Belle
Belle (벨), born Anabelle Hyewon Shim (심혜원), is the main vocalist of KISS OF LIFE, the retro-soul K-pop group under S2 Entertainment. Born on March 20, 2004, in Seattle, Washington, she is the daughter of veteran Korean singer Shim Shin (심신) and grew up between the US and South Korea. Before debuting as a performer, Belle worked as a professional songwriter at SM Entertainment, a rare credential for someone her age. That grounding shows across KISS OF LIFE's catalog: her voice anchors the group's most emotionally layered moments, and her compositional contributions span their entire discography from the debut EP through 224 (2025). Belle's exceptional vocal range sets her apart in a group already known for strong individual performance. She earned the Proud Korean Grand Prize in the composer category at the 2023 Korea Best Brand Awards. In 2021, she was announced as an artist under AURA, S2 Entertainment's creative collective, ahead of her KISS OF LIFE debut. Her solo pre-debut track Countdown, released in June 2023, showcased the technical precision and emotional depth that define her work.
