The coolest girl group debuts in Japan.
A group of beautiful girls that show a marching band performance in costumes that create a big! impact. A K-Pop girl group that displays high level dances and performances with their model-like figures. With an offer from Amuro Namie-san, they participated in a music video in Amuro-san’s “Checkmate!” before they debuted in Japan.
Kahi : “Being able to work together with Amuro-san, a favorite of mine, is an unforgettable experience. We were able to let people in Japan know about us too. I’d like to definitely meet her again.”
Nana : “The overflowing energy from her small body was amazing. I’ve been idolizing her since I was little.”
There were a lot of female fans at the showcase held before their Japan debut.
Kahi : ”There were even girls who were dressed as us! There were also some who started crying because they were emotionally excited, and I thought how cuuute~.”
Uee : “I was also happy that they tried their best to talk to us in Korean.”
U-ie appeared in the Korean drama “You’re Beautiful,” which was also a huge hit in Japan, as the stuck up Yoo Hae Yi.
Uee : “As I was shopping in Harajuku, a fan came up to me and surprised me. I thought nobody in Japan knew about me. The drama must be popular in Japan too. Jang Geun Suk, who co-starred with me, gave me acting tips since it was my first drama and tried to get everyone to have a good time. He was wonderful.”
In “Let’s Do It!”, they show a perfectly in sync performance using real marching drums. This performance is really innovative and fresh!

Nana : ”We learned from how to hold the sticks (laughs). We practiced 8 hours a day for 8-9 months for our movements to be perfectly in sync. It was really difficult!”
Uee : “We get bruises because the drums hit our thighs”
Joo Yeon : “But we’re working hard to show everyone an amazing performance!”
So it’s a performance that’s built upon hardwork. Are their beauty also a result of hardwork? We asked Kahi, who possesse marvelous abs, and Nana, who appeared in a super model competition.
Kahi : “Exercise is the best way to maintain your figure. I try to workout at least 1 hour.”
Nana : “I think the secret to beauty is “to have confidence.” It’s important to have a sense of self no matter where you are, what clothes you’re wearing, or what you’re doing.”
A lot of girls/women must be captivated by their attractiveness/stylishness in both Korea and Japan.
Joo Yeon : “The dream of promoting/doing activities in Japan came true, so all that’s left to do is churn out results!”
Nana : “I want to show the fans something that goes above and beyond their expectations.”
Uee : “We just started, but I would like to be on dramas and variety shows in Japan too. I have to work on my Japanese (laughs)”
Kahi : “I want to make people think, ‘Girls can do that too.’ I want us to be a group that’s perfect and amazing on stage and thought of like a best friend when we get off stage.”
Nana’s bubble:
Korean-style source of energy is indeed ginseng!
“When I was busy and tired, my mom recommended me to chew and eat [?] of ginseng. I feel myself getting slowly energized afterwards.” [sorry I cant make out what is says about the ginseng chewing]
Kahi’s bubble:
The secret to beauty is in coffee!?
“I like coffee to begin with, but [something about if you drink it before doing whatever activity she mentions here, it increases the cleansing effect. sorry my eyesight is getting worse]

Uee’s bubble:
I separate my shoes for when I’m working and when I’m off
“Since we wear heels that are high for concerts and practice, our feet/legs get swollen. To offset that, I let my feet/legs rest by wearing sneakers and pumps [on off days]” [from the context, I think it says “on off days” but I can’t see it clearly. sorry]
Joo Yeon’s bubble:
Chugging ginseng extract every morning!
“Drinking a liquid ginseng extract sold in Korea is my morning routine. It’s bitter, but [good] for your health! I close my eyes and chug it (laughs)” [again, I had to assume from context. sorry]
