Career

A year after Lollipop was formed, Channel [V] is ready to create the second batch pop group of Bang Bang Tang variety show.[1] After a round of making-the-band competitions, ten boys remained. Prior to the creation of Choc7, two five-member groups were formed: "Knights of Princess (Gong Zhu Bang)"; and "Elite of Otaku (Zhai Nan Shu)", which battled with each other in order to win the available spots in the new to-be-formed group.[1] The former is formed by 翁瑞迪 (Ah Ben),韦佳宏 (Ye Shou), 簡翔棋 (Xiao Ma), 王勇翰 (Han Jiang), and 邱翊橙 (Mao Di),[2] while the latter is formed by 江振愷 (Terry), 劉祿存 (Louis/Xiao Lu), 吳俊諺 (Wei Yu), 李銓 (Li Quan), and 謝東裕 (Ya Gao).[3] The two groups battled simultaneously, which includes releasing of the same EPs with different tracks as part of their next stage of competition.[2][3] On 11 July 2008, the two groups released an EP album entitled Adventure World (冒險世界),[4] which consists of two versions, as said earlier. Eventually, 3 members were eliminated, and 7 were able to advance.[5] Choc7, the newly formed group after Lollipop, was finally announced in 2008.[6]

On 29 May 2009, Choc7 released their first EP entitled Too Young (太青春),[7] which consists of three songs. The first song, Tai Qing Chun, was written by their seniors, Lollipop; the second song, Wo Tai Ben was written by Mao Di's brother, Wang Zi; and the third song Deng Shen Me was written by Choc7's Wei Yu (吳俊諺).[7]

In 2010, Mao Di and his co-member Wei Yu (吳俊諺) signed under A Legend Star Entertainment, and a rumor of Choc7's disbandment was spread and heard. However, it is still not confirmed as of 2012.[8]
