Chaeryeong Profile — ITZY Member, Solo Tracks, and Fancam Viewing Guide

CHAERYEONG is a member of ITZY. Her full name is Lee Chae-ryeong, born on June 5, 2001. If you first discovered Chaeryeong through solo fancams focusing on an individual member, it is best to pair them with full-group stage performances and choreography practice videos of the same song. Solo fancams highlight facial expressions and delicate fingertip control, while full-stage clips reveal formations and how she navigates between the other members.

At a Glance: Name and Birthday

When searching in English, make sure not to confuse CHAERYEONG with CHAEYEON. Chaeryeong is a member of ITZY, while her older sister Lee Chae-yeon promotes as an independent solo artist. If a video title only lists a name, check the group name and channel name to avoid mixing up the sisters or others with similar names. Her birthday is based on the date listed in ITZY's official Japanese profile.

Pre-Debut Audition Timeline

Chaeryeong appeared on SBS's K-pop Star 3 alongside her older sister Lee Chae-yeon in 2013, and later competed on Mnet's SIXTEEN in 2015. After participating in both survival shows, she debuted with ITZY in 2019. To trace her journey, follow the timeline of K-pop Star 3 → SIXTEEN → Debut with ITZY.

While audition clips offer interesting comparisons to her current performances, it is best not to project past critiques onto her present skill set or team role. Broadcast edits, practice sessions, and official live stages all differ in intent and setting. You can read more about her debut process in news coverage from ITZY's 2019 debut.

Spotting Chaeryeong in ITZY's Performances

ITZY consists of Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, and Yuna. Rather than short clips focusing solely on center parts, watching a full-length stage lets you observe how each member moves and prepares for upcoming steps during other members' lines. When focusing on Chaeryeong, pay close attention to her arm extensions, fluid weight shifts, and the clean stillness as she finishes a motion while waiting for the next beat.

Even identical choreography can look remarkably different depending on outfits, camera angles, and stage dimensions. Instead of judging members based on a single fancam, comparing a group stage and an individual fancam from the exact same date provides a clearer picture. Even if a performer is out of frame at moments, it does not mean they lacked a part or role in that section.

Solo Track "Mine" and Group Albums

Chaeryeong's solo track Mine is featured on ITZY's 2024 album BORN TO BE. You can watch the official "Mine" music video released by JYP alongside the behind-the-scenes making video on ITZY's channel. It helps to differentiate between solo tracks included on a group release and standalone solo albums issued under an artist's own name.

The studio audio lets you focus on vocal nuances and song structure, while the music video showcases visual direction and concept design. Behind-the-scenes footage reveals the production process and should not be weighed like a finalized performance. Listening to the audio track first, watching the music video next, and finishing with the behind-the-scenes content makes it easy to connect the music with the visual narrative. Album release details and the tracklist can also be viewed on Apple Music's BORN TO BE.

November 2026 Solo Activities

As of November 7, 2026, Chaeryeong's first solo mini-album Lovesick is scheduled for release on November 9 at 6:00 PM KST. This schedule was confirmed via JYP's release of trailers, tracklists, and schedulers, as reported in Dispatch on October 19 and teaser coverage on November 2.

Keep in mind the difference between pre-release teasers and the final released tracks. Brief teasers do not reflect full song arrangements or critical reception, and unreleased albums carry no verified sales numbers, chart positions, or music broadcast records. Official announcements from the agency take precedence if schedules change.

Choosing Between Fancams, Facecams, and Choreography Videos

Search terms for fancams usually combine ITZY CHAERYEONG + Song Title, or in Korean, 있지 채령 + Song Title + 직캠. Adding the music broadcast show name or date makes it easy to find matching outfits and stages. Short-form vertical edits may crop out portions of the original footage, so check the video duration and official channel source to enjoy the complete performance. For deeper distinctions between video types, consult the Fancam Guide.
