She added that she appreciates a "family-oriented" man with a sense of humor.

"My ideal type? Yeah, bad boys don't really do it for me. I like kind people. I like someone kind, family-oriented. Someone funny," Chaewon said.

More about Kim Chaewon and the Genesis of LE SSERAFIM

In 2018, Kim Chaewon competed in the reality series Produce 48 for Woollim Entertainment. She advanced to 10th position and qualified for the project girl group IZ*ONE. It debuted on October 29, 2018, with the mini-album ColorIZ.

IZ*ONE disbanded in April 2021. After this, Chaewon moved to Source Music under HYBE Corporation. She debuted as a member and leader of HYBE's first girl group, LE SSERAFIM.

The group name is a play on the phrase "I'm fearless," which mirrors the message of self-assurance and strength. The group debuted on May 2, 2022, with their first mini-album, Fearless. The original lineup consisted of six members: Sakura, Kim Garam, Hong Eunchae, Kim Chaewon, Kazuha, and Huh Yunjin.

Furthermore, after six days of its release, pre-orders for Fearless exceeded 270,000 copies and 380,000 copies after sixteen days.

Not long after their debut, however, member Kim Garam became embroiled in a high school bullying scandal. This led to her hiatus and departure from the group in July 2022, making LE SSERAFIM a five-member group.

The group made their comeback in October 2022 with the release of their second EP, Antifragile. So far, they have released the following EP(S):

• Fearless (2022)
