Kim Yu-gyeom (; born November 17, 1997), known mononymously as Yugyeom (), is a South Korean singer-songwriter and dancer who made his debut as a member of the South Korean boy band Got7 in 2014 and the subunit Jus2.
While in Yeosu, he attended trumpet, Bass guitar and guitar lessons; however, he was especially interested in dance, and started performing for his classmates during lunch breaks in his second year of primary school. He started dreaming of becoming a singer and a dancer watching performances of Big Bang and J.Y. Park when he was little, and, after his family moved to Yeosu, Yugyeom joined the school talent show, where he performed a choreography. From there, he actively took part in these events, and, for two years, learnt choreographies on his own by copying them from TV.
While attending the first year of middle school, he took part in the Hidden Performing Arts Tournament, where he danced to Beast's "Shock". His older brother filmed the performance and posted it to Cyworld, where the footage caught the attention of Yugyeom's cousin, a dance teacher, who invited him to join the private dance school where she worked. Yugyeom refers to his cousin using "누나" (older sister). After learning freestyle dance, he joined the Body & Soul crew at age 13, entering underground dance competitions: with them, in 2010, he won second place at the national competition Adrenaline House Dance Battle. A teacher at the dance school he was attending was a dance instructor for JYP Entertainment, and this led him to an audition for the label.

In 2016, he participated in Mnet's Hit the Stage, a dance survival show which sees idols from different K-pop groups team up with professional dance teams and compete with others, appearing in episodes 9 and 10. He ranked second in episode 9 and won first place during the final. The same year, Yugyeom began taking part in writing and composing Got7's songs, debuting as a songwriter with "See The Light" (빛이나) for their album. Yugyeom also co-hosted The Show on April 5 and The Show SBS Super Concert in Busan on October 18.
In April 2018, together with fellow member Jay B, he participated in the art collaboration project "Collaboran" for carbonated mineral water brand Perrier with American multimedia artist Ben Jones. The art collaboration was unveiled at a launching event on April 22, at Nakwon Musical Instrument Arcade. With Got7's third full-length studio album , Yugyeom released his solo song "Fine". The accompanying music video was disclosed on September 12. In February 2019, he joined the SBS reality show Law of The Jungle in Northern Mariana Islands for four episodes. On March 5, he debuted as one half of the K-pop duo Jus2 alongside Jay B, with the mini album Focus.
In May 2020, he appeared on MBC's singing competition show King of Mask Singer as "Mr. Raspberry Wine", on episode 257.
