The Tragic Career of Chanmi | KPOP's Unluckiest idols 🤦🏻‍♀️ #1

Hey! So I decided to try something new today by talking about Huh Chanmi/ Heo Chanmi, the unluckiest idol I can think of! If you know of any other contenders for the unluckiest idol, let me know in the comments!

Follow me on:

DISCLAIMER: The comments section seems to be pretty polarized on whether or not to support Chanmi. I just wanted to emphasize the fact that my video isn't meant to persuade you to like or dislike Chanmi. I don't know if the bullying accusations are true, I don't know if she was evil edited on Produce 101, and frankly, I don't have a stance on her personality (aside from the fact that she is hella persistent!). I simply found the story of her career absolutely intriguing which is why I decided to cover it in what I thought was a pretty light-hearted and neutral way.

Quick question, If you were in Chanmi's position, would you have given up? Or would you have continued pursuing a career in the KPOP industry?

SM telling a 15 year old Chanmi that shes too young to debut but also debuted a 15 year old Krystal on 2009. Funny

[rslrsnd]

Mnet really did her dirty by evil editing her on the first season of produce

[gahyeonlvr]

It’s so sad. She trained with some of the most famous idols in the industry and still couldn’t seem to make it, and it didn’t come from her lack of work ethic because she seemed to work very hard and be genuinely talented.

Man imagine being cut from a group and they go on to be one of the biggest kpop girl groups ever I'd be so sad lol

[Samuel_]

IMAGINE the amount of trainee debt she's in tho 😳😳😳

[ydalangin]

And now she debuted solo. She's probably the most persistent kpop idol.

It's crazy that she got cut off from snsd for being too young when she is just 1 year younger than seohyun

[LillysLookForLess]

I hate how when she's 20 years old and they're like "she's too old" like no, she's at the appropriate age to work in the entertainment industry. I think its disgusting that the Kpop Idol industry is so heavily interested in extremely young kids who can't even make decisions for themselves (& thats how they get into these slave contracts). Rooting for her!

Would love to see you do a video on 2NE1, Minzy. Had YG supported Minzy's dance as much as they support Lisa, she wouldn't had left. Such shame.

The most unluckiest part was when she sat on the cursed chair (survival show chair) because it was rumored whoever sat in that chair there career didn't succeed

[AustinPS]

I think the members of Hinapia who were in Pristin are rather unlucky I would say

[miryobae]

This will be a good series, a smart one. Euna Kim is another unlucky person in the Korean music industry

[sophilicity]

Honestly I think we need to talk about The Ark girls, who had such potential, with two of the members (Euna & Minju) becoming KHAN who also disbanded 😓

[myyumyyu]

The amount of hate she got during Produce 101 was so awful! I hope she can become more successful soon! <3

[blytherinne]

chanmi is probably the start/ the first victim of the 'curse seat' in produce series 💀 for those who's wondering, there's a first place seat that you think you'll get before the first class distribution according to your performance in pd. in all 4 season, every person that sit in that seat got evil editing by mnet or just stuck with false bad rumor resulting them being eliminated or kicked out of show. chanmi got evil editing a lot by mnet it's so fcked up 😭

[newaccount]

Could've been a part of Girl's Generation, T-ara, Pristin, IOI and Momoland? Dangg tbh GG was her best shot.

[ririenko]

Sadly I think it’s about looks. Sadly Chanmi never fits the ideal kpop look that these companies went for. I think she would have fit in with Girls Generation look cause back then they were a bit more tan. Chanmi has glown up but sadly now she’s told old for the kpop industry which really sucks cause she’s a talented person.

[celine]

What if she’s actually the luckiest cause she escaped every single group she was in cause they all ended in a bad way.... woah



(Not all of them but I think you get what I’m saying)

[smileflower]

It's sad that many idols work hard and train for harsh periods of time, finally debut in a group and then disband due to lack of success and recognition :(

[kafan]

Chanmi probably doesn't know how to give up anymore, not in the equation. On a Happy Together episode, Solji said she had made 20 albums or something before she was in EXID. There's no time limit on a goal or dream. Or if there is, only Chanmi alone knows when that will be. I find her inspiring.
