Kim Yoon-ji (English name: Christine Kim; Hangul: 김윤지) is a Korean-American singer and actress in South Korea. She performs under the stage name NS Yoon-G (Hangul: NS윤지) and debuted in 2009 with the digital single "Head Hurts" under JTM Entertainment.[1][2] She is now with VAST Entertainment. The "NS" in her name initially stood for "New Spirit", but was later changed to "New Star". Kim used her Korean name as a part of her stage name as she found "Christine" too difficult for Korean people to pronounce.[3]

Early life[]

Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea on September 6, 1988 and moved to the San Fernando Valley in California in the 4th grade. She entered UCLA, majoring in Dance and Communication, but took a leave of absence after a year to pursue her career in entertainment in South Korea. After initially joining DSP Media as a trainee, she debuted with JTM Entertainment with a single "Head Hurts".[citation needed]

On November 1, 2012, Kim released a digital single, "If You Love Me" featuring Jay Park, and released an official music video and a behind the scenes making film. Kim performed her single on Korean music shows such as KBS' Music Bank, Mnet's M! Countdown, MBC's Music Core and SBS' Inkigayo, alongside Jay Park who was occasionally replaced by Dalmatian's Simon.

Also in November 2012, Kim became the host of K-pop Tasty Road with U-KISS's Eli Kim, which combined the Korean Wave and food into one show.[5][6]

In January 2013, Kim performed in Ho Chi Minh City alongside Adam Lambert and Aurea.[7]
