A rundown of Lee Chaeyeon’s “UNI-CHAERISH” Fan Meeting Part One
Last January 13, 2024, K-Pop idol, Lee Chaeyeon held her first fan meeting. It was held both live and online via FLNK.
Lee Chaeyeon’s fan meeting was divided into two parts and Annyeong Oppa had the opportunity to attend the first part of the event online, via FLNK.
Because of her talent and love for CHAERISH, Chaeyeon deserves to have her own show where she can showcase both her talents and interact with her fans.
Here’s a quick rundown of what happened at Lee Chaeyeon’s UNI-CHAERISH Fan Meeting.
Heo Youngji as the MC
Heo Youngji of Kara appeared as the MC of Chaeyeon’s first fan meeting.
Throughout the event, she was a very kind MC for communicating with Chaeyeon and with CHAERISH as well. As a senior, she also commended Chaeyeon’s performances saying that she really is a good artist.
Chaeyeon and Youngji also interacted before where they both danced to LET’S DANCE on TikTok.
Versatile performances
Lee Chaeyeon may be known for her powerful and strong dancing skills, but no doubt, she can do both singing and dancing flawlessly.
For her opening number, she performed Shangri-La, followed by Hush Rush, Same But Different, Cave, a dance cover of Kai’s Mmmh, Don’t Be a Jerk, a song cover of Time of Our Life by DAY6, KNOCK, and her final song is Like A Star.
Cute university-themed VCR
Given that her fan meeting is titled “UNI-CHAERISH,” it is given that her VCRs are also university-themed.
The VCR was a simulation of senior student Chaeyeon as different versions of herself orienting a freshman who is meant to be CHAERISH.
Chaeyeon’s avatars were a friendly female senior student, an “oppa” type senior student, a photography club member, a literature club president, and the dance club president where she performed her song, KNOCK.
This cute VCR just proved how Chaeyeon can also act naturally on skits aside from performing as a K-Pop idol.
Fun and games
Nothing is better than games.
For the first game, Chaeyeon was tasked to guess the song and artist by hearing the lyrics in backward. To earn a point, Chaeyeon has to sing the song to earn a point.
Chaeyeon was able to guess the song which was First Snow by EXO, and she also did the trending TikTok dance of the song.
For the second game, Chaeyeon had to guess 3 songs that would be played at the same then she would dance to each song played. Successfully, Chaeyeon was able to guess the three songs namely: Baggy Jeans by NCT 127, WHEN I MOVE BY Kara, and her song, LET’S DANCE.
The third game was the iconic “Random Play Dance.” A song will be played and the person has to dance to the song to earn a point.
Nostalgic hits when IZ*ONE’s Panorama was played and Chaeyeon still remembers the choreography and as always…nailed it!
The fourth game is another iconic game, the “2x Speed Dance.” Chaeyeon’s song, KNOCK was played and even if the speed was faster than its regular speed, Chaeyeon didn’t miss a beat and her dance form was still good!
For the last game, Chaeyeon was tasked to freestyle dance to the song “Instruction” by Demi Lovato. This is the song she freestyled to during Produce 48 where she impressed the mentors and proved that she is indeed, the main dance material.
Surprise birthday song
CHAERISH surprised Chaeyeon by singing “Happy Birthday” and providing a cake which was given onstage.
Chaeyeon’s birthday is on January 11 and she didn’t expect CHAERISH to surprise her with a song and a cake. Nevertheless, she was touched that she got to celebrate her birthday with her fans, especially since it was her first fan meeting.
Chaeyeon blew out her candles then she and CHAERISH took a photo together. After that, CHAERISH were now allowed to take photos of Chaeyeon where she went to different sides of the stage and posed for photos.
Ending ment
To wrap things up, Chaeyeon said that she was happy meeting CHAERISH for the first time and she had a lot of fun preparing for her fan meeting.
Chaeyeon wanted to say so many things, but she couldn’t find the right words to say it. Even though she couldn’t explain her happiness in words, she was thankful that fans came to her fan meeting, and that she looks forward to her future, as well as interacting more with CHAERISH.
After saying her ending speech, Chaeyeon sang her song, Like A Star, and wished CHAERISH to get home safely and eat well.
Though this was Chaeyeon’s first fan meeting, it was surely an event worth watching. From participating in survival shows to debuting with a known girl group to becoming a versatile solo artist that shines brighter than anyone else.
CHAERISH wishes nothing but for Chaeyeon to be successful, healthy, happy, and continue doing what she loves.
