As in minessage niya ako before tapos pina-check niya sa akin yung contract na in-offer sa kanya, if ganun ba talaga. And ngayon na na-launch na siya ang saya saya ko. Para akong proud ate kasi ka-batch ko siya nung ni-launch kami ng Star Magic 2018. And also yung MLD, yung company niya, mini-message din ako if I can help na i-promote si Chantal, ganyan. Nung mga times na nilalabas pa lang siya sa mga music video, yung hinid pa siya nilo-launch talaga as kpop idol,” she said during the Beyond the Stars: Star Magic US Tour media launch. <a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2018/7/5/fresh-scoops/charlie-dizon-could-have-been-the-first-pinoy-to-b-46880' target='_blank'>READ: Charlie Dizon could have been the first Pinoy to become a K-Pop star</a>Even if it’s been a while since she performed with a girl groun on stage, Charlie admitted she has not closed her doors on pursuing a career in South Korea if given the opportunity. “Siguro ngayon kung bibigyan ako ng chance maging kpop ido, nahihiya ako kasi hindi ko alam kung kaya ko pa yung training nila kasi sobrang tagal talaga and ang haba ng training.
