CHI CHI clarifies that SNSD is their role model + reveals plans for May comeback

In their latest interview with Star News, the seven members of rookie girl group CHI CHI expressed their admiration for their seniors, SNSD.
In late March, the girls were asked whether they had a girl group that they thought of as their rivals during their debut showcase. They had answered, “Our goal is to overtake the nation’s best girl group, SNSD. Becoming Asia’s best girl group is also another goal of ours. We believe our strong point is performing unique music.”

Unfortunately, that statement came with consequences. The girls were the target of criticism for their over-ambitious goals so early in their careers.
CHI CHI took the interview as an opportunity to express what they had truly meant by explaining, “When we said that we wanted to overtake SNSD, we meant it as a form of respect. We want to become a girl group that receives love from males and females of all age groups.”
Ji-u continued, “SNSD is our role model and seniors that we respect and want to become like,” while Nara added, “SNSD is the best girl group in not only Korea, but all of Asia. As we still have many things that we lack, they are like our role models.”
Semi stated, “SNSD is our idol. They’re always working hard to become the top, and we, too, want to reach that status as well.”

Even though they’ve chosen SNSD as their role models, the girls expressed a sense of pride over the music they wish to pursue. CHI CHI debuted as an electronic house group with their track, “Don’t Play Around.”
Su-i explained, “The strongest point for CHI CHI is that we perform unique music for a girl group. Even though the public isn’t familiar with our members individually, they’re familiar with ‘Don’t Play Around.’”
Nara stated, “Our music is positive in that it’s not convoluted, but still maintains an addictive quality. We hope to continue presenting such refreshing music and hopefully win a rookie award at the year-end.”

CHI CHI will be promoting “Don’t Play Around” until the end of this month and will make their official comeback in May with a new track.
They concluded, “Our song to be released this May is a lot more melodious than ‘Don’t Play Around.’ We’re already looking forward to our next promotion cycle!”

Rookie girl group CHI CHI held a showcase for their debut single “Don’t Play Around” on March 18th, through which they also expressed their hopes and goals for their future.
CHI CHI is the first girl group created by entertainment company, Yedang Entertainment - an agency known to house successful artists like Kim Gun Mo, Lee Jung Hyun, and Wax.
As soon as the showcase began, the seven members – Nara, Jiyoo, Pichi, Semi, Boreum, Aji, and Suee – walked up on stage to introduce themselves before they began performing “Don’t Play Around”.
The members expressed, “We worked really hard to prepare for our debut, so we have a lot to show when we go out on music programs. We’ll be showcasing great music, so we hope for your anticipation and interest.”
They continued, “Since it was our first time performing today, we weren’t able to show our best because we were all very nervous, but we will continue to work harder. We will make lots of great music to show that we are worthy of your anticipation.”

 When asked if there were any girl groups they considered to be their rivals, CHI CHI replied, “Our goal is to overtake the nation’s best girl group, SNSD. Becoming Asia’s best girl group is also another goal of ours. We believe our strong point is performing unique music.”
Actress Hong Soo Ah also made an appearance at the showcase to support her juniors. She cheered, “I hope these CHI CHI friends take the spot of the best idol group.”
She continued, “I had a listen of “Don’t Play Around”, and I really liked it. I also wanted to become a member of the group, but being an idol at my age is a bit…”, making the audience burst into laughter.

CHI CHI will hold their debut stage through SBS’s “Inkigayo” this coming March 20th.
