Career
Hello! Project producer Tsunku announced his plans to start a Taiwanese audition in 2007 to find new talent to help the company"s expansion into Asia. The winners would become a part of a new Hello! Project group. There were six winners, including Chiu, and the group are set to debut in 2009 with their mini-album and at a Hello! Project concert.
After failing to pass the public auditions, Chiu was brought back for a special episode in which Tsunku allowed his favourite losers from the auditions and live shows to re-audition for the judges.
However, she was eliminated during this episode once again, and instead was sent to a "last camp" of sorts, where she was eventually chosen, along with Chung An-chi, to join the group as one of Tsunku"s picks.
