the last day of the year has already come\!
first of all, i want to say that 2025 was a year i felt especially grateful for.
from full-group activities to promotions in Japan, and many different projects outside of that, it was a year where i was active in so many ways. through all of that, the reason i was able to keep running without burning out was because of our always-caring MODHAUS, my members, and my family \- and among them, the biggest share belongs to our WAVs. thank you for giving someone like me such overwhelming love, and for trusting and believing in every choice i’ve made.
also, toward the end of this year, i was given a wonderful opportunity to participate in the solo leveling musical. i’m so thankful that such a precious musical has become part of my filmography. thanks to that, i spent this year’s end \- from christmas eve to the 31st \- both the coldest and the warmest at the same time.
tmi, but actually, i’ve always liked working on special days like my birthday or christmas rather than resting. the reason is that when i look back on that year, those days stay in my memory more clearly. in 2018, i was filming cooking classes, in 2019 i did a bonihani live broadcast, in 2020 i think i was in self-quarantine… 😂 and so on\! so i feel like doing something makes the memory last longer. this year, there were a lot of things on my special days.
honestly, even if those days were days off, it would still be okay. unlike before, now i have WAVs with me, after all.hh
in the second half of the year, it also reminded me of 2019 \- the busiest year of my life. that probably means that 22-year-old kim chaeyeon was recorded and there’s traces here and there a lot this year, right?
and if someone had an especially difficult year, even though i may not be particularly qualified, there’s something i want to say. one of my favorite phrases is “nothing lasts forever.” it can sound a bit sad, but in another way, it can be comforting. if you think that nothing in the world is eternal, then even this unbearable moment isn’t forever either \- it will eventually pass. if there’s a WAV right now walking through a dark tunnel with no end in sight, i promise you that tunnels always have an end, and someday, you will see the light.
on the other hand, happiness isn’t eternal either \- but flowers can’t grow with only sunshine. to bloom, they need rain too, and after the rain stops, a rainbow appears. if every day were happy, i don’t think we’d understand its value. that’s how precious happiness is. so when happiness comes to you, i hope you fully embrace it and truly feel that moment with your whole heart.
i’ll keep working hard in many different areas in 2026 as well, so that everyone who loves and supports me can cheer for me even more happily. thank you for choosing “kim chaeyeon” this year.
i’ll still be kim chaeyeon next year too\!\!
so let’s stay together for a long, long time 🫰🏻💖

y/n happy new year🧧❤️ thank you for being with me at the start of my twenty-third year
let's have another very very happy and fulfilling year\!
i'm happy to be twenty three, which i've looked forward to and fantasized about so much🤭
today is the first day\! ✌🏻✌🏻
but for some reason\! even in the moments when i think, well, it's nothing special now that i'm twenty three\~\~ i'm going to try to like them😌
in that sense, for the first picture of the new year, instead of the usual selfies i send, i wanted to send something special and different
so i sent a picture my mom took🤭
