Kim Yu Jin, better known by her stage name Uee or U-ie, (born April 9, 1988) is a South Korean idol singer and actress who is a vocalist, rapper and the main dancer of the girl group, After School. Uee's first appearance with the group was in 2009, after which she acted in various dramas including Queen Seon Duk.
Career
Uee was listed to appear with a girl group called Five Girls ("Oh So Nyuh" in Korean) which included the current Wonder Girls member Yubin, the current Secret member and leader Hyosung, the former T-ara member and current Spica member Yang Jiwon, and the current solo artist G.NA. However, the group disbanded before their scheduled debut in 2007 due to the financial troubles of their entertainment company (Good Entertainment, which included the group Shinhwa).
However, she reappeared on television as a guest in Introducing A Star's Friend as Wonder Girl's Yubin's friend. Because "Five Girls" was not known to many people, she was simply seen as a very pretty friend of Yubin who resembles Wonder Girls youngest member Sohee.
In April 2009, Uee joined the girl group After School with their single "Diva".[2]
In July, Uee was cast for MBC's historical drama, Queen Seon Duk which was well received[4] and won various awards.[5] In August, Uee appeared in Mighty Mouth's music video for "Love Class" with Hyuna from 4minute, after which she was cast for SBS's You're Beautiful playing Yoo He Yi. Later that month, she joined the group, 4Tomorrow, releasing the song, "Dugeunduguen Tomorrow" (Korean: "두근두근 Tomorrow", "BeatBeat Tomorrow") on October 6, 2009. The project was composed of Uee, Seung Yeon (Kara), Hyuna (4minute) and Gain (Brown Eyed Girls). She later joined the reality show, We Got Married and was paired with Park Jae Jung. In early February, Uee was cast for MBC's "chivalry" drama, Birdie Buddy (Korean: 버디버디).
Currently,[when?] she is co-hosting the show called Night After Night with Park Myung Soo, Tak Jae Hoon, Kim Jae Dong, Daesung from Big Bang and Jung Yong Hwa from C.N.Blue.
