Chungha lived in Dallas, Texas for eight years before returning to South Korea to become a singer. As a result, she is able to speak both English and Korean. She auditioned for YG Entertainment and was a former JYP Entertainment trainee[3] before joining M&H Entertainment in 2016. She had trained for three years before debuting, and had been dancing for 6–7 years.
On December 21, M&H Entertainment confirmed that Kim Chung-ha will be debuting as a solo artist in the beginning of 2017 after wrapping up I.O.I's promotions. On April 21, 2017, Chungha released "월화수목금토일 (Week)" as a pre-release single for her debut album. On June 7, she released her first extended play Hands On Me. The title track "Why Don't You Know (feat. 넉살)" is a tropical house song about unrequited love. The mini peaked at #8 on the Gaon Albums Chart.
Over the course of the last few months of 2017, Chungha teased her second extended play. On January 17, 2018, she released her second extended play OFFSET and title track "Roller Coaster".

색다른 걸 내게 줄래
시간은 충분해 감춰둔 널 꺼내
너는 망설였지 always
내가 먼저 보낸 message
You gotta lead your way
And you will be OK
익숙해진 밤은 colors of blue
가리워진 너를 그려 beautiful
어둠보다 빛나 넌 it is true
번져버린 하늘 ready to move
던져버려 멀리 뒤섞인 춤까지
Show me your love
Chica chica sí
You've got it all
Chica chica sí
You're beautiful (hahaha)
Let it all out
Let your feelings out
Let the world know
What your all about (sí)
Chica chica sí

내게 다가와줘 closer
계속 연주해줘 play up
이 순간 영원해
Fantastic, 모든 게
넌 내게 기대했던 말들
찾지 못한 표정 too bad
You might get overwhelmed
And you will learn from them
이젠 기다려 시간의 끝을
익숙해진 밤은 colors of blue
가리워진 너를 그려 beautiful
어둠보다 빛나 넌 it is true
번져버린 하늘 ready to move
던져버려 멀리 뒤섞인 춤까지
Show me your love

What a queen, the fact she said this song is dedicated to young predebut Chungha from the Chungha today, says how ambitious she was, how much stress she went through but never lost the confidence in herself.
I'm so proud of you Kim Chungha, from being 4th in P101 to becoming the main dancer in I.O.I to becoming the one of greatest soloist of 3rd gen Kpop, your hardwork really payed. I wish you become one of the greatest soloist Kpop ever had and be remembered as legendary Kim Chungha.
