Jooyoung

Kim Joo-young (Korean김주영; born March 9, 1991), better known as Jooyoung, is a South Korean singer-songwriter. He debuted in 2010 and has released several singles and two extended plays, From Me To You (2012) and Fountain (2018).

Prior to his debut under RealCollabo, Jooyoung and his schoolmate Shin Dong-woo (who later debuted as B1A4's CNU) created a J&D duo for 2009 Chinchin Youth Song Festival. They had a band named 갭골 (Gapgol), and Jooyoung's nickname was 갭주 (Gapjoo).

Jooyoung was first introduced to public through a cover of George Benson's Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You uploaded on October 11, 2010, on RealCollabo's YouTube channel as RealCollabo's second artist. A month later he released another cover of Jeremy Passion's "Well Done". He finally debuted on December 7 with digital single "그대와 같아 (Same as You)".

On December 11, 2012, he released his first mini album "From Me to You" with self-composed song "네게 난" as the title track, which also marked his debut as a songwriter.

RealCollabo held its 'RealCollabo Live' concert, 'Siaena & Jooyoung RealCollabo Live 001' on January 18, 2013, at Hongdae V Hall. After this, he started guesting at other singers' showcases and concerts.

Jooyoung announced his departure from RealCollabo on April 4, 2013, via his personal Twitter. After leaving RealCollabo, he moved to Belikewater Records. He was featured on Lyn's song "High Heel", and guested on her showcase performing the song. On September 30, he released digital single "Popstar", produced by Jay Chong.

He made a guest appearance at the showcase of one of his best friends, Kim Feel, at DiDimHall Hongdae on November 28. He performed again in Kim Feel's first 'Another Concert' at Jazz Story in Seoul the following year.

Together with Go Hyung-suk, he helped B1A4's CNU compose the latter's first solo song, "음악을 취해 (Drunk with Music)", released on January 13, 2014. In the same year, Jooyoung and CNU teamed up with Jooyoung's former labelmate Cheeze and wrote "Drive", released on July 14.
