A lot of people don't like Chae-yeon.

According to a survey whose methodology I don't understand, Gwangyang's own Chae-yeon (채연) had the most number of registered antis, or people who don't like her. Her 8,630 antis are way more than the second- and third-place people combined. I like her, if that counts for anything.



The Chosun Ilbo tells us what makes her sexy, though it apparently works to make lots people jealous:
Chae Yeon has a lovely nose as well as overall sex appeal. It is the mole, or beauty spot, that makes her nose look so cute. Her sexy choreography is as hot as Lee Hyo-lee’s.

The same article also tells us what makes Seo In-young so special:
Seo In-young maximizes her strong point with a fashion style that highlights her waist, hips and crotch. At 1.62 m tall, she is the smallest of the four, but like IVY’s, her legs make up for it on stage.

LMFAO. Seo In-young, who I hadn't even heard of until about four minutes ago, is the third-place person I alluded to above. She and Chae-yeon appeared together in April on a show called "Musicbank." They used lots of rain in their performance, and had to do it because apparently the original version was too risque for prudish South Korean sensibilities. Pop Seoul has the pics here, but they're not really safe for work.

Seo In-young is also famous for pole dancing.

* Edit: Now I remember Seo In-young. She came out with this irritating song a year or two ago.

When I first came to Korea in early 2004, Chae Yeon, I think, was just debuting with this catchy pop song that was so cheesy, I ended up buying the CD.

Back then I remember my Korean female co-workers saying they couldn't stand her. POPSEOUL can't stand her either.

I don't understand the hate.

Her music and singing aren't that much different than the others. At least she's not ripping off the most annoying of classical works and ripping off video game cut scenes for her music video (IVY).

She sings much better than Kim Ah-joon, who, even though she's really an actor and had a tinny voice, had one of the biggest hits this past year with "Maria."

We all know that it's all crap, and it's funny seeing people get so emotional about the quality of their own favorite piles of poo.

Hi, thanks for the visit and the comment. I like Chae-yeon and had seen her on some of those comedy shows, although I didn't know who she was.

Wikipedia tells us about the video for 둘어서 that was relegated to late-nights on account of its steaminess. It seems pretty tame compared to what's on American MTV, and pretty tame compared to what you see in concerts. But yeah, you're right, the song is really catchy.

well i love that u love her!!!! i don't get it either .... but then again i'm not korean. seems they have more antis than they do fans anyways. and it seems to be more females than their male counterparts. but her songs are catchy, her dance routines are great and yeah, there are plenty of others out there doing the same thing, using the same 'sexy' image yet i think because she's been in the biz longer than both ivy and seo in young. i loved her personality and that she doesn't seem to care. or if she does, she doesn't let it affect her. many artists come/go but she remained. that proves something.
