About Yeseo
Background
Yeseo (예서), born Kang Yeseo (강예서) on August 22, 2005, is a South Korean singer, dancer and actress best known as a former member of the K-pop girl groups Kep1er (케플러), Busters (버스터즈) and MADEIN (메이딘). Born in Incheon, South Korea, Yeseo began working in entertainment as a young child, appearing in television dramas and films before pursuing an idol career. Her early acting credits include Golden Fish (2010), Brain (2011) and the popular film Miracle in Cell No. 7 (2013). She also performed with the children's group CutieL before joining Busters in 2019. Her extensive experience in entertainment distinguished her from many aspiring idols of her generation.
Yeseo gained wider recognition in 2021 through Mnet's survival competition Girls Planet 999. Representing the Korean contestant group, she impressed viewers with her expressive dancing, acting ability and performances of songs including "Crazy," "FIESTA," "Fate" and "Utopia." She ultimately finished in sixth place, earning a position in Kep1er's nine-member debut lineup. Yeseo officially debuted with Kep1er on January 3, 2022, through the mini album FIRST IMPACT and its title track "WA DA DA." As the group's youngest member, she became known for her bright personality, graceful dancing and expressive stage presence. After leaving Kep1er in July 2024, she debuted with MADEIN alongside fellow former Kep1er member Mashiro in September 2024. In December 2025, 143 Entertainment announced that Yeseo had suspended her activities with MADEIN. Subsequent reporting has described her as having departed the group, although the agency's publicly reported statement at the time described a suspension rather than providing detailed terms of a departure.
