Yerin, born Jung Ye-rin on August 19, 1996, is a South Korean singer and actress who rose to fame as the lead vocalist and face of the girl group GFRIEND. Known for her powerful vocals and bright personality, she debuted with GFRIEND in 2015 under Source Music, where the group quickly became one of the most successful K-pop acts of the third generation with their signature innocent concept and synchronized choreography. Following GFRIEND's disbandment in May 2021, Yerin embarked on a solo career, signing with Sublime Artist Agency (now Bill Entertainment). She made her solo debut on May 18, 2022, with the mini-album 'Aria,' showcasing a more mature and sophisticated side while maintaining her vocal prowess. The title track demonstrated her versatility as an artist, moving away from GFRIEND's signature sound to explore new musical territories. Beyond music, Yerin has established herself as a variety show personality, appearing on numerous programs including 'Law of the Jungle' and 'Running Man.' Her natural charisma and humor have made her a beloved figure in Korean entertainment. She continues to evolve as a solo artist while maintaining the strong fanbase she built during her GFRIEND years, proving her ability to succeed independently in the competitive K-pop industry.
