Cheris Lee

Cheris Lee (李函穆; 체리스; born 11 September 1996), is a Singaporean singer, dancer, model and actress. Lee is a former member of the South Korean girl group, GBB.

Pre-debut
Lee was scouted by one of South Korea's biggest entertainment company, SM Entertainment, when she was 15 years old while on a holiday. However, she rejected the offer to become a singer as her mother opposed her to go to South Korea alone and she did not know about the company and K-pop. After returning to Singapore, she discovered the charms of the Korean wave, as well as her passion for singing and dancing since young, so she started contacting various South Korean entertainment agencies. From there, she began flying back and forth between Singapore and South Korea for 3 years, while studying at Outram Secondary School and ITE College West, before officially flying to South Korea to become a full-time trainee.

Lee was a trainee for 7 years and 4 months, and had 3 opportunities to debut but were all cancelled in the end. Lee also made a cameo appearance in Thailand TV series, Zeal5 in 2015.
