About Chiquita
Chiquita is the youngest of Babymonster's seven members and the last of them to be recruited: Yang Hyun-suk added her to the project after just three months of training, the shortest run of anyone in the group, and she then prepared alongside the others for three more years. She was the third of the seven to appear in the performance videos of early 2023, and, like Pharita, was mentored as a trainee by Blackpink's Lisa.
