Early life and education
Early life
Kim Do-ah was born on December 4, 2003, in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea.[4][3] Public details about her family background remain limited.[6] As a child, she cultivated early interests in music and dance through personal hobbies, including freestyle dancing and listening to disco tracks, which gradually led her toward preparing for entertainment auditions.[6]Education
Kim Do-ah attended Geumho High School in Seoul, from which she graduated on February 8, 2022.[7] Prior to joining FENT entertainment through street casting, she pursued informal dance and vocal lessons outside of school, developing her skills through extracurricular arts activities while maintaining her academic focus during high school.[6] She did not undergo formal agency training until her trainee period with FENT, which lasted approximately 2 years leading up to her appearance on Produce 48 in 2018; this preparation supported her entry into the entertainment industry.[6]Career
2018–2019: Produce 48, debut with Fanatics Flavor, and Fanatics
In 2018, Kim Do-ah entered the K-pop industry as a trainee under FENT Entertainment and participated in the Mnet survival program Produce 48, which aimed to form a multinational girl group. Representing her agency, she competed alongside 95 other contestants, demonstrating her dance and vocal abilities through concept evaluations and team performances. In the eighth episode, she was selected for the fan-imagined unit YBY, performing the song "The Rain," which highlighted her stage presence. However, she was eliminated in episode 11 during the final ranking announcement, placing 23rd overall and missing the debut lineup by ten positions.[8] Following her elimination from Produce 48, Kim Do-ah quickly transitioned to her debut activities. On November 26, 2018, she debuted as part of Fanatics Flavor, FENT's pre-debut sub-unit consisting of the three youngest trainees—Kim, Chiayi, and Yoonhye—with the release of their single album Milkshake. The retro-concept track and accompanying music video introduced the members' charms and served as a teaser for the full group's upcoming launch, marking Kim's official entry as an idol.[8][9] The sub-unit's activities paved the way for Fanatics' full debut on August 6, 2019, when the six-member girl group—comprising Doi, Chaelin, Chiayi, Yoonhye, Doah, and Sika—released their mini album The Six, led by the upbeat title track "Sunday." In the group, Kim Do-ah was positioned as lead dancer and sub-vocalist, contributing to choreography and harmony sections that emphasized the ensemble's youthful energy.[10][11] Throughout late 2019, Fanatics focused on initial promotions for The Six, including performances on major music programs such as M Countdown and Inkigayo, as well as a debut media showcase and fan signing events. These activities helped build the group's early fanbase, fostering connections through live stages that showcased their synchronized dances and vibrant concepts. During this time, Kim also began overlapping her schedule with her acting debut in a web series, expanding her entertainment presence.[12]2020–2022: Group activities, Girls Planet 999, and early acting roles
In 2020, Kim Do-ah continued her activities as a member of Fanatics with the release of the group's second mini-album, Plus Two, on May 4, which featured the title track "V.A.V.I. Girl."[13] During the promotions for Plus Two, the group introduced two new members, Rayeon and Via, while existing members Yoonhye and Chaelin took a temporary break, allowing Kim to contribute as a lead rapper and dancer in live performances on music programs such as M Countdown and fan engagement events.[14] The album's tracks, including "No. 1" and "If You & I," highlighted the group's evolving sound, with Kim participating in choreography and vocal sections that emphasized her role as the maknae and center.[15] The following year, Fanatics returned with their first digital single, "Starry Night," on May 10, 2021, an uplifting track aimed at providing comfort during challenging times, accompanied by a lyric video rather than a full music video.[16] Kim Do-ah took part in promotional activities, including dance performances shared on social media and limited live stages amid the ongoing pandemic, which helped maintain fan connections through online fan meetings and birthday celebrations for members.[17] These efforts underscored her growing presence in the group, blending rap verses with visual appeal in the single's concept.[18] In July 2021, Kim Do-ah represented Fanatics as a contestant on Mnet's survival program Girls Planet 999: The Girls Saga, competing alongside 99 trainees from Korea, Japan, and China to form the girl group Kep1er.[19] She showcased her skills in vocal and dance missions, earning praise for her charisma during the creation and connect missions, but was eliminated in episode 8 on September 24, 2021, after ranking 9th in the K-Group (K-09 overall).[19] Following her elimination, Kim expressed gratitude to fans via Instagram, noting the experience as a valuable step in her growth despite the disappointment.[20] Parallel to her music endeavors, Kim began expanding into acting during this period, building on her 2019 web series debut in I Am Not a Robot where she played the supporting role of Han Yeo-reum, a bold and honest character.[1] In 2020, she secured her first lead role as Im Seon-ji, an innocent yet charming high school student, in the Naver TV web series The World of My 17, a 12-episode drama exploring friendship and youth that aired from March 10.[21] That same year, she appeared in supporting roles as Go Yeon-yi in the romantic web series Real:Time:Love seasons 3 and 4, portraying a character in short-form episodes focused on modern relationships.[1] By 2022, Kim took on her first significant television series role as Han Woo-re, a supporting character in the EBS1 children's drama Secret of Lightning Cape, which aired from November and marked her transition to broadcast TV with a narrative centered on adventure and teamwork. These early acting projects allowed her to diversify her career, drawing on her expressive performance style honed from idol activities.[4]2023–2025: Solo debut, Fanatics disbandment, and ongoing solo activities
In 2023, Kim Do-ah transitioned to solo artistry by releasing her debut digital single "Dream Walking" on May 23, under the label FASCINO.[22][23] This project highlighted her vocal range and marked her initial step into independent music endeavors outside group activities.[22] That same year, she expanded her acting portfolio with supporting roles including Yoo Jeong-ah in the web drama My Man Is Cupid and a guest appearance as a princess in the first episode of the MBC historical-fantasy drama The Story of Park's Marriage Contract.[1][24] On October 17, 2024, her former group Fanatics officially disbanded following the expiration of the members' contracts with FENT Entertainment.[25] Post-disbandment, Kim Do-ah maintained momentum in her solo career, focusing on promotions across Korea and Japan while affiliated with KZ Entertainment for her Japanese activities.[26] In August 2024, she released the Japanese version of "Dream Walking," marking her Japan solo debut. In July 2025, she hosted her fan-concert "Cherry Farm" on July 13 at PLUSWIN HALL in Osaka, featuring performances and fan interactions to engage her international audience.[27] As of November 2025, she announced "KIM DOAH BIRTHDAY LIVE 2025" for December 4 in Seoul, continuing her solo engagements.[28]Discography
