ITZY’s CHAERYEONG to Make a Comeback on November 9
November 2026 is bringing a new solo release from ITZY! CHAERYEONG will make her solo debut with her first mini album, “Lovesick,” on November 9, 2026, at 6 PM KST.
The announcement marks a new milestone for the JYP Entertainment artist, who debuted as a member of ITZY in 2019. Following YEJI and YUNA, CHAERYEONG will become the third ITZY member to officially debut as a solo artist.
With a four-track album, a story-driven trailer, and CHAERYEONG’s participation in songwriting, “Lovesick” is one of the November K-pop releases to keep an eye on.
1. CHAERYEONG – “Lovesick”
Release Date: November 9, 2026
CHAERYEONG’s first solo mini album, “Lovesick,” will be released on November 9 at 6 PM KST, along with the music video for its title track of the same name.
JYP Entertainment revealed the album’s official trailer, tracklist, and promotional schedule on October 19, giving fans their first look at CHAERYEONG’s solo project.
The album contains four tracks:
- Lovesick
- Moonlit Club
- Scent
- Favorite Reason
CHAERYEONG also participated in writing the lyrics for “Favorite Reason,” marking her contribution to the album’s creative process.
As her first official solo mini album, “Lovesick” gives CHAERYEONG an opportunity to present her musical identity outside of ITZY’s group releases.
A Story-Driven Concept for “Lovesick”
The official trailer introduces CHAERYEONG as someone who remains indifferent to almost everything happening around her. Whether faced with a birthday cake, a winning lottery ticket, a noisy neighbor, or unexpected chaos at home, she appears largely unfazed.
That changes when she unexpectedly falls in love with something—or someone—that captures her attention.
The trailer presents the story in a book-like format, using narration and a series of unusual situations to build curiosity around the album’s concept. However, the identity of the object of her affection has not been revealed in the initial teaser.
Rather than assuming a specific storyline beyond the trailer, fans can look forward to discovering how the concept develops through the upcoming promotional photos and music video teasers.
CHAERYEONG Becomes ITZY’s Third Soloist
CHAERYEONG debuted with ITZY in February 2019. The group is known for songs including “DALLA DALLA,” “WANNABE,” and “LOCO.”
Before CHAERYEONG’s solo debut, YEJI released her solo EP “AIR” in March 2025, while YUNA made her solo debut with “Ice Cream” in March 2026.
CHAERYEONG’s “Lovesick” therefore marks the next individual music project from an ITZY member, allowing fans to explore a different side of the group’s artistry.
Known for her dancing and stage presence, CHAERYEONG has also demonstrated her vocal abilities and variety-show personality throughout her career. Her first solo album will introduce how those strengths translate into a project released under her own name.
What’s Next Before the Release?
JYP Entertainment has announced a promotional schedule leading up to the November 9 release. Fans can expect additional concept content and music video teasers before the album arrives.
CHAERYEONG is also scheduled to hold a countdown live at 5 PM KST on November 9, one hour before the album’s official release.
The confirmed schedule is:
- November 9, 5 PM KST: Countdown live

Fans should follow ITZY’s official channels for the latest updates and the full promotional schedule.
November 2026 K-Pop Release to Watch

The release is particularly notable for ITZY fans, as CHAERYEONG becomes the group’s third member to launch an official solo career after YEJI and YUNA.
