Singer Lee Chae-yeon has finally succeeded in knocking on the hearts of the public. With the new song 'Knock', he stood out on the music charts and successfully stood alone after IZ*ONE.
Lee Chae-yeon is showing a remarkable rise in the recent music charts. The title song 'Knock' from his second mini-album 'Over The Moon', released on the 12th of last month, climbed to 17th on the Melon real-time top 100 chart as of 7:00 pm on the 3rd. It entered this chart for the first time on the 24th and is climbing with a terrifying momentum.
It is also showing an explosive rise on the daily chart. 'Knock', which stayed at 521st on the day of its release, first entered at 95th on the 28th and rose to 50th on the 2nd. Considering that the title song of the same name from their debut album "HUSH RUSH" failed to chart in, this is an amazing achievement. With this, Lee Chae-yeon achieved her goal of 'entering the top 100 of music charts' through this album.
This album is said to have worked through Lee Chae-yeon's musical transformation and challenge. The most noticeable thing when 'Over the Moon' was released was the replacement of the producers. The RBW division participated in this album, including Seo Yong-bae, Yoo Ju-i, and Lee Hu-sang. Lee Chae-yeon described it as a "challenge" in the showcase. “I made several attempts to show various colors while promoting as a solo artist,” he explained. The public is responding to this album, saying, 'Lee Chae-yeon finally put on my clothes'.
The 'sticky performance' is also receiving favorable reviews. Lee Chae-yeon has been called 'Feather Chae-yeon' because her 'dance line is as light as a feather'. What the public wanted from Lee Chae-yeon was a fast and lively dance rather than a slow and sensuous choreography. 'Knock', which has a faster tempo than the previous work, was able to fully demonstrate the charm of Lee Chae-yeon's dance line.
In particular, the performance of 'Knock' was participated by Rosalyn, who was a member of the dance crew in 'Street Woman Fighter'. With the choreography created by Rosalyn, who is well aware of Lee Chae-yeon's strengths, fans are saying that 'affection can be seen in the dance'.
The TikTok Challenge is also gaining popularity. Lee Chae-yeon prepared an easy version and a difficult version for this challenge. The difficult version, also known as the 'hard version' or the 'doggie version', was participated by younger siblings Chaeryeong of ITZY, You of ONF, choreographers Yoonjung Bae, Rosalyn, Hwarang and Hanbin of Tempest, Dayeon Kepler, and Woojin Park of AB6IX. It's getting attention. In addition, thanks to the addictive songs and dances that people want to follow, the easy version is also taking part in the challenge among TikTok users.
In the midst of this, Lee Chae-yeon dreams of taking another leap forward with Mnet's 'Queendom Puzzle' scheduled to air in June. This is her fifth survival appearance following SBS 'K-Pop Star Season 3', Mnet's 'Sixteen', 'Produce 48', and 'Street Woman Fighter'. Attention is focusing on what kind of charm Lee Chae-yeon will show this time, taking on another challenge through 'Queendom Puzzle'.
