Chaeyeon: Definitely not. The CEO has never made any special comment or given me any special treatment regarding my singing on stage and acting. I think all he does is monitor me often because not too long ago, he told me, 'Fix your posture when you're acting.' Also, he knows I'm so busy these days that he said to me, 'Your schedule is also a mountain you have to surpass, things you have to overcome. You also have to go through difficult situations.' Honestly, I had been a bit sad, but his words made me feel better. While I was in Mnet's 'Produce 101,' I asked the CEO, 'Why did you cast me?' At the time, I didn't know how to do anything, and even more, I was fat. But he replied that he liked the look in my eyes. He must have thought I could do anything I was told to do.
Staff: Most people aspiring to be idols don't speak when they look into the CEO's eyes, but Jung Chae Yeon was different.
Chaeyeon: Honestly, during the meeting, I had not known who the CEO was and after we finished talking, I said, 'I will consult my parents and give you an answer after,' and left. I went home and did a search, then realized belatedly, 'Oh, that person was the CEO?' I simply wanted to experience working as an actress; I had no idea about the entertainment world or agencies. If I had not come into the agency, I would be nothing right now. That's why I'm grateful to the agency and am also fascinated by this. I comprehended the things other idols did while practicing for about five years and feel like I did that in about one year. I had some difficult times during that period, but I found methods to doing things so I wish I'd do even better next year.
