All-rounded artists (G)I-DLE will make you go 'HWAA' with comeback
Monday, January 11, 2021 
(G)I-DLE returns with ‘HWAA’ after five months since their 'DUMDi DUMDi' comeback. Composed by leader Soyeon, ‘HWAA’ is a song of parting with oriental instrumental sounds blended
with winter-like cool vibes. The group’s 4th Mini Album [I burn] contains songs that will allow you feel
the emotions in the process of getting back happiness after parting.
The online media showcase was hosted by announcer Oh Jung-yeon, who will be familiar to viewers of ‘I am a
Survivor!’, where fellow
member Yuqi also participated in.
The girls
of (G)I-DLE entered the stage with their red, white
and gold stage outfits, giving off royal vibes. As expected from the Queens!
(G)I-DLE started of the showcase by wishing everyone a happy new year. When asked
about how the girls spent their new year, Minnie replied that they were practicing for their comeback and they
attended MBC’s Gayo Daejejeon on New Year’s Eve. “We had an
enjoyable new year together!”
The three visual concepts that fully complement the emotional concept of a scar from parting to the full blooming again proved that (G)I-DLE are indeed the Queens of Concepts!
“It
is also the first time in my life having red hair,” said Minnie, who also explained that her red
hair symbolised the Fire element in their album. She revealed that idea of her
red hair was suggested by Soyeon as the leader felt that Minnie suited the colour well. Soyeon, on the other hand, had her hair dyed silver, to represent
the winter and cold element in the album.
Shuhua: I want to hear Neverlands’ cheering!
Just like how Neverland misses us, we wish to meet them too! When it is possible,
we hope to hold a concert.
Q: What is
the concept of the album and message that you wish to emphasise?
Soyeon: Instead of the message, we wish to convey the emotions of the
songs to listeners.
Q: What is the secret behind the success of your online concert which was held in the middle of COVID-19?
Miyeon: We wanted to meet all our fans and we held the online concert. As we cannot physically meet one another currently, we hope to be able to do so after COVID-19.
Q: What are
some results and ‘related-phrases’ that you wish to achieve in this comeback?
Soyeon: We wish to get 1st place if it is possible.
Q: For this comeback, Minnie and Yuqi have released
their own self-composed track. How do you feel about it? As a foreign member,
it is not easy to write Korean lyrics, how did you work on that?
Minnie: I was excited about it and happy that Neverlands who have
waited for this time can hear my song.
Yuqi: I wrote it on my own. Soyeon and Minnie are good but I am a ‘new-composer’. I hope to show more songs to Neverlands in the future.
Minnie: This is our first comeback of 2021, we prepared a lot to show
you. Please look forward to us in this comeback as well!
Shuhua: Please look forward to our promotions. Also, the concept of
our album actually suits the weather right now!
Yuqi: It’s a new year and we have made our comeback. The weather is
rather cold now but when you listen to our album, we hope that you will feel
warmer from the ‘fire’. We hope to promote this comeback while being healthy and
have fun! Wishing everyone an enjoyable 2021!
Soojin: This is an album with a lot of precious songs that the
members have participated in writing and composing. Please be careful of the
cold and be healthy.
