Chaewon (LE SSERAFIM) Before debut

Chaewon was born on August 1, 2000.

She has been interested in singing since she was a student at Seoul Poei Elementary School and participated in the 2012 KBS Creative Children’s Song Contest as a member of the “Poicho Choir” when she was in the 6th grade of elementary school.

She used to sing at home alone, even in junior high school!

After graduating from Kowloon Middle School, she went to Kaepo High School.

While in school, she joined the Youth Red Cross, a service club.

After becoming a high school student, she dropped out of Kaepo High School to become a full-fledged Idol.

She then entered the performing arts department of Hallym Performing Arts High School, which has produced many entertainers.

After multiple auditions, she was accepted by the entertainment agency Woollim Entertainment. She will be a trainee for about 11 months.

She appeared on the Korean music channel Mnet’s audition program “PRODUCE 48,” held for about six months starting April 11, 2018.

She placed 6th in the Visual Center, was promoted by the trainees, and was selected as a debut member with a final ranking of 10th.

On July 4, 2018, she appeared at the beginning of the music video for “Let Me” by Golden Child, a senior office member. At the time, Blonde had long hair.

Debuted with IZ*ONE

While attending high school, Chaewon debuted as a Japan-Korea collaborative group IZ*ONE member on October 29, 2018.

She graduated from the Performing Arts Department of Hallym Performing Arts High School in February 2019.

IZ*ONE’s charter stipulated that the group’s activity period would be two years and six months from its formation, so its activities ended on April 29, 2021, as scheduled. The group has disbanded.

She will return to Woollim Entertainment as a trainee.

Re-debut at LE SSERAFIM

On August 17, 2021, it was rumored that Source Music would adopt Chaewon as their new girl group.

Woollim Entertainment subsequently removed her profile from its official website.

On March 14, 2022, it was announced that Source Music had signed Chaewon and Sakura, a former member of IZ*ONE, to debut as the next girl group.

Then on May 2, LE SSERAFIM will debut again with their mini-album Fearless.

She was under much pressure at this time as this was her second debut.

Chaewon (LE SSERAFIM) Position

Chaewon (LE SSERAFIM) is Leader

In the age order of LE SSERAFIM members, the oldest is Sakura, followed by Chaewon.

In the Korean idol world, when the oldest team member is a pure foreigner, the leader is often assigned to a Korean member familiar with the Korean language and culture.

That is the case with LE SSERAFIM, and Chaewon is the leader of LE SSERAFIM.

She is very experienced, having been with IZ*ONE for two years and six months.

In an interview, Sakura said she was surprised to see a significant change in Chaewon’s attitude between her IZ*ONE days and when she became LE SSERAFIM’s leader.

During IZ*ONE’s time, they had older sisters and a leader, so Chaewon did not lead the practice.

But in LE SSERAFIM, she changed her position to lead the practice process as a leader.

Sakura says she feels charmed about her as a leader.

Chaewon, on the other hand, wants to be friends with the members and also wants to be a leader who can be relied on.

Chaewon (LE SSERAFIM) Vocal

It holds the leading vocal position.

It is said to have a clear and audible tone.

Hence her nickname, the tone fairy.

If the main vocalist Huh Yun-jin has a powerful voice, Chaewon has a calm and relaxed voice.

She can sing dance songs with a strong beat, but her vocal strengths emerge when she sings ballads with gentle accompaniment.

Because of her broad range, she was given solo parts in many songs during her time at IZ*ONE and was said to be a member with excellent vocal abilities.

Chaewon (LE SSERAFIM) Dance Styles

Although Chaewon is often noted for his vocals, she is also known for his dancing.

She has been praised for her ability to dance to the song’s beat. She also performs songs that require powerful dance lines.

She can handle delicate choreography, such as isolation, with natural flexibility.

When she was active in IZ*ONE, she played the central role in the last chorus part in front of the two highly skilled leading dancers.

Her soft dance line is one of her characteristics, but the fine details make her stand out even more.

The bottom line is that she can adapt to everything, be it soft choreography or powerful dancing!

She says she is not as confident in her dancing as in her vocals, but she is such a good dancer that some of LE SSERAFIM’s fans rank her dancing skills among the high.

Chaewon (LE SSERAFIM) Character

According to her alum testimonies and appearance at Produce 48, she was an expressionless type who did not have many emotional ups and downs and did not express herself very much.

However, she was secretly a good-natured person who would make little smiling reactions in the background.

She has a positive outlook on everything, is unafraid to try new things, and is always up for a challenge.

She says she enjoys discovering how she is changing through these challenges.

When she debuted with IZ*ONE, she said that hearing the reaction, “You are different from the Kim Chae-won I know,” was what she wanted to listen to the most.

It seems that her personality has changed somewhat while working with IZ*ONE.

The most important reason was that her roommate in the dormitory changed to Choi Yeena.

Influenced by IZ*ONE’s top idol, she became more talkative.

It is said that she started to express herself loudly during practice and received applause from the members.

She began responding to pranks and jokes from the members with a tragic sense of humor, and his jokingly snappy scenes became more noticeable, which can be seen as an angry personality.

It is well known that Chaewon does not show tears.

Kwon Eun Bi, the leader of IZ*ONE, once revealed, “I can’t count the number of times Chaewon has cried.”

There was also a project to make Chaewon cry on an idol entertainment program, but it failed at every turn.

I feel something like Chae-won’s core strength.

Chaewon (LE SSERAFIM) Visual

She was ranked 6th out of 96 trainees in a poll of the Top 11 best visuals chosen by the 5th-term students of Produce 48.

Yoo Min Young commented, “Her face is a mixture of cuteness and beauty,” Moeaki Goto said, “I thought it was foul to be so cute.

In particular, there were rave reviews of Chaewon’s eyes.

Kim Yubin, Kim Soo Yoon, and others said, “The color of her eyes is beautiful,” “Her eyes are like deer’s eyes,” and “Her eyes are sparkling.

During the Produce 48 photoshoot, Chaewon was the member who showed the most variety of hairstyles. The image changes entirely depending on the styling.

In particular, there is a big difference between the two styles, with and without bangs, with the raised version highlighting her round face shape and clean forehead.

She made a comeback with short hair in BLOOM*IZ, which made a huge impact.

It looked so good that fans at home and abroad reacted and recorded many views.

She once won first place in the female idol poll for the best short hair in the Starplay application, held from October 22 to November 5, 2020.

Chaewon also debuted with short hair in LE SSERAFIM.

She mentions that short hair looks good on her as one of the advantages of her hairstyle.

When the teaser video for FEARLESS was released, some said that her short hair matched the group’s concept and that she looked more beautiful than before.

She has a slimmer figure, but compared to the other members of LE SSERAFIM, she looks healthy and unbeatable. She is toned.

Fans were also surprised to see LE SSERAFIM’s Kim Chae-won, unlike IZ*ONE’s Kim Chae-won.

This is because she came from a girl group with a concept that emphasizes healthy beauty.

I feel that she has made a great effort.

On February 16, 2023, Chaewon was selected as the Korean ambassador for the French cosmetic brand “MAKE UP FOR EVER”.

Regarding the reason for choosing the brand as an ambassador, the Korean vice president said, “Chaewon’s imposing charm and fearless challenge fit well with the brand identity of constantly innovating and challenging for better products, so I chose her. I was selected as a brand ambassador.”

Although not noticeable from a distance, she has a small scar on the top of her lip. She says the spot was made when she played with a dog as a child.

Chaewon has peculiar habits and poses. One of her most distinctive poses is the pose in which she raises the claws of both hands as if she were a ferocious beast baring its fangs. He first showed it during Produce 48 and liked it so much that he shows it occasionally.

She has a habit of shadowboxing when she is in a good mood or feels like a fighter.

Other unique movements include tilting her head while looking at the camera with a sad expression and finger-eye contact poses.

She is good at the long jump. In response to the question, “If you were to become an athlete, what kind of event would you be?” in one of her projects, she answered the long jump.

Starting in 2022, her clothing style changed from neat to hip.

On October 19, 2022, the ANTIFRAGILE schedule scheduled at the time was postponed due to a doctor’s diagnosis that she suffered minor muscle pain and bruises and needed medical treatment for the time being as a result of a vehicle collision in which she was riding with Yunjin. She then resumed his activities on October 23, 2022.

Her motto at LE SSERAFIM is “Never afraid of change.”

Summary

How was it?

It is a tough job to lead LE SSERAFIM, a high-profile group.

I hope to see more of Chae-won’s leadership in the future.
