Q. What was the most memorable activity or moment after your debut?
Lee Chan: My most memorable moment was when I won first place on JTBC’s ‘Peak Time’ with the song ‘CoCo Colada.’ When I first received the song, I had a lot of concerns about whether I could perform it well, but I was really happy to receive good reviews for my new look.
D1: I remember the exciting debut stage and hearing the fans cheering on music broadcasts after the pandemic.
Heechan: I remember the moment when we opened with the fan song ‘Bestie’ at our first fan showcase. When the lights came on after the dark game, I was very moved to see the faces of the fans looking at us.
Yuku: I remember when we did the Japan Jeff tour last year. I was happy to be able to show BB and my family a great performance on the stage I had always wanted to stand on even before my debut.
GK: I am considerate and understanding with the members. Thanks to this, I think the members who lived in different environments were able to come together as one.
Rune: After four years of living together, our teamwork has become stronger. I think I will be able to navigate the future journey well together with the team.
