Park Ji Young, better known by her stage name Kahi, is a South Korean singer and actress. She is best known for being the former leader of the girl group After School before her graduation in 2012.

Early Life

Kahi was born in a small village in Gangwon on December 25, 1980. She was raised by her grandparents. She did not find her passion for dancing until she was 16. She also became fascinated by the hip hop group Roo'ra at age 16, which motivated her to become a singer. However, due to her family's opposition and practical conditions, she could not get any professional training. In her high school years, she trained herself in singing and dancing. However, her father made her go to a university in a rural area. She obeyed at the beginning; however, eventually, she could no longer stand being a college student, and left her hometown to pursue her dream. She did not speak with her father for the next seven years. She went to Seoul alone and empty-handed. Then, one day a friend took her to an interview to be a backup dancer. She did well at the audition and got the job. She then started her dancing career at age 18.

Career

Dancing and S.Blush

In 2000, Kahi was chosen as the main dancer for DJ Doc's mega-hit, "Run to You", just three months after she entered. However, her instant success also brought her huge stress, and eventually forced her leave. To make a living, she worked many jobs such as working as a cleaner, waitress, and sales clerk for long period of time. Finally, a choreographer in SM Entertainment gave her a chance to become a temporary dancer for BoA. SM Entertainment liked her dancing, and she was kept as full-time dancer. Since then, she gradually gained fame in her field. Her cooperation with BoA lasted more than three years. Besides BoA, she was also a famous backup dancer for Country Kko Kko, JinuSean, 1TYM, Lexy, Chae Yeon, Eun Ji Won, and many others. She was also the dance teacher for Son Dam Bi, May Doni, and Kim Jung Ah, her former bandmate.

Around 2006, after more than five years career as a professional dancer, Kahi decided to debut as a dance-pop singer. She joined the Korean American girl group "S. Blush", whose first digital single peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot Dance Chart in May 2007. However, due to various reasons, the band soon disbanded.

2007-2012: After School and Acting

In late 2007, Kahi contacted some friends in the industry that she had known from her years as a dancer, who are now the staff of Pledis Entertainment. They planned for and produced the debut of the new group together. After years of work and selection of members, she debuted in January 2009 as the leader of After School. As After School underwent many member changes and image changes, Kahi remained the leader. Soon, After School debuted in Japan and shortly after in June 2012, it was announced that Kahi would officially graduate from After School in September.

Pledis Entertainment initially announced that the singer would release a solo album sometime in 2010, which started rumors of her leaving the group; however her management denied that she was leaving After School. However, the debut was delayed to February 2011. Meanwhile, Kahi joined the cast of reality-variety series Yeongunghogeol (영웅호걸, "Heroes"). She was later cast in Dream High 2 playing a teacher at Kirin Art School.

Solo Debut

The promotional campaign for Kahi's solo debut started in mid-February, with the album jacket photos released on February 9 and a teaser video on February 12. The album photos were noted for highlighting the singer's "S-line", while netizens and news articles commented on the contrasting "black vs. white" images and "charisma" in the teaser. The mini-album was then released on February 14, 2011. The music video for "Come Back, You Bad Person" was released on February 14, 2011 and Kahi began promotional activities on 18th.

2013: Who Are You?

In March 2013, Kahi was rumoured to be having a solo comeback, but it was put on hold. Over a year later from her last solo release, Pledis Entertainment announced on September 25, 2013 that Kahi would be releasing her second mini album, titled "Who Are You?", on October 10.
