Kep1er’s Chaehyun: Journey on Mnet’s Girls Planet 999
The word to describe Kim Chae-hyun when she appeared on Mnet’s Girls Planet 999 was “Shinchan.” It is also said that she is good at mimicking Shinchan’s vocal cords, and her voice comes out when the tension is high. Kim Chae-hyun has white skin and a cute and lovely rabbit-like visual. Her eyes are also round and deep, giving them a rabbit-like feel, and it is said that it goes well with both bright and innocent images and dark vibes really well. Her skin tone is very white. Kim Chae-hyun’s visual looks similar to some Korean celebrities such as Red Velvet’s Irene and Wendy, Seo Hyun-jin, Taeyeon, G-Friend’s Yerin, and Han So-hee. In fact, there is also a nickname referring to her as Little Han So-hee. She has a careful personality and is very strict with herself, and she is especially good at organizing and taking care of her surroundings. It was said that when she was an SM trainee, she treated new trainees really softly and kindly. Also, on Mnet’s Girls Planet 999, the Yes or Yes team took care of foreign participants and made time for the team members to get to know each other, and as a result, they created a better stage and brought benefits.
However, during practice, she changed 180 degrees, and she said that she took the practice seriously and decisively. As a participant with personality, visuals, and skills, there were many expectations that she would unconditionally debut on Mnet’s Girls Planet 999, and, in fact, she debuted as a final contestant. She has excellent vocal skills and has a high vocal range. The part that shows the most strength among them is the tone. During the airing of Mnet’s Girls Planet 999, she was promoted as a tone fairy. She is very good at using falsetto and has a high vocal range so she always took on important vocal parts. A notable example is Kim Chae-hyun’s part during the Combination Mission. All the other participants and masters were impressed, and they showed a technique that was as excellent as the timbre, going back and forth between falsetto and true voice. However, the pressure of being a trainee at the time and the stage being evaluated for debut would have disappeared, so there is a high possibility of further growth. Nothing has been decided exactly, but it is expected that she will be the main vocalist in the future girl group.
