Kim Chae Won is a South Korean singer-songwriter, dancer, and former member of VNT (브이엔티; also known as V-92), SOREA BAND (소리아밴드) and S2 (에스투).

She made her debut in November 2010 (using the stage name Tina) as VNT's leader, main vocalist, main dancer and maknae with their first digital single, "Sound". The group failed to get any attention from the media and public, and immediately went on hiatus after their debut. The agency, Media Line Entertainment (미디어라인 엔터테인먼트; formerly known as Midas Entertainment), opted to disband them in mid-2011.

She then re-debuted in January 2014 (using the stage name XOi) when she joined SOREA BAND as a guest vocalist with the single "Zincha Zanchi". The band had debuted in early and combined pop music with Traditional Korean musical instruments. She was brought in due to her vocals and also thanks to her ability to play the gayageum. She later became a fixed member but the band presumably disbanded in mid-2016 due to inactivity.

Then, in January 2016, she made her debut as a solo artist with the digital single, "Pretend It's OK" but was not successful and decided to try another girl group.

She joined Climix (클라이믹스) and re-debuted in August 2017 (now using her real name) as S2's main vocalist with their first single album, "Honeya". They never released any other material and quietly disbanded in February 2018.

In November 2020, she once again re-debuted as a solo artist (this time under the stage name ChaTone) and released the digital single "New Things".
