Quotes

  • I can say that I am confident in dancing. I began dancing well before I started preparing to become a singer. However, I don't want to necessarily create a stage just for pure attraction.
  • [2017 Interview on Chungha's role models] I've been a huge fan of Lee Hyo-ri sunbae-nim ever since I was little. As soon as I saw her I was amazed by how cool she looked, not to mention her beautiful appearance, I respect her performances. She is full of charisma. I also look up to BoA sunbae-nim for music inspiration. I listened to BoA's CDs so many times. I would like to learn how to sing and dance like her.
