Chaeryeong of the group ITZY shared her thoughts on her solo comeback.

On the afternoon of the 9th, a showcase was held at the Pullman Ambassador Seoul East Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, to mark the release of Chaeryeong's solo debut album, "Lovesick."

On this day, Chaeryeong introduced herself as a "budding solo artist" and stated, "This is my first solo album after seven years since my debut. I thought it was not too late to show a sufficient image as ITZY and then present my individual side."

She added, "I have become a bit more relaxed than seven years ago, and my tastes seem to have become clearer. Since I am the third member to come out solo from ITZY, I wanted to show what makes me different from the members. ITZY's strength is said to be 'five members, five colors,' so I made efforts and deliberated on how to show a side that differs from my members."

Regarding her strengths, she said, "I thought ITZY and I would be very different, but it turned out we challenged various genres and concepts. Thanks to that, I realized what makes me shine and do well. When doing ITZY, harmony and balance are important, so I hid my dance lines or what is called 'jjo-ra' (a specific dance move). But this time, I prepared energetically, freely tilting my head."

Meanwhile, Chaeryeong's first mini-album, "Lovesick," will be released on the 9th through various music streaming sites.
