Chaeyoung added that she will continue with her activities with TWICE.

"I hope both Chaeyoung of TWICE and Chaeyoung in LIL FANTASY can continue to create music that brings meaning to you as well," the rapper continued.

"This is a new challenge for me, and I promise to keep growing into an even better person and artist."

This news comes three days after fellow TWICE member Jeongyeon said goodbye to JYP Entertainment on Aug. 10.

She also assured that she would remain part of the girl group in her statement.

"Although I’m moving to a new home and beginning a new challenge, TWICE, which is the greatest center of my life, will remain unchanged just as it is now. As a member of TWICE, standing in front of ONCE will always be my first priority," Jeongyeon said.

TWICE debuted under JYP Entertainment in 2015 with members Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu.

They are known for their hits What Is Love?, Fancy, Strategy, Cheer Up, and This Is For.
