HL Anyang introduces Kang Ye-jin to its 2026–27 fans as Kang Blue. Alongside her rink appearances, her ARTBEAT dance films and personal song cover offer a way into the work she has made away from hockey.
On 19 April 2021, she appeared as the applicant YeJin in ARTBEAT’s final audition, taking Umji’s part in GFRIEND’s “Me Gustas Tu.” A practice-room version followed the next day, labeled rehearsal day four. The audition results were still to come at that point.
In June that year, she returned to the same song and part in ARTBEAT’s “HERE?” series. The audition, practice-room film and later series performance follow one piece through several stages of her early work.
In November 2025, she took Hong Eunchae’s part in the AB PROJECT B-team cover of LE SSERAFIM’s “SPAGHETTI,” filmed on the streets of Hongdae. This performance and the earlier GFRIEND covers remain available on ARTBEAT’s channel.
On 16 March 2026, she released “Goodbye Bye” on her own YouTube channel, introducing it as her first song-cover video. The original is by Japanese singer Tomioka Ai. WM filmed the video; Hwanhee handled recording and editing, Gyuso helped with editing, and Jinwoo provided mixing and vocal lessons.
Her appearances with ARTBEAT also include a Chungju content tour alongside local school and community dance crews. In producer RECCI’s field report, she encourages viewers to visit Chungju on a weekend, adding a local-event appearance to her street-cover work.
