금미연
Amy Keum is a Korean-American actor and singer working across musical theatre, film, and television. Before reaching Broadway, she appeared in regional productions including Lizzie, Mamma Mia!, and Be More Chill and developed screen credits in Honor Society, Evil, and The Kill Room. Keum made her Broadway debut in 2022 as Ivy, a member of the fictional K-pop group RTMIS, in the original Broadway cast of KPOP. She also served as the original understudy for the central role of MwE. Her work in the production placed a Korean-American performer within a story told partly in Korean and focused on the cultural negotiations involved in presenting Korean popular music to an American audience. She has since continued working in both screen projects and new stage productions.
