ICONIQ
Ayumi Itō (born August 25, 1984), better known by her stage name Iconiq (stylized ICONIQ) is from former Korean girl-group Sugar, where she was known by her stage names Ahyoomee (stylized as AhYooMi) and Ayumi Lee. Ito was born as a third generation Korean resident and raised in Japan for much of her younger life and is the reason for her Japanese accent, although she is now fluent in both languages. Although Ayumi's name is commonly believed to be Japanese in origin, she has explained that her name is hanja-based. She has also attended Korea Kent Foreign School. Ito is currently in a relationship with Sanfrecce Hiroshima football player, Tadanari Lee.
