fromis_9’s Lee Chaeyoung shared honest stories about the group’s strict and direct way of motivating each other, drawing attention for their strong but sometimes harsh teamwork.
During a recent variety show appearance, she explained that the members often speak very directly, especially when preparing for sudden schedules that require quick weight management.
She said, “We fight a lot and also say blunt things to each other,” adding that when she tried to order food like chicken, the members would react strongly.
She revealed, “If I try to order something, they say, ‘Are you really going to eat that?’ and tell me, ‘Look at yourself in the mirror. This is no joke.’”
She added that even calm comments like, “It’s a bit too much,” after rehearsals could feel more hurtful, saying, “That actually hurts more,” and that it sometimes made her “lose my appetite and not eat.”
Despite this, she clarified that this behavior is mutual within the group, sharing, “We ask each other to do that.”
Fellow guest Chae Yeon viewed it positively, saying it creates “a good influence,” as it encourages members to push each other rather than thinking, “I just need to look good myself.”
Overall, Lee Chaeyoung’s story highlighted the group’s honest and direct communication style, showing both the challenges and the supportive side of their teamwork.
