Yoo Chae-yeong (Korean: 유채영; September 22, 1973 – July 24, 2014) was a South Korean singer, actress, and radio host.

Early life and education

[edit source]

Born as Kim Soo-jin, she made her entertainment debut at 17 years old as part of the group Punsudeul ("Idiots") in 1989, when she was still in high school.[1]

Career

[edit source]

In 1994, using the stage name Yoo Chae-yeong, she became one of the original members of the popular K-pop group Cool.[2] She initially attracted media attention for sporting a shaved head, which at the time was a bold hairstyle rarely seen on female South Korean celebrities.[1][3] Yoo left Cool a year later, going on to make up one half of the duo US in 1995.[4] She embarked on a solo singing career in 1996, and her hit song "Emotion" (released in 1999), contributed to the nationwide spread of techno music.[1]

As an actress, Yoo appeared in supporting roles in movies and television dramas, notably in the comedy film Sex Is Zero (2002) and its sequel Sex Is Zero 2 (2007). She was also a popular radio host on the MBC program Good Weekend, It's Kim Kyung-sik and Yoo Chae-yeong, known for her quick wit and self-deprecating humor.[1][3]

In 2009, after nearly a decade of absence from the music scene, she released a new single titled Another Decade.[3]

Death

[edit source]

Yoo was diagnosed with cancer in October 2013.[2][5] She died on July 24, 2014, of gastric cancer at the age of 40.[6][7]
