An Artist is a person who expresses his - or herself through a medium. Painting, Drawing, Writing, Composing Music, Singing, Music, Film Making, Photography, or anything that uses creative minds to produce content that is considered to have an aesthetic value.
Within TWICE, Son Chaeyoung was voted to be the most talentedmember by the members themselves. She has natural gift in creating contents that are unique to her own. A truly born artist.
Here are the reasons why we think Son Chaeyoung is born to be an artist:
1. Her Natural talent for Drawing
Even when she introduced herself during sixteen she has already shown her love for drawing that fans even dubbed her as chaengcasso. She has her own distinct style that it became easy for the fans to distinguish her art in a heartbeat it.
With that, Chaeyoung designed a couple of limited edition items including the limited edition jacket sleeve during cheer up era, Spris shoes, a ukulele, and even a face mask...

Her most recent masterpiece she has designed, which is very rare because there's only one of it in this world, is a tote bag with a monster inc character drawn on it owned by her fellow member, Momo. Looks like we have another satisfied customer!
2. She's also into painting
Late 2017, Chaeyoung has shown interest in painting. Maybe she has been interested for a long time, given her love for art but it became more evident during this era as she was shown to be painting (with Momo as her dutiful assistant) and even showed it off during a V live after their concert. ("better than yesterday" painting)
3. She writes and is good at it. (poetry, rap and lyric writing)
Here is an excerpt from her self written rap for precious love:
I cried until my eyes would be swollen and in pain
And I laughed until I couldn't breathe anymore
We fought like we were never going to see each other again
And I missed you like you weren't there anymoreI didn't realize my feelings towards you
Your heart is already full of hate
Please come to me first and smile for me
Embrace me and please be next to be for the rest of our lives
Here is a line from her personal diary:
"Good light, Good songs, Good feelings, Good notes. If I gather all the good times I had... That's what I call happiness"
At a young age she's already credited as a lyric writer for a couple of songs in their albums and mind you she just turned adult! We indeed see a very bright future~!
4. She loves photography
As an artist, she's naturally drawn to aesthetics and how else do you capture an exact moment at any given time? Right. Photography. Whenever they travel overseas, for Chaeyoung, a camera is a must. Taking the photos of the moments she don't dare forget and remember the people she loves at that exact scenery.
She also likes showing off the photos she's taken, uploading them on instagram or reveal some of them during V lives.
5. She loves music and dreams of making them
Chaeyoung has already started her internship in JYPE writing b-sides. Her dream is to be called musician Chaeyoung. We can't wait for what the future holds.
6. An open mind
It isn't exactly a criteria to make your own art. However, creating something of your own requires deep understanding of your subject and what you are trying to convey. It was a trait often seen in artists, they have an open mind and a free soul because an artist *cannot *live in a box. She's demonstrated such trait in numerous ways you may have never expected.
Her old blog contained a post about watching carol with an open mind and showing support to any kind of love that exists out there.
"Love is Love"
She once said in her blog.
When she was still a minor, she would listen to songs out of her age range purely for the aesthetic of it. She even said in a V live, where Music Producer Park Jinyoung was present, that she listens to his explicit songs with the help of her mom to stream them (much to Tzuyu's surprise).
Our girl surely still have a long way to go, lots of room for improvement which is natural for her age. We also wish to see her grow as a musician that she dreams of. We're definitely excited for what's yet to come!
Now that she's gained another year in her life. Let's watch over her with fondness.
