Kim Ye Won, known professionally as Umji, is a South Korean singer, dancer, former member of GFRIEND (여자친구) and current member of VIVIZ (비비지). She graduated from Seoul Performing Arts High School. Her father is the CEO of Moa Dentist Group.

She made her debut in January 2015 as GFRIEND's vocalist and maknae with their first EP, "Season of Glass". They were originally managed by Source Music (쏘스뮤직) and immediately won several female rookie awards, garnering momentum early on despite being from a small company.

In July 2019, Source was acquired by HYBE Corporation (하이브) and became part of their labels. They decided to continue managing the group as it had commercial success.

However, in May 2021, all 6 members decided not to renew their contracts and left the agency. As a result, HYBE released a statement announcing the group's disbandment.

In October 2021, she signed with Big Planet Made Entertainment (빅플래닛메이드엔터) and re-debuted in February 2022 as VIVIZ's lead dancer, vocalist and maknae with their first EP, "Beam of Prism".

In September 2024, it was confirmed that GFRIEND was reuniting to celebrate their 10th anniversary. They released the project album "Season of Memories" and had several concerts and presentations on music shows. After the promotional period ends, it is expected that she will return to her activities as part of VIVIZ.
