South Korean singer-songwriter Yerin Baek has released three studio albums, four extended plays (one remix EP and one cover EP), one live vinyl album, and several singles (including 15 as a featured artist). Baek has also participated in three soundtracks for television series.
Baek's solo career started with the release of her first extended play, Frank (2015), during the hiatus of her vocal duo 15&. Prior to and after the release of her EP, she was featured in multiple singles by different South Korean rappers, all of which peaked at number one on digital charts.
In 2016, Baek released her digital singles, "Bye Bye My Blue", and "Love You on Christmas". In 2018, she formed The Volunteers with members of the independent rock band Bye Bye Badman.
Baek released her second extended play, Our Love Is Great (2019), which won the Album of the Year and Best Pop Album at the 2020 Korean Music Awards, along with the lead track "Maybe It's Not Our Fault" winning Best Pop Song. Following Baek's end of contract with JYP, the vocal duo 15& officially disbanded and she continued with her solo career, releasing her first studio album Every Letter I Sent You (2019), a double album under her own independent label, Blue Vinyl. The album had 17 out of 18 songs sung in English, and it included the track "Square (2017)" which was a hot topic when a fan-taken performance of the song was uploaded to YouTube in 2017. The track became the first English single by a South Korean artist to top the charts. Baek was awarded Best Pop Album for Every Letter I Sent You at the 2021 Korean Music Awards.
One year after her first studio album, Baek released her second studio album Tellusboutyourself (2020). Six remixed tracks from the album were released through her third EP (and first remix EP), Tellusboutyourself Remixes (2021). She also released her fourth EP (and first cover EP), Love, Yerin (2021) on the same year.
In 2022, Baek released the digital single "Pisces".
In 2023, Baek released the digital single "New Year".
In 2025, Baek released the digital single "I Met Peejay".
Baek released her third studio album, Flash and Core(2025). It is her first studio album in about five years since her second studio album Tellusboutyourself (2020), with a total of 15 tracks.
