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.”


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!”

Why does girl group CHI CHI’s contract have a ‘no plastic surgery‘ termination clause?

CHI CHI’s unusual contract terms, stipulations, and conditions are garnering much attention. The 7-member girl group, who recently debuted with the the song “Don’t Play Around“, are under a contract that states, “If you get plastic surgery, your contract will be terminated immediately.”

On April 11th, an official from CHI CHI’s agency confirmed, “If a member from CHI CHI were to get plastic surgery, then her contract will be terminated. This clause is intended to encourage their natural beauty.” He added, “One can improve their appearance with plastic surgery, but when thinking about the future of these kids, we decided that keeping their natural look is the best course of action. The members also stated that getting plastic surgery would be a big burden. We consulted with their parents beforehand and everyone agreed it would be the best to avoid plastic surgery.”

Meanwhile, CHI CHI is currently promoting their creative, electronic-house dance music. They’re showing their fresh charms as a rookie group, and with their strong debut song, “Don’t Play Around”, the girls are quickly becoming one of the top rookie groups of the 1st half of 2011.

After her elite background was discovered the other day, netizens have uncovered proof of CHI CHI member Ji-U’s dedication to music.

Pictures from her high school days were revealed through her minihompy, documenting her practice with the haegeum, a Korean traditional instrument.

She attached the captions, ‘During my 12th grade entrance exam‘, and “This was when I already had callouses so it didn’t hurt much… Calluses where are you now….


Although they were a testament to her love of music, fans were shocked nonetheless by the deep callouses on each of her fingers.

A representative from her agency stated, “Jiyoo is a practice worm. Despite her young age, her passion has been maintained due to the hard effort she put in since she was a child. She does not mind having to practice hard to fulfill her dreams.”

The hardworking idol is currently a student of traditional Korean music at Ewha Women’s University.

CHI CHI member Jiyoo became a hot topic after it was discovered that she had a unique personal background.
Ji-U, who is currently a student of traditional Korean music at Ewha Women’s University, graduated from Gukak National Middle and High School as a ‘Korean traditional music goddess’, thanks to her talent. Though the classes are notoriously demanding and challenging, Ji-U led her class as either a 1st or 2nd place student.

As for her family background, her father is an executive board member on one of Korea’s leading automobile companies and her mother is an elementary school teacher.

The combination of Ji-U’s looks, school records, and family background placed her on the list of celebrity ‘umchinddals‘, or ‘mom’s friend’s daughter’, a term to describe perfect girls that others can only envy.

A representative stated,
Ji-U, who studied traditional Korean music since she was little, has an extraordinary talent for music. Besides playing the haegeum, gayageum and geomungo for her major, she can also play the piano and guitar well. After her debut, she has been busy completing many schedules, but hasn’t become lazy with her specialty instrument, the haegeum. Soon you will be able to hear Ji-U’s lovely haegeum performances through broadcasts.
