Lee Na-kyung이나경이나경
Lee Na-kyung is a member of fromis_9, the five-member girl group under ASND. She came through Mnet's Idol School in 2017, debuted on 24 January 2018, played two parts in her first acting role in 2021, and sings the unit track 'Cold Blood' on the 2026 album Glow ME.
Lee Na-kyung (이나경) is a member of fromis_9. The group debuted as nine on 24 January 2018 with the mini album To. Heart, and five members signed with the newly founded ASND in 2025 and resumed under the same name.
That line-up was settled the year before. Herald Muse reported that the final episode of Mnet’s Idol School, broadcast on 29 September 2017, confirmed the nine who would debut, and Lee Na-kyung was one of them.
On the second full-length album Glow ME, released on 21 July 2026, she sings the unit track ‘Cold Blood’ with Lee Chae-young and Baek Ji-heon. The track list Sports Kyunghyang published on 8 July 2026 identifies it as the three members’ unit track, and in a written interview the same outlet ran on 20 July she named it her favourite song on the record, saying it was a style she was trying for the first time and hard to record, but that the result satisfied her. Speaking to Esquire Korea for its August 2026 issue, she said the album carries many songs in styles the group would not have taken on before.
Marie Claire Korea published an interview with her and Lee Chae-young on 18 August 2026. She said that eight years together had held a great deal of laughter and tears, that getting through the hard stretches together is what made the group what it is, and that the fandom, flover, is its greatest driving force.
Lee Na-kyung acted for the first time in the 2021 Kakao TV original drama 그림자 미녀 (Shadow Beauty). It follows a high-school student who is one person at school and another on social media, and Lee Na-kyung played two parts: Jini, the star of the account, and Sun Mi-jin, a transfer student. Asked about the casting by Xports News, she said the members were delighted when they heard. The drama ended on 29 December 2021, and in her closing remarks to Sports Kyunghyang she said the first day of filming was still with her and the time to the last episode had gone quickly, and that the subject was one many people could recognise, so there had been a great deal in it for her to feel and learn.
Her name is on drama music too. On 26 November 2024 she and Song Ha-young released ‘봄처럼 다가와’, the eighth part of the soundtrack for the ENA drama Brewing Love. On 15 June 2026 the first episode of 방판소녀들 (Bangpan Sonyeodeul), a web-variety series from the production company Studio Bridge, went up, and it again pairs her with Song Ha-young, this time meeting members of the public around Seoul.
Start with ‘Vitamin ME’, the title track of the second full-length album Glow ME, and with the unit track ‘Cold Blood’. Ahead of that album, she told Star News on 20 July 2026 that she wanted to tour and play concerts again and meet more flover. Official music videos and the group’s self-produced content are on the fromis_9 YouTube channel. K-Culture Radar links to official uploads rather than rehosting them.
