ITZY’s Chaeryeong Set to Make Solo Debut in November
ITZY’s Chaeryeong Reportedly Preparing for Solo Debut in November
ITZY’s Chaeryeong is reportedly preparing to make her solo debut in November 2026, according to recent reports.
If confirmed, the upcoming release would mark Chaeryeong’s official solo debut and make her the third ITZY member to release music as a solo artist, following Yeji and Yuna.
However, as of August 27, 2026, JYP Entertainment has not publicly announced an official release date or detailed schedule for Chaeryeong’s solo debut. Therefore, the November timing should currently be treated as a reported plan rather than an officially confirmed release date.
Chaeryeong Is Reportedly Preparing for Her Solo Debut
According to reports published on August 27, Chaeryeong is currently in the final stages of preparation for her solo debut and is reportedly scheduled to film her music video soon.
The reports indicate that her solo debut is planned for November 2026.
At this point, however, details such as the exact release date, album format, title track, and tracklist have not been officially revealed.
The Third ITZY Member to Go Solo
If the November release goes ahead, Chaeryeong would become the third member of ITZY to make an official solo debut.
The first was Yeji, who released her solo debut album “AIR” in March 2025.
She was followed by Yuna, who made her solo debut with her first album “Ice Cream” in March 2026. JYP Entertainment confirmed Yuna's solo album preparations in January 2026, with the album subsequently released on March 23.
Chaeryeong would therefore be the third member of the five-member group to officially launch a solo music career.
Chaeryeong Already Showed Her Solo Potential
Chaeryeong has previously showcased a solo performance through ITZY's activities.
For the group's 2026 mini album “Motto,” all five members were given individual tracks that had originally been performed as solo stages during the group's TUNNEL VISION tour.
Chaeryeong's solo track was “Undefined.” The Motto album also included Yeji's “Pocket,” Lia's “Asylum,” Ryujin's “LOOK,” and Yuna's “Tangerine.”
This gave fans an opportunity to hear Chaeryeong's individual musical color before an official solo debut.
From ITZY Member to Solo Artist
Chaeryeong debuted as a member of ITZY in February 2019, alongside Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, and Yuna.
Since debut, she has been particularly recognized for her dancing and stage performances. She has also participated in individual performances and songwriting-related activities as part of ITZY's wider discography.
Her potential solo debut would give her an opportunity to further develop her own musical identity outside of ITZY's group releases.
ITZY Continues Group Activities
Importantly, Chaeryeong's reported solo debut does not mean that she is leaving ITZY.
ITZY continues to operate as a five-member group consisting of Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, and Yuna. The group released its 12th mini album “Motto” on May 18, 2026, approximately six months after TUNNEL VISION.
The members have also continued their group activities alongside their individual projects.
Final Thoughts
ITZY's Chaeryeong is reportedly preparing for her solo debut in November 2026, with reports stating that she is currently in the final stages of preparation and is expected to film her music video soon.
If the reported schedule is confirmed, Chaeryeong will become the third ITZY member to make an official solo debut, following Yeji and Yuna.
For now, fans will have to wait for JYP Entertainment's official announcement for the exact release date, album details, and promotional schedule.
