Life and career

Early life and pre-debut activities

Chaeyoung was born in Seoul, South Korea on April 23, 1999.[1][2] She took interest in the performing arts from a young age and used to model for a children's magazine.[1] Chaeyoung decided she wanted to become a singer before joining JYP Entertainment and took dance lessons for over one year.[1] At age 13, she passed the auditions and ended up joining the company. As a trainee, she appeared in the music videos for Got7's "Stop Stop It" (2014) and Miss A's "Only You" (2015).[3][unreliable source?]

Chaeyoung participated in the reality television competition Sixteen in 2015.[4][5] Ranking sixth place out of the nine debut spots, she went on to join the newly formed girl group Twice as one of its rappers and singers.[4] On October 20, 2015, Twice officially debuted with the release of their first extended play (EP) The Story Begins.[6][1][4][7]

Chaeyoung became the first member of the group to receive writing credits when she wrote a rap verse for Twice's version of J. Y. Park's "Precious Love" as part of their 2016 EP Page Two.[8] Since then, Chaeyoung has participated in writing lyrics for multiple songs by Twice. For the group's second Japanese studio album &Twice, on the track "How U Doin'", Chaeyoung took part in composing for the first time, making her the first member to do so.[9] She also designed the limited edition cover of Page Two[10] and three different pairs of Spris (ko) shoes.[11]

As a soloist, Chaeyoung released covers of "Alone" by Cheeze,[1] "Off My Face" by Justin Bieber,[12] and "Weatherman" by Eddie Benjamin as part of the Melody Project series.[13] In 2022, she began learning to play the guitar in anticipation of a potential solo debut.[14] She then performed an unreleased solo track titled "My Guitar" on Twice's Ready to Be World Tour.[15] In October 2023, Chaeyoung collaborated with pop duo Coco & Clair Clair on a remix of their song "Pop Star".[16]

On June 10, 2025, JYP Entertainment announced that Chaeyoung was preparing for her solo debut.[17] Her debut studio album, Lil Fantasy Vol. 1, was released on September 12, with "Shoot (Firecracker)" serving as the lead single.[18][19] She also featured on rapper Sokodomo's single "Wake Up", released on November 20.[20] On November 21, JYP Entertainment announced that Chaeyoung had been diagnosed with vasovagal syncope and would be taking a hiatus due to health concerns.[21]

Endorsements

In September 2023, Chaeyoung was selected as a brand ambassador for Italian fashion house Etro in Japan.[22] In November, she was chosen as the brand muse for Japanese cosmetics brand CipiCipi.[23]

Personal life

Chaeyoung attended Hanlim Multi Art School with bandmate Tzuyu, graduating in 2019.[24][25] In 2020, Chaeyoung's personal phone number was leaked on social media; JYP Entertainment released a statement about the incident, and she responded directly on Twice's Instagram page.[26][27][28]

On April 5, 2024, JYP Entertainment confirmed that Chaeyoung is in a relationship with singer-songwriter Zion.T.[29][30]

She is Catholic and her baptismal name is Katarina.[31][32]

T-shirt controversies

On March 18, 2023, Chaeyoung appeared wearing a shirt with imagery of QAnon, an American far-right conspiracy theory movement, during a promotion of "Set Me Free" on MBC's Show! Music Core.[33][34] The crop top showed a large Q in American-flag print with the words "We Go All" below it, a prominent slogan of the conspiracy theory group.[35] Three days later, on March 21, the singer posted a picture on Instagram in which she was wearing a T-shirt with Nazi imagery.[36] The T-shirt specifically featured an image of Sid Vicious, bassist of the Sex Pistols, wearing a tilted right-facing swastika identical to the one used by Nazi Germany.[37] Chaeyoung subsequently removed the Instagram post and issued an apology.[38][39] In the apology, she wrote, "I didn't correctly recognise the meaning of the tilted swastika in the t-shirt I wore."[40] Chaeyoung's label, JYP Entertainment, also issued an apology with regard to her Instagram post taking responsibility "for not thoroughly reviewing it from the label side."[41] The apologies by Chaeyoung and her label did not address the QAnon shirt.[42][43]
