Kim Ryeo Wook is a South Korean singer-songwriter, dancer, musical actor, and member of SUPER JUNIOR (슈퍼주니어). He graduated from Deokwon Arts High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Theater and Film and a master's degree in Cultural Management, both from Inha University.

He was recruited in 2004 when SM Entertainment (SM엔터테인먼트) scouted him after winning the CMB Youth ChinChin Festival. Lee Soo Man wanted to create a versatile group with members who had experience in different fields (acting, dancing, presenting, etc.). He based his idea on the Japanese girl group MORNING MOSUME (モーニング娘), who debuted in 1997 and established a successful rotation of their lineup since then. He called his new group, SUPER JUNIOR 05.

He made his debut in November 2005 as the group's main vocalist with their first single, “Twins (Knock Out)“, part of their debut album "Twins", which was released one month later. The idea of a rotational group was dropped when Cho Kyu Hyun was added to the lineup in 2006. Nonetheless, SUPER JUNIOR has become one of the most successful K-Pop representatives and their ability to excel in different areas of the entertainment industry forced a change in the way other companies prepared their trainees.

As part of SM's strategy to not limit the group's activities while certain members focused on their individual careers, several sub-groups have been created since 2006. He debuted in November 2006 as part of SUPER JUNIOR-K.R.Y (슈퍼주니어-K.R.Y) with their single "The One I Love", an OST for the MBC drama "Hyena". Then, in April 2008, he debuted as part of SUPER JUNIOR-M (슈퍼주니어-M), focused solely on the Chinese market, in April 2008 with the single "U".

He enlisted for his mandatory service on October 11, 2016, and was discharged on July 10, 2018. After serving, he has been more involved in other areas, such as musical theater.

He made his debut as a solo artist in January 2016 with the EP "The Little Prince".

In May 2024, he married former TAHITI member Kim Sun Young (known professionally as Ari) after dating for around 5 years.
