Chungha open up about her special relationships with Sunmi and I.O.I's members

In an interview with news1 ahead of official return with album "Already Midnight", the singer talked about her friendship with Sunmi and the old members of I.O.I.

Chungha  said Sunmi like a sister to her, “She really worries for me like an older sister. She gives me food to eat. Whenever I ask, she gives me advice and takes care of me, so it’s always comforting.”

She’s also still close with the members of I.O.I. “At MAMA this year, I was reminded of when I.O.I first performed together. The members and I talked about it, too.”

Chungha also revealed how they were the first to hear her upcoming song. “Doyeon and Yoojung said they wanted to listen again and cheered me on, asking me to make my comeback soon. When my teaser photo came out, Yeonjung made it her profile picture. I was so thankful.”

Chungha also talked about group and solo activities, “It’s all different. In a group, the members each have their position, whether in a song or on a variety show. On a variety show, even if I’m just relaxed, there’s a member that’s good [at what the show wants us to She added, “What’s good about being solo is that I can do what I want on stage. On the other hand, I was never strong in variety shows, so those are hard for me.”
