Kim Ji On is a South Korean singer, dancer, and former member of LE QUATTRO (르콰트로), NEWUS (뉴어스), and N.TIC (엔티크).

In November 2009, LE QUATTRO released the pre-debut digital single "Hello, Merry Christmas". His official debut (using the stage name RA-F) came in February 2010 as the group's vocalist and synthesizer. However, Ogam Entertainment (오감엔터테인먼트) faced financial issues, and they disbanded soon after promotions for their debut material ended.

He switched agencies and signed with Starcubic Entertainment (스타큐빅엔터테인먼트). He re-debuted in November 2012 as NEWUS's leader, vocalist and dancer with their first single, "Right Now". The group was formed in February but kept facing lineup changes even before debuting. The agency was never able to provide any kind of stability, and he decided to leave in late 2013. The group ended up disbanding in 2015.

In January 2016, he joined Yechan Media (예찬미디어) and the agency's newly formed group called J-PEACE. They promoted at festivals and special events in South Korea, China and Japan. However, several lineup changes and delayed debut dates kept frustrating the members. In September 2017, the group's name was changed to NEW-ACE, but it was changed again in December of that year.

He finally re-debuted in February 2018 as N.TIC's leader and main vocalist with their first single, "Once Again". They had a modest fanbase and some success, so they were able to go on a European tour in July 2019. But, members began enlisting in the military by November of that year and N.TIC went on an indefinite hiatus. Their contracts with Yechan Media have already ended, and despite not having an official statement, it is assumed they have disbanded.

He worked as a broadcasting jockey (BJ) for a while, but he is now out of the entertainment industry. He owns a whiskey bar and is also the director of a beauty academy.
