[edit] Biography
In 2006 Li Chun participated in the Super Girl contest (and made it into the top 50, but did not win).[1]
After the losing of the contest, Japanese producer Tsunku had contacted her, along with other Super Girl contestants who had also failed, and held an audition for Morning Musume in Beijing, China, that was even kept from the members themselves.[2]
On March 15, 2007, Li Chun (along with Qian Lin) was officially announced to be joining the eighth generation of all girl J-pop group Morning Musume as a "foreign student".[1][3] Tsunku believes that Qian Lin and her will be key for Morning Musume's planned expansion into Asia in 2007.[2][4][5]
Three days later, on March 18, she made her Japanese television debut on Hello! Morning. Within the same week, she moved to Tokyo, Japan along with Qian Lin.[2]
