Kidoh (키도) (born 16 December 1992 in Seoul) is a South Korean singer, rapper, composer, producer and song writer. He was a member of the South Korean boy band Topp Dogg, and the first Topp Dogg band member to release a solo album. He has been active member of South Korean hiphop crews called Rockbottom and Daenamhyup for several years.

Kidoh (키도), also known as Jin Hyo Sang (진효상), was born in Seoul, South Korea, and studied at the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. Initially, Kidoh wanted to become a music producer. Later, he received a call from Brave Brothers, who influenced Kidoh to consider a more diverse musical career. Kidoh's career began in a trainee role with Big Hit Entertainment, in preparation for membership in the musical group BTS (방탄소년단).

Kidoh's first appearance with Topp Dogg was on the television show Show Champion, on 22 October 2013, performing a title that he produced (Say It, 말로해).

On 26 September 2014, Kidoh released his first solo album, Mini Album. The album features several types of sounds mixed using a method called Double title. For example, two titles received different emphasis, She is so sensitive, in a catchy rhythm for the live performances, and Taxi on the phone, in a calm rhythm with focus placed on vocals. The title She is so sensitive was debuted at the 2014 Hallyu Dream Festival Concert. Kidoh's debut solo music video, Taxi on the phone, also debuted in September 2014.

In collaboration with A-Tom, Jenissi, and Yano, Kidoh contributed to lyrics for the following titles.

Kidoh composed Play Ground, and wrote, composed, and produced A woman like you (너같은 여자) and From a Trainee to an Artist.

Kidoh has performed several appearances as a solo artist since his outset. For the 100th episode of the TV Show Show Champion, Kidoh (with Jenissi) collaborated with Suga and Rap Monster (BTS), and Zelo and Bang Yong Guk (B.A.P). He has also collaborated for several songs of 일레븐 (i11evn) (in featuring with Marvel J, or Supreme Boi).
