Kan Mi Youn

  • Name: Kan Mi Youn
  • Native name: 간미연
  • Also Known as: 简美妍, Gan Mi Yeon, Kan Mi Yeon
  • Nationality: South Korean
  • Gender: Female
  • Born: February 2, 1982
  • Age: 44
Kan Mi Youn is a South Korean singer, dancer, actress, entrepreneur, and former member of BABY V.O.X (베이비복스). She graduated from Seongdeok High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Multimedia Visual Arts from Kyunggi University.

She made her debut in October 1997 when she joined as BABY V.O.X's new main vocalist and visual with their first album, "Equalizeher". The group had debuted 3 months earlier, but original member Cha Yu Mi was injured during the promotional period of their album, so she decided to leave the group, and she was brought in to replace her. She re-recorded all the songs.

As the album was not successful, DR Music (DR뮤직) decided they should adopt a more modest and cute style, used by other girl groups like S.E.S and FIN.K.L. starting with the next one. This made them one of the most influential groups of South Korea's first wave of Pop music.

The group went on hiatus in mid-2004, and by early 2005, they stopped promoting completely. They officially disbanded in February 2006.

In September 2006, she made her debut as a solo artist with the album, "Refreshing" and she decided to learn Mandarin to enter the Chinese market. She returned to South Korea after 3 years, released a single with MBLAQ's Mir, and launched her own clothing brand, Kanderella.

In November 2024, it was announced that BABY V.O.X would reunite for a special appearance at the 2024 KBS Song Festival, and they performed the following month.

She is currently an independent artist.
