Background

Son Chae-young, also known as Chaeyoung, was born in Seoul, South Korea, on April 23, 1999. Her parents and younger brother, Son Jeong-hoon, make up her family. She received her secondary education at Hanlim Multi Art School, where she graduated on February 11, 2019. Chaeyoung first auditioned for JYP Entertainment as a trainee when she was 14 years old and was accepted after two rounds of auditions. She began her career as a vocalist, but soon after, began training to become a rapper.

In 2015, Chaeyoung competed in the reality television show “Sixteen.” She went on to join the newly formed girl group Twice as one of nine successful contestants. Twice made their official debut on October 20, 2015, with the publication of their first extended play, “The Story Begins.” In addition to her singing for the group, Chaeyoung is recognized for being one of Twice’s rappers, alongside fellow members Dahyun and Momo. Chaeyoung made history as the first member to receive writing credit when she wrote the rap line for Twice’s cover of J. Y. Park’s ‘Precious Love’ for their 2016 album “Page Two.” Since then, Chaeyoung has contributed to the lyrics of several Twice songs. As a solo project, Chaeyoung covered Cheeze’s ‘Alone.’ Chaeyoung collaborated with Frants on the track “How U Doin'” from Twice’s second Japanese studio album, Twice, making her the first member to do so. She also designed three distinct pairs of SPRIS shoes, as well as the group’s limited edition Page Two album cover.

Chaeyoung is a quiet individual who lives a low-key life. She is now single and is concentrating on her career and improving her abilities. Even though she has not revealed her previous relationship experience, she has stated that her ideal type is “someone who takes care of me as well as someone who genuinely cares about me and is well-dressed.”
