Tiu impressed the judges of SBS&#x27;s &quot;K-Pop Star 6&quot; with her stand-out performance of JYP&#x27;s song &quot;Swing Baby&quot; with fellow contestants Kim Sohee and Kim Hyerim as the group &quot;KWINs.&quot; JYP Entertainment&#x27;s Park Jin-young, one of the judges of the talent show, said Tiu, as translated by Koreaboo, &quot;perfectly captured the feeling of the swing dance and song,&quot; describing her volume and tone as &quot;refreshing.&quot; It led to her earning a spot in the grand finals, alongside three others. 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. A fan favorite, she first caught the attention of the judges of &quot;K-Pop Star 6,&quot; which also includes YG Entertainment&#x27;s Yang Hyun-suk and Antenna Music&#x27;s You Hee-yeol, with her audition where she performed &quot;I Don&#x27;t Love You&quot; by Urban Zakapa and danced to Justin Bieber&#x27;s &quot;Boyfriend.&quot;She was eliminated from the competition back in January but was brought back on the show after being saved by the judges. The winner of the final season of &quot;K-Pop Star 6&quot; will be jointly debuted and promoted by the three companies.
