Seo Youkyung

Seo You-kyung (born March 15, 1993, in South Korea) is a drummer — among the few women to hold the kit in K-pop (Discogs). Former drummer of AOA and its band sub-unit AOA Black; later Piagite (2019) and co-ed band UNI (2022).

YouTube: 172,000 subscribers, 11,662,207 views (live iFANN, fetched 2026-10-13) — drum covers and performance clips. Instagram: @drrrr.youkyung.[edit]

Seoul-raised; drums from a young age; family and schooling private. February 2010: debuted drumming with SPONGE BAND — the stage apprenticeship. 2012: signed FNC, joined AOA's "7+1" transformer concept (seven angels plus drummer) ahead of the July 30 debut with "Angels' Story" (Kome World).[edit]

2013: AOA Black's band-format push — "MOYA" (July) — with Youkyung on drums and percussion (Wikipedia). October 15, 2016: exited when her FNC contract expired, as AOA went fully dance-concept (NamuWiki).

April 22, 2019: joined Piagite on drums. 2022: joined co-ed band UNI — active through 2026. Parallel: YouTube drum channel to 11.6M views. July 2020: an ambiguous post during AOA's bullying-allegation controversy drew attention; she clarified and apologized July 6.[edit]

Drummer first, ex-idol second. Bio: "Seo youkyung. Drummer You's Drum." Straightforward, professional, performance-led; press frames her as the female idol-drummer rarity.[edit]

iFANN-only numbers, read from live data: YouTube: 172,000 subscribers, 11,662,207 views (fetched 2026-10-13). Last.fm: no listener figures in the live feed. Popularity rank: #41,728 overall, #31,459 by type (ranked 2026-10-19). Audience: musicians and drum-bits loyalists, no official fan name (AOA's "Ace" was group-era). No campaigns, billboards, or drives on record. She holds no placement in iFANN's Global Fame Engine Top 1,000 or any Top-100 scope list.[edit]

Stage names by era: You, You's Drum, Ga On. Handle @drrrr.youkyung: the D's are a snare roll. Left before AOA's commercial peak, as the agency pivoted dance-ward. July 2020: the ambiguous-post apology remains her most-discussed off-kit moment.[edit]

Parents, siblings, upbringing: undisclosed. No spouse or children on record. Private life stays off the feed; the kit is the content.[edit]

AOA band unit: Jimin, Choa, Yuna, Mina. FNC Entertainment (2012–2016). Piagite, UNI (bandmates). AOA fandom "Ace" (group-era).[edit]

Zero confirmed relationships; zero credible links. Socials are drums-only. Status: undisclosed.[edit]

No credible figure published; the old "$1 Million" estimate was iFANN speculation and is dropped. Lines: live band work, YouTube ads, session gigs. Specialist-musician economics, not idol-endorsement economics.[edit]
