Lee Chaeyeon , a popular soloist from South Korea, is a multi talented performer—singer, dancer, rapper, and actress. She first rose to fame as a member of the South Korean–Japanese girl group 'IzOne'. On October 12, 2022, she made her solo debut with the release of her first EP, Hush Rush. She is also known for being the older sister of Itzy member Chaeryeong. The sisters are beloved for their candid personalities and hilarious antics, often going viral for the most random yet relatable moments.

Recently, Chaeyeon appeared on the variety show Knowing Bros, where she shared a humorous story that had both the hosts and fans in splits—about the time she got locked out of her house after a night of drinking.

The Incident: Locked Out and LaughingChaeyeon recounted how she returned home late one night after drinking and, in her drunken state, completely forgot the passcode to her front door. The entire scene was caught on her door camera. In the footage, she can be seen pausing, stalling, and then attempting to enter a code—but to no avail.

To make matters worse, after too many failed attempts, the lock system temporarily disabled itself, preventing her from trying again for 10 minutes. With no other option, she sat by the door in complete hopelessness, waiting to try again. The other guests on the show were shocked and thoroughly entertained by how openly she narrated the story—especially knowing it would be aired nationally.
