y/n
i just arrived in japan and went straight to the practice room
so i’m only contacting you now 🥺
have you been waiting for iseul noona
jjanggu
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
everyone’s really
curious about my roommate
at first, there were rumors it was chaeyonetone,
but that was fake news
it’s been decided,
for this japan schedule
my roommate is shion
the member who wanted to room with me… ㅋ there were quite a few
jiwoo is, well, obviously
yooyeon unnie too
soomsoomie too
ㅋ
but the japan schedule this time
is pretty packed,
so i don’t think i’ll have time to go shopping
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠㅠ
actually there’s nothing to buy
ㅇㅇ how packed is it, you ask? as packed as the thickness of my hair
but if i go back to japan, i do have a vague idea of what i’d buy
first, a rose hair oil, which is my favorite scent…
and fabric softener
these two are must-buys
canmake powder and
if there’s any cosmetics i like, i want to buy them\!
butt soap?
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ i already bought that a long time ago
i think i got about 4
i bought them during mezamashi
i don’t remember
i bought them as gifts for acquaintances
gave one to my makeup artist ssaem
one to my sister
kept one for myself
and one as a spare
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
anyway… right now i’m
resting with a face mask on
i had warm green tea today
oi ocha? green tea?
you know, the famous one
*🗣️: i think green tea tastes better warm*
since i have a mask on,
my mouth doesn’t open well
shion is showering right now ㅋㅋ
“it’s funny that chaeng is in japan… “
right? i’m
in japan…..
ohayou\~
“you said you’d cover your favorite song at the japan fancon?”
? that’s not it\!
favorite song?\!
nani?\!
i
only found out
when we started practicing the cover song\!
the cover song is
hmm ㅋ
you might hear
my high notes?
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
aing
embarrassing
what japanese song suits me?
niㅡㅏ
*🗣️: i am i am a star(eng). Now it's the beginning. I am a shining stage. I am a star\~ (some kr song i think)*
*🗣️: anyone know this?*
my mouth won’t open
i should hold back
oho
i’ll look them all up
*🗣️: actually, there's a song i'm really into these days*
*🗣️: \*singing \<waveway \- say my name\>”*
nemonemo is good too
\*(voice memo) x5
*🗣️: \<nemonemo \- yena\>*
*🗣️: “i want to hear chaeyeon sing a ballad”*
*🗣️: aside from aria, i used to sing taeyeon sunbaenim's "if" a lot when i was a trainee*
*🗣️: “if” is not a song that i chose because i liked it, i think "if" was always on the list of songs that our teachers recommended for lessons*
*🗣️: kim chaeyeon, i thought of a cover song, tripleS 24 ikkeullimeun keep i gammiroun- \*laugh*
*🗣️: did you type all these lyrics in korean? that’s cute. like this?*
*🗣️: then I’ll sing it for you while wearing a face mask*
*🗣️: my pronunciation and diction might not be great since i can’t open my mouth properly*
*🗣️: \<24 \- tripleS\>*
it’s shouldn’t be this kind of vibe
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
i don’t know if japan is cold right now,
but during the day,
it felt kind of chilly?
*🗣️: are you curious about my experience?*
*🗣️: ah, i really want to go to fukuoka. i really want to go*
*🗣️: actually, i want to visit all of japan*
*🗣️: i want to go to nagoya too*
*🗣️: and tokyo and osaka—i've always wanted to go there*
*🗣️: what was it back then?*
*🗣️: before i did tripleS, the places i visited in japan were tokyo, osaka, and nagoya. just those three*
*🗣️: i went to each of them once—tokyo once, osaka once, and nagoya once*
*🗣️: but then, after starting triples, i began going to japan more frequently—not super often, but still quite a bit.*
*🗣️: wait, what am i saying?*
*🗣️: anyway, i think i've been to tokyo and osaka a lot recently*
*🗣️: but where else have i been? ah, i don't know*
*🗣️: oh, right—shinjuku. i've been to shinjuku*
*🗣️: i also want to go on a hot spring trip*
*🗣️: among the things i’ve done in japan are wearing a kimono and visiting hot springs*
*🗣️: i want to go to an outdoor hot spring*
*🗣️: i really want to wear a kimono too*
*🗣️: so, i feel like i wouldn't be able to do it while following a schedule, but maybe i could go later, during a vacation or a trip*
*🗣️: but if i end up visiting for work, we could also shoot some content where i wear a kimono and visit a hot spring*
*🗣️: then we could film it while having fun and show it to everyone.*
*🗣️: yup\!*
why do people love
slightly raspy voice so much
right now it’s a little hoarse
*🗣️: but you all really like my voice, right?*
*🗣️: even now, you're talking about my voice, and i'm talking about japan, kimonos, hot springs, but the only thing you're mentioning is my voice TT*
*🗣️: here's a surprising fact—well, not that surprising—I don't think my voice is that pretty*
*🗣️: but since it's not a common voice, you can tell it's me, kim chaeyeon, just by my voice, and i like that part*
*🗣️: but when i think of a voice and go, "oh, that's beautiful," mine doesn't fit that*
*🗣️: i do like that it's recognizable as "oh, that's chaeyeon," but my standard for a truly beautiful voice is someone like rosé sunbaenim*
*🗣️: her husky voice was great back then and still is now*
*🗣️: but for those who’ve seen me since i was young, you’d know how my voice sounded when i was in middle school*
*🗣️: back then, it was huskier than now because i had vocal cord nodules, and it was pretty severe*
*🗣️: so it was that scratchy voice, like the edges of a young voice mixed with the effects of nodules*
*🗣️: it was at its worst back then*
*🗣️: but as i got to second and third year of middle school, the nodules got a lot better*
*🗣️: now, i'm living quite normally*
*🗣️: they say vocal cord nodules can’t be cured, but as long as you take good care of them, it’s not a problem*
*🗣️: apparently, you just carry it with you for life*
*🗣️: but my voice has definitely matured compared to before*
*🗣️: how can you tell?*
*🗣️: you can just listen to the song*
*🗣️: if you listen to my songs from busters and then compare them to tripleS songs, my voice is different*
*🗣️: omo omo*
*🗣️: wow, look how much older i sound*
*🗣️: it’s that kind of feeling*
*🗣️: now i have to take off my face mask and go to sleep*
*🗣️: this is normally the time i go to bed really early, like today. i have to wake up early too*
*🗣️: but actually, i didn’t even wake up early this morning*
*🗣️: i stayed up all night, went to the salon, and then went straight to the airport*
*🗣️: i’m so sleepy because i couldn’t sleep at all*
*🗣️: i’m not someone who usually sleeps a lot*
*🗣️: or maybe i am*
*🗣️: i guess i just take short naps*
*🗣️: yeah, i sleep every time i get in a car*
*🗣️: but when i’m at home or in the dorms, lying in bed at night and waking up in the morning, my sleep time isn’t that long*
*🗣️: i’m not someone who sleeps in late*
*🗣️: but today, i need sleep*
*🗣️: i am deep sleep*
*🗣️: yeah*
*🗣️: how do you... how do you... how do you need sleep*
actually, during practice earlier today, i felt a bit dizzy,
so one of the staff members checked on me and
***\*photo***
bought me warm green tea and a tonic?
even though they must have been busy, they went to a convenience store and pharmacy nearby
to get them for me 🥺
when i felt the warm green tea in my hand,
i was so grateful and sorry
i drank the tonic? energy supplement? and rested during the travel time
they told me to rest my eyes for a bit
ㅠㅠ i’m so touched
and\!
no, but i’m not sick
i think the dizziness was just because i hadn’t slept
it wasn’t anything serious, but they still went to the pharmacy and convenience store to get me these things, and it was so moving 🥹
***\*photo***
this selfie is from when i just got into the car after arriving in japan
i was so thirsty, and as soon as i got water, i took this selfie
i sent it to my mom along with a message saying,
“i arrived in japan”
my mom’s reply:
“did you get any sleep? how’s your condition?
you look pretty by the way.”
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“i’ve always thought this, but doesn’t chaeng look amazing in biker jackets? black leather suits you so well”
thanks for recognizing my style 😎
but honestly, i don’t wear a lot of streetwear or hip outfits……
i love outerwear
like i always say,
coats
mustang jackets
leather jackets
biker jackets
“so chaeng is eoljugko or eoljugpae”
*(t/n: eoljugko \= 얼죽코 \= even if I freeze to death, a coat*
*eoljugpae \= 얼죽패 \= rven if I freeze to death, fashion*
*see the picture below for references)*
**![][image1]**
eoljugko, but wouldn’t padding stop me from freezing?
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
even if I freeze to death, a coat
why does everyone want to freeze?
don’t do that
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
eoljugko vs eoljugpae
coat vs koatone
why am i laughing so much at my selfie with water
actually, since boarding the plane at gimpo airport
and during the flight,
i was so thirsty
i told myself, “i need to drink water\~,” but
as soon as the plane took off,
i passed out
then woke up upon landing
i slept straight through and forgot about being thirsty
but when we got to the airport, the thirst hit me again
just as my manager handed me water
i was like
kyaaa\! mizuuuuuda\!
kyaaa
77yaaaaa
and before drinking it,
click
i took the selfie ㅎㅎ
then drank it
had warm green tea too\~
now i’m going to
coco nenene
oyassumsumi
*🗣️: oyachaeyeon \*laugh*
*🗣️: oyachaeyeonasai\~*
*🗣️: minasan, everyone everyone*
*🗣️: thank you for your good works (jp)*
*🗣️: i… really… wav minasan… i want to meet you all (jp)*
*🗣️: ah i don’t know*
*🗣️: i love you\~*
私も 사랑해 *(i love you too)*
💓🩷💖💗💕
ah but at gimpo airport, my mustang jacket
i should’ve zipped it up all the way
it would have looked prettier that way
*🗣️: um oyasuminasai\~ \*muah*
like in the photo
zipping it all the way up makes the mustang jacket look better
ugh i’ll stop
it’s already in the past, chaeyeon
let it go chaeyeon
what’s gone is gone kim chaeyeon
write a new history
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
i’m going to sleep
look at my photo one more time
today’s mission
🥸💖
love you
*i love you (jp)*
❤️
