• Lee Chaeyeon Shares Hair-Catching-Fire Story, Thanks Red Velvet's Seulgi for Help

    Lee Chaeyeon revealed a scary story about her hair catching fire.

    On July 14, Lee Chaeyeon was a guest on SBS PowerFM's 'Cultwo Show'. She's currently promoting her 3rd mini album 'SHOWDOWN'.

    Lee Chaeyeon talked about her recent activities, including her first solo fan meeting with her fan club CHAERISH and joining the SBS variety show 'Kick a Goal'.

    As the youngest member of FC Top Girl, she said, "I'm still a bench player," and added, "I still lack ball-handling skills, but I'm good in physical fights and persistence." She shared a sweet story, "Before games, the older members give me arginine and iron supplements."

    About her title song 'Don’t', Lee Chaeyeon said, "It's a 2-step dance song with phone vibrations and ringtones, making it familiar yet new." She explained, "It's about the duality of breakups that everyone has experienced."

    She added, "It's a message not to call someone," referring to the lyrics 'Don’t call me Charlie' in the song. "Charlie is another side of me, the dark and lonely Chaeyeon."

    Lee Chaeyeon, who helped with the songwriting and choreography, said, "I suggested the choreography where we cut the phone line." She was surprised by comments like, "Do phone lines still exist?" Even though she was born in 2000, she used a phone with a line as a kid.

    Audience reactions to the new choreography were positive, with comments like "It feels like watching the legendary dancer Kim Wan Sun," and "The song 'Don’t' keeps ringing in my ears."

    A fan of the Kia Tigers baseball team, she humorously said, "Between the Tigers winning the championship and 'Don’t' reaching number one on music shows, I choose the Tigers winning," adding, "I aim for digital chart success."

    As the MC of 'Insadong Sulji,' a show about enjoying alcohol for those who can't drink much, she explained, "It's about making drinking gatherings fun." She shared her concerns, saying, "I want to make people laugh and can't stand silence."

    Lee Chaeyeon revealed, "I can drink a bottle of wine over five hours, talking and sipping slowly." She shared how her hair caught fire while reading the menu in a dimly lit bar. Red Velvet's Seulgi, who was next to her, calmly put out the fire. She recalled, "At that moment, I thought, 'So this is how people die.'"

    When asked what song she would perform with her sister Chaeryeong, Lee Chaeyeon chose BoA's 'VALENTI.' She said, "You need to choose a song with a strong impact from the intro," showing her survival instincts from her time on survival programs.
