Lee Chaeyeon: Chaeryeong ITZY's older sister, IZ*ONE's dance machine, career

As talented as it is, IZ*ONE's once-popular dance machine had a very difficult career after the group officially disbanded. With Chaeyeon's abilities, she should have deserved to be known and liked more.

Lee Chaeyeon was born on January 11, 2000. Having shown a passion for singing and dancing since childhood, Chaeyeon has constantly practiced with the dream of becoming an idol singer. She and her sister Lee Chaeryeong (now part of ITZY) sought debut opportunities by entering entertainment companies.

When they were 10 years old, the sisters auditioned for Fantagio Music but were not selected. In 2014, the duo Chaeyeon and Chaeryeong continued to try out at the Kpop Star season 3 contest but were also eliminated from the early rounds.

Despite being eliminated from the K-pop Star show, another opportunity opened up for both sisters. JYP President saw the growth potential of Chaeyeon and Chaeryeong, accepting both of them as trainees of this leading K-pop company.

Seemingly predestined for survival shows, Chaeyeon and Chaeryeong continued to have to go through the show Sixteen – where the TWICE girl group lineup was selected in 2015. At this time, Chaeyeon has matured a lot in terms of appearance and skills, especially noted for her top jumping moves Sixteen.

Unfortunately, luck continued not to smile on Chaeyeon, who missed her debut spot with TWICE when she was eliminated from round 2.

In 2016, if Chaeryeong's younger brother stayed at JYP and rehearsed with his future debut with ITZY, Chaeyeon decided to leave the company and move to WM Entertainment. This is considered a reckless decision of Chaeyeon to end his relationship with JYP to join a small company, WM. However, many sources claim that this is a tacit contract between JYP and the two sisters, that only 1 of them can stay, so Chaeyeon chose to leave.

After 2 years of internship at the new company, Chaeyeon continued to try out for another survival show, Produce 48 (the 3rd season of the hit series Produce 101 ). With her skills and experience in "fighting" many survival shows, Chaeyeon immediately impressed the judges as well as other contestants right from the first round of judging.

However, Chaeyeon continues to have to go through a breathtaking "voting war" at the final. The group IZ*ONE consists of 12 members, 11 members are named without Chaeyeon. She was in the top 4 contestants competing for the final debut. The 4 names competing for this position are all trainees who should have been called early: Chaeyeon, Miho Miyazaki, Lee Kaeun (After School), Han Chowon (CUBE). Luckily, Chaeyeon was named as the 12th member of IZ*ONE.

Finally, after months of rolling on idol shows, Chaeyeon became a piece of IZ*ONE. Chaeyeon takes on the role of main dancer, in addition to singing and rapping. Through her time with IZ*ONE, Chaeyeon continues to prove her dance strengths, being considered one of the most talented main dancers in the new generation of K-pop.

After IZ*ONE disbanded in 2020, Chaeyeon was one of the most popular members of the group, thus receiving great attention from fans about their next solo activities. With her skillful dancing talent along with a stable voice, the idol is expected by many Kpop fans to shine in her own way soon.

Instead of immediately debuting solo or acting in a new group, Chaeyeon chose to participate in a Mnet contest. Good at dancing, but when it came to the contest of professional dancers, Street Woman Fighter, Chaeyeon became completely weak. She constantly loses to other strong opponents and appears many times on the show with crying scenes.

Despite receiving negative opinions and stereotypes about an idol going to a professional dance show, Chaeyeon still kept a strong spirit, did not give up and showed off her signature dance moves at Street Woman Fighter.

After that competition, Lee Chaeyeon officially started his solo career, releasing his debut product on October 12, 2022. The idol has completely "transformed", getting rid of the previous feminine and stylish image but instead the image of a beautiful, mature, disruptive lady who dares to try new things. Not stopping there, the melody of the song is also extremely catchy and shows off many of Lee Chaeyeon's skills.

However, Chaeyeon's solo career did not seem to have positive results when the singer's products did not make a strong impression on the audience. This made fans feel very sad and sorry for the hardworking girl's cheat.

Moreover, now that Chaeryeong is becoming more successful and known for working with ITZY, Chaeyeon is still floating on his career. This makes fans feel sour, moreover, she has been compared to her sister many times in a poor way.

Chaeyeon possesses a beauty that is not too beautiful but good-looking and has her own personality, but besides that, she has also received many criticisms about her appearance. This caused Chaeyeon to become guilty and she decided to touch the cutlery, restoring her beauty with plastic surgery.

Unfortunately, this is not the look that fans want. Many people who love Chaeyeon are very sorry when she chooses to edit, but still respect and continue to support Chaeyeon. Hopefully, with her talent, Chaeyeon will soon find a worthy place.
