Lee Chaeyeon, who aims to become the "Dancing Queen," said, "Dancing is my life."

 Lee Chae-yeon debuted as a project girl group IZ*ONE through Mnet's "Produce 48." "Solo" Lee Chae-yeon took place more than a year and a half after IZ*ONE's activities ended. Her debut album "HUSH RUSH," which came out with a worldview of MZ vampires, was somewhat regrettable in that it was not a perfect fit for Lee Chae-yeon.

The opportunity for a turnaround came sooner than I thought. The title track "KNOCK" of the second mini-album "Over The Moon" was well released. There was word of mouth that the song was good, and a dance challenge using short platform content was also very popular. The cumulative number of views for the TikTok Challenge reached 200 million. The success of the previous work was also the background of this comeback a little earlier.

"Hello, I'm Lee Chae-yeon. I look forward to your kind cooperation." On the last afternoon of August, Lee Chae-yeon greeted reporters with a slightly nervous face in a round interview to commemorate the release of her first single "The Move: Street" at a cafe in Mapo-gu, Seoul. At the same time, thanks to the support of fans, I was able to find a sign of gratitude and joy for returning to the new song.

As can be inferred from the teaser poster with ballet shoes and sneakers, and the title song "LET'S DANCE," the single is the result of putting Lee Chae-yeon's long and strong "Dance" at the forefront. Regarding "Let's Dance," Lee Chae-yeon said, "It's a song that contains a passion for dance and my affection. "It contains a message that anyone should dance and enjoy together," he said.

He said, "I thought it was an energetic, bright song that everyone could enjoy together. "If 'Knock' was only for me on stage, I thought it would be good to have 'Let's Dance' as the title because I wanted many people to enjoy " he explained.

Producer Seo Yong-bae and choreographer Rosaline, who worked together during "Knock," also participated in the new song. Lee Chae-yeon said, "The second time we worked together, we got to know each other better, so there was not much to revise. "That's why the comeback has been accelerated," he hinted.

Let's ask how difficult the choreography of this song is. "Since you loved your performance during 'Knock', I don't think it should be further down at that level, so I think (this choreography) has been upgraded one step further than 'Knock'. I came back harder."

The music video shows Lee Chae-yeon, who turned into a street dancer according to the concept, performing choreography in various genres. The choreography included tango and shuffle. When asked if she participated in the performance, Lee Chae-yeon replied, "I'm greedy, but I don't think my skills are yet good enough to make it, so I'm fixing it from a distant perspective and thinking about how to make it more fun and catch the eye."

The tracks include "Intro: Shangri-La" and "Cave". Lee Chae-yeon said, "Shangri-La" is a really short but refreshing song with a bright atmosphere like spring. "Cave" is Afrobeat's rhythmical Mumbai-toned song, and I tried to make the tone not like mine. "I want to show you my low voice and rap melody, so it will be a little different from what I've shown you so far," he hinted.

You're especially fond of "Cave." Lee Chae-yeon said, "I like the message. It's a song for people living in their world in a cave, but it's not a dark and humid cave, but a cozy and unique cave, so I thought, "Oh, is it a song for me?"

The success of the previous work left Lee with a lot of thought. Lee Chae-yeon said, "As the response to 'knock' was good, I wondered what was good for the public, whether it was a performance or an addictive melody. I think all three beats should be right, so this time, I naturally took an addictive melody without such a big challenge, adding a slightly changed and advanced performance. "It was upgraded from 'Knock', but I tried to make the stage not go wrong in my direction."

Unlike when he was in a group that worked together with other members, solo singers had a much larger share of their work. Lee Chae-yeon said, "When the 12 of us were in a group (IZ*ONE), I shared parts and had my area as a main dancer, and I only worked with the thought that I needed to play that role." "As a solo artist, I had to fill the stage by myself from beginning to end, so the more I finished each stage, the more I felt lost," he confessed.

Knock received more love than expected, and Lee Chae-yeon also gained confidence. Lee Chae-yeon, who has not been able to find her charm as a solo artist, said, "I've never said this myself..."I think it's pretty when I smile broadly when I perform 'Knock'," he said. After checking his smiling face, he smiled at the monitor.

He said, "As much as the response was good, the confidence and conviction on stage were different. After "Knock," I found many parts where I thought, "Is this my charm?" and added, "I thought I could give bright energy to people because I laughed, so I want to show good energy on stage in the future."
