Profile
KIM NAMJOO is a vocalist and dancer of Apink whose solo work presents an assertive, dance-focused stage identity. After debuting with Apink in 2011, she gradually expanded her activities into musicals, variety and independently credited music.
Her individual single album “Bird” was released in September 2020, followed by her second single album “BAD” in March 2024. The bold brass arrangements of “BAD” and its performance-driven music video contrast with Apink’s group releases. She also wrote the lyrics of Apink’s fourteenth-anniversary single “Tap Clap” in 2025; songwriting for a group single remains a group credit.
Namjoo’s personal recording career began with the solo single album Bird in September 2020. Her second solo single album BAD followed in March 2024 and emphasized her performance-driven musical direction. She has also participated in musical theatre and entertainment programs. Her lyrics for Apink’s Tap Clap remain a group-song credit.
