Transgender Chae Ryujin, who previously competed on Mnet's 'Boys24,' shared her views on dating.
On the 3rd, Chae Ryujin shared an update on her life through an interview video introducing her outfit. In the video, she said, "I live in Hongdae. I'm 174cm tall. I currently weigh 54kg because I'm in the middle of gaining weight and bulking up. I work as an internet broadcast streamer."
She continued, "My ideal type is Lee Jinwook. I'm open to dating someone up to 60 years old." Regarding her outfit, she added, "I really like Choi Yena. I noticed she wears a lot of polka-dot, so I tried to copy her. I've often had people telling me that I look like her. Since she fits my aesthetic, hearing that makes me feel happy."
During the interview, Chae Ryujin revealed that she is a transgender woman who transitioned from male to female. She said, "Before broadcasting, I was a male idol. I appeared on the audition program 'Boys24.'" She also mentioned that her legs are her strongest physical figure, saying, "I actually don't take care of my legs much, so there are a lot of scars."
Addressing social concerns and prejudices toward transgender people, she said confidently, "Meet me first before you judge. I don't smell and I'm not dirty. I smell like perfume."
Netizens who watched the video reacted with comments like, "She's really pretty," "I will be rooting for you," and "It's great to see such confidence." Chae Ryujin also drew attention by commenting, "Please look upon me kindly."
Born in 1997, Chae Ryujin first gained recognition in 2016 through Mnet's 'Boys24' under the name Chae Hocheol. Later, she promoted in the boy group JWiiver under the name Ryujei.
Chae Ryujin drew significant attention last year after publicly coming out as transgender through a live broadcast. She is currently continuing to communicate with fans through her personal channels and social media.
