Chaeryeong is a member of the JYP Entertainment girl group ITZY, which debuted in February 2019 with hits such as "DALLA DALLA," "WANNABE," and "LOCO." She is known for her dancing, her stage presence, and a reputation as a heavy practicer. She also has a lighter variety-show personality and has contributed to songwriting, including ITZY's "Mine" and "Focus." In November 2026 she became the third ITZY member to go solo, after Yeji and Yuna, with the four-track mini album "Lovesick." She has said she hopes to grow as a songwriter and to try acting in the future.

Where they grew up

Chaeryeong has said she loved dancing and singing from early childhood, and that this naturally grew into a dream of becoming a singer. As a kid she adored celebrities and dreamed of becoming the next Girls' Generation, and she names Wonder Girls' "Stupid" as the song that still plays in her head when she thinks of those years. Her first live music experience was PSY's free show in Gangnam, which she attended with her mom when "Gangnam Style" blew up. She later got to meet Girls' Generation in person after her own debut. The pages do not say where she grew up or detail her trainee path.
