Lee Keumjo built her professional identity around her voice — first as the final addition to 9MUSES, joining the group as its main vocalist and youngest member, and later carrying that foundation into a solo career spanning music and musical theatre.
From group to stage
Keumjo entered 9MUSES as the act's maknae, the last piece added to a lineup built around a bold, fashion-forward aesthetic and a sound that drew from electronic pop and R&B. Within that ensemble, her role was clearly defined: she anchored the group's vocal performances. After 9MUSES concluded its run as a group, Keumjo did not step away from performing. She transitioned into two parallel lanes — solo singer and musical actress — that allowed her to develop the vocal craft she had established during her group years.
Life beyond the industry
In February 2026, Keumjo shared news of a more personal nature, announcing her pregnancy following four years of marriage. In doing so, she offered a candid detail: she had asked her late father to send her a child. The announcement drew attention not only for the news itself but for the openness with which she spoke about grief and family.
