The charm of’ K - Gen Z ‘expressed by’ Gen Z Trend ‘Eunice through taste.Is this the’ spicy taste ‘of Korea that is’ naturally inherent ‘even to innocent teenagers?

The comeback schedule of the group UNIS, which has an average age of 17 and is already celebrating its first anniversary since its debut, was like that.They came out with a song expressing their ambition to become an example of the charm of K-Genji,’ Spicy Moon ‘, which they defined.The new song’s title, which is a combination of the sweet ‘sweet’ and the spicy ‘spicy’, is ‘SWICY’.

At the comeback showcase held at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 15th, Eunice also showed off the flavor of “Swish” through song and dance on stage.Compared to the mega hits “Superwoman” and “Only You Don’t Know,” which earned her the title of “Rookie of the Year” last year, her performance was even spicier, and she expressed her “sweet teenage years” by reviving the “school uniform,” which was once considered a “secret weapon” in the idol world.

After releasing their debut single and first mini-album, they then released their second mini-album, “Swish,” which is filled with 17-year-old Eunice’s “songs” that emphasize their refreshing charm.Starting with the title song “Swish,” which they themselves want to be called a “spicy song,” they included five new songs, including “From the Seed of What Are You Doing?” and “DDANG !” , which allow you to experience the unique grammar of K-Gen.

Regarding the songs that were revealed after the showcase that day, there were favorable reviews both inside and outside of K-pop, saying that Eunice was finally able to “bring the ‘refreshing vibe’ that other boy groups of the same age have enjoyed into the girl group realm.”

On this day, Eunice also gave out the so-called ‘gochujang cookies’ that were actually used as props in the ‘Swish’ music video for tasting.The ‘spicy moon’ that they put forward was expressed as a homemade cookie, and the ‘strange addiction’ that makes you fall in love with it the more you taste it seemed to be ‘in the same vein’ as the new song ‘Swish’.


Eunice has also been a hot topic as the best result of ‘fandom producing’ through TV audition program ‘Universe Ticket’.As if to prove the current state of global K-pop, the eight members have different nationalities from three countries: Korea, Japan, and the Philippines.

Along with the release of the new album, Eunice has also officially announced a ‘large-scale Asia tour’, which is a measure of their actual popularity.In addition to the double hit of ‘Superwoman’ and ‘You Only Don’ t Know ‘, they are already a’ top tier girl group ‘in Korea, Japan, and the Philippines, the members’ home countries, and this year, they plan to expand their influence to all of Asia.The Eunice members who met at the showcase also expressed their anticipation for this by saying, “We are excited.”

At the 1st D AWARDS held at the Hwajung Gymnasium of Korea University in Seoul on February 22nd, Eunice won two awards, including the Rookie Award, ‘D AWARDS Dreams ‘, and the’ D AWARDS Discovery - Discovery of the Year’.
