glad to hear that! thanks for the info pinklegirl!
after reading this, I'm more excited than ever waiting for her 4th album
I hope it will be sooo muchh better than her previous album
I agree, they should have put more effort on her 3rd album, but I think her 3rd album is good too!



Whattt??? seung gi is on Kang team?? why noww??!



I heard she's reallyy big in korea?



Yeah I guess she's not as well known as hyori internationally
but she has lotttsss of fans in china n other asia countries
in this thread too.. most of us aren't korean.. rite?

Jenna, ur observation is absolutely right.. i think because she is the type of easy going and fun to be with, made her more popular than the rest... and i noticed, most guys like her.. she is like the star of LL and Xman.. i am also the hardcore of CY.. kinda addicted to Youtube because of her as well.. she is the first female korean singer that i like..

LOL
I can't remember when or how exactly I became a fan
but I remember watching her "two of us" video
and thought how prettyyyy and sexy and daring it is
then I realised she's the girl I saw on x-man (the christmas eps)
as I watched more x-man and LL eps (I was addicted) I grew to love her!!

second album fosho(:
it was sad when she left xman...=(

muchlove!
-jisoo

just to add a few more to cutegurl's caps

Chae Yeon & Kang In


Chae Yeon & Hwanhee


Chae Yeon & Brian <333333

uhm.. didnt know how i started to like her...
i think the 1st time i saw her was the LL epi with kyung hoon. she was soo cute!!! i love her smile straight away.
then i continued to watch LL and XMAN. like her more n more..
she is very easy going and bright person. i guess tats why i like her =)

d@rn.. the xman epi this week is really boring.. T_T
i kept yawning for the 1st 15 minutes already.. T_T

guys...lets think of it this way, if LSG & CY were in the same team, then, the cute couple pics tat cam3n posted up will never happen... coz i am sure, if they have a love line... they'll get paired everytime.

then our CUTE JUNCHAE WILL NEVER HAPPPEENNN!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
junchae yeonsu junyeon chaesu!! wahahahahhah XD
and kangin couple... eer... briyeon couple.. yeoni couple.. dayeon couple.. wat else?! O_O

^true! true! true!
and we'd probably get tired of them (wouldn't want tht to happen!)
I think shing made a good point here hahaha

besides, chae yeon and seung gi coupled once in LL
and she kissed his cheek!!

How i started liking her...

it's started back in 2005... jan... or feb

my friend asked me to download chaeyeon perf as much as i can since internet in Thailand was extremely slow. So yeah... I started by download her 2nd album comback special on SBS on Dec 14, which is my birthday!!!, (i still remember these details). After I wathed it, i thought that she was good. So I download all her albums, and I love her songs so much!! Then, after i'd download more and more, I didn't even know that i started to addicted to her (only watched performances not shows). Many concerts or music shows, i download in 2005, had chae yeon without knowing (all those time i told myself that i like her, not that I'm crazy about her). After her 3rd album, i just realized that she was everything and she is every where in my computer (i.e my pictures, my musics, my vidoes, etc.) And I can't stop watching her... Why it take me such a long time to realize...

Oh yeah.. the first show that i download because of her was happy share company (VS Hwan Hee)

so no one answered me question yet hehe i think
does cy have an official homepage? i couldnt find one..i mean she HAS to have one..shes a popular entertainer in korea..how can her company not give her one?

^she used to have one when she was with "CJ medialine" but then, the company changes its name or something... there is no longer her site or even her company site

or
i don't even know her and her company official website

edit: just go check
her first 2 albums are under CJ medialine but her 3rd and best&figure are under 예전미디어. However, all singers under CJ Medialine are under 예전미디어 too (like lee jung, his 1st and 2nd are under CJ medialine, but his 3rd under 예전미디어 as well as clon 5th)

edit 2:
I had found only her company club: http://club.cyworld.nate.com/club/main/clu...ub_id=51030681#
it's medialine
it's so weird that her album is under 예전미디어 but her company is medialine
maybe medialine is a sub company of 예전미디어

gaahh so sad she's not on love letter this week.. to be fought over by Brian and Seungki xD pwahahaha. can't wait for her 4th album thou <3

^^LoL. I was kinda the same in a sense that i told myself i only like her, not that i'm crazy about her. When I realized I continue to watch xman w/o my favorite people, I tell myself it's cause i natually enjoy xman. Then I started to log all my xman episodes with descriptions to remember the episodes; and I realized that all the episodes had something to do with her. So after that, I finally admit that I'm pretty crazy about her. ^-^

it's last sunday dangyunhaji - Shinji vs Kim Kyung Rok
chae yeon was mantioned in this (used as attack)

it would be real funny if someone had a banner that read "briyeon" at the chusok thing.

How I became a fan of Chae Yeon....

I am Korean American and I was a huge fan of k-pop and K-dramas since the year 2000, so I've been listening to k-pop music for a while.... I borrowed Inkigayo and k-dramas every week in my local korean video store, now turned into a korean dvd store. But anyways, I was watching Inkigayo and I usually forward all of the unknown artists, and just watch the famous singers' performances... I know that's bad, and I should give newbies a chance... if they catch my eye, I do watch them occasionally, but very rarely.

To be honest, Chae Yeon's performance of 'Two of Us' caught my eye, because I thought, "woah! that girl looks like Paris Hilton, who is she, and what's her name?" And then I ended up watched the whole performance, and thought her song was pretty catchy too. My sister and I talked about how she had potential and she's a pretty good performer. My cousin was also watching the performance with us, disagreed saying she is such a Hyori wannabe.... In a month, her song was hitting #1 on the charts, and it was hard not to know who she was if you were a k-pop fan, especially with the scandalous video that everyone knew about. Me and my sister were like "I told you so" to my cousin! I thought she was pretty and talented, but I didn't become a fan until I saw her in Love Letter and X-man... I loved her cute and charming personality. I also saw the Manwonae Hengbok with CY vs. Hwanhee. I ended up buying her 2nd album in 'Morning Glory' and I loved it! So then I really became her fan and I've been her fan ever since!

thx wwwa for the youtube link~

since some of u guys are mentioning how u guys became Chae Yeon's fans, i'll mention mine as well ..


first... like around end of 2004, i somehow just randomly downloaded some songs from a forum and got Chae Yeon's "Two of Us" song and i really like it...it has a nice beat and vibe to it..

at that time, i didn't know who she is ... i even saw some ppl post pics of Chae Yeon in soompi but it's all sexy pics of her and so i just scan through her...thinking she's sort of too revealing... i didn't even know she was the one that sang the song that i like

i didn't really hv any intentions of searching her up or anything .. but then by coincidence i downloaded some clips from soompi of artists' performance in InkiGayo.. and it had her in it and it is then i know who she is, and that she's the girl who sang that song



my first impression was: i thought she's around 22 yrs old and her dancing is pretty good but a bit stiff compared to Hyori.. i thought she sang pretty good .. sounded like the original song .. however, because i thought that she was so young.. i thought maybe she's those singers that can sing at average level.. like HongKong young singers who can't really sing that well

then i downloaded SBS X-Man #50 Ep. 111 (2005.12.18) cuz at that time i started to like DBSK and this x-man episode had Yunho in it .... i noticed Chae Yeon .. and i thought the "Of COurse Game" with Chae Yeon and Kim Jong Kook was very touching ~



plus i thought she had a great smile and looked cute especially in the pink dress

then i started to download more of her X-man episodes and her performances

like everyone else .. at first i thought i like Chae Yeon but Not technically a fan of hers .. (just like how i like Hyori but not a fan of Hyori's)... and at first i thought i like Hyori more than Chae Yeon but later i noticed that i start to search for CY's stuff and search her under google and looking for sites of hers....while i never really search Hyori's stuff before ..=

sorry for my long essay .. so that's how i became CY's fan,.. now i thought she has a great voice but Not much ppl notice that she can really sing... she has a great personality and smile ~~

hey guys, I just found this on z-degrees.net

They always put out a list of upcoming albums and I found Chae Yeon on the list.

January 2007
12.?? Chae Yeon Vol.4

It's under January but they list it as December. Let's hope it does come out in December, ^^. I really want her to release her album before all the awards so she can perform on them ^^.

I think that if CY doesn't release her album, by this year... she will still perform in the awards, because even though her 3rd album came out in Nov. 2005, her 2nd single 'Third Love' came out in early 2006. Besides she won all her awards in 2005 on her 2nd album. I also think that CY's 3rd album did well enough to come out in the award shows.

When she is in the voting polls for the nominations, all of us definitely have to vote for her and support her!!!

Thanks wwwa. I just watched it. lmao, chae yeon is probably knocked down from that attack too. I never knew KKR is 24, he looks younger.



Of course she's got my vote. Just tell me when she's on the poll

^ Ok, don't worry.... I will.

ahahhah XD
i'm glad someone tot of this the same way i did.
i was just thinking, if they were in the same team, all the couples pics and the coupling tat we loved will never happen...
then T_T my junchae moment wont even happen... ahah XD
and the kibum chae yeon couple too.. muahaahah XD

i saw in z-degrees tat she'll release in dec, but am not sure though.
nevermind, i'll just keep waiting <3
but meantime, i'd really like to see her... *sigh* on variety shows or sth.. but.. yeah.. she wan to concentrate on her album so.... T_T i miss her lots already... T_T

december? that's kind of fast..it takes months to record an albuma nd now she's weight training and taking vocal, dance lessons..wouldn't it need more time..i want her to take more time! to make her comeback more anticipated...

maybe it's a mistake, cuz it would be too soon, rite?



If you see one... that would be me!



when is it.. the award shows?
I'd most definitely vote for her

mirae-chan: I LOVE ur banner!! briyeon!!

I agree!!
Her comeback would be more anticipated, and her album will probably turn out better if it isn't so rushed. Besides all of the newspaper articles about her leaving x-man said that the company is planning her 4th album to be in early 2007, so I don't think she'll come back so soon, unless her company changed their minds.... are their any actual articles that say so?



Most of the music awards come up at the end of this nov. to the middle of december, usually....
So the votes for the nominations should be pretty soon, like beginning to november.

Just tell me too when and where to vote.. i am missing her soo much in variety shows and right now, i am searching of all her appearance in Xman and LL from youtube....

Chae Yeon, AJA AJA FIGHTING!!

i wanna join to vote for her too!!
fighting!!!!!!! XD

Friends..

just to check with u guys.. do u know any fanfix that have chae yeon in it? i want to read fanfix of CY with any of hot guys..

^ Really?? There are fan fics with Chae Yeon? I want to read it, too!!! Sounds interesting....
I thought only guy celebs had fan fics... lol


You know what I noticed about most of Chae Yeon's fans here.... is that they are mostly girls!! LOL.... its funny, becuase in Korea more than 90% of her fans are guys, but its the opposite here!

Maybe its because most Soompiers in general are female. At least in this section I think....

I guess it's cause Soompiers are generally female. ^^ But think of it this way, for every one of us, there's like 9 guys drooling over her. LOL

So I was Youtubing for Chae Yeon stuff (which is hard since her name pops up with variety shows like xman and loveletter). It was hard to come across performances but I stumbled upon this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=UreqW6FPT0I

You guys probably already saw it. But I haven't seen much of her performances. I've only mostly watch her through her MV and variety shows. Well, I thought she looked really nice in it.

Also, I'm wondering, which Chae Yeon performance is your favorite?

I am a girl.. and i like her the most.. i mean she is the only korean female singer that i like.. so far, her performance that i like was when she dance at the award show.. i can't remember which award.. i think the gasoo daesang award 2005.. she is soooo gorgeous and cool!!.. and for the dance battle for xman, i like the hainan.. where her dance was sooo powerful, even seung gi was a bit goo goo gaa gaa over her...

Here is a list my favorite performances by Chae Yeon in youtube:


2nd Album Performances:

Two of Us - Performance on Music Core (Special Performance with Racing Girl Theme)
Two of Us - Performance on KBS Music Awards
Two of Us and Dagawa - Perf on 'I love Jeju' Concert (The Infamous Performance where CY dances with Andy)



3rd Album Performances:

Only You - Performance on Inkigayo (Rock Version)
Only You (Remix) - Performance on Music Core (X-mas Special; guest singer dances with CY)
Only You (Remix) - Performance on Inkigayo
Third Love - Performance on Inkigayo
Third Love - Performance on Inkigayo
Third Love - Performance on Inkigayo
Only You and Third Love - Goodbye Perf on Inkigayo (CY's Special GoodBye Performance)



I already posted them... a few pages earlier.... maybe you missed them. They are all my favorites!!!!

^^ Thanks for those links. I'll watch them later in the morning when i'm more sane



LOL, doesn't Lee Seung Ki normally go goo goo gaa gaa over her? I mean, they always show him when Chae Yeon is dancing. And I'll see his eyes on her.

I was rewatching Love Letter S2 Ep.30-31 (the one with the ChaeYeon-Hwanhee-HyeBin-Brian). It made me miss Briyeon. But at the same time, I don't understand Briyeon. Like how Brian, as a player he is, has to couple up with Chae Yeon even though her expressions clearly show that she wants Hwanhee. Yet as much as she wants Hwanhee, she always leave him for Brian at the end. Then we get those inbetween Briyeons where Brian continues to flirt with her. He even gave her that USB drive. And then S3 happens and they don't even flirt or talk much to each other on stage. I guess their romance isn't that scripted so additional stuff happens between them off stage? (Like their relationship-ish looks too complicated for the normal scripted loveline.) I hope I'm making sense here

^When chae yeon was dancing, I think seung gi didn't even blink once
didn't want to waste any moment (learned this from eagle eye Jong soo)

about briyeon thing, that is why I want to see more of them
they leave the whole briyeon thing unfinished



try the fanfic forum
