Chon Ting Yan, known professionally by her English name Elkie Chong, is a Hong Kong singer, dancer, actress and former member of HONEY BEES and CLC (씨엘씨). She graduated from Carmel Pak U Secondary School and was a child actor in Hong Kong, being featured in several dramas and commercials.

In 2011, she joined the group HONEY BEES, but she saw that time as practice as they were more like a crew training at an academy rather than actively promoting in Hong Kong.

In 2015, she passed a global audition done by CUBE Entertainment and decided to become a trainee in South Korea as she was an avid fan of K-pop. She made her debut in February 2016 when she joined CLC as the new lead vocalist, lead dancer and visual with their third EP, "Refresh". Later that year, the group debuted in Japan with the EP "High Heels" and, in 2017, they changed their concept to a more hip-hop oriented.

They continued to promote and release music until late 2020, when issues began with CUBE Entertainment (큐브엔터테인먼트) and their contracts. In December of that year, she sent a notice to CUBE requesting the termination of her contract and accused the company of not paying her and stopping supporting the group's development.

In February 2021, she officially left the group and the company after reaching an agreement. In May 2022, CUBE announced the group would be "discontinued" as they had no more activities for them. In 2023, fellow member Sorn announced on a Tik-Tok message that CLC had actually not disbanded, just on an indefinite hiatus and blamed CUBE Entertainment for allegedly not wanting to promote them, so the actual group status is not clear.

She is currently back in mainland China, continuing her career there, and is represented by Avex China Inc.
