In June of this year, Chaeryeong from ITZY had a busy year with the mini-album 'Girls Will Be Girls' and 'TUNNEL VISION' in November, and she released a gravure and interview through the January issue of 'SINGLES'. In the released gravure, Chaeryeong showcased her diverse charms, from a cute and bright appearance to a chic atmosphere, which is different from her intense performances on stage. In the following interview, she revealed that she has become less afraid of new challenges than before and conveyed that the gravure shoot was a work filled with the willingness to show a special side that is not usually her. Regarding the mini-album, she said it was the result of challenging new beats and performances while considering ITZY's identity, and she worked hard to incorporate her unique charm into the concept. Reflecting on the moment they won first place on a music program, she said, 'When I thought about the feelings of the fans who worked hard to give us first place, I felt grateful and sorry.' She explained that the teamwork of ITZY, now in their seventh year since debut, has become stronger through honest dialogue and feedback among the members. When asked about future challenges, she stated, 'If given the opportunity for solo activities, I want to challenge a concept that can best showcase Chaeryeong herself, especially a stage where the dance line stands out,' showing her desire to expand her activities into various fields such as songwriting, composing, vocals, acting, and variety shows. Finally, Chaeryeong expressed her deep affection for fans, MIDZY, the members, and her family, saying, 'I want to write the second act of ITZY with more love.' She also revealed her wish to not miss the fun and happiness of the moment rather than just pursuing results. More of Chaeryeong's gravure and interview can be found in the January issue of 'SINGLES' and on the official website. ITZY re-signed with their agency JYP Entertainment as they approach their seventh anniversary in September this year.
