ITZY’s Chaeryeong revealed that she let her sexy charm come out to her heart’s content. On the afternoon of the 9th, a press talk commemorating the release of Chaeryeong’s solo debut album “Lovesick” was held at the Pullman Ambassador Seoul Eastpole in Gwangjin District, Seoul. Regarding the difference between group activities in ITZY and solo work, Chaeryeong candidly said, “Before preparing the solo album, I started thinking it would be quite different from ITZY, but more than I thought, I had challenged various genres and concepts as ITZY. Thanks to that, I think I was able to find relatively easily that ‘when I do this, I can shine a little more and do it well.’” She continued, “Still, if there is a difference, as ITZY, because balance and harmony among the members are important, I had been holding back my dance lines and ‘sharpness’ a little. But this time, I prepared excitedly, tilting my neck to my heart’s content and shaking my hair around.” When the MC asked, “Are you going to unleash the sharpness you had been hiding?”, she laughed and replied, “The next day, my neck was stiff. I shook my hair too many times.” She then added, “You will also be able to see feather-like dance movements, and I think you will be able to see a powerful side as well.” In addition, Chaeryeong also mentioned her role models. When asked which artist she wanted to surpass as a solo singer, she answered, “There are many seniors who are doing wonderfully as solo artists. Out of respect, I have also covered senior Sunmi and senior Gain. Going even further back than that, I also like seniors who have been active for a long time, and I am still learning from them.” She continued, “There is one thing I can be sure of. I don’t think I can beat producer Park Jinyoung. I have watched him closely all along, and I feel that he is truly admirable and a wonderful person, so I often think about whether I could live as diligently as he does,” but added, “Still, I want to try my best.” The following related articles were listed: “ITZY Chaeryeong confirms solo debut on November 9!
