Li Chun (simplified Chinese: 李纯; traditional Chinese: 李純; pinyin: Lǐ Chún; born January 11, 1988 in Yueyang, Hunan, China) is a Chinese singer and actress. Better known as Junjun (ジュンジュン?), she is a former member of the Japanese girl group Morning Musume. Along with Qian Lin, she is one of the few non-Japanese members in the history of Morning Musume.
In 2006, Li Chun participated in the Super Girl singing contest, but failed to enter the top 10. After the contest, Tsunku contacted her and the other Super Girl contestants, who failed to reach the top 10, and held an audition for Morning Musume in Beijing, China. The said audition was even kept secret from the members of Morning Musume themselves.
On March 15, 2007, Li was officially announced to be joining the eighth generation of all girl J-pop group Morning Musume as a "foreign student". Tsunku believed that she and Qian would be the key for Morning Musume's planned expansion into Asia in 2007. Three days later, on March 18, she made her Japanese television debut on Hello! Morning. Within the same week, she moved to Tokyo, Japan.
Her first stage appearance took place during Morning Musume leader Hitomi Yoshizawa's graduation concert on May 6, 2007 at Saitama Super Arena.
