Cherry Filter (체리 필터) is a South Korean rock group formed in 1997. Their unique sound - consisting of emotional ballads, punk rock, rave and trance - prevalent in their last two albums has given them fame across South Korea. The song "낭만 고양이" (Nangman Goyang-i, "Romantic Cat") from the album Made In Korea made Cherry Filter famous.

When Cherry Filter was first formed, everyone was curious about the meaning of the name "Cherry Filter". Youjeen stated in an interview, she wanted a name that expressed both femininity and masculinity, a filter representing masculinity and the cherry representing femininity. The band includes Cho Youjeen as the vocalist - who branched off into a solo career for 2 years in Japan, then returned to Cherry Filter - Jojinbo on guitar, Yaenhead on bass, and Sonstar on drums.

Current members

Jung Woo-jin (born April 20, 1976) is the leader and the guitarist of the group. Yungeun (born September 21, 1976) plays the bass. Sonstar (born January 13, 1977) plays the drums and raps in several songs. Youjeen (born July 5, 1977) is Cherry Filter's vocalist.

Youjeen

In 2001, Youjeen temporarily left Cherry Filter to pursue a solo career in Japan, where she released music with the help of Luna Sea member J and former Foo Fighters guitarist Franz Stahl. She released five singles and two albums over the course of two years. After the release of her second Japanese album BEWITCH, through Teichiku Records, Youjeen ceased activities in the Japanese music scene. She is still active in South Korea as part of Cherry Filter.

In 2022, Youjeen featured on the single "Wild Flower" by RM of BTS, and earned her first entry on a Billboard chart when it debuted at number 83 on the Hot 100 in the United States.[1]
