After appearing on ‘Miss Trot 2’, trot singer Heo Chan-mi mentioned the reason she ended up writing a will due to the evil editing of ‘Produce 101’.

On the afternoon of the 24th, a video titled ‘If you feel that the world and God have abandoned you, be sure to watch!ㅣSinger Heo Chan-mi’ was released on the YouTube channel ‘Renew’.

In the released video, Heo Chan-mi talks about why she became an idol in the past, saying, “I happened to appear on a broadcast and ended up going to a company called SM Entertainment. I was 13 years old at that time.”My father is a pastor, and he used to be a singer and composer. My mother was also a singer. “I came into the world after two people at the record company met me,” he said, drawing attention.

Heo Chan-mi added, “My parents were active, so they knew the music industry very well. At first, they didn‘t readily support me. They were strongly against it, but when I decided to go down that path, they thought, ’The market has changed a lot. I can trust you.‘ So they told me to give it a try, even though they weren’t willing.”

Heo Chan-mi, who mentioned her time as a member of the mixed group Coed School, said, “Because we got so much attention, unpleasant things happened. I even think that if we weren‘t famous, this kind of incident wouldn’t have happened. Among the members, a female member related to a male member posted a MeToo message. That message became such a hot topic that the group name and name were mentioned as the number one search term on portal sites. That‘s how we disbanded.”



Heo Chan-mi said, “I intentionally avoided music shows, but after resting at home, I became curious and wanted to stand on stage again. That’s why I was dreaming of making a comeback, and I got the offer to appear on ‘Produce 101’. I ended up appearing on that program.”

She continued, “It‘s a program that trainees originally appear on. It’s a program where members who compete and are chosen debut, but I think I received more attention because I had already debuted. Then, right before filming, I got vocal nodules. Since we were about to go on stage, and it was a team mission, I said, ‘The high notes are hard, so another member will take this part, and I’ll take a different part,‘” explaining the situation at the time.

She also said, “I did the activities, so you should do it.” She also said in an interview that she had a hard time speaking. In the end, the other members said she couldn’t do it, so she took on the main vocal part and went on stage. In the end, she lost her voice.“



Heo Chan-mi confessed, ”That image was portrayed as me being greedy for the kids and taking on that part, causing me to lose my voice on stage. The editing became a controversy over my character. The related search terms even showed ‘character’.“

Heo Chan-mi confessed, ”That‘s why I thought that many people were looking at me like that after seeing this, so I couldn’t go outside.“ She continued, ”I thought it would be hard to recover, and that I wouldn‘t be able to continue my career as a singer. I even had extreme thoughts. I even wrote down my will to post on SNS. I made up my mind to post it and leave this world,” he confessed, causing shock.

Meanwhile, Heo Chan-mi appeared on Mnet’s ‘Produce 101’, which aired in 2016.
