Kim Chan-mi (born June 19, 1996), better known as simply Chanmi, is a South Korean idol singer. She is best known as being the main dancer of the South Korean girl group AOA under FNC Entertainment.
Chanmi was born on June 19, 1996, in Gumi, South Korea. She was enrolled into dancing school at a young age, and performed on the streets of Gumi. She and her three siblings were raised by her mother after her parents divorced when she was in elementary school.

The music video teaser for title track "I'm Jelly Baby" was released on February 4, 2016. AOA Cream released their title track together with the MV on February 12, 2016.
Chanmi has participated in multiple solo competitions and has been recognized for her dancing and fitness skills. She made it into the final round of MBC Music's Idol Dance Battle D-Style in 2014, and performed in both a solo dance stage and a joint dance stage in MBC's DMC Festival in 2015. She also competed in KBS's Muscle Queen Project in 2016.
