Growing up poor, there is so much at stake with her becoming successful at OME. After her parents died, she became the caretaker of a younger sister who she left with relatives in the country as she went to Seoul to pursue not only her dreams, but a way out of their life of hardship. Touted as the next big female K-pop export, Chan-Mi is supposed to stay single, stay focused, and stay out of trouble, all of which she casts to the wind in being in a relationship with Supreme.
