Kim Chung Ha recalls being one of the first celebrities to catch COVID19 + shows appreciation for ATEEZ’s Hongjoong

On March 12, Kim Chung Ha appeared as a guest on the KBS CoolFM radio program, ‘Lee Eun Ji’s Gayo Plaza‘.

On this day, Kim Chung Ha greeted listeners with the release of her new single, “EENIE MEENIE” feat. Hongjoong of ATEEZ. First, on her new song, the singer commented, “I actually wanted to do a song that was more befitting of the image that the public has of me. But then I received this song, and it was something so new to me. But then it kept lingering in my head, and I also thought that if I didn’t try something like this now, it might be difficult later on.” 

Kim Chung Ha also showed her appreciation for ATEEZ’s Hongjoong, who featured in her song, stating, “As soon as it became 6 PM, Hongjoong sent me vitamins as a gift and wrote, ‘Fighting’. He is so kind and is just an overall perfect human being.” 

During the radio program, Kim Chung Ha also recalled her experience of being one of the first Korean celebrities to catch COVID19 in 2020. She said, “Everyone was afraid of COVID at the time. I felt like I’d become a criminal.” She added on, “Because of that experience, I don’t like to go places where there are a lot of people. It’s remained a sort of a trauma for me.”
