ah wait

i'll text you after it's over
y/n get some rest
**08:56 PM KST**
lesson’s over\!
starting babble time now
ha first of all, i looked so pretty today
i liked how i looked
but my intro one-shot…
was shot from kinda below
we did two prerecordings
i didn’t look at the camera the first time
but i did the second time
after the first prerecording, when we were monitoring,
the PD was like, “chaeyeon, this is the intro
the very beginning, so you have to look at the camera”
so i made sure to look during the second one
but ughhh when we monitored it after everything,
the version from the first prerecord (the one where i didn’t look at the camera)
came out way prettier 🥲
and the camera-looking version… didn’t look good to me
but anyway, they told me to look at the camera for music core
so the version they’ll air is def the second one… ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
i’ve come to terms with it
so the intro chaeyeon from the first prerecord
was only seen by wav who were at the scene
and the monitor screen ㅋㅋ
“the music core solo fancam came out nice though”
ah i just watched it
looks like it’s from the first prerecord
you can tell because i’m looking straight ahead at the start
if it were the second one, i’d be looking down to the left
anyway
y/n
if you’re curious about first prerecord intro chaeyeon…
go watch today’s fancam…
it’s really a hinguri-pongpong kind of situation *(t/n: hingguri-pongpong \= sad)*
it’s like murphy’s law hit me today
after the prerecord
i was monitoring with yooyeon unnie
and i told her how i liked the first one better
but the one with the camera look is the second, so that’ll air, etc etc
and she was like
“i knew you avoided the camera on purpose”
she caught on right away ㅋㅋㅋ
she was like “you’re not the type to miss it by accident”
and i was like oh no how’d she know
yeah… no way i’d miss the camera
i deliberately didn’t look… oops
(because i wanted to look pretty)
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
so yeah, the second version will air
and it’s a little sad
it feels like the prettier version won’t be shown
oh and speaking of
wanna hear something both cool and sad?
remember the rising promo era
first comeback stage?
my off-shoulder outfit
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
that day was like my re-debut
and i really liked how i looked
but ironically, that day is the only one with no mcountdown fancam
every other outfit had one
but not that first day
which sucked at the time… can’t believe it’s been 2 years
and now with are you alive
our first stage day
the winter school uniform outfit
i liked myself that day too
thought i looked prettyyyyy
and again just like rising
no fancam of that day
ah\\\~ come on
so it was just like the first day of rising promo
same show
same thing happened
totally reminded me of it
so yeah i’m always grateful to music core
they always give us solo fancams 🥹
and in today’s fancam, at the end
you know that butterfly-shaped paper thing?
can’t think of the word rn
ugh this is why i need to read more books
ah, confetti\!
yeah so when the confetti was falling
i was acting all flirty and playful
and i was like, i heard they were filming fancams
so someone’s gotta be filming me somewhere
but i couldn’t spot them
so i just flirted with the lovely wav in front of me instead
watch it ㅋㅋ
also that balloon? lighting? head-bump moment on stage
i just did it for fun
thought it’d be soft but it was basically a rock
hurt lol
but it was right before my part so i kept my face composed 😇
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ went full pro-mode with a straight face
if you look closely, you can really see me in pain
ah the “tralala” shorts, that one
sigh.. remember when i mentioned i filmed a shorts video because they asked me to that day?
yeah, it was that one
i only learned about the “tralala? tungtung sahur” meme on the day of filming
“chaeyeon once said, ‘why is this tralala thing even popular?’ ㅋㅋ
so i thought she didn’t like it… but now she’s the teacher of the meme ㅋㅋㅋ“
no but like, i legit only found out about the trend because of the shoot ㅋㅋ
the content team showed me the script and a sample video like:
“can you do this?”
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
chaeyeon: “what is this?”
i had no clue what it was
but i just did it lol 😂
“we can totally see how thrown off you were
when you say “end?” at the end of the video ”
right? that was totally real
anyway yeah, filmed a ridiculous shorts like that
and also filmed a pretty one today after the isegye festival
so when that one goes up, watch it for me, okay?
i filmed it…
just for you, y/n
actually, today’s video happened because one of the content team staff
saw my hoop earrings and said it reminded them of something
and asked me to film it
so i did
take a guess what it might be ㅋㅋ
“they ask you to film a lot, huh? that's a good sign\!”
right\~ and not just today
we’ve got more shorts planned for promo season
depending on the outfit and makeup style
we’ll film the ones that suit the look
it’s not like “ring ding dong” or “ring my bell” or anything
just pretty for the sake of pretty ㅋㅋㅋ
“hoop earrings remind me of that hanteo day. you were stunning then too”
but honestly, i liked today’s hoop earring look even more
in today’s fancam, the parts i liked best were:
the two waves during ji seoyeon’s part
and from yoon seoyeonie unnie’s “wake up from the dream” until the end
literally all of it
and the final zoom-in? love it
oh\! the relay dance is up too? wait let me go watch that real quick
lol it’s like déjà vu from rising’s first broadcast
we had a relay dance then too
and now for are you alive, same thing on our first stage
i really think first stages always turn out great for me
“chaeyeon looks so pretty in the relay dance 😳”
yup i just watched it too
i’m pretty
rising relay dance too, i was pretty there
i keep bringing up rising, huh
can’t help it, today felt like such a déjà vu
it’s my chattering time right now
deal with it
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“i watched the “tralala” shorts till the end
you teach it all and then go… “end (?),” classic kim chaeyeon
so funny”
it was real
on the outside i’m like “tralalala lililili larira\~”
but inside i’m thinking “what on earth am i doing rn…”
and after it was all over
i totally had the “so… are you satisfied now?” face toward the content team
it showed
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“am i the only one who sensed the moment you got hit with mini existential crisis? 😂”
behind-the-scenes time…
actually, i wasn’t feeling well that day
i had taken antibiotics on an empty stomach
and my stomach hurt so bad, i was struggling that day
“ohhh that was the day you mentioned taking meds on an empty stomach ㅠㅠ”
yeahㅜㅜ right, i told you
yup, that was the day
oh and during the music core interview today
i was supposed to keep looking at the camera
but i kept wanting to look at the audience
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ it was hard
but during mcountdown’s interview, i focused only on the camera
and it came out nicely, so i’m happy
a woman becomes beautiful when she bares her shoulders.
lately i’ve been chatting a lot with xinyu
before entering the music bank prerecording
backstage, she was like
“hnghhh\~ goddess…”
so i was like, zhou xin is a goddess too
we just keep complimenting each other’s faces
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
xinyu said my face is her type
and i like zhou xinyu’s face too
“oh\! what was that thing you said about needing to run away
if you make eye contact with xinyu? 😂”
but fr i do need to run away
so now it’s become a habit
on pretty days, we just tell each other we look pretty
that’s our routine now
anyway, i’ve finished my chattering
i need to go shower
i’ll message again tomorrow
thanks for coming to see me
and for liking me
sleep even better than me tonight 💛
