The reason why LE SSERAFIM Kim Chaewon switched from Woollim to HYBE

Quote from 0ppar

she already had a huge fandom from her iz*one days. She was gonna debut regardless of how good or poor her training eval was.

I mean.....read the actual full interview. It doesn't matter that she was guaranteed a spot or not. HYBE wasn't going to let her sit around and debut as-is. Do you think a huge company like HYBE with a ton of trainees at their disposal doesn't have high standards? She had to start all over again and do weekly evaluations, cover assignments, learn how to do different dance styles, learn how to also sing with different styles, etc. She went through the whole HYBE training regime. The hard work and training that she underwent under HYBE is 100% visible to anybody who followed her during IZ*One days. The proof is in the pudding. Her greatly improved stage presence and singing ability after her debut under Le Sserafim is testament to how much work she had to endure over the last year.

Trying to say that she didn't have to face any challenge is undermining all of her hard work and effort that she had to go through. And anybody who actually spends even a little bit of effort to pay attention to her growth over the last few years can testify to this.

no one is faulting her for jumping ship for a better, safer opportunity...just don't call it a challenge to switch from Woollim to HYBE.

Chaewon was only a Woollim trainee for less than a year. She didn't get any formal training under IZ*One. She wanted to improve her singing and dancing skills by being a trainee again under HYBE instead of just re-debuting as a solo or whtever. Last year she was already officially an artist under Woollim and no longer a trainee. Self-improvement is def a challenge, not to mention going back to being a trainee under HYBE is challenging and requires hard work

Lol at people who thinks they know better than the actual person what are challenges or not for that person. Y’all get mad when people invalidate your feelings but constantly invalidate idols’.

And this is such a petty issue smh

aka she got a better contract? lol
