Chungha, the South Korean pop sensation, erupted onto the scene in 2016 and quickly became a household name. Hailing from Seoul, South Korea, born as Kim Chan-mi on February 9, 1996, Chungha was a musical prodigy from a young age. Growing up in Dallas, Texas, she attended an international school, where she would frequently showcase her talents at events.
Upon her return to South Korea, Chungha entered the fierce competition of the reality show, Produce 101, and ultimately claimed a spot in the final 11-member girl group, I.O.I. Following the group’s disbandment, Chungha began her solo career with the release of her debut single, “Why Don’t You Know,” in 2017. The song skyrocketed to the top of the charts, solidifying Chungha’s status as a rising star.
Since then, Chungha has unleashed a barrage of chart-topping hits, such as “Roller Coaster,” “Snapping,” and “Gotta Go,” which seized Song of the Year at the 2019 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Collaborating with notable artists such as Rich Brian, Jay Park, and CLC’s Yeeun, Chungha’s dynamic and unparalleled style has garnered a devoted fan base both in South Korea and globally.
Chungha’s multifaceted talent extends beyond her singing and dancing abilities, as she is also an accomplished songwriter and choreographer. Her dedication and hard work have earned her numerous awards and accolades, including the 2020 MTV EMA’s Best Korea Act. Despite her success, Chungha remains grounded and continuously strives to evolve as an artist. With each new release, she stuns her fans and cements her position as one of the most captivating and innovative artists in the music industry today.
