Kim Chae Won (김채원) is a South Korean singer underneath CUBE and Louph Entertainment. She was the Main vocalist, Main Dancer and FOTG. "❝Everything good ends one day, so enjoy everything you have right now'"

Early Life & Education
Chae Won was born the 12th February, 1990, Gangnam, South Korea. Her family was rather wealthy, having both her parents being successful business owners of the clothing brand "HapV" which launched in early 1978.

Growing up Chae Won was very fond of modeling for an variety of magazines and singing for her family in her free time. She also starred in multiple commercials for the brand, making her one of the most requested child stars on the market. Although, her life seemed to be going pretty well in the entertainment/business industry, she later in life stated that she dealt with severe depression, often thinking her life wasn't hers but owned by some company she was working for.

When she turned seventeen, she debuted in her first girl group "Lola" underneath SM entertainment but was forced to leave the group by her parents only a year after their debut, due to their lack of success in the Entertainment industry.

Pre Debut
At the age of 19 she was scouted by Louph Entertainment and was placed in their soon-to-debut girl group ZTELLAR. Her parents weren't too fond of the idea, as the company wasn't a part of the Big 3, but they eventually gave up as Chae Won moved out to debut with ZTELLAR.

Shortly before ZTELLARs debut, Chae Won was revealed to have had a mental breakdown. She later on told in a VLIVE that she feared losing her position in the group because of her parents. She ended up calming down after Yeong-hui comforted her and she debuted somewhat happily with her new group.

Career
As explained many times before, their debut didn't go very well. This crushed Chae Won, as she feared that the group would't do well in the near future.

Though after the debut of their second album, the girls seemed to be doing better with it peeking it's way to top 200.

In 2013, Chae Won made her first solo song titled "Exhausted" which basically explained how tired she was of getting told what and what not to do.

In 2017, the girls went on their first little tour and Chae Won had the greatest time meeting her loyal ZTARS.

As their fame grew larger, so did her popularity. In late 2018, she was awarded the "Most successful idol of the year" after her campaign "Self Worth"

Disbandment
In late 2019, the girls announced that their contract would end in a few months. They disbanded the 7th January, 2020.

After the disbandment, not much have been heard about Chae Won. She has been reported to have enrolled in a university to study Economics and to have settled down.
