BIOGRAPHY
Park Chaeyoung was self-taught on guitar and singing in church choirs in Melbourne before being discovered at a YG Australia open audition in 2012. She moved alone to Seoul at 15, not yet fluent in Korean, and trained for four years. Her distinctive voice — bright and airy in its upper register, raw and emotional at full volume — became BLACKPINK's sonic signature. Her solo album 'rosie' (2024) and the Bruno Mars collaboration 'APT.' made her the first BLACKPINK member to achieve a major Western pop crossover.
Guitar, songwriting (she co-wrote several tracks on rosie), cooking, interior design, and reading contemporary literary fiction.
