Mei Qi’s Pre-Debut
Before Mei Qi debuted under Starship and Yuehua Entertainment, she was just a little girl from Luoyang, Henan, China. But, the little girl deserved to dream big. At a very young age, Mei Qi who was still in junior high school decided to move to Korea to be a trainee. At that time, she was still 15 years old. Fortunately, Mei Qi who was born in Luoyang on October 15, 1998, was able to get her parents’ permission despite being an only child. She also left school before graduating. But, the struggle has come to an end. Mei Qi was introduced to the public on December 21, 2015, as a part of the lineup for the new girl group called Cosmic Girls or WJSN. Mei Qi appeared in a cover of “All I Want for Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey.
Not only Mei Qi but several trainee girls from Starship and Yuehua Entertainment were introduced, too. Mei Qi’s visual caught a lot of people’s attention. The same goes for SeolA, Bona, EXY, Dawon, Cheng Xiao, Eunseo, and Dayoung.
Mei Qi’s Debut in Cosmic Girls
The long-awaited debut of Cosmic Girls finally came to an end. Mei Qi who had been waiting for almost three years finally got a chance to be a K-pop idol. She officially debuted on February 25, 2016, when Cosmic Girls released their very first title track called “MoMoMo.” Cosmic Girls is a South Korean-Chinese girl group since their companies are from two different countries, one from Korea and the other from China. Mei Qi also has two friends who are from China, Cheng Xiao and Xuan Yi. Due to her talent in dancing, Mei Qi became one of the main dancers in the group.
