The real-life Lee sisters Chaeyeon and Chaeryeoung have an adorable bonding where the duo have been competing with each other since they appeared in 'K-Pop Star 3'. Chaeyeon and Chaeryeoung both participated in the reality show ’Sixteen’ but neither of them made it to the final lineup which became the famous girl group ‘Twice’. Later they debuted in two highly popular girl groups Iz*one and Itzy.
Fans have loved the duo’s take on ‘Rain on Me’ as they couldn’t stop talking about it. A fan posted, “Sisters CHAEYEON of IZ*ONE and CHAERYEONG of ITZY. And they ate up the stage.” Another said, “Chae sisters nailed it !!” An excited fan said, “NO WAYYYYY MORE CHAE SISTER CONTENT. kbs is blessing ussss.” Another fan said, “CONGRATULATIONS CHAEYEON AND CHAERYEONG FOR WINNING SOTY - SISTERS OF THE YEAR.” A user said, “I'm so happy that they got to perform together.” A fan shared, "THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, CHAEYEON AND CHAERYEONG DANCING ON A STAGE TOGETHER. CHAESIS."
