Kim Hyo Seok, known professionally as Aki, is a South Korean singer, dancer and former member of LEDAPPLE (레드애플; stylized as LEDApple and later known as LEDT). He graduated from Seoul Performing Arts High School and is the second son of MBC comedian and broadcasting manager Kim Eun Woo.

He made his debut in June 2011 when he joined the group as their new rapper and drummer with the mini-album "Who Are You?". The group debuted in October 2010 but underwent several lineup changes almost immediately. He was added after 2 members decided to depart a few months earlier.

However, they faced controversy as the teaser for the album featured the members drinking alcohol in a club, and, at the time, all were still minors, so StarKim Entertainment (currently Kakao M) was criticized by the public, and the video was modified.

In 2012, he got a minor acting role in "Shut Up: Flower Boy Band"

LEDAPPLE was not very successful, and more changes were brought in by the agency, with members being replaced. He remained loyal to the band, and in 2015, it was announced that they would rebrand as LEDT (레드티) and perform as a trio.

The band finally disbanded in 2016, and he continued to pursue other activities, including his passion for golf and seems to have quit the entertainment industry completely.
