Career.
2007–2012: Career beginnings.
In a 2007 episode of the SBS variety show "Amazing Contest Star King", Baek performed "Listen" by Beyoncé and was labeled a "contemporary R&B genius". Baek Ye-rin, who appeared on the stage as a "10-year-old ballad genius", surprised the cast and viewers. After her "Star King" appearance, Baek decided to audition for JYP Entertainment. She performed "Listen" on the audition day, and later won the second place, behind only 2PM's Jang Woo-young. She spent five years (2007–2012) training in South Korea and the United States, and was called a "genius girl" for her vocal talent, skills in using the piano and fluency in the English language.
On September 27, 2012, JYP revealed Baek would debut as part of a duo along with Park Ji-min called 15&. On October 7, the duo debuted with their first single, "I Dream", on SBS "Inkigayo". The duo began a four-year hiatus in February 2015 and disbanded following Park's departure from JYP Entertainment.
2015–2016: Solo debut and EPs releases.
In 2015, she planned a solo album for the music style she pursued and met Cloud, a producer of CHEEZE. At the first meeting, Baek Yerin did not know Cloud, but he said that he was a fan of Baek Yerin, and later he was able to meet her with the introduction of his agency. In November 2015, Baek debuted as a solo artist with her first extended play, "Frank", with the lead single titled "Across the Universe". She named her album title as a tribute to Amy Winehouse, whose debut album shared the same name. The lead song's lyrics were inspired by the film "The Martian".
Baek released her first digital single titled "Bye Bye My Blue" on June 20, 2016. Her follow-up digital single titled "Love You on Christmas" was released on December 7.
2018–present: Formation their own label, "Every letter I sent you" and "tellusboutyourself".
As Baek continued to feature on songs by popular artists, she also began performing covers and her own unreleased songs at festivals. In 2018, she formed 'The Volunteers' with independent rock band Bye Bye Badman, including the release of their English-language, post-grunge rock EP "Vanity & People".
Baek released her second mini-album, "Our Love Is Great", on March 18, 2019. The following day, her title track "Maybe It's Not Our Fault" went to the top of all eight domestic music sites' realtime charts.
On September 13, 2019, Baek announced her contract with JYP Entertainment had finished, and that she was leaving to create her own independent record label, Blue Vinyl. The label was launched on November 6, and on November 22 she released her first single on Blue Vinyl, "Popo (How Deep Is Your Love)""." In the build up to Baek's new album, it was revealed that songs which had previously been released on her SoundCloud would feature on the new release, as well as new, never-heard-before tracks.
On February 2020, her first solo concert, "Turn on that Blue Vinyl", was a success. As tickets for about 4,400 seats were sold out in 30 seconds, it is an example of how Baek Yerin's reputation is clearly different from before.
On December 10, Baek released the first studio album and first double album "Every letter I sent you." with 17 out of the 18 songs being written in English. Her next single "Square (2017)" also made Baek the first South Korean artist to top charts with a song in English. The track went on to score an 'all kill', where an artist tops the daily and realtime charts of Melon, Genie, Bugs, and Soribada; and the realtime charts of Flo and iChart. As well as "Square (2017)" finding success, the album also topped charts in South Korea.
On December 10, 2020, exactly one year after her previous album, Baek Yerin released her second studio album "tellusboutyourself", consisting of 14 tracks. The first single "0415" also came with a music video on the same day.
