Mini bio
How it started.
Hwang Ye-ji grew up in Jeonju and joined JYP Entertainment as a trainee in 2015. Before debut, she appeared on SBS’s The Fan in 2018. She became ITZY’s leader as the group debuted in 2019 with DALLA DALLA.
Finding her own voice.
Alongside ITZY, YEJI built a solo body of work through dance performances, a Bebe Rexha collaboration with RYUJIN, and Crown On My Head. For that solo track on BORN TO BE, she received both composition and lyric credits.
A first album of her own.
AIR arrived on March 10, 2025, with four tracks and YEJI’s lyric contribution to the synth-pop title song. In her interview with CNA Lifestyle, she described learning to carry an album with her own energy. ITZY’s members supported the video shoot with a food truck and a visit.
Still growing with ITZY.
Her group work continued through Girls Will Be Girls, Collector and TUNNEL VISION. In 2026, Motto brought her tour solo Pocket to an album release.
