Chaeyoung participated in the reality television competition Sixteen in 2015.[6][7] As one of nine successful participants, she went on to join the newly formed girl group Twice.[6] On October 20, 2015, Twice officially debuted with the release of their first extended play The Story Begins.[8] In addition to her singing for the group, Chaeyoung is known for being one of Twice's rappers, along with fellow group members Dahyun and Momo.[1][4][5][6] Chaeyoung became the first member to receive writing credits when she wrote the rap verse for Twice's version of J.
