Story
Biography
Chloe Young, born Chloe Duong on October 31, 2001, is the Leader, Main Rapper, and a core dancer of BADVILLAIN, BPM Entertainment’s seven-member girl group that debuted on June 3, 2024. Born in Canada to a Korean mother and a Chinese-Vietnamese-Canadian father, Chloe moved to South Korea as a toddler and grew up immersed in the country’s dance scene long before she ever became an idol.
Before joining BPM Entertainment, Chloe had already built a career as a professional choreographer, training and performing at some of Korea’s most respected studios, including 1MILLION Dance Studio, 7HILLS, JustJerk Dance Academy, Prepix, and YGX. That real-world dance industry experience is part of why she was chosen to lead BADVILLAIN: she brings both technical authority and calm decision-making to a group of seven strong personalities.
Fans quickly nicknamed her “Halloween Baby” for her October 31 birthday, and she is affectionately called “Quokka” for her bright, easily-amused personality. A self-professed thriller-movie fan who also enjoys playing futsal, Chloe balances a playful side with the discipline of an ISTJ, the personality type she has confirmed on the group’s official social media.
As leader, Chloe has taken an active hand in BADVILLAIN’s music, notably contributing to the lyrics of the group’s post-debut special single “Hurricane.” She has continued to guide the group through “OVERSTEP,” “HURRICANE,” “ZOOM,” and 2025’s “THRILLER,” while also representing BADVILLAIN in interviews and official appearances as its primary spokesperson.
