Lee Ji Yeon, known professionally as Lina, is a South Korean singer, dancer, musical actress, former member of ISAK N JIYEON (이삭 N 지연), and current member of THE GRACE (천상지희 더 그레이스). She obtained an associate's degree in Applied Music from Myongji College.

She made her debut in September 2002 as part of the duo ISAK N JIYEON with their first studio album, "Tell Me Baby". SM Entertainment (SM엔터테인먼트) wanted to create a female counterpart to FLY TO THE SKY, so it conducted several auditions and selected her to be part of the new duo. However, Isak decided to leave the company, and they disbanded in mid-2004.

She re-debuted in April 2005, using the stage name Lina, as THE GRACE's main vocalist and visual with their first single, "Too Good". The group was formed by SM as the female counterpart to TVXQ and managed to successfully debut in South Korea. Their performances were picked up by Japanese and Chinese TV stations, and they recorded all their singles in Japanese and Mandarin before officially debuting there in January and March 2006, respectively.

But, after successful tours around Asia and more releases in different languages, the group went on an indefinite hiatus in May 2010. Members Dana and Sunday performed as a sub-unit in 2011, but they have never performed as a whole group after that. They have never officially disbanded, but only she remains part of SM, and all members are now focused on their individual activities.

She married musical actor Jang Seung Jo in November 2014. The pair had been secretly dating since meeting in the musical "The Temptation of Wolves" back in 2011. They have two children.
