Bada: Let's introduce ourselves! 1, 2... All: Fly High! Hello we are Enchantress! Bada: Hi Aurora I'm Bada, Enchantress's baddie leader and main rapper. Yujin: Hello Aurora I'm Yujin, your bright voice and visual of Enchantress! Xia: Hey Aurora I'm Xia, Enchantress's deep voice queen. Violet: Hi Aurora I'm Violet, your fairy main vocal. Zoe: Hello Aurora I'm Zoe, the dancing maknae of Enchantress. Bada: Aurora welcome to our 'Sweet Dream' pre-comeback V Live! We're going to be answering a bunch of questions you all have asked. Zoe: And maybe give a spoiler or two! Xia: I have a feeling it's gonna be more than two. Bada: Anyways, first we will answer questions for the whole group.
_____________________________________________________________________________
โWhat are your favorite memories? โ Bada: Well thatโs a very broad question so I think we should limit it to just memories from this comeback so far. Yujin: I agree and have the perfect one! This albumโs title track is more vocally challenging compared to our other titles. It was a challenge to sing certain parts, so when our vocal trainer complimented me during recording it really boosted my confidence. Violet: I agree with Yujin unnie. When we record we usually go in this order: Me, Xia unnie, Yujin unnie, Bada unnie, and Zoe. So when I had trouble with the difficult ending of the title track they cheered me on and it made me feel really loved. Yujin: Awww Xia: We love you Violet. *In a serious tone* Bada: My sweet child youโre gonna make me cry. Zoe: Unnie really crushed it. Violet: *Blushes* Bada: Well moving on! One night we were practicing together and everyone was feeling down because of all the mistakes we were making. Then our wonderful dance leader Zoe stopped us in the middle of a run through and we thought we had messed up again. Instead she took out her phone, called the local pizza place, and ordered us a pie. It was so nice to just lay on the practice floor eating pizza together and de-stressing. Sheโs such a precious maknae. Zoe: *Smiles and blushes* Thank you unnie! Thatโs also my favorite memory. Xia: I think for me it was when we heard the title track for the first time together. Like Yujin unnie stated, it is very vocally difficult. So knowing that they gave us this song made me feel that myself and my fellow members had improved a lot.
โ Can you sing a part of the new tracks that are on the album? โ โCan we have a spoiler? โ
Xia: Alright before we do this please remember Bang PDnimโs warning. We canโt give too much away like last time. Iโm not getting my coffee privileges taken away again so be careful! Yujin: *Not really paying attention to Xia* Why don't we all sing/rap our favorite part! I like it this part because of the way it makes me feel when I sing it. Itโs hard to describe, like I'm shining from inside. Bada: I wonโt share the whole rap that I wrote but hereโs a snippet from our bside. Violet: The part I mentioned struggling to sing before is strangely my favorite. Whenever I pull it off I feel very confident and like I won. Zoe: I really love the flow of one of my sections in the bside track, and how it kinda wraps up the message of the song and album. Xia: You all are going to give me a heart attackโฆ.but I really like singing a specific section of adlibs in the bside track. It suits my voice well.
*I usually don't spoil this much because I want to keep an element of suprise. So please keep it to yourself if you can identify either of these songs.*
โDid any of you help in producing this comeback? โ Bada: Like I mentioned before, I wrote my own rap in the bside track. Xia: I produced the instrumental for our bside track. Violet and Yujin: We cowrote the lyrics of the title track alongside one of HYBEโs producers. Zoe: I altered and combined various choreographies that were sent to us and created the finished product!
โHow much do you love Aurora?โ Zoe: I love Aurora with my whole heart! Yujin: Well I love Aurora more than there are cells in my body. Xia: Excuse me but I love Aurora more than there are stars in the sky. Violet: But I love Aurora more than the amount of sunrises this world has seen since itโs creation. Xia: Wow very poetic. Violet: Thanks unnie! Anyways, I obviously love Aurora the most. Yujin: Yah you canโt monopolize Aurora Violet!
*playful banter between OT4* Bada: Yahhhh! It is not a competition over who loved Aurora most. We all love them in our own ways. OT4: Yes leadernimโฆ Bada: Be the leader they said, it would be fun they said. Zoe: Aww unnie I know you love us!! Bada: *Pauses playfull*...Youโre right I do.
โDo you plan to collaborate with other artists soon?โ Bada: We donโt have any plans at the moment as we already have our next project lined up after this repackage album. We will probably release something with TXT as TXE in the future.
โHow have you changed since debut? โ
Xia: I think weโve all changed quite a bit individually and as a group. For example we debuted with a pure concept but now weโve done much darker concepts. We also became more involved in the production of our comebacks. Zoe: Unnie how do you think you changed? Xia: Oh yeah, um well my Korean has improved a lot, which in hand improved my pronunciation when singing. I feel a lot more confident compared to debut. What about you Zoe? Zoe: I was actually gonna say the same thing but with rapping. Yujin: I think I became a much more mature person. In our pre-debut group I wasnโt the oldest so I didnโt feel like I had to fill that role as much. Now that I am the oldest in the group I have taken on more of a parentโs role in the group. Violet: Seriously, Yujin unnie is like our second mom. She is always there to comfort us and makes tasty food. Yujin: Aww thank you Violet! But how would you answer? Violet: Iโm not as shy as compared to debut. I wasnโt really that great on reality shows and only felt that kind of comfort while on stage or alone with the members. Now I find it easier to let loose and have fun without being scared. Iโm even hosting a radio show with Xia unnie! Bada: For a while after our debut I still felt like I was a trainee and nobody knew who I was. But over time I adjusted and now I feel like an idol. I think itโs because I trained so long, it didnโt feel real when I finally debuted.
โWhat activities do you enjoy doing as a group? โ
Zoe: When weโre relaxing in the dorms we typically bake things like cookies and cupcakes. Then we eat our concoctions while watching a drama or variety show like Running Man. Yujin: And when we get out we often go on trips to the beach. All the photos we took for the Summer Magic album were actually taken during one of those trips!
โHow was it decided who would take which position? โ
*This is a spicy question I included cause why not?* Bada: While this was mostly not within our control we did have a bit of a say with certain positions. The vocal, dance, and rap positions were purely based on skill level and ability. Yujin: For leader Bada had already kind of been the unofficial leader of our pre-debut team, but HYBE had us take a leadership test and it was made official. Xia: For FOTG we thought it would be best if Yujin unnie had this position. She is our visual and has a bright presence that draws you in. Zoe: For center we tried a couple of members out but it was Violet unnie who fit it best. In terms of performance, Unnie is the best! Violet: But we tend to view these positions as not very important, or defining factors. All my members are very talented and it doesn't need labeling. Having these positions was up to the company. We all know that Enchantress would not be what it is if a single one of us was missing. Thatโs why we would prefer to all sit out if one member cannot perform or appear. But we still go out there because of Aurora.
Bada: Okay now we will move onto questions for Yujin unnie!
Questions for Yujin
___________________________________________________________________
โ What is today's TMI? โ
Yujin: Todayโs TMIโฆhmmmm. Right now you can only see me from the waist up. Iโm not wearing anything stylish on bottom, Iโm wearing pajama pants! Xia: Not just any pajama pants, Pokemon pajama pants. Yujin: Shhh they don't need to know that!
โ What do you think is the best part about you? โ Yujin: I think the brightness within my personality. I like to think that it can make someone else's day better. And I mean also my bright visuals but Iโm trying not to sound too conceited. *A little sarcastic and sassy during last sentence.* Violet: You do unnie! When have days full of long scheudles you're like our dose of sunshine that keeps us going through the day. Yujin: Aww you *Blushes and lightly shoves Violet's shoulder*
โ Do you do sports? โ Yujin: I am horrible at anything athletic. Zoe is our game queen. If we play any kind of sport or game together I will end up hurting myself in one way or another. Iโve given up at this point. *Over dramatic sob* Bada: One time we were playing ping pong and unnie still managed to nearly poke her eye out hehehe.
โ What are your favorite K-Dramas?โ Yujin: Now this is something I do love, having been a child actress. Right now Iโm really into Crash Landing On You and Whatโs Wrong with Secretary Kim. I'm going through a bit of a romance phase.
โ Which member do you wish you could be?โ Yujin: While I do love being myselfโฆI think I would pick Violet. She has an amazing voice and stage presence. I would just like to try that out for a day. Violet: Unnie while Iโm flattered Iโm not sure you would want to be me. Yujin: Why? Violet: Think about it, you are our tallest member, while Iโm not so much. Thatโs why I would want to be you unnie! Yujin: Eh itโs okay, I donโt mind shrinking 17 cm if I get your skills. For the rest of you, who would you want to be? Violet: *Mutters* you didn't have to give an actual number.... Xia: I would want to be Zoe maybe. Sheโs very bright and good in high intensity situations, while Iโm more introverted. Zoe: I want to be Bada unnie so I can be the leader!! Bada: And I would want to be Xia. She has such a cool vocal tone. I would love to be able to sing like that.
โWhat CFs would you most like to do?โ Yujin: I think it would be so much fun to be in a CF for a perfume or a makeup brand. This is also kind of cheesy, but I think a drink ad would be really fun. Violet: Unnie show us! Yujin:
Yujin: Thank you for the questions Aurora! Next up will be Bada!
Questions for Bada ___________________________________________________________________
โ Would you ever release a solo mixtape? โ Bada: Oh yeah for sure! It wonโt really be any time now but sometime in the future. Once ENCHANTRESS has grown to meet our goals and my skills have improved. But I may or may not have started a song or two. Zoe: Bada unnie shared a song with me and holy poop Aurora! It was so good! I donโt know what youโre talking about when you say โyour skills need improvingโ. Youโre already amazing unnie! Bada: *Blushes and canโt come up with a response.
โ What is your favorite song from ENCHANTRESS's discography? โ
Bada: I would say 'Forever Young' from โSummer Magic'. I got to write all the rap for it and I also just love how much it experiments with ENCHANTRESSโs sound. I'm actually curious about everyone else's answers... Yujin: I think mine has to be our upcoming title track. But if we're talking about what has been released then our debut title track 'Closer'. I think it matches well with my voice. Zoe: I really like 'Twilight' because of the solo dance break I get in it and I love my parts. Violet: I'm stuck between 'In My Dreams' and 'U R' from our debut album. I love singing them and how beautiful they sound. Xia: I'm gonna pick 'Cry for Me'. I love the song's concept.
โ What are your thoughts on ENCHANTRESS concept? โ Bada: I love our fairytale concept. I think it makes us stand out from other groups not only because of our fantasy concept, but the idea of applying a fairytale to each album. Myself and the rest of the members always loved storybook tales and what not. Itโs so much fun to bring them to life.
โ Do you believe in fantasy creatures like fairies? โ Bada: I think our world is too vast to not have things like fairies and goblins. They're out there hiding from us in the tiny corners of the world. Zoe: Does that mean Violet unnie is a magical creature? Since she's so good at fitting in small space. Xia: Sure Zoe, our Violet is definitely a fairy. *Sarcasm*
โ How is it like being leader? โ
*Everyone intently stares at Bada* Bada: WellโฆIโm not gonna lie it can be stressful. I have a lot of extra meetings with management and Iโm in charge of the wellbeing of the members. This is especially true with our minor member Zoe and Violet. I have temporary guardianship over them in case something were to happen. However, I wouldnโt trade this position for the world. I love being able to help the girls and know more about the comeback producing process. Violet: Unnie I love you! Thank you for being such an amazing leader! Xia: Enchantress would fall into the ground if it wasnโt for you.
โ What is your favorite CL/2NE1 song and why? โ
Bada: I know it may be basic to say this since itโs their most popular song, but โI am the Bestโ. I already loved it before I saw 2NE1 sunbaenim sing it, but after I heard it live my mind was blown. I listen to that song everyday when I wake up or when I need to hype myself up. Yujin: Itโs not a day in the ENCHANTRESS dorms if you donโt hear Bada rap โEotteon bigyodo nan geobuhae igeon gyeomsonhan yaegi. Gachireul nonhajamyeon naneun Billion dollar, baby.โ *Says the lyrics does not rap them.* Bada: Excuse me unnie itโs โEotteon bigyodo nan geobuhae igeon gyeomsonhan yaegi. Gachireul nonhajamyeon naneun Billion dollar, baby.โ *Raps the lyrics with charisma*
Bada: Thanks for the great questions Aurora. Next up is Xia!
Questions for Xia ___________________________________________________________________
โ Do you think you are better at rapping or singing? โ Xia: Singing 100%. While I know how to rap and have a good tone for it, Iโm not exactly passionate about it. Singing is what I love and what I think Iโm quite good at. But I donโt turn down any rap lines that come my way. Bada: Rapper Xia is really cool not gonna lie.
โ Will you have a solo project? โ
Xia: Iโm currently hosting a radio program with Violet as a solo promotion. However, I am working with our staff to start a YouTube series revolving around playing instruments. It would be similar to Violetโs Vocal Time but playing instruments instead of vocals. Violet: Hey unnie maybe in one episode we can collab!? Xia: Sure! I, ad I'm sure Aurora, would love that.
โ What is your favorite fruit? โ Xia: I really like blueberries. Especially the fat ones that are really sweet, not the tiny sour ones.
โDo you have any spoilers? โ Xia: Besides the ones already given out I can give another tiny one. It's one word...east! Zoe: Wait I don't get it either...
*Violet whispers meaning into Zoe's ear.* Zoe: Ooooo that's clever unnie!
โ Who is your favorite rock band/music? โ Xia: At the moment I really like Freddie Mercury and Queen, Nirvana, David Bowie, and Green Day. So a spectrum of punk rock and classic rock.
โ Which ENCHANTRESS fairytale concept was your favorite? โ
Xia: I quite liked the Swan Lake concept for our โEnchanted: Poison Loveโ album. It was a darker concept and I really enjoyed performing it. I think it best suits the way I present myslelf on stage and also my voice.
Xia: Thanks for the great questions Aurora. Next up is Violet!
The rest of the vlive will be posted tomorrow. I am about the fall asleep.
In addtion the forums have been incredibly slow and are frustrating me. For context: I started making the v live posts at 11pm est and it is now 12:30 am est. I was literally just copy and pasting pretyped answers and changing the format.
Please don't post anything after this so the order of posts doesn't get mixed up and irritate me.
Questions for Violet ___________________________________________________________________
โ Since your name is Violet, is your favorite color violet? โ Violet: Yes, that is one of the reasons I chose Violet as my stage name! My birth name, Hwayoung, means small flower. So I picked my favorite flower which is a Violet. They are my favorite because of their color. Zoe: A small flower indeed *snickers* Violet: Was that a joke about my height Zoe? Zoe: More like your lack of it hehehe. Violet: *Looks irritated and sad* Zoe: Donโt worry unnie, we love you the way you are. Even if you are a little fun-sized. Violet: Thank you Zoe. *Maknae line hugs*
โ When did you start ballet and what intrigued you about it? โ
Violet: I took consistent ballet lessons from the age of 2-12. My mom put me in lessons because she saw how I loved to dance. I gradually learned to love it over time. I found the way you could express yourself so elegantly as incredibly intriguing. I still take the occasional lesson, but I miss doing it full time occasionally.
โ Do you like bubble tea? โ Violet: I love bubble tea! I usually get milk tea with tapioca pearls and strawberry syrup! If I donโt want any caffeine Iโll drink a strawberry fruit tea instead.
*I donโt know anything about bubble tea so this is based on research*.
โWhat is the smallest space you have fit youself in? โ Violet: Okay so this one time we all played a legendary game of hide and seek with the TXT oppas in the new HYBE building. In one of the practice rooms there is this sofa of individual chairs. However the inside the each of these chair is basically hollow. So you can just lift up the seat portion and thereโs a tiny hole. So I went in there and put the seat back on top. It was quite cozy.
*I know this is a JYPE room but I couldnโt find a good example in the HYBE building.* Bada: We couldnโt find her for 4 hours! And she wasnโt answering any of our calls. Violet: I fell asleep and turned my ringer off so that I would be found cause my phone went off. Yujin: Yeonjun oppa was so close to calling 119 because he thought you had passed out or hurt yourself. Violet: I heard that part. You all had gathered in that room and were sitting on the couch. I decided then that I had won and started banging on the seat so the person sitting on it would give up. Turns out that person was Kai oppa hehe. Zoe: Hahaha you should have seen his face Aurora, he thought he was being attacked by some monster. Violet: Sorry Kai oppa!
โ What would you do if you weren't an idol? โ Violet: Well I suppose I would have stuck with ballet and tried to go pro. It probably wouldn't happen as I don't meet a certain requirement. So maybe then I could become a ballet dancer? Why don't we all answer this one! Bada: I've told the members this but I think I could be a translator. I know how to speak 4 currently and learn quite quickly. And I liked being able to help Xia and Zoe learn Korean. So maybe even a language teacher. Yujin: I would probably still continue to be an actress since I did it so often as a child. Zoe: I think I would do the same as Violet unnie and try to become a professional dancer. Then maybe I would become a choreographer! Xia: I'm not really sure. Maybe I would continue with my studies and go into a different field. Or maybe I would join a band?
Violet: Thanks for the great questions Aurora. Last but not least!
