ABOUT
Discover Ning Yizhuo


NINGNING 닝닝 debuted as the main vocalist and youngest member of South Korean girl group aespa under SM Entertainment on November 17, 2020. Over the course of her career, she has established herself as an all-rounder artist, recognized for her excellent singing, dancing, and rapping, as well as her experience in music production, composition, songwriting, and even choreographing. But before debuting as NINGNING, she was known as Ning Yizhuo 宁艺卓 first. Ning Yizhuo has been exposed to the public eye very early on. She auditioned for countless talent programs in pursuit of her dreams until she landed herself her final audition: to become an idol trainee at SM Entertainment, a pivotal point in her career that led her to becoming NINGNING of aespa years later.














The NINGNING we know today is the culmination of years and years of perseverance. A child who once dreamed of becoming a star now shines the brightest on the stage she loves. She truly is living up to her name: Yìzhuó: 艺 (Yì) = art, skill; 卓 (Zhuó)= outstanding!

QUOTES

"I think we should be confident as women because women are an amazing existence. They are beautiful and lovely no matter what they do. I hope all women will do whatever they love, without caring about what others think of them."

“You guys might be worried that I will feel bad because of antis or whatever, but in fact I don’t care about those rumors. I look for my own mistakes from myself to keep me improving, so I won’t be affected by those anti comments.

“Recently, I've realized that although some things don't go as planned, good weather, eating delicious food, or meeting those I want to see, moments like that make life feel beautiful. Although we can't be this content everyday, we have to believe that there are many, many beautiful things in this world."

I tend to focus on myself and I enjoy expressing myself. But I don’t like competing or challenging others. I feel that in life, and on stage, we’re always competing against ourselves so outside of the program’s rules, I’ll be a ‘normal person’ because I want to be my own competitor and I just want to showcase my works to others. But I also like to try new things, so outside of the rules, I’m a ‘challenger'."

“I do feel very conflicted internally. But I’ll think, “the more you oppose me, the more I’ll do the things you hate.” They don’t like seeing me doing well so I want to show them that I can do it.
