She was one of the successful contestants, one of the youngest chosen to be a part of the group.
Following the finalization of their lineup, the group quickly worked on their first Extended Play (EP) called “The Story Begins” which contained the single “Like Ooh-Ahh”, which quickly gained fame internationally online, becoming one of the most viewed music videos of any K-pop group during their debut.

The following year, Chaeyoung and Twice released their second EP called “Page Two”, which contained the single “Cheer Up”, which would continue to solidify their status as one of the more popular girl groups in the industry. Later in the year, they worked on their third EP called “Twicecoaster: Lane 1” which contained the dance song “TT”.
The song achieved over 200 million views on YouTube, and spent four consecutive weeks atop the charts, and subsequently toured across Korea and Southeast Asia to promote their music. In 2017, they released “Twicecoaster: Lane 2”. which contained the single “Knock Knock”. Their fame also reached Japan, and after signing a deal in the country, they worked on the compilation album “#Twice” before producing their fourth EP called “Signal”; Chaeyoung co-wrote one of its tracks called “Eye Eye Eyes”.

They then released their seventh EP called “Fancy You” and with its release, the group became the best-selling Korean girl group of all time, with over 3.75 million copies sold. Later in the year, their eighth EP called “Feel Special” was released, which contained the lead single of the same name. They have sold over a million albums for the past three consecutive years. They plan to hold a world tour in 2020.
Personal Life
Like many K-pop idols, Chaeyoung is single and is unlikely to have any romantic relationships soon.
This is because of the time constraints that she has due to work and the fact that relationships often have to be approved by management, as it can affect an idol’s overall image.
Out of all of Twice’s members, Chaeyoung is the one who enjoys sleeping the most. She also enjoys basketball and watching Disney films. She is close friends with Tzuyu, as the two are of the same age. Her favorite colors are purple and black. She prefers to rap, though the other Twice members attest to her singing abilities.
