1. She Used to Be Very Shy
When someone makes a living by performing in front of large crowds, shy probably isn’t a word that most people would use to describe them. However, many celebrities have expressed that they are actually very shy people and Kim Chaewon is one of them. During an interview with Soompi, Kim said, “My personality changed a lot after becoming a singer. I became brighter and more outgoing. I was originally very shy, but I was able to fix a lot of that while promoting. That’s why I think that if I didn’t become a singer, my personality would be completely different. For a while, I thought about wanting to become a flight attendant, so I think that if I hadn’t become a singer, I’d have been a quiet student studying something in relation to that”.
2. She’s Always Looking for Ways to Improve
Now that Kim has reached a certain level of success, it would be easy for her to just get comfortable and not focus on how she can keep getting better at what she does. However, Kim certainly isn’t the type to let herself get too comfortable. Instead, she likes to focus on ways she can improve herself both personally and professionally.
3. She Likes Watching Mukbang Videos
To lots of people, the idea of sitting and watching somebody eat doesn’t sound that entertaining. However, there is a whole group of people who love to do exactly that. These videos, which are called mukbangs, have become very popular online and Kim Chaewon is one of the many people who enjoy them.
