He said, "When they first reached out to me, I didn't plan to appear [on the show]. However, Sunmi and BTOB Changsub told me to just try it out, so I finally decided to participate [in the show]."
In addition to Sunmi, Cha has also worked with BTOB Changsub and his fellow members in the past. The backup dancer even revealed in one of his YouTube videos that he works out with Changsub.
If it weren't for Sunmi and BTOB Changsub, "Single's Inferno" Cha Hyun Seung wouldn't be as popular as he is today.
Meanwhile, Cha also unveiled during the "Singles" interview that he is gearing up to make his debut as an actor, although he is still not sure when.
