this was on my csat day    
even\!    
before handing in my phone when i entered the classroom    
i thought, i have to capture this moment    
i’ll reveal this to my fans one day    
so i took one with my mask on  
click, just in case    
but then i thought, might as well show my face    
so i secretly pulled it down and took another    
then handed in my phone right away ㅋㅋㅋㅋ    
anyway it was csat with nothing to do with college\!\! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ    
the reason i took csat was    
it’s something you can’t experience outside of this age    
csat, you know    
one of my motto is  
half of life is memories   
i’m a person who values experience    
so i took csat ㅎㅎ    
“but csat is doable at any age…? “   
you can't take it as an active student unless you're 19 ㅋㅋ  
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ i wanted to take csat in my school uniform  
i even packed tteokbokki to give out afterwards    
guess i really wanted to experience it    
it was indeed meaningless… but just    
i wanted to experience what csat was    
so i took it haha    
if you want to feel the vibe of that day, i recommend watching my csat signal ㅎㅎ    
🌊🌊"why would it be meaningless..”    
i didn’t do it for college….    
if you look at it from another perspective    
me taking it    
lays groundwork?    
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ    
but i got everything right on the english listening section    
even if it was meaningless    
just experiencing csat made me happy    
***\*photo***    
this one    
was taken on the way back to the dorm    
after going to practice right after csat ended    
so it’s also csat day    
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 2 years ago    
title for that side mirror selfie:    
i took csat todayㅋ    
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ    
i’m spilling more behind-the-scenes info    
“did you sit through the entire csat?”    
yes, stayed till the end    
^^ my manager even asked    
why.. did you stay until the end, and i said    
i just wanted to experience the whole thing..    
so did you answer everything?    
yes i did    
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ honestly\!    
i didn’t answer what i didn’t know    
only answered what i knew    
there were things i knew    
for korean, i did the reading part    
answered what i knew    
and that day    
i went all out with makeup    
wore a school uniform and duffel coat    
it was chaos    
everyone else who came for csat    
came in with comfortable clothes  
no makeup    
in that exam room,  
in that classroom,    
i was the only one    
wearing makeup,    
wearing my school’s uniform,    
and with a duffle coat on top    
everyone kept staring at me    
but i didn’t care    
thinking  
yeah. i’m kim chaeyeon.    
who came to take csat just to experience it    
i sat down with that mindset    
my desk was the very last row    
so before handing in my phone i thought, i have to capture this moment    
i need to show my fans\!\!\!\!\!\! and secretly took a pic    
to keep it silent, instead of the regular app    
i used snow? some filter app to take it    
so the picture might look a bit funny, sorry 🥺    
i even pulled down my mask secretly to show my face    
“gotta show the face..\!”    
so i took those two selcas carefully before csat and handed in my phone ㅎㅎ    
i still remember how everyone stared at me    
guess i was a bit much… also    
i dropped my eraser at one point    
but i’d read somewhere    
not to pick it up\!\!\!\!    
picked it up during break\!\!\!\!\!\!\!    
brought an extra eraser just in case i didn’t pick it up\!\!\!\!\!\!\!    
i took csat to experience it, but    
i didn’t want to be labeled as a cheater…    
you all love that secretly-taken pic i posted on sns    
i’ll send more of those pics another time    
since it’s csat d-1   
posted a photo and shared some behind-the-scenes csat stories    
if there’s anyone taking csat here    
this is my strong support to you from me who y/n likes ☺️
