Yoon Kye Sang is a South Korean singer, actor, and member of g.o.d (지오디). He graduated from Seocho Electronic Technology High School.

He auditioned for a new group that KH iHQ (KH아이에이치큐) and Joon Park were forming. They faced many challenges even before debuting as the International Monetary Fund collapse brought a severe economic crisis to South Korea and the agency struggled financially, having to cut funding to many trainees. Park Jin Young was brought in to become their producer and mentor, and originally, the group's name was set to be GOT6 before a trainee decided to quit before debuting.

He made his debut in January 1999 as g.o.d's vocalist with their first album, "Chapter 1". They gained attention for their "boys next door" looks and their vocal talent, a stark contrast to the trend of the era, which was largely focused on groups with visually appealing members and highly sophisticated and energetic choreography. They are one of the best-selling artists in South Korea, but due to their extended hiatus and lack of overseas promotions, their popularity and fame have been largely limited to the domestic market.

In September 2001, the group nearly disbanded when Joon Park was found out to be dating. The agency wanted him to quit the group so g.o.d could continue promoting. However, this decision was met with strong opposition from the other members and the fans, so it was eventually dropped.

He enlisted for his mandatory military service on December 7, 2004, and was discharged on December 6, 2006. Before serving, he announced he would not return to the group after his military duties as he wanted to pursue a career in acting and as a solo artist. He made his acting debut in the 2004 film "Flying Boys", for which he won Best New Actor at the Baeksang Arts Awards and became active in both television and film since then.

After many years on hiatus, g.o.d officially reunited in 2014. He decided to return as a member and they have continued to release new albums and have held concerts all over the country. Group activities are managed by Gemstone E&M (젬스톤이엔앰), and for his individual activities, he is represented by Just Entertainment (저스트엔터테인먼트).
