Chung Ha

Chung Ha, a former I.O.I member, has built the most internationally successful solo career of any Korean female artist outside of BLACKPINK's individual activities, with her Latin-influenced 2020 single "Stay Tonight" charting in Spain's top 30 and Mexico's radio playlists—a reach that outperforms #1 IU's global chart presence in non-Asian markets. Her 2021 album "Querencia" received 15 reviews from international music media, becoming the most-reviewed Korean solo female release of that year, and featured 21 tracks that blend pop, EDM, and Latin sounds. Chung Ha's dance choreography is studied by trainees across Asia, and she commands 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, more than Sunmi's 1.8 million as of 2026.
