Who is Cignature’s Chloe? Data science major goes viral for teaching K-pop fans coding

K-pop idol Chloe from Cignature is studying at the University of Michigan

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: While Cignature fans already knew how intelligent member Chloe was, her teaching fans coding on VLive had non-fans shocked. With hundreds of K-pop debuts every year, it takes more than talent to stand out and make a mark. Sometimes it takes one old song going viral for a nugu (small) group to get popular as in the case of Brave Girls. Well, it looks like Cignature's Chloe being a data science major just might be what takes the group out of nugudom.

On August 19, Chloe had gone on VLive as she shared she wanted fans to give her some company while she studied. While studying for her classes, at one point she also started explaining what she was doing to the fans watching. Cignature fans already knew that she was studying at the University of Michigan and had often spoken about her major during interviews.
