CHAERYEONG SOLO DEBUT | 'Lovesick' OFFICIAL TRAILER

In the Korean comments

Two commenters independently imagine Chaeryeong following a Sunmi-like path: one predicts she will “blow up as a soloist, like Sunmi,” while another describes her as potentially occupying “the Sunmi position” by realizing her full potential solo. Another top comment comes from someone who says they are not even a huge ITZY fan but is unexpectedly excited for the debut.

What the words mean

괜히 응원하게 됨 (gwaenhi eungwonhage doem) literally says, “I end up rooting for her for no particular reason.” Here, 괜히 (gwaenhi) does not dismiss that support as pointless; it affectionately conveys that the commenter feels instinctively drawn to root for Chaeryeong and cannot quite explain why.
