Chi Chi Selects Girls’ Generation as Role Models
Rookie girl band, Chi Chi, once again said they want to be like Girls’ Generation in the future and stressed that Girls’ Generation are their role models and that they really respect them.
When the girl group, Chi Chi, debuted last month, they said, “Our goal is to be like Girls’ Generation”, for which they have been misunderstood as pretentious.
To clarify this misunderstanding, Chi Chi once again spoke about their wish to become as successful as Girls’ Generation, this time stressing that Girls’ Generation are their role models rather than rivals.
The girls of Chi Chi said, “We respect our seniors, Girls’ Generation, and that was why we mentioned that we hope to be like them. We also said that we want to be loved by everyone, regardless of sex and age, just like them. Girls’ Generation are our role models and we would like to show our respect for them. They are a top idol group not only in Korea, but in whole Asia. They are role models to us who are lacking in many areas.”
Meanwhile, Girls’ Generation has been announced to return to the Korean music market in September.

CHI CHI will be coming back in May
CHI CHI debuted as an electronic house group with their track, “Don’t Play Around” in the beginning of March. Even though they got negative comments on their live performances, the girls didn’t give up and decided to show a better side of them.
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.’”
The girls also explained that they’ll end promotions for their debut song at the end of this month, and will be coming back somewhere in May with a new song. The new song is said to be a lot more melodious than their debut track.

CHI CHI is already receiving variety program requests
Just one week into their debut, CHI CHI has already left a strong first impression on music fans and is already receiving the attention of industry representatives.
Their debut itself is notable, especially since it’s rare for a rookie to be given a performance spot on all three of the public networks, as well as a cable channel in their first week of a debut.
Despite competing against a stream of other idol debuts, CHI CHI is rated to have made their own mark, ranking in on major portal search rankings after each debut performance.
Their representative commented, “We’ve been receiving many variety program requests just a week into the girls’ debut. Because they are rookies that have just debuted, we will be working to introduce ‘Don’t Play Around’ through as much programs as possible.”

CHI CHI’s practice video for “Dont Play Around” revealed
A dance video from rookie group CHI CHI was recently revealed, and has been gaining interest from new fans and netizens alike.
The girls are seen practising their choreography for ‘Don’t Play Around‘, but what caught the attention was the fact that eight girls were present in the dance, rather than the original seven.
It turned out that the eighth member was in fact actress Hong Soo Ah, who had dressed up for fun in CHI CHI’s stage outfit, and even completely mastered the group’s dance.
Hong Soo Ah expressed, “I congratulate the CHI CHI members for their debut stage. These are the girls I’ve known to like and look over for a while. The addictive melody of the song, together with their cute choreography, is really impressive. I’ve had thoughts of wanting to dance with them. There was a time when I dreamed of becoming an idol singer like CHI CHI, and right now (thanks to them), it feels like a part of that dream has come true. If I’m ever given the opportunity, I’d like to go on stage and perform with them, and not just stop at making videos like this.”
She continued, “A lot of people are gaining interest in CHI CHI. I can feel that the group’s presence has lifted ever since their showcase. As they’ve worked hard to have their debut stage, I hope everyone gives them the support they need to give good music and performances, so that they could become the nation’s representative girl group.”
