Kim Yu-gyeom (Korean: 김유겸; born November 17, 1997)[1], commonly known by his stage name Yugyeom (Korean: 유겸), is a South Korean singer and dancer who debuted as a member of Got7 in 2014[2][3] and one half of its duo sub-unit Jus2.[4]

Early life[edit]

Despite being born in Seoul, Kim has spent a little of his childhood in Saudi Arabia due to his dad's job.[5] The family later moved to Yeosu[6] and then Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, where he grew up alongside his older brother.[7] In February 2016, he graduated from Hanlim Multi Art School[1] and enrolled into Daekyeung University's Model Department. His mom initially didn't want him to become an idol and wanted him to be a normal student like everyone else, but he insisted to give him a chance.

He started dreaming of becoming a singer and a dancer watching performances of Big Bang and J.Y. Park when he was little.[8][9] He was especially interested in dance,[10] and started dancing when he was 14, joining the Body & Soul crew:[11] with them, in 2010, he won second place at the national competition Adrenaline House Dance Battle.[12] While attending the first year of middle school, he took part in the Hidden Performing Arts Tournament, where he danced to Beast's "Shock".[10] His older brother filmed the performance and posted it to Cyworld, where the footage caught the attention of Kim's cousin, a dance teacher, who invited him to join her dance school.[10][13] Another teacher at that school was a dance instructor for JYP Entertainment, and this led him to an audition for the label.[10][14] He became a trainee in late 2010-early 2011.

Career[edit]

2013-2020: Debut and solo activities[edit]

Trained under JYP Entertainment, he appeared on the 2013 Mnet reality-survival program WIN: Who Is Next, alongside fellow co-members Mark Tuan, Jackson Wang, Bambam of Got7 and label mates Young K, Jae Park, Wonpil, Sungjin, Junhyeok (formerly) of Day6 pre debut, competing against YG Entertainment trainees, who later debuted respectively as Winner and iKon members.[15][16][17]

On January 16, 2014, Kim debuted with K-pop boy group Got7 with the first EP Got It?.[18][19][20] In 2015, JYP Entertainment in partnership with Youku Tudou, released a mini web drama series titled Dream Knight in which the drama featured the Got7 members as themselves. Over the years, he also took part in creating choreographies for "If You Do" from their EP Mad,[21] and for "Poison" from their EP Dye.[22]

In 2016, he participated in Mnet's Hit the Stage, a dance survival show which idols from different K-pop groups team up with professional dance teams to compete with others, appearing in episodes 9 and 10. He ranked second in episode 9 and won first place during the final.[23][24] The same year, Kim began taking part in writing and composing Got7's songs, debuting as a songwriter with "See The Light" (빛이나) for their Flight Log: Departure album.[25] He co-hosted The Show on April 5[26][27] and The Show SBS Super Concert in Busan on October 18, 2016.[28]

In April 2018, together with fellow member Jay B, he participated in the art collaboration project "Collaboran" for carbonated mineral water brand Perrier with American multimedia artist Ben Jones. The art collaboration was unveiled at a launching event on April 22, 2018, at Nakwon Musical Instrument Arcade.[29] With Got7's third full length studio album Present: You, Kim released his solo song "Fine". The accompanying music video was disclosed on September 12, 2018.[30] In February 2019, he joined the SBS reality show Law of The Jungle in Northern Mariana Islands for four episodes.[31][32]. On March 5, 2019, he debuted as one half of the K-pop duo Jus2 alongside Jay B, as the second sub-unit of Got7, with the mini album Focus.[33][34]

In 2020, he made his solo magazine cover debut on the global art fashion magazine Maps in a double cover edition for February issue.[35][36][37] In May 2020, he appeared on MBC's singing competition show King of Mask Singer as "Mr. Raspberry Wine", on episode 257.[38][39]

2021-present: Departure from JYPE and solo activities[edit]

In January 2021, Kim, along with the other group members, parted ways with JYP Entertainment though remaining as Got7. Rumors soon followed that Kim would join AOMG.[40][41] It was then confirmed on February 19 that Kim had officially signed an exclusive contract with AOMG.[42] His dance visual video of "Franchise" by Travis Scott featuring Young Thug and M.I.A. came with the announcement.[42] Kim featured in an interview and pictorial for the March issue of Elle Korea.[43]

On June 3, it was announced that Kim would make a mid-June comeback, his first release as an AOMG artist which also features fellow label mate, Gray.[44][45][46] The date of the release was announced to be June 11 and 17.[47][48] Kim will release a 7-track extended play titled Point of View: U, for which he collaborated with hip-hop artists DeVita, Loco, Gray, Jay Park and Punchnello.[49] Gray produced five of the songs, while Cha Cha Malone two.[50] "I Want U Around" featuring DeVita would be the pre-release single and was accompanied by a music video.[51][52] A music video for "네 잘못이야 (All Your Fault)" was also released on June 17 featuring Gray.[53]

Kim featured in the July issue of Marie Claire.[54]
