Notable highlights of Philippine
entertainment news on a wider scope would often involve Filipino talents wowing
international critics and audiences on an international stage. Sometimes it
does not even need to be a homegrown personage. Celebrities of Filipino blood
doing well in their performances and ventures can also be cheered upon. Then we
have those local talent hopefuls that get once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to
be refined in their craft by overseas agencies. We have a recent example in
SB19, the ShowBT-trained P-Pop boy band. Another young Pinoy star getting the
South Korean-style star power development is a Kapamilya, singer-actress
Chantal Videla.
The Philippine Star reports that Chantal Videla is well on her way to
becoming a K-Pop-style idol. Her development is in the capable hands of MLD
Entertainment (Duble Sidekick), which includes among its talents the K-Pop girl
group MOMOLAND. In fact, MLD has been giving “Chanty” quite the push since her
introduction to South Korean audiences in November of 2021. Already there is
speculation that the label is shaping Videla up to become part of a new group
in the vein of MOMOLAND. Reinforcing this is Chantal recently being seen with
Shana Nonaka, a Japanese contestant of South Korean reality talent competition “Girls
Planet 999.”
Chantal Videla has been a solid
presence in many teleseryes produced over the years by ABS-CBN, like “Hiwaga ng
Kambat” and “Starla” and other series developed under Dreamscape Entertainment.
But Chanty, of Filipino-Argentian stock, is also a singer, and now her
performances under MLD are building a grand online following through their
YouTube channel. While there is no concrete hint yet that Videla would
eventually become part of this new MLD girl group, the feeling is strong where
her fans are concerned. MLD and ABS-CBN have been pretty tight ever since they
inked a co-management agreement for MOMOLAND in 2019.
