[sS Interview] ‘Part-timers concept’ Berry Good

“We are still growing idols, growing up in empathy with our fansâ€

Girl group Berry Good (Taeha, Seoyul, Daye, Sehyung, Gowoon, Johyun), dressed in part-time outfits, is shouting the magic spell ‘Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo’ to call the fairy from ‘Cinderella’ and make dreams come true.
 
The 4-year-old group Berry Good’s members, who had an average age of 17.8 years old at the time of their debut, grew step by step and became ladies in their 20s. Since last month, they have been a hot topic by promoting their new song ‘Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo’ with the concept off ‘part-timer workers’. Taeha said: “This song is popular and, in accordance with the image of Berry Good, tells you to be happy with the power of affirmation. It gives our generation a dream and strength.â€
 
Uniforms are hard to find in other girl groups. Gowoon shared: “There are so many things to worry about wearing a costume like that. I’m going to take good care of it.†Taeha added: “I wanted to do something spectacular and noticeable, but there are already many groups like that. I wanted to express the feelings of human beings while being a little different, but the concept seems to fit well and this way we can sympathize with the publicâ€, and she showed a satisfied expression.
 
Berry Good were joined by Johyun last year and is now a six-person group, and the public’s interest has increased. Leader Taeha revealed: “I never imagined a combination of six people, and it was really new at first. Johyun came into the spotlight. Before her joining, there were three innocent and pure minors, but she has a different charm that we do not have. It seems like Berry Good are well known and members have upgraded to adults tooâ€, she concluded proudly. Gowoon added: “This is the second release with her and she fits the group well. It’s like we are becoming one day by day.â€
 
In particular, Johyun first participated in ‘Don’t Believe’ music video, which was ranked 1st on the music video chart of Naver Music and China’s Toudou last year, and gathered a lot of attention. Johyun, who was a short track player in the past, has recently demonstrated her hidden skills in ‘Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo’ teaser and recently on Onstyle’s ‘Attraction TV’. She said: “I ruined my athletic life due to an injury in the first year of junior high school. At the time, I was anxious and quit my workout, and I felt something was gone and lost, but that’s when the dream of becoming a singer filled me. Even though I debuted, there are still a lot of things I want to do.â€
 
Berry Good’s Seoyul dreamt of becoming a singer by watching her older sister Yuna from girl group AOA. “She monitors and contacts me every time, pointing out faults and good things. I can’t see her often, but when it happens after a long time, I’m happy. Being by her side gives me strengthâ€, she said.
 
Berry Good is not just the ‘part-timers concept’. They are deepening their empathy with their fans in different ways, such as busking and crowdfunding. Gowoon laughed after saying: “I’m not just trying to be pretty, but I’m like a friend. Apparently the number of female fans has increased.†And Daye: “If you go to the broadcasting station, the upper section [of the venue] shouts like military corps. (laughs) Apparently there are many new fans.†Sehyung added: “The cheering is really great. We have been doing the crowdfunding project for the third time, so I want to make something more rewarding and make time to communicate with my fans.â€
 
In an interview two years ago, Berry Good called themselves ‘growing idols’, who were still expected to grown more. Gowoon smiled while saying: “I feel that I am developing gradually rather than diminishing.†“We stick to that title. We want to get together with our fans while getting to know each other. We have to keep growing.†Taeha concluded.
 
What is Berry Good’s goal? As for Gowoon, “I wished for our songs to chart, but it didn’t happen yet. I hope that, when we become more known, our previous songs will be known.†Johyun agreed: “I hope to feel the joy and happiness of each other. Also, besides the title song, there are many good songs, and one day I want all of them to chart even if a lot of time passed.†Seoyul confidently said: “I hope to be Berry Good that you like, trust and listen to. We will be ‘God Berry Good’.â€
