Kim Chaewon (born August 1, 2000) is a prominent South Korean singer-songwriter and the leader of the K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM.
Known for her sharp dancing, stable vocals, and "all-rounder" stage presence, she has successfully navigated two major peaks in her career:
LE SSERAFIM (2022–Present): As the group's leader under Source Music (HYBE), she rebranded with a chic, "fearless" image—often recognized by her iconic short bob haircut. She is a central pillar of the group's performance-heavy style.
IZ*ONE (2018–2021): She first gained fame as a member of the project group IZ*ONE after finishing 10th on the survival show Produce 48. During this era, she was often celebrated for her "fairy-like" visuals and sweet vocal tone.
Persona: Off-stage, fans often call her "Ssam-achi" (a playful nickname referring to her witty and occasionally feisty personality). Despite her youthful energy, she is highly regarded for her professional "lead-by-example" leadership style.
