You initially debuted under the stage name “Shine” and later adopted “Bada.” What inspired this change, and how does “Bada” reflect your artistic identity?

A: β€œShine” may not be the most instantly-understood name in Korea. β€œBada” is the name I used during the two years of going solo, after Baby Boo and before I met RJ, and it’s my favorite name.

You were previously the leader of the group Baby Boo before becoming the leader of N-DAY. How did this transition influence your approach to leadership and artistry?

A: As the only member at my company with ample experience in an all-girls group, I made good use of that experience in N-DAY. I hope my experience of over 10 years may reflect some of my technical and artistic aspects as a singer and idol.

You made your solo debut in 2017 with the digital single “#My Way”. How did this solo venture differ from your group activities, and what did you learn from the experience?

A: I’m not really suited to working in a team. I have met so many cool friends along the way, but nobody who was compatible as a colleague or a co-member. I was too young to realize this, however, and repeated the same mistake. If I had known this about myself earlier, I don’t think I would have started N-DAY. I now want to succeed as a solo singer.

A: I instinctively feel very strong and secure when team members are together, and even happy when we’re all together, whether it be in front of the mirror when we’re practicing, or on stage. But I’m greedy, passionate and love being in control. I want to feel the same confidence for a solo performance.

A: It was a hard challenge for me, as the track demanded such a different singing technique from my previous songs. β€˜Kiss Me Baby’ is a song that improves my vocal skills, but also a relaxing song to listen to while driving.

A: I hope that through me, someone somewhere, maybe the other side of the globe, might come to have a dream. Just like I did watching Michael Jackson. You’ve got to work for it, go through all the pain and solitude. My competitiveness as Bada is myselt, and there is nothing I can do other than continue to improve myself. My company is discovering the necessary elements of Bada the character, from the talents that I haveΒ  and making me into a diamond from the rough gemstone.
