[OSEN] The girl group Ifeye, dressed in beautiful hanbok, wore faces full of excitement. It was their first holiday since debut with their fandom Ipori, and seeing the members show hanbok for the first time to fans, they could not stop smiling. Having completed nonstop debut and comeback activities successfully, Ifeye was taking a short breather and looking forward to a bountiful Chuseok with fans. To celebrate Chuseok, we met the pretty hanbok-clad "pretty kids," Ifeye members (Kasia, Won Hwayun, Taerin, Rahee, Sasha, Miyu), and had an honest conversation.
▲ "With Ipori!"…first Chuseok since debut, impressions full of excitement
This Chuseok has special meaning for Ifeye. It is their first holiday since the long-awaited debut and after gaining the precious fandom Ipori. Leader Kasia said she could not hide her excitement, saying "It's our first Chuseok with Ipori, so I'm eager to show you our hanbok look quickly." Won Hwayun added, "Before debut I watched seniors' hanbok interviews and always wanted to do that; wearing pretty outfits together with the members really gives a strong holiday feeling."
The members did not forget warm greetings for their fans. Miyu said, "This is our first holiday since debut, and I hope everyone spends it happily. I hope you eat lots of delicious food and have a great time with your families," and Won Hwayun offered a thoughtful greeting, saying, "I hope you enjoy Chuseok with our Ifeye songs during the boring moments on the way to and from your hometowns."
▲ From food bucket lists to bicycle practice…Ifeye's Chuseok stories
Each member raised expectations with their own solid holiday plans. Kasia said, "I'm going to visit my grandparents' house after a long time to rest while eating delicious holiday food," and Taerin laughed, "I'm going on a trip to the sea with my family. I really love seafood, so I'll eat my fill." Meanwhile Rahee revealed a quirky but cute goal, saying, "I'm going home to learn how to ride a bicycle perfectly," earning the members' support.
The members known for their food knowledge also shared recommendations. Rahee recommended honey rice cake cereal, Kasia recommended galbijjim, and Taerin recommended grandmother-style seafood pancake, making mouths water. They also introduced each one's "taste of hometown," showing pride by mentioning Jecheon's famous "red fish cake" (Won Hwayun) and the "salt fry" near the Pyeongtaek U.S. military base (Rahee).
When asked what they would wish for while looking at the full moon, the members spoke about the team's future without hesitation. Kasia expressed a reliable leader's wish, saying, "I hope our activities go smoothly from now on, matching the sweat and tears we shed during the trainee period. Above all, I want all the members to be healthy and wish for Ifeye's great success."
▲ 'The one who ties her hair' → 'a candidate for No. 1'…from debut to now
Ifeye made an immediate impression on the public with the "hair-tying" performance in their debut song and the "hair-releasing" performance in their comeback song. Kasia said, "It was surprising that people recognized us and said, 'Aren't you the one who ties her hair?,'" and added, "I thank CEO Ryu Jaejun for creating such a cool point." Working with the choreographer director brings pressure, but the members saw it as "a positive driving force that we are the performance strongest."
Their efforts led to achievements such as a "super-fast comeback" and being a candidate for first place on music shows. Won Hwayun said, "It felt so good to be a candidate for No. 1 on 'The Show.' Next time we want to win No. 1 and show fans a special encore stage with a part change," expressing a confident ambition.
▲ "Goal is a world tour, dream stage is Coachella!"…Ifeye going forward
Having completed successful debut and comeback activities, Ifeye is aiming higher. Kasia emphasized, "Our goal is to hold our own solo concert and do a world tour. We want to meet Ipori in many countries and sing to them." Rahee revealed an ambitious dream, saying, "I've dreamed of standing on the Coachella stage since before debut and I definitely want to perform there."
They did not hide their appetite for variety shows either. The members said in unison, "We're confident not only in competition programs like 'Immortal Songs' but also in reality shows and skits." Taerin pointed out a member's strength, saying, "Because Hwayun unnie has great reactions, if she appears on Story of the Day When You Bite Your Tail she would make viewers more immersed."
Throughout the interview Ifeye showed strong affection for each other and passionate enthusiasm for activities. On their first Chuseok since debut, they said they would wish for the team's "great success" under the full moon, and there is no doubt they believe that wish will come true soon.
