Park Jin-joo, Ailee, Mi-joo, and Hae-won (NMIXX) are teaming up as the unit ‘Winter Dreamgirls’.

The first song of the winter song remake project of MBC‘s ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ (directed by Kim Jin-yong, Lee Joo-won, Wang Jong-seok, Ahn Ji-sun, and Bang Sung-soo/written by Noh Min-sun), ‘Still Beautiful’ sung by Park Jin-joo, Ailee, Mi-joo, and Hae-won, will be released on January 18 (Sat) at 6 PM.

In particular, the unique vocal combination of Park Jin-joo, Ailee, Mi-joo, and Hae-won, which can only be seen in ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’, is grabbing attention. Diva Ailee with explosive vocal volume and unrivaled singing ability, Park Jin-joo with her refreshing and delicate luxury voice, Mi-joo with her emotional and warm tone, and NMIXX Hae-won, the representative vocalist of the 4th generation idols. The four unique voices coming together are raising expectations for what kind of fantastic harmony they will create.

‘Are You Still Beautiful’ sung by ‘Winter Dreamgirls’ is a song released by Kim Yeon-woo on January 1, 1999. It is a lyrical ballad that comes to mind especially during the cold winter. Park Jin-joo, Ailee, Mi-joo, and Hae-won worked hard to recreate the original song’s sorrowful emotions with the delicate and warm harmonies of the four female vocalists.

In the ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ that will air on January 18, Park Jin-joo, Ailee, Mi-joo, and Hae-won will be seen ‘feeling touched’ while reading the lyrics of ‘Are You Still Beautiful’. Yoo Jae-suk stimulates curiosity by adding amazing interpretations of each line of the lyrics to the four people‘s explosive questions. Miju, who used to shed tears just by hearing sad lyrics, said, “Aren’t you crying while recording?”, raising interest about what kind of recording was done.

The remake song of ‘Still Beautiful’ reinterpreted by Park Jin-joo, Ailee, Miju, and Haewon will be released on various online music sites at 6 PM on Saturday, January 18. The song recording process can be seen on MBC‘s ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’, which will air on Saturday, January 18 at 6:25 PM.
