Get ready to enjoy the 'ATA Festival 2025' with a detailed look at the lineup. Are you prepared to experience the festival to the fullest?

The group Say My Name has seamlessly integrated their new member Shuie with their latest track 'iLy'.

Say My Name recently released the single 'iLy', which samples Frankie Valli's 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You'. The song retains the harmonic structure of the original while adding a playful beat that highlights the group's unique charm. The arrangement, free of excessive effects, naturally invites listeners to open their hearts.

Fans have praised the track as a 'dedication to new member Shuie'. Comments on the official music video on YouTube include welcoming messages like "Welcome, new cat Shuie," focusing more on the new member than the song itself.

The music video's direction plays a significant role in this positive reception. While the lyrics express overwhelming love for someone, the video depicts the seven original members searching for and embracing a cat named Shuie.

In the opening scene, the members are seen cleaning a pool with smiles. A kitten sits in a bucket, and as the members discover it, the song begins. A scene with an empty cushion prepared for the cat features the caption 'Where is SHUIE', revealing the cat's name. The members teach Shuie, who becomes human, how to take care of herself by feeding her and showing her how to brush her teeth. The video concludes with Shuie brushing her teeth alone in the bathroom, unbeknownst to the members.

Introducing a new member to an established group can be challenging, as it requires convincing fans without causing resistance. New members often struggle to adapt to the existing chemistry among members.

Say My Name successfully set the stage for their chemistry with Shuie through the music video, effectively introducing her character and how she wishes to present herself to fans.

Public interest in Shuie is evident from the YouTube views of individual member-focused videos from music shows. Shuie's solo video from KBS 'Music Bank' on the 1st has garnered 8,400 views, second only to member Hitomi's 10,000 views. Despite the challenges of gaining attention as a new member, Shuie is finding her place thanks to the support of her agency and fellow members.

Say My Name will perform at the global music festival 'ATA Festival 2025' on September 27-28 at Nanji Hangang Park. The first day (September 27) will feature performances by Kim Junsu, Hwang Garam, H1-KEY, Peppertones, Jannabi, Lee Mujin, 10cm, Say My Name, Park Hye-won, Kyungseo, and Eunice.
