“I feel really happy that I’m a K-pop idol, that I can call myself one. Not everyone gets that opportunity… It’s a really big blessing for me, and I’m really grateful. At the same time, of course, it comes with a lot of sacrifices, effort and difficulties.” Balancing the world of K-pop and local showbiz, Chanty carries both range and resilience. She knows her ground is earned, never given. Her presence as one of MEGA’s Women to Watch proves she isn’t split between two worlds—she is building one of her own. Get to know these women in MEGA’s September 2025 issue, pre-order on @sarisari.shopping. Subscribe to the MEGA Digital Access to read more.

Being a K-pop idol, #ChantyVidela (@itsmaria.chantal) admits, is both a blessing and a sacrifice. From once being a fan to now living the dream, she’s felt the discipline, pressure, and weight of perfection firsthand. Debuting at 19 gave her the power of choice, but she empathizes with those who start too young, missing school and battling broken self-image. For now, Chanty is keeping herself grounded in the Philippines—through acting, her craft, and her growth. She knows the spotlight can be fleeting, but she’s chasing meaning, not permanence. The MEGA Women to Watch don’t need to say they’re the ones to watch. You’ll see it in the way they embody possibility—as if the future has already chosen them. Meet them on MEGA’s September 2025 Issue. Pre-order now on @sarisari.shopping. Full reveal on August 29, 2025. Video by @corrorrorro @heinyunderscore
