“We don’t want hear people saying ‘There comes another cheesy girl group.’” Rookie girl group EXID revealed their aspiration and stories behind their debut.
The six-member girl group made the debut in the K-Pop world with the song “Holla” on February 16.
Creating an issue for being produced by Shinsa-dong Horang,” EXID had an interview on Xportsnews at the AB Entertainment office, in Cheongdam-dong, on February 24.
They are all-ready members
Yooji, Junghwa, Haelyung, and Hani used to be trainees at JYP Entertainment, one of the major entertainment agencies in Korea. Junghwa spent five years at JYP. When she just belonged to the agency, at the age of 12, she took part in shooting the music video of the song “Tell Me.”
LE used to be a member of Jiggy Fellaz, with the name Elly, and is a rapper, who featured songs of MBLAQ and Huh Gak. She is the only member who was cast by the producer Shinsa-dong Horang himself.
Unexpectedly, EXID came out with the song with a style that seems to be a lot different from their producer’s. The title song “Whoz That Girl” features drums and bases, excluding electronic sound, which means the highlighted rap and vocal part. And that is a lot different from producer Shinsa-dong Horang’s unique, treandy, and electronic style.
Hani explains, “That’s a strategy to go reverse, to avoid being too ordinary. He (the produce) discussed a lot with us before producing ‘Whoz That Girl.’ He predicted songs of relaxing style will be in trend rather than song that are prevalent now.”
What about the next song after “Whoz That Girl”? Janghwa eluded the reply by saying, “Horang is now in the middle of producing it, and I haven’t heard of it.” However, the other members replied, “We will show the different side that hasn’t been released.”
