About
Short bio
An Yu Jin (안유진) is a South Korean singer, actress, and leader of IVE under Starship Entertainment. Learn about her age, birthday, height, MBTI, blood type, IZ*ONE career, IVE debut, acting projects, fun facts, and more.
Background
An Yujin's path to becoming one of K-pop's most recognized faces is honestly one of the best origin stories in the industry. Born on September 1, 2003 in Daejeon, South Korea, she spent her early years as a regular kid who was more interested in sports and jump rope competitions than the spotlight. It was actually attending the 2017 Melon Music Awards that changed everything. She watched idols perform live and knew immediately that was what she wanted to do.
She signed with Starship Entertainment in December 2016 while still in 8th grade and hit the ground running. Less than two years into training, she was thrown into the deep end competing on Produce 48 against 96 girls — and ranked 5th. She debuted with the project group IZONE at just 15 years old, already holding her own as lead vocalist and lead dancer. When IZONE disbanded in 2021, she returned to Starship and was named the very first revealed member of a new girl group called IVE. They debuted on December 1, 2021 with ELEVEN and have not slowed down since.

Why Fans Love An Yujin
Fans cannot get enough of Yujin's personality, and honestly it's easy to see why. She is naturally funny and chaotic in the best way. Her variety show moments have taken on a life of their own and she never fails to make everyone around her laugh.
But don't let her goofy side fool you. Yujin is a deeply committed leader who is fiercely protective of her members and takes her role in IVE seriously. She has this rare ability to be the loudest one in the room and still be the one everyone looks to when it matters.
Her fans, called MINE, love her because she feels genuinely real — no polished idol act, just her authentic self showing up every single time. That authenticity has earned her the Female Variety Idol award three years in a row and a Baeksang Arts Award nomination, which is practically unheard of for a K-pop idol. She is talented, she is funny, and she is the real deal.
