EUN CHAE : We tried to upgrade our energetic side with this album , so I hope to share our unique energy with more people .
YOONA : For our debut , I think we were more nervous and had a rather stiff image of ‘ We ’ re bugAboo ! Hello !’. Since it ’ s our second album , we ’ re trying to relax more and really express our hidden energy .
The track “ POP ” uses its very first few beats to hook listeners and continues to pay off with some smart contrasting elements , to the dance beat incorporated in the chorus ! Were there any elements of the song that you ’ d say took time to fine-tune , due to its ambition ?
ZIN : I think the most challenging part was to find a groovy rhythm on such a hard-hitting beat . Also , I studied a lot about my own voice tone because I thought it doesn ’ t stick very well with ‘ POP .’
YOONA : It was quite difficult to record my part , “ everything will pop , so thrilling ” because this part ’ s beat is very fast . So I had to work more on pronunciation and rhythm .
We then transition into “ Easy Move ” which is a really nice choice for a B-side since there ’ s a solid groove to it that might feel unfamiliar to bugAboo ! In what way would you say this song feels like it fits the bugAboo style you ’ re aiming to create ?
RAINIE : Honestly , we just wanted to try different concepts and send various messages through music . Our b-side track is very good , so hopefully , listeners can pay attention to it as well .
CHO YEON : I wanted to deliver the message in ‘ Easy Move ’ to RAINBOO because the message of ‘ don ’ t be stuck in one thing , let ’ s go find new answers ’ was very memorable . I thought that we must include this song in the album .
I also read that your music video involved choreography from Harimu of Street Dance Girls Fighter , so how intimidating was that process – and how much did you learn from that process as dancers ?
EUN CHAE : We learned a lot about positive energy and powerful dancing from her . She is just full of energy and good vibes , so I think our synergy worked really well together .
CYAN : CYAN : We ’ ve been admiring the talents of Amazon crew members , so it was amazing to learn dance from Harimu ! She taught us a lot about how to control our body power , so I hope you focus on that while watching our music video and performances .
