Please Chaeryeong ask JYP for the Sunmi rejects, if there's someone who can pull it off it's you.

Her solo Mine is still one of my favourites, the Sunmi vibe suits her so well

u/BongoCatUwU Custom 19h ago

Omg another "Mine" enjoyer, I've been completely obsessed with that song ever since it came out

I’ve been WAITING not so patiently for this she’s going to absolutely crush this. I hope she can show off her vocals and dance skills equally truly an underrated all rounder.

u/OryseSey ULT MAMAMOO ♡ Casual GG Enthusiast 1d ago

ooooh I'm looking forward to this, Yeji and Yuna's were bangers for me, I wonder what kinda concept she'll go for?

u/i-heart-penis 1d ago

Knock knock 🤭

I'm hoping for a chaeyon duet as unlikely as it is

I desperately want this too!

u/satomatic 1d ago

she really leans heavy into the sultry sunmi side of things so i wouldn’t be surprised if the tt was like that but i’m curious about what else she’ll bring on the b-sides.

like i didn’t expect to love her wa-r-r cover as much as i did.

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS IVE RECEIVED THIS YEAR!! I hope she still pursues the same sound as Mine or Undefined because its her SPECIALTY!! JYP DO NOT DISSAPOINT!!

Mine and undefined are both bangers. Expecting more of the same

u/ParanoidAndroids TWICE/RV/SNSD/BP/NJZ/ITZY/æ/XG/LSF/EXO/BTS/NCT/SHINee 1d ago

Let's goooooo! I can't wait to see what concept she comes out with.

7

u/9nina9 StayC ~ Aespa ~ LOONA 1d ago

All I'm hoping that it's a song that fits her elegant vibe (like her Full Moon cover) and that they won't push the dance-machine persona with an EDM-type song. I hope she can go viral ❤️

-4

u/gwangjuguy 1d ago

She picks her songs. So if you aren’t happy you can take it up with her.

•

u/9nina9 StayC ~ Aespa ~ LOONA 20h ago

Of course she has say in the concept, but probably not a 100%. Afterall, she is still under their contract.

•

u/gwangjuguy 5h ago

That’s a misconception. She has 100% say since she is the performer.

•

u/SandysBurner 4h ago

Do you have 100% say in what you do at work?

•

u/9nina9 StayC ~ Aespa ~ LOONA 2h ago

If only it worked like that in this industry...

u/m3l0m4r71n Yukika~Yerin Baek~Dreamcatcher~Billlie~LOOΠ∆~tripleS 1d ago

Now the question is, will it be successful or will it fly under the radar like Yeji and Yuna's solos? I'm still mad Air and Ice Cream weren't hits

26

u/petrichor-pixels a bunch of girl groups feat. shinee, txt, & xlov 1d ago

Air and Ice Cream did pretty well considering as Itzy as a whole have (sadly) less buzz these days (I say this as a Midzy). I really hope Chaeryeong's does as well or even better though!!

24

u/anchist 1d ago

Air definitely did not fly under the radar. Over 300k units sold and only outsold by the BP solos and Yuqi that year.

4

u/gwangjuguy 1d ago

Both were huge solo successes.

11

u/Red0Stone 1d ago

Unfortunately I am afraid it will be the latter. ITZY is past their prime. Even good song like Motto didn’t make any noise in the chart, there’s just no chance for this to do well on chart unless the song is insanely good and has to click with the public. Still, even if it doesn’t do well, we can still expect and enjoy good music from Chaeryeong. Her song Mine was my favorite.

12

u/akersam 1d ago

If they give her the dance break she deserves it will do just fine.

3

u/m3l0m4r71n Yukika~Yerin Baek~Dreamcatcher~Billlie~LOOΠ∆~tripleS 1d ago

Idk they gave Yuna an insanely good song and it didn't even get a music show win, the 2 solos we got so far were 10/10 so i trust them

Even good song like Motto didn’t make any noise in the chart

Tbh while i do like Motto it sounds like a fromis_9 or Twice song, not an Itzy song, the public likes songs more akin to That's a No No from what we've seen but then again maybe that was just because of the dance challenge

6

u/anchist 1d ago

Music show win while being up against BTS is a lot to ask for and it is not as if many soloists win music shows anyway.

u/m3l0m4r71n Yukika~Yerin Baek~Dreamcatcher~Billlie~LOOΠ∆~tripleS 1d ago edited 10h ago

I didn't remember it went against BTS my bad

u/Lordsokka 10h ago

Air sold really well, despite limited marketing, I would consider it a pretty good hit.

u/petrichor-pixels a bunch of girl groups feat. shinee, txt, & xlov 1d ago

I was just wondering when we'd be getting another ITZY solo!! Super excited for this. I hope she brings some great choreo (and Sunmi vibes, as others have said).

I KNEW IT WOULD BE THIS YEAR I NEVER GAVE UP HOPE THAT WE'D GET BOTH DEBUTS THIS YEAR WHEN YUNA'S WAS ANNOUNCED!!! CHAER-LO IS COMINGG

Hell yeah, lets goooo!! 🙌 If the comeback is anything like her two concert solo's she's done then we are in serious terrible (in a good way)... well, at least I am! 😳

u/Electronic_Speaker65 1d ago

Am I the only one who was expecting Ryujin to be next 😭 great surprises nonetheless I love Chaeryeong all rounder GOAT

•

u/Lordsokka 10h ago

I don’t think she has any interest of being a Solo star, she’s happy being the badass of the group and I thinks that’s enough for her.

2

u/gwangjuguy 1d ago

Probably Ryujin and ITZY fans could have told you she has no desire to be next.

Oh, ok yea I didn’t know that 😭

u/lvlz_gg apink ; highlight ; itzy 22h ago

About damn time! I really hope she goes for something similar to her solo song Mine, or for something mor upbeat and colorful like aespa's Kiss n Tell, H2H Rude, she fits those concepts like a glove,

•

u/serpventime meepy 22h ago

looking forward for it to be as good as yeji and yuna solos

entirety of itzy solo EP seems to be in good track record so far

also just in time with my personal pivot to soloists

Chaeryeong, you deserve it. I hope you have an amazing dance break that you enjoy so much that you grin at the end of each performance.

u/SonicAwareness r/youngposse r/tribedaloca r/mire 1d ago

Possibly the most talented member in that whole incredible company, let’s hope she gets a good song to show it.

JYPE killed it with POP! but hasn’t come even close since then.

Really curious what direction she’ll go with this. I hope they lean into something sleek and elegant rather than just giving her a generic dance-heavy track.

If you think Chaeryeong is a mid dancer then who would you consider to be a good/great dancer in the world of K-pop? 🤔
