Woo Hye-rim

Woo Hye-rim (Korean우혜림; born September 1, 1992), known professionally as Hyerim or Lim, is a South Korean singer, rapper, songwriter, and radio personality known for her work as a former member of South Korean girl group Wonder Girls. She has hosted Wonder Hours with Hyerim on KBS World Radio since January 2024.

Woo Hye-rim was born on September 1, 1992, in Seoul, South Korea. She lived in Hong Kong for 14 years, where she finished middle school before returning to South Korea. She can speak Korean, English, Cantonese, and Mandarin fluently. Her father is a grandmaster and promoter of Taekwondo, with the highest 9th-degree black belt in the discipline.[citation needed]

Originally, Hyerim was a part of five-member group in training in 2009. While still in training, the group flew to China where they appeared in numerous variety shows performing dance routines and songs to showcase their talent to the Chinese audience. As the group had no official name they were widely known to the Chinese audiences as "JYP Sisters" or simply as "Sisters" and were also dubbed by JYPE as the "Chinese Wonder Girls". However, before the group could officially debut, two of their members withdrew leaving only three which included Lim herself as well as Jia and Fei, who both went onto become members of Miss A. Hyerim later confirmed that she originally prepared debut as a member of Miss A for three-years and two months prior the group's debut, she was added as new member of Wonder Girls in January 2010.

On January 22, 2010, Hyerim was revealed as new member of Wonder Girls, after member Sunmi put her musical career on hiatus to focus on studies. Her official debut stage with the group was on February 5, 2010, in a performance in Shanghai.

In 2013, she became a co-host for EBS radio broadcast English Go Go!. From August 20, 2013 to March 10, 2014, she also served as the host of Arirang TV's Pops in Seoul.

On June 24, 2015, it was announced that Wonder Girls would be making comeback after two-year hiatus, as a four-member band. On the band's August 2015 release REBOOT, she contributed to the writing and production of three songs.

Hyerim released a collaboration single with Bernard Park titled "With You" on April 3, 2016, as a part of JYP Entertainment's JYP Duet Match project. In July of the same year, she also contributed to the composition of two songs on Wonder Girls' single EP Why So Lonely.

On January 26, 2017, it was announced that Wonder Girls were to disband after unsuccessful contract renewal negotiation with some of its members. Hyerim was one of the members who renewed her contract with JYP Entertainment. The group released their final single "Draw Me" on February 10; it also serves as a celebration for their 10th anniversary since debut.
