Lee Chae Young is a South Korean singer, dancer and member of FROMIS_9 (프로미스나인). She graduated from Hanlim Entertainment Arts High School.

In 2017, she participated in the singing survival show "Idol School", where she ranked in 4th place and earned a spot in the resulting group.

She officially debuted in January 2018 as FROMIS_9's main dancer, lead rapper and vocalist with their first EP, "To. Heart", which landed in 4th place on the Gaon Album Chart.

In September 2018, Stone Music Entertainment (스톤뮤직엔터테인먼트) confirmed that the group would be managed by their newly created label, Off the Record Entertainment (오프더레코드엔터테인먼트), with Pledis Entertainment (플레디스 엔터테인먼트) in charge of the creative direction and the production of the group's music. The move was heavily criticized by fans as they felt the group was neglected in terms of promotions and releases compared to the other group managed by Off the Record, IZ*ONE.

In August 2021, the group fully transferred to Pledis after Off the Record re-organized. This generated more criticism as Pledis has a history of mismanaging girl groups and hindering their development. In June 2023, she was part of the group's first studio album, "Unlock My World".

In November 2024, Pledis announced that her exclusive contract would officially expire at the end of the year. In January 2025, she and 4 of the remaining 8 members signed with ASND (어센드) to continue promoting as part of the group. However, the use of the name FROMIS_9 is still under discussion with their former agency.
