BIOGRAPHY
Ning Yi-Zhuo relocated from Harbin, China to Seoul as a teenager to train at SM Entertainment. When aespa debuted in 2020, she was 18 — making her debut the youngest of her generation of SM artists at the time. Her voice is the widest in aespa's range, capable of both delicate, floating high notes and rich lower harmonies that give the group's sound its depth. She has become a cultural bridge figure connecting aespa's work with mainland Chinese audiences.
Chinese cuisine (she cooks and frequently documents her meals), illustration and drawing, and an enthusiasm for culinary travel.
