BIOGRAPHY
Kang Hae-rin became a trainee at ADOR in her early teens. She is the group's most visually distinctive presence — often described as having a 'cat-like' cool — and her minimalist, understated performance style contrasts sharply with more expressive K-pop conventions. Fans and critics noted her rare ability to hold attention without appearing to try.
Street photography (she carries a film camera off-duty), fashion observation, drawing in detail sketchbooks, and a quiet appreciation for architecture.
