Lee Ka Eun is a South Korean singer, dancer, actress, and former member of AFTER SCHOOL (애프터스쿨). She graduated from Seoul Broadcasting High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Broadcasting Entertainment from Dongduk Women's University.

Before debuting, she lived in Japan. She then moved back to South Korea to pursue a career as a singer. She was first revealed to the public in April 2012 with a stage performance of the single “Let’s Do It” and the Japanese version of “Bang!”.

She made her official debut in June 2012 as AFTER SCHOOL's new lead dancer, vocalist, rapper and maknae with their fifth single album, "Flashback", which marked the group's attempt to return to their original concept. They debuted in January 2009, but as part of the agency's concept of having "admissions and graduations" and allowing the members to join or leave in a natural way, Pledis Entertainment (플레디스 엔터테인먼트) decided to add her as a new member.

In late 2015, Pledis halted all promotions and activities, a move that was severely criticized by the public and that began a long history of the company mismanaging girl groups. AFTER SCHOOL never released any new material again, and in July 2019, her contract expired. As the group had been inactive for the past 4 years, it officially disbanded in December 2019.

In June 2018, she entered the survival show "Produce 48". Despite never leaving the top 12 during the show's run and ranking 1st for more weeks than any other contestant, she ended up in 14th place during the final episode. This meant she could not be part of the resulting project group (IZ*ONE). After a lawsuit against Mnet and the show's producers, it was later revealed that she had actually placed 5th, qualifying for the group, but was artificially removed due to the voting manipulation scandal.

She is currently represented by High Entertainment (높은엔터테인먼트) and promotes as an actress.
