K-Pop Group If I Collaborates with IU's Producer for New EP 'As if'

K-pop group If I shared their experience working with producer Lim Soo-ho, known for producing IU's hit song 'LILAC'.

In celebration of the release of their third mini-album 'As if', If I sat down with TenAsia on the 6th to discuss the album.

The members expressed that collaborating with Lim Soo-ho allowed them to contribute various ideas to the album. Member Kasia stated, "I feel like I've grown as an artist while working on this album. We had many opportunities to share our opinions and actively engaged in 'tiki-taka' with the production team." Rahee added, "There were things we couldn't express in our first and second albums, but we were finally able to share our thoughts in the third album. I think we've become stronger as artists during our hiatus."

Tae-rin recalled, "I remember each member was able to express what they wanted to say for each theme, and it was directly reflected in the lyrics." Rahee also mentioned, "Our opinions were heavily incorporated into the album cover. We wanted to emphasize a dreamy feel, so we organized our ideas into a PPT and presented it. Fortunately, our ideas aligned well with the producers, and it was applied, which makes me proud."

If I's third EP 'As if' is themed around questions everyone has pondered at least once. It includes five tracks, with the title track 'Hazy(Daisy)' featuring an energetic rhythm and easy-listening vibe.

Meanwhile, If I's EP 'As if' will be released on various music platforms on the 15th at 6 PM.
