Kim Chungha, or simply known by her stage name Chungha, is a former contestant on "Produce 101," representing her previous agency MNH Entertainment.

The ace quickly caught everyone's attention for her humble personality, impressive vocal technique, range, and most of all, her unrivaled dancing skills. Eventually, she finished in fourth place, leading her to become a member of project girl group I.O.I.

I.O.I established a massive following domestically and internationally with their popular songs such as "Very Very Very," "Dream Girls," "Miss Me?" "Pick Me," and more. On January 29, 2017, I.O.I officially disbanded, with regards to their limited contract periods.

This forced every member to proceed with their own endeavors, including Chungha, who debuted as a soloist under MNH Entertainment on June 7, 2017. Chungha released her first mini album "Hands on Me," and its title track "Why Don't You Know."

Chungha gradually built a loving fanbase by releasing beloved tracks such as "Roller Coaster," "Love U," and the unforgettable "Gotta Go."
