YE SUNG ( kim jong woon )

Kim Jong-woon (Hangul: 김종운; Hanja: 金鍾雲; born August 24, 1984 in Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea) is a member of K-pop boy band Super Junior. Being amongst the most vocally powerful member in the group, he chose the stage name Yesung (Hangul: 예성; Hanja: 藝聲), which is translated to "Artful Voice."

Yesung made his first television appearance in 1999, however it wasn't until 2001 when he auditioned in the Starlight Casting System 2001 and officially became a trainee under the talent agency SM Entertainment

After four years of training on singing, acting, and dancing, Yesung officially debuted on November 6, 2005 as a member of Super Junior. The group performed the debut single "TWINS (Knock Out)" on SBS's Popular Songs.

Since September of 2006, Yesung had been a DJ for his own radio show, M.I.R.A.C.L.E for You, where members of Super Junior were often guests. However, before the radio show's first anniversary, Yesung had to end the program so he can further concentrate on his singing career. The last air date for the radio show was September 8, 2007.

Super Junior-K.R.Y is the first sub-unit from Super Junior formed in late 2006. The initials "K.R.Y" is from the formation of the first letter of the members' names: Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung. Being amongst the most vocally powerful members of Super Junior, K.R.Y are credit to singing mournful ballads, a style that has proven very popular in recent years although stagnation in the style's development is causing it to lose its once fresh evocative power.

K.R.Y's first official performance was on November 4, 2007 on KBS's Music Bank[2] and have been showing live performances only ever since[citation needed]. Unlike Super Junior's second sub-unit, Super Junior-T, K.R.Y has not released a single or album, and has only participated in collaboration albums and original soundtracks. It is not sure whether or not the trio will continue to do activities away from the mother group.
