Berry Good aim for Spain and recognition in interview with Star News

Berry Good “With all the six members…

we’re going to Spain†[interview]

 

Girl group Berry Good (Taeha, Seoyul, Daye, Sehyung, Gowoon, Johyun) debuted in 2014 with single “Love Letterâ€. It’s been three years. The members who were in their late teens at the time of their debut are now in their twenties. There was another change. In November of last year, Johyun joined, making them a six-member group.

 

I met Berry Good, who recently came back with “Bibbidi Bobbidi Booâ€. It was two years and two months since I interviewed Berry Good when they were coming back with “Because of Youâ€. One of the interview titles at the time was â€œBerry Good: With an average age of 17.8 years, we’re becoming more youthful Berry Good!†[and you can read it here and here]

 

High school students Daye, Sehyung and Gowoon joined Dongduk Women's University Broadcasting Department this year. Gowoon laughed, saying, “I can’t believe I’m already 20 years old.â€

There was also a “coincidenceâ€. Originally, Daye, Sehyung and Gowoon applied for university support according to their own will. The only school they shared was Dongduk Women's University, but in the end they all became college students there.

“We were in the same high school (SOPA) as well, but now we go to the same university and I feel like we are in high school again. Ah ah.†(Sehyung)

“I wanted a campus romance, but since it’s a girl school, it’s impossible. And there are Sehyung and Daye. It’s just like being friends.†(Gowoon)

 

Unlike two years ago, I felt comfortable with the members. It’s called “years of experienceâ€. Even Johyun, who joined last, continued speaking without hesitation throughout the interview. Leader Taeha said, “Johyun had also been a trainee since 2013 and was well acquainted with Berry Good members, so adaptation was fast.â€

 

This time, with ‘Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo’, Berry Good made a unique attempt. Their stage outfits concept is “part-time workâ€. Daye explained: “‘Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo’ is a song that tells teenagers and young people in their 20s who are losing their dreams, to open to their dreams freely. We are shouting that they can make dreams come true if they love themselves, and we wear part-time outfits to give them a message of hope.â€

I was wondering if they are a girl group that still wants to look pretty when possible. I wonder if the “part-timers†stage costumes are really good.

“In the past, I thought a girl group should look pretty. So I tried a lot to look like it. But now I have changed my mind a lot. I thought it was more meaningful to communicate and sympathize with the public than to look cute, innocent or sexy.†(Taeha)

This “part-time concept†is an idea that the representative of their company (JTG Entertainment) and the members came up with after discussing. “Part-time jobs are perfect to remind 20-year-olds. What is the reason why our peers are busy living? It’s a part-time job. We talked to our CEO and decided to wear part-time outfits and send a message of hope to the youth,†Sehyung said.

The preparation was also solid. There are already more than 10 kinds of part-time outfits on stage. Members laughed: “It is likely to continue in the future.†There were many anecdotes. Many people asked them if they could order a hamburger while they went to the TV station for a music broadcast. “We think our fans are also pleased with our outfits.â€

 

Berry Good are making a new attempt, but there are also some worries. In particular, leader Taeha said, “The burden of responsibility is greater. It's been a while since I debuted. I am delighted that I ran without a break. Being the fourth year since debut, I think the burden is getting bigger. Now that we are six, there’s more pressure.â€

To Berry Good, who in their 4^th year are looking for ‘reverse’ and ‘jump’, new member Johyun is a strong presence.

“I debuted promoting ‘Don’t Believe’. One by one, everything was a step to learn more. By age, I was the second eldest, but the other members really helped me a lot. So now I feel more confident and passionate. I also got greedy. I want Berry Good to get more known. Since I want us to be more known, I feel more responsible.†(Johyun)

Johyun has a unique story. She practiced ski, inline skating, short track, swimming, etc. since her childhood. Especially, she was a short track player until the first grade of junior high school. As representative of Seoul city, she also took first place at the 500 meters race. “At that time, I also ranked third overall. Then an injury halted my athletic life.â€

In high school, after practicing for six months as a trainee, she decided to study for her mother who wanted her to go to college. Then she became a college student and turned her head “this way†again.

 

Berry Good, who debuted 4 years ago, have a desire: going to Spain all together for the first time. “Why Spain? Our CEO (Sung Jin-tae) told us that, if we reach the top of charts and music broadcasts, he’ll send us there. And everyone in the company as well. I do not know why Spain. Maybe it’s because he wants to go there. (laughs)†(Daye)

“Spain†aside, I asked the members about their goals. Leader Taeha opened her mouth first. “Now all members are adult, and with a new member it seems like a very important time for Berry Good. I think it’s time for the six people to get together and make more progress. With ‘Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo’, I hope the evaluation of Berry Good will be different. I want our existence to be acknowledged more.â€

The next one was the newest, Johyun. “I feel the same as Taeha. I want Berry Good to be recognized more than last year, and I want to be loved by fans showing a good image.â€

Daye added: “It’s a story about getting recognition, and the best way to raise awareness is to take first place. It's not easy, but we are trying hard.â€

“I have a dream I want to achieve with our fans. I want to invite them to a mini concert.†(Seoyul)

“If I consider that we are starting now, I have the dream of not losing. Six people got together.†(Sehyung)

“I want to become famous and let you know our old good songs soon. It’s called ‘reverse run’. I am really sad for ‘Angel’ and ‘Don’t Believe’. They are really good songs, but they are not known to the public.†(Gowon)

 

Leader Taeha took all the members’ words and organized them neatly.

“I’m not greedy. The most important thing now is to enjoy ourselves, and I think everyone is happy. So we can trust ourselves and set the right goals. I want to be Berry Good that always conveys hope and happiness.â€

Prague is only 4 hours by train for me and to be honest its nice only if you are tourist. But Spain is good too. Even though I wouldnt be propably able to see them either way since it would be their holiday. ^^ Thinking about visiting Seoul next summer, but well... It would be awkward to chase Berries then with my boyfriend and everything.
