Kan Mi-youn debuted in October 1997 as a new member of the first generation girl group Baby V.O.X, replacing ex-member Cha Yu-Mi, who was injured on stage during a performance.

Kan was considered the main, and best, vocalist of the group, due to her ability to hit high notes.

The group gained a vast loyal fan base in Korea, China, Thailand and other Asian markets.

[6] Kan was rumored to be dating H.O.T member Moon Hee Joon, which attracted many anti-fans and negative press.

[7] In 2006, Kan made the decision to pursue a solo career and signed with H2 Entertainment, thus ending her eight years of activities as a member of Baby V.O.X.

[9] Following the release of her album, and after learning how to fluently speak in Mandarin, Kan made the decision to break into the Chinese music market.

[3] One of Kan's most notable feats was winning a famous Mandarin singing competition, 名声大震, with Chinese singer Anson Hu.

[13][14][15] In 2009, Kan left H2 Entertainment and moved to the then-newly launched Source Music label, founded by her then-manager So Sung-jin.

With her new short hair and sexy image, Kan released her first digital single, Going Crazy (ft. Mir of MBLAQ).

[16][17] The music video, which featured Lee Joon and Mir of MBLAQ, recorded over 200,000 views in under an hour on GomTV.

[19] On February 8, 2011, Kan released a music video teaser for Sunshine (ft. Junsu), a pre-release single for her upcoming album.

On October 24, 2011, Kan took over from Noh Hong-chul as DJ for MBC FM4U's Close Friends radio program.
