(DDANG !)’ , ‘Good Feeling’, and ‘Bombi’.It is an album where you can feel the ‘Sweet’ and ‘Spicy’ charms of the eight members at the same time.

Ahead of their full-fledged activities, they shared various stories related to their new album ‘SWICY’ through Q&A.


[Below is a Q&A about Eunice’s 2nd mini album ‘SWICY’]

Q You will be starting your first activity in 2025 with ‘SWICY’.How do you feel about coming back with a new album?

- Jin Hyun-joo: Eunice is back with ‘SWICY’.We prepared really hard for this album release since it’s been a while.This album is filled with songs that truly showcase the ‘SWICY’ charm of the eight members, so please listen to it a lot and show us your love.

- Kotoko: I’m so happy that I can show you a new concept.I hope that EverAfter(official fan club name)will also like Eunice’s cute and bubbly appearance.

Q This is already your third promotion.What do you think is the biggest change compared to when you first debuted?

- Oh Yoon-ah: As we work together on our third album, I think our synergy is even greater when we come together as one.While working, I felt that a good stage is completed through the harmony between the members.I think the biggest change is that we try to maximize not only our individual charms but also our charms when we work together.

- Jelly Danka: I think our stage manners have also improved a lot.For our first album, we were so nervous that we only focused on decorating the stage.Now, all the members perform on stage with joy instead of nervousness.I feel like we have changed in that we think about how to make not only ourselves but also the audience happy.

Q The title song ‘SWICY’ is a song with a bright mood, different from ‘Only You Don’ t Know ‘.I’m curious about your first impression of the title song.

- Bang Yoon-ha: I really liked the lively and bouncy beat from the introduction.As soon as I heard it, I was sure that it would suit Eunice very well.Also, although it has a different atmosphere than before, I gained confidence that I could prepare it cutely.

- Elicia: Honestly, I was surprised when I first heard the song.I didn’t know that it would be a cute and bright song that was the complete opposite of the previous concepts.I think it was because I wanted to quickly show our Everafter a new side of Eunice.

Q Are there any points to watch for in this album or title song stage?

- Nana: The choreography for the title song ‘SWICY’ is really diverse.In addition to the cute choreography that expresses ‘SWICY’, there are many performances where the teamwork with the members is important, from units to group dances.If you focus on these parts, I think the ‘SWICY’ stage will be even more fun.

Q Eunice is also famous for her ‘songs that are delicious’.Is there any song you would like to recommend from this album other than the title song?

- Nana: I really like the title song, but I also think ‘Spring Rain’ is charming.The song’s vibe is like a youth movie, so just listening to it makes me feel good.

- Jelly Danka: I would like to strongly recommend ‘Good Feeling’.It is my second favorite song after the title track.The harmony of the eight members ‘vocals is so good that I can’ t stop listening to it.

- Lim Seo-won: Personally, I like ‘DDANG! (DDANG !)’ the most.My name is in the lyrics.That’s why it feels more special and I feel affection for it.

Q What are the members ‘goals for their activities with’ SWICY ‘?

- Bang Yoon-ha: I want to win first place on every music show.Last year, we chose the rookie award and first place on a music show as our goals.Thankfully, we received many awards including the rookie award last year, but we didn’ t achieve first place on a music show.For this promotion, we want to have a bigger dream and win all the music show trophies.

- Jin Hyun-joo: I heard that the word ‘SWICY’ is trending as a meme all over the world.I wish our Eunice’s ‘SWICY’ would also become a meme.I think it’s even more greedy because both our music and choreography are optimized for challenges.We’ve come back with a melody that you can naturally hum along to and choreography that’s easy to follow, so I think it would be great if many people listen to it and try cover dances.

Q Is there a promise you would like to make to your fans when you achieve your goals?

- Elicia: I want to open a Eunice Bakery.I want to make ‘SWICY’ food like the gochujang caramel cookies in our title song lyrics and give them to Everafter as a gift.

Q I’m also curious about your future plans.

- Kotoko: After our Eunice comeback, we will be going on an Asia tour.This year, our goal was to meet more Everafter than last year, and I’m glad that we were able to achieve it quickly.We will work hard to prepare so that Everafter from various countries can enjoy our stage, so please look forward to it.

Q Lastly, is there a message you would like to give to your fans?

- Oh Yoon Ah: The day has finally come to show you ‘SWICY’.How about the charm of ‘SWICY’ by EverAfter and Eunice? We will repay you with a wonderful performance full of energy as you have waited for us.

- Im Seo-won: While preparing this album, I thought the most about Everafter, who waited for us for a long time.We worked hard to show not only our cheerful side, but also the more mature side of Eunice.Please look forward to it.Let’s make many good memories during this activity.
