new lead dancer, vocalist and face of the group with the digital single "Back It Up". JEWELRY debuted in March 2001; however, Star Empire (스타제국) decided to make lineup changes as soon as the promotional period for their first album ended. The agency was never able to provide stability for the group as their concept kept changing radically from album to album. In December 2009, two members decided to leave, and she was brought in as a replacement in June 2010 and could not debut with new material until almost 7 months later.

In September 2011, she joined the group's first sub-unit, JEWELRY-S, with the release of their single album "Ames Room Vol. 2". The sub-unit debuted in January 2009 (with Baby-J and Kim Eun Jung), but once again, the agency made changes by including the two most recent members as well.

In January 2015, the agency announced the group's disbandment. She was part of JEWELRY's official fourth and final lineup and remained with Star Empire until her contract expired in November 2016.

She then began her career as an actress with roles in several dramas since late 2013 and has also appeared in several variety shows.

She is currently represented by ANDMARQ (앤드마크).
