ABOUT YEJI

YEJI is the leader of the K-Pop girl group ITZY . Her official positions are: main dancer, lead vocalist, and sub-rapper.She is called one of the all-rounder ace idols in her generation with excellent talents in dancing, singing, rapping, performance, live, etc. Her dancing and live performance skills were appraised highly just for her debut stage, where she appeared to have been an experienced idol instead of a rookie. Such assessment elevated her along the ranks of her seniors in the industry early on in her career.YEJI's skills were also highly appraised even before her formal debut, which earned her the nickname "JYP's Secret Weapon" when she participated in the talent show "The Fan" in 2018 and competed against aspiring singers and next future stars.She passed the local audition and joined JYPE in 2016, and was admired by fellow trainees for her exceptional dancing. YEJI debuted with ITZY in February 2019 after 3 years of training.

YEJI'S UNIQUE VISUAL

YEJI's visual is described as cat-like, and at times like a wolf cat or a fox, due to her sharp eyes, nose, and jawline which gives off a 'cold beauty' image when void of expressions, however her bright and gentle personality 'like a baby cat' is revealed whenever she smiles or laughs. These contrasting images, called "gap" by fans, greatly attracts people to YEJI. K-Media also often call her a 'charming cat', with Dispatch naming her as the 'Cat of Truth', which means the most cat-like out of all the cat-like visuals in K-Pop.However, despite being a 'unique beauty' and photogenic, it is frequently mentioned that YEJI is exceptionally stunning in person and that no pictures have truly captured her beautiful facial features. Even appearing on electronic big screens leaves the audience in awe, as witnessed in concerts halls and festival performances.Photos might not fully give her beauty justice, but we can still indulge with YEJI's candid, pretty, and charismatic pictures through official releases and magazine photoshoots.

YEJI: TOP-TIER PERFORMER

Powerful dance, stable live vocals, overwhelming stage presence, and extensive facial and body expressions? YEJI got it all covered.With her pre-debut background in a dance crew and dance competitions, YEJI is equipped with various dance skills. Although hip-hop is her favorite genre, YEJI demonstrates a high-level versatility as a performer which enables her to digest any genre/concept, be it a solo, unit, or group performances.YEJI's first official solo dance cover on Studio Choom's AOTM, 'River', boasts over 60 million views, the highest number of views for a solo performance in her generation and is called a "legendary performance" by the studio.In addition to dancing, YEJI is known for being a stable vocalist. Her recent performance at Lee Mujin Service, a talk + live singing show, further cemented her reputation as a fully hexagon (all-rounder) idol.
