ITZY’s Chaeryeong Reveals Surprising Image Management Habits Since Elementary School

Chaeryeong of ITZY shocked fans by revealing she’s been managing her image since childhood.

On June 5, Hyeri posted a video on her YouTube channel titled “Pride in Eating That Rivals Pringles… About a Whole Chicken and Meat Wraps.” In it, Chaeryeong caught attention by sharing her plans to pursue acting.

“If given the chance, I want to pursue acting and am preparing for it,” Chaeryeong said.

She also opened up about her intense mood swings and how she controls them.

“I tend to have intense mood swings, but I don’t express them. I’ve never lost my temper or raised my voice at anyone. I should be shouting, but I just can’t. At first, I couldn’t shout at all, and I realized I was really bad at it—it felt like bad acting,” she explained.

When Hyeri asked if she ever gets angry, Chaeryeong revealed her secret coping method.

“I silently curse to myself without others knowing. That helps me calm down a bit. I think, ‘They don’t know I’m thinking this,’ and keep a poker face, so I really don’t get angry,” she said, making Hyeri laugh.

Hyeri admitted her emotions show too easily on her face and joked about failing at image management. Chaeryeong surprised everyone by saying:

“I’ve been managing my image since elementary school.”

She explained the reason behind her early image control.

“When I was in sixth grade, I participated in the audition program K-pop Star. From then on, people recognized me, so I was careful about what I said and how I acted.”

Fans are now buzzing over Chaeryeong’s candid confession about her image and emotional control.
