Taking K-pop scene by storm, Chungha angles for another hit

January 2, 2019

SEOUL, Jan. 2 (Yonhap) — Chungha barely made it into the top 40 of the 101 K-pop idol wannabes who competed in the 2016 Mnet talent competition reality show “Produce 101″ when the result of the show’s first round was announced.

By the show’s end, however, she was ranked fourth best of the show’s final 11 winners who went on to formally debut as girl band I.O.I the same year.

Chungha proved herself again on the K-pop scene when she became the first of the 11 I.O.I members to debut as a solo singer in mid-2017 following the girl group’s disbanding earlier that year.

Since then, the past year and a half have been a dream come true story for Chungha, who has made solid hits out of all three of her releases.

This year, she is heading toward another milestone in her K-pop career with her new single, “Gotta Go” — or “Already Midnight” in Korean — set to be officially released Wednesday evening.

The new song is the work of producing duo Black Eyed Pilseung and star producer Jeon Goon, who jointly created Chungha’s hit song “Roller Coaster,” released in January last year.
