Kim Do Young is a South Korean singer, dancer, and member of TREASURE (트레저). He graduated from Apgujeong High School.

There were rumors about a possible new group being planned by YG Entertainment (YG 엔터테인먼트), and the agency began scouting several candidates. However, instead of having them debut immediately, they created a new survival competition, "YG Treasure Box", in order to have them ready to debut. The original plan was to have a 13-member group (called TREASURE 13) but split up into two separate lineups, TREASURE and MAGNUM. He was ultimately chosen as part of the 6-member lineup MAGNUM. But, in early 2019, Ha Yoon Bin decided to leave in order to pursue a career as a solo artist, so the plans changed and both lineups were merged into the final 12-member product, keeping the name TREASURE.

He made his debut in August 2020 as the group's main dancer and vocalist with their first single album, "The First Step: Chapter One". The album reached the #1 spot on the Circle Album Chart (formerly known as Gaon Album Chart), and was certified platinum by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA), becoming their first-ever certification. They were labeled as the "fastest-growing K-pop act in the world" by X (formerly Twitter), and they were the only South Korean male group to be included in the Forbes Korea Power Celebrity 40 (Rising Star) ranking (that also included girl groups AESPA and STAYC).

In June 2023, he became part of the group's first sub-unit, T5 (티파이브), debuting with the single "Move", which was included in the group's album, "Reboot".
