"Oh my! Chaeri! She's very talented." Namjoo commented.

Multiple clips showed Chaeri practicing dance or playing volleyball, "I'm Song Chaeri, and I've been a trainee for a year and five months. I've also been a volleyball setter for five years." Chaeri explained.

"Ever since I was a kid, I've dealt with bad anxiety. Of course over the years, I learned to handle my emotions and get better at dealing with it. When I was scouted I didn't want to be a trainee but my cousin, he said I should try it out.  He said it might help me get out of my shell."

New clips showed her practicing her dances along with leading everyone during group practices.

Chaeri smiled, "I fell in love with dancing.  It really was like love at first sight," She let out a small laugh, "When I danced it was like nothing else mattered. And I quickly became much more determined to debut, and my determination to become a professional volleyball player was replaced with the need to debut. I was really unsure if being in I-Land would be okay for me. But being in I-Land made me learn so many things, how to lead, teamwork, improving my skills. Im this close to accomplishing my dreams. And I'm going to do it. I'm going to prove to myself that I'm prepared for this."

"Chaeri is a very quiet girl." Doobu began.

"On stage it's a whole different thing." Kwanghee laughed.

"Oh of course, she's made to be on stage. But in evaluations and things I know from when I saw her as a trainee, she's very passive."

"She seems like a team player." JooE commented.

Doobu nodded, "Chaeri is. From what I observed being there for her teammates was her priority. She led them through many practices and errors even when she's not center. And when she needed to step up to center, she did it. And did it well."

Sungeun nodded, "During the representative test, she started panicking during a lesson because she didn't want to let her team down. And then when she got sick, and we slowly tried improving her vocals back to their healthy state, Chaeri told me how she felt like she disappointed everyone. She didn't. During every single test her vocals have been steady.  Her tone is also really unique and beautiful."

"That's the thing about her, she's versatile and can perform and sing any concept. No matter the song, dance, vibe, she can do it." Doobu added.

"When practicing for butterfly, her voice was very gentle and soothing. During Fire her voice had power in it, she understands the points very well." Sungeun continued.

"From what I heard, she placed first in the first and fourth test?" Kwanghee asked.

Doobu nodded, "During "Into the I-Land" she was center and got the highest score. For "I&Credible" she switched part two with Jungwon and performed part five, tying first with him."

"I'm curious about the expression expert, she's very good at facial expressions." Namjoo noticed.

"Facial expressions come naturally to her. Even during midpoint evaluations, her expression matched each lyric individually. She never lets nervousness show." Doobu explained, "If I saw just her performance and then learn she has anxiety, I never would have guessed. On stage, it's like all that goes away."
