Story
Biography
Who Is Mimi of Oh My Girl?
Mimi is the main rapper, main dancer, and sub-vocalist of Oh My Girl, the six-member South Korean girl group under WM Entertainment. Born Kim Mi-hyun on May 1, 1995, she’s the group’s only dedicated rapper, instantly recognizable for her husky voice, sharp delivery, and effortlessly cool stage presence.
Early Life and Trainee Years
Mimi was born on Jeju Island and moved with her family to Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do at around age four, later graduating from Changwon Girls’ High School before heading to Seoul at nineteen. She has been training since 2013, and Jiho was the very first person she met on her trainee journey — the two bonded quickly before Mimi eventually debuted with Oh My Girl in 2015.
Life in Oh My Girl
Debuting on April 20, 2015, Mimi has powered the group’s title tracks with her rap verses ever since, from “Cupid” and “Liar Liar” to “Nonstop” and “Dun Dun Dance.” Fans often compare her look to Apink’s Jung Eunji, and her drawing talent and love of boxing have become well-known parts of her off-stage identity. She’s also candid about finding paparazzi and cameras intimidating, a rare bit of vulnerability from someone so comfortable owning a stage.
Variety Shows and the MNZ Project
Mimi has built a strong presence outside music too. She joined the cast of tvN’s travel variety show Earth Arcade in 2022 alongside An Yujin and Lee Youngji, competed in the vocal survival show The Second World, and runs her own YouTube channel, MimPD. In 2024, she launched the duo project MNZ with comedian Lee Eun-ji, expanding her range well beyond her rapper roots.
