Yoo Chae-yeong was a South Korean singer, actress, and radio host.

Born as Kim Soo-jin, she made her entertainment debut at 17 years old as part of the group Punsudeul in 1989, when she was still in high school. In 1994, using the stage name Yoo Chae-yeong, she became one of the original members of the popular K-pop group Cool. She initially attracted media attention for sporting a shaved head, which at the time was a bold hairstyle rarely seen on female Korean celebrities. Yoo left Cool a year later, going on to make up one half of the duo US in 1995. She embarked on a solo singing career in 1996, and her hit song "Emotion", contributed to the nationwide spread of techno music.

As an actress, Yoo appeared in supporting roles in movies and television dramas, notably in the comedy film Sex Is Zero and its sequel Sex Is Zero 2. She was also a popular radio host on the MBC program Good Weekend, It's Kim Kyung-sik and Yoo Chae-yeong, known for her quick wit and self-deprecating humor.

In 2009, after nearly a decade of absence from the music scene, she released a new single titled Another Decade.
