Cheongha, a member of the girl group I.O.I, showcased her enduring friendship with dancer BLACK.Q (real name Kim Young-hoo).

On the 27th, I.O.I posted on its official SNS, "Suddenly with Mr. BLACK.Q♥," sharing a dance challenge video featuring Cheongha and BLACK.Q.

In the video, Cheongha and BLACK.Q are seen performing together to I.O.I's debut 10th-anniversary single "Suddenly," released on the 19th. The two displayed perfect chemistry as if they had always been in the same team, while their delicate yet unique dance lines instantly captured the attention of global K-pop fans.

Upon seeing this, BLACK.Q left a comment saying, "I'm crying♥," revealing his special affection for Cheongha.

Cheongha and BLACK.Q have been close friends since before their debuts in the entertainment industry. When Cheongha appeared on Mnet's "Produce 101" Season 1, which aired in January 2016, BLACK.Q posted on his personal SNS, "A long-time close friend is appearing. Please vote for Kim Cheongha a lot," publicly supporting Cheongha.

BLACK.Q is a dancer who choreographed hit songs by the girl group NewJeans, including "Attention," "Hype Boy," "Ditto," "OMG," and "Super Shy," and is also known as the "Father of NewJeans."

Notably, in February, during a press conference held by former Ador CEO and current OKELee Re-ko-jeu (CEO) Min Hee-jin regarding the lawsuit with HYBE, BLACK.Q was spotted closely observing Min Hee-jin from below the podium, drawing attention. Furthermore, from the moment he entered the press conference room until he left, he was captured staying right next to Min Hee-jin, carefully attending to her, which also drew attention.

In fact, BLACK.Q has already joined Min Hee-jin's circle. When Min Hee-jin established OK Records, BLACK.Q added the official OK Records account to his personal SNS profile, officially confirming that he has come under Min Hee-jin's wing. Currently, Min Hee-jin is preparing to launch a new boy group at OK Records.
