Career

In 2016, the eSports game Battle of Balls hosted a girl group contest offering a 2000 RMB salary with accommodation and meals.
Yang was voted to be the most popular contestant during the contest and began her idol trainee career along with ten other contestants.{{cite web|script-title=zh:2016球球宝贝总决赛圆满落幕|url=http://m.qieyou.com/qqdzz/201611/23246_2.html|website=切游网 (Qieyou.com)|date=November 27, 2016|language=zh|access-date=August 4, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180802041125/http://m.qieyou.com/qqdzz/201611/23246_2.html|archive-date=August 2, 2018|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=CH2高校偶像女团诞生 互动养成由你参与|url=http://dj.sina.com.cn/article/fycaafm5455824.shtml|website=Sina|language=zh|date=March 7, 2017|access-date=August 4, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180623222142/http://dj.sina.com.cn/article/fycaafm5455824.shtml|archive-date=June 23, 2018|url-status=live}}
In 2017, eight of the trainees formed the girl group CH2.{{cite web |title=CH2高校偶像女团介绍 |url=http://www.ch2.cn/index.php?m=home&c=home&a=about |website=CH2官方网站 |access-date=August 2, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180719040025/http://www.ch2.cn/index.php?m=home&c=home&a=about |archive-date=July 19, 2018 |url-status=dead }}
Due to Wenlan Culture's video game industry background and the lack of a dedicated performance theater, Chaoyue did not receive proper training; instead, her jobs were mostly involved in promoting video games at various events.{{cite news |title=中国女团爆发前传：一部"虚假繁荣"史 |url=http://cj.sina.com.cn/articles/view/2903002881/ad084f0101900a58x |work=Sina |date=June 11, 2018 |access-date=August 29, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180814040305/http://cj.sina.com.cn/articles/view/2903002881/ad084f0101900a58x |archive-date=August 14, 2018 |url-status=live }}

Controversy
Despite her poor performance during the evaluation stage in Produce 101, Show Lo commented that Yang Chaoyue has a feel which will naturally appeal to viewers. Tao wanted to give her a spot in A class; however, following Ella Chen's suggestion, Chaoyue ended up being assigned into C class. When the first episode was aired, Chaoyue soon gained a huge popularity and was voted into A class. This resulted in debate and put her on multiple Weibo trending topics.{{cite web |title=Chinese Netizens Divided Over Singing Cinderella |url=https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1002468/chinese-netizens-divided-over-singing-cinderella |website=Sixth Tone |language=en |date=June 15, 2018 |access-date=August 4, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180808234110/https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1002468/chinese-netizens-divided-over-singing-cinderella |archive-date=August 8, 2018 |url-status=live }}{{cite web|script-title=zh:支持101女孩的明星：杨超越只有颖儿支持，而王菊就不同了|url=https://new.qq.com/omn/20180610/20180610A0TXBI.html|website=Tencent|date=June 10, 2018|language=zh|access-date=August 4, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180802071605/https://new.qq.com/omn/20180610/20180610A0TXBI.html|archive-date=August 2, 2018|url-status=live}}{{cite web |script-title=zh:创造101评级连连看 第1期评级表演II |url=http://v.qq.com/x/cover/xrtfv7c0qn9cl92.html?vid=z0026kbp8zw |website=Tencent |date=April 22, 2018 |language=zh |access-date=August 4, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180802102122/https://v.qq.com/x/cover/xrtfv7c0qn9cl92.html?vid=z0026kbp8zw |archive-date=August 2, 2018 |url-status=live }}{{cite news |title=Singing competition contestant under fire for 'poor performance' |url=http://www.sino-us.com/120/10570696637.html |publisher=Sino-US |date=June 13, 2018 |access-date=August 4, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180808234007/http://www.sino-us.com/120/10570696637.html |archive-date=August 8, 2018 |url-status=dead }} Finally, hateful comments emerged all around Weibo, degrading her stage performances and her personality, and turned into a widespread case of cyberbullying.{{cite web|url=http://www.bjnews.com.cn/opinion/2018/06/25/492519.html|title=杨超越捅了社会达尔文主义者的"马蜂窝"|website=新京报|date=June 2, 2018|access-date=March 27, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180704213051/http://www.bjnews.com.cn/opinion/2018/06/25/492519.html|archive-date=July 4, 2018|url-status=live}}{{cite web |title=《創造101》孟美岐爆哭奪冠 楊超越出道遭酸侮辱人！ |url=http://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20180624000762-260404 |website=Chinatimes |date=June 2, 2018|access-date=March 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180807002016/http://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20180624000762-260404 |archive-date=August 7, 2018 |url-status=live }} After finishing third in the final episode, Chaoyue was once again the most-searched topic on Weibo and was a trending keyword on Baidu, China's largest search engine.{{cite news |title="火箭少女101"成团出道 杨超越又"爆"热搜 |url=http://ent.people.com.cn/n1/2018/0625/c1012-30083381.html |agency=People's Daily Online |date=June 2, 2018|access-date=March 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190226121711/http://ent.people.com.cn/n1/2018/0625/c1012-30083381.html |archive-date=February 26, 2019 |url-status=live }}
