Euna Kim (Korean: 유나킴; born October 27, 1994), is a Korean American singer and rapper based in South Korea.[1] She appeared as a contestant on the South Korean survival reality shows Superstar K 3 (2011), Unpretty Rapstar 3 (2016), and The Unit (2017).[2]
Career
Kim began her singing career in 2011 as a contestant on the television talent show Superstar K 3, after which she joined YG Entertainment.[3] She was meant to debut as a member of a new girl group, but she left the label in 2013 before debuting.[4]
Kim made her solo debut in 2014 with the single "Love Me Love" featuring Yoon Mi-rae, Tiger JK, and Bizzy.[5] In 2015, she joined the short-lived girl group The Ark.[1]
In 2016, Kim participated in the rap competition show Unpretty Rapstar 3. Later that year, she signed with Maroo Entertainment.[6] In 2017, she competed in the survival reality show The Unit, finishing in 10th place. In 2018, Kim and former The Ark member Jeon Min-ju formed the duo KHAN and released the single, "I'm Your Girl?".[7] The duo also participated in Season 1 of Vocal Play.
Since 2017, Kim has also been doing missionary work with Souls West ministry in the United States, predominately in the Yuma/Prescott, Arizona area.[8]
Although Maroo had quietly removed KHAN from the artist section on their official site in December 2019, Kim did not confirm the duo's disbandment until March 2020, in a response to a comment on her personal Instagram.[9]
