OH! MY GIRL ESCORTS SINGAPORE FANS TO THEIR 'SECRET GARDEN'

Sunday, May 13, 2018

OH! MY GIRL brought Singapore MIRACLEs to their ‘Secret Garden’ on 5 May at the Resorts World Theatre, Resorts World Sentosa for their first fan meeting in our country. Home to the catchy tunes “Liar Liar”, “Windy Day” and “Closer”, the girl group were donned in matching peach coloured costumes, looking as enthralling as ever. Kicking start the concert with “‘Love O’Clock”, the fans were entranced by the dance synchronisation of the 6 members; vocal and visual Jiho had injured her leg and was unable to take part in the choreographies. “I am still recovering, unfortunately, I can’t dance today as I can’t put too much pressure on my leg.” she shared with the fans.

“Windy Day” ensued shortly after, which is also one of the songs that helped the girl group reach stardom. The folk-pop centric song has an arresting choreography that goes along with it, making it one of the must listen and watch songs from their discography.

After the performances, the group took the time to address Singapore MIRACLEs and introduced themselves individually. Eager to show the fans what they had to offer for today's fan meet, the members were given time to showcase their talents. Seunghee beatboxed while Mimi rapped for the crowd, while members Seunghee and Hyojung beguiled us with their breath-taking vocals. Arin did "aegyo" as the crowd sang the "Gwiyomi song" for her, but fans are already aware that hs ie naturally cute without doing anything.

The show must go on, and the girl group showcased their girl crush charms during their performance of “Butterfly”, followed by sensational B-side “Je T’aime” which showed the softer side of the girl group.

When it comes to working in a group, teamwork is one of the factors that can make or break them. To test the bond of OH! MY GIRL, the girls were assigned different tasks in order to win the challenge. Firstly, Seunghee and Jiho were designated to move 5 beans with long chopsticks to the plate, while YooAhas to spin using the hula hoop 5 times before Hyojung flips a bottle. Next up, Binnie had to throw 5 balls into a container above Mimi’s head and the girls have to form a balloon train (with Arin taking the lead) and walk the circumference of the stage before winning the game With 3 minutes to spare, OH! MY GIRL was able to prove that their friendship is one that is unbeatable.

Bringing back their A game, subunit Banhana performed their first title song “Banana Allergy Monkey”, which showcased one of the many eccentric styles the group is able to pull off. Consisting of Arin, Hyojung and Binnie, the girls were able to make the crowd smile with their radiance.

It was a very special day for Singapore MIRACLEs, and the seven stars were the reason why. The girls were challenged to design three cookies each to showcase their artistic skills, and they were given as gifts to lucky fans! If we were them, we wouldn’t bear to eat the delicious and pretty cookies!

At last, it was time for the girls to bring summer to us. Unleashing their charms once again, they were ready to rob our hearts with hit title song “Listen to My Word (A-ing)” before proceeding with their incredibly catchy debut song, “Cupid”. The girl group definitely managed to shoot our hearts with their love that day!

The incredibly sweet Singapore MIRACLEs prepared a special video for OH! MY GIRL, and the girls were touched by the sweet gesture. As a cake rolled out, the girls were shocked yet thankful when they found out that the cake was to celebrate the group’s 3rd Anniversary, and Mimi’s birthday that passed on 1st May.

Ending on a high note, the girls closed the fan meet with enchanting title song “Closer”, calming beside “B612”, and “Secret Garden”. We hope to see OH! My Girl on our little red dot in the near future, and will be rooting for them to reach their goals!

GOkpop would like to thank LifeMusix Entertainment for giving us the opportunity for coverage.

OH! MY GIRL BRINGS US "CLOSER" TO THEM DURING SINGAPORE PRESS CONFERENCE

Sunday, May 13, 2018

When you think of the word “adorable”, it wouldn’t be a surprise if one of the things that will pop up to your mind would be the girl group named OH! MY GIRL! Stepping foot into our sunny island on 5 May 2018, it marked the girl group’s first press conference in Singapore.

The charming girls took their place on the stage, as they radiated off positive energy to the crowd. To start off the press conference, the group was asked about their reactions to the Banhana subunit's first title song, "Banana Allergy Monkey“. I thought that the song was fresh and different, so I wanted to try the concept out," said Hyo Jung, who is one of the three members of the subunit. Binnie shares that she is at the age where she is still able to explore with this concept, and hence she wanted to try it out as well. With Hyojung, Binnie and Arin consisting of the subunit, the song is not only cute but an absolute bop!

The charming girls took their place on the stage, as they radiated off positive energy to the crowd. To start off the press conference, the group was asked about their reactions to the Banhana subunit's first title song, "Banana Allergy Monkey".

Next up, the girls were asked about their wishes for variety shows. “In order to show you the real sides and charms of OH! MY GIRL, a reality show that is not scripted and shows the real us will be the type of reality show we want!” implored Seunghee, who is known as the powerhouse vocal of the group.

When it comes to this group full of girl crushes, they love to explore more areas of their own talents. Mimi, the rapper of the group, would love to improve on art and drawing, while Binnie would like to try out acting. Hyojung is interested to learn an instrument, such as a piano or a guitar.

As this is OH! MY GIRL's first trip to Singapore, we were intrigued by what they thought of our country, and where they would want to visit during they stay here. “Singapore was one of the countries I wanted to go to, and one of the places I want to visit is the Universal Studios! I saw a sneak peek of the ‘Merlion’ on the way to the hotel and I am also curious about the Night Safari!” YooA professed. as she spoke animatedly about her thoughts.

In the K-pop industry, it is filled with many talented artists, and Seunghee had a hard time choosing who she and the group would want to collaborate with. She said that she is open to collaboration with any artist that wants to collaborate with them! We wouldn’t be surprised if the girl group gets several love calls after this!

Being a K-pop idol also means that travelling opportunities are open frequently. Hence, Arin states that her handphone, cool patch and pumpkin soup are three essential items that she needs when she travels. As Arin is not good in directions, she feels that having a phone will prevent her from getting lost easily. She also mentioned pumpkin soup as her face swells sometimes, and pumpkin soup helps to keep the swelling down.

Although almost half a year is about to past, the girls were asked about their goals, and what they hope to achieve in the year 2018. Leader Hyojung stepped up and told the crowd that she wanted to travel and have a World Tour in the future, while Binnie’s wish was to work hard to wow the crowd during their end of the year performances. However, we are also incredibly proud of the seven-piece girl group for clinching their first win on a music show this year! 2018 is treating OH! MY GIRL well so far and we can’t wait for their future endeavors.
