chérise

A group breathing its very last breath

Chérise is a group that debuted all the way back in 2012, and has seen many members join and leave over the years. They were moderately famous in the early years, but terrible management would eventually become Chérise's demise. The company kept trying to keep them alive desperately, yet would kill them again with their own crappy management decisions. With a lack of payment and bad living circumstances, the group was getting fed up with their company. When in a last desperate move, their company added two young, fresh and naive trainees to the group, the other members snapped. There was no way they would allow those young girls to perform their y songs. They've had enough and requested to nullify their contracts after their first gig with the new line-up, including the contracts of the young ones. When the company refused, it ended up in court, and the five members of Chérise vanished.

The reason why they vanished was because they were still bound to their contracts all the way until the lawsuit ended in 2020. They won, and were finally free, but what now? The older members expected their careers to be over, and requested for the younger ones to try again if they wanted to. But it all changed when Alina mentioned the new survival show she had heard of, and was scared to go alone. Alina joining a survival show alone or with Maya somehow ended up in the whole group joining them. And here we are.

Chérise's last hurrah. They came as a group, appearing on cameras for the first time in almost 4 years, to the shock of many. Alina and Maya had grown older, but Chérise still refused to do concepts those two weren't really considered old enough for. They are aware that one of them joining the final group would probably result in Chérise never being complete again, but they are fine with it. The older members are there to enjoy their last moments on camera, not really having high expectations because of their age and reputation, while the young ones focus on putting themselves out there to make it to the final group. A 30+ year old still aiming for the spotlight, a woman eternally overshadowed by the people around her, a female idol actively breaking the dating taboos, a sweet, naive foreigner and a little bomb of talent that may be disregarded because she doesn't fit idol standards.

LOVE INTEREST Dating Kim Namhyung (aka uno buckx) since 2019, but that's not known to the public yet

 

NOTABLE FACTS 

- Her voice is on the lower register compared to her groupmates, making her stand out

- Known for her androgynous charms, she can both give the energy of a y woman and a handsome boy, and she enjoys playing with that gender concept

- Seems intimidating, but actually quite timid, the quietest member of the group

- Daughter of a very famous singer, also tends to be biased less in Chérise. She's always compared to other people and that gives her the urge to stand out more. But then she's also scared that she will make people dislike her, and she will seem obnoxious.

- She joined Chérise in Hasta Luego era

LOVE INTEREST In a long-term relationship with Hotshot's Junhyuk, it's been known to the public since 2018

 

NOTABLE FACTS 

- Got into a dating scandal with Hotshot's Junhyuk in 2018. Now the normal fans accept it and love the couple. They're very open about their relationship unlike other idols, because they want to battle the stereotype.

- Lexi has always been a very open person and has talked a lot about things that are seen as taboo for idols, like periods, relationships, and the issues with the idol industry. She's gotten quite the reputation for it, but she keeps going. The industry is dumb, she wants to help change it.

- Very loud, fun and bright personality, always bouncing off the walls. People often call her immature for her older age. She still has that rookie energy somehow.

- Both very loved and hated among netizens, probably the person that got the most attention from all of Chérise

- First song with Chérise was Oppa, you're mine

LOVE INTEREST Esports pro and childhood friend Mersa

 

NOTABLE FACTS

- Got accepted for her visuals, turned out to be an absolute vocal talent.

- Born and raised in Greece, still has feelings for her childhood friend from back there, who is now playing League of legends professionally

- Sweet as cotton candy, sees the best in everyone, still believes the idol industry is not as bad as it seems, she just believes she and Chérise got very unlucky, and will succeed now. Oh sweet summer child, you're too good for this world

- Joined Chérise right before disbandment

LOVE INTEREST She's mega gay and will definitely develop a crush on another contestant of the same age at one point. Girls just have to smile her way and she just falls to the floor dramatically.

 

NOTABLE FACTS 

- Spent her elementary school years in Malmö, Sweden. That's where she got the name Maya from, as her friends had given her that as a nickname. A honorary Swede according to said friends.

- When she got added to Chérise, she had a really short trainee time. In the inactive years, she trained relentlessly and became a talent bomb that will probably steal some lead and main positions if they ever perform together again. She has become a dangerous triple threat. She's been dancing since she was 5.

- Her talent is often disregarded by netizens because of her visuals not really fitting the korean beauty standards (but shes so CUTE??) and also because she doesn't really have this elegant, girly personality

- Disaster gay, a fun, brave, bold and very shady young rascal. The nail in Kaeun's coffin, and Lexi's, and Eunjin's, and every mentor on the show as well while we're at it

- Joined Chérise right before disbandment
