- 7 years ago
A 17-year-old Filipina contestant in a Korean reality show impressed the judges not only for her talent, but also for her good command of the Korean language.
Kriesha Tiu, also known as Chrisha Choo, is a trainee for Urban Works ENT, a Korean agency. Originally from Cebu, Choo was scouted by the company while she was in San Francisco, California.
She then flew to Korea with her mother and younger brother. Choo said she went to a Korean institute to study the language, while honing her skills with the company.
For her audition for "K-Pop Star 6," Choo sang "I Don't Love You" by Urban Zakapa. She also danced to Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend."
The judges, YG Entertainment's Yang Hyun-suk, JYP Entertainment's Park Jin-young, and Antenna Music's You Hee-yeol, were impressed with Choo's performance, with Yang saying he wants to bring her into his company right away.
The judges also lauded her for her effort in learning the language.
For its last season, "K-Pop Star" lifted the restriction on existing trainees, allowing anyone to participate in the show.
The winner of the final season will be jointly debuted and promoted by the three companies.
