Recently a lot of people are hoping to climb up the chart. How’s the reaction from people around you?
ZN: We are hearing a lot about it a lot more than
when we released the song.
We were not aware of it actually
And heard that it’s climbing back the chart.
Ah? Really? That’s how we got the news.
We are getting a lot of response from people around us.
They are really supportive.
Soyeon: And we can feel all the support, so we are very grateful for that.
Solbin: For me, my friends
From middle school Are in the military right now.
They told me that
it went crazy
That everybody is watching the video
And raising the views. It meant a lot to me.
Also I got a lot of DMs on Instagram
about the news.
It really means a lot to me.
I am so happy Right this moment.
Haein: People are being really supportive.
And in a way More enthusiastic than us.
So I am really happy and grateful.
Do you know that there is a saying around soldiers that “you are a spy if you don’t know ”?
Haein: Actually my brother
was in the army when we released that song
So we actually visited the army base
And did a performance.
At that time we felt
How much people love .
We felt it on the stage.
Soyeon: And every time
We ask
“What do you want to hear next?”
And it’s always .
So we thought is receiving so much love From the military.
Thank you.
Do you know how many shows you did at a military camp?
ZN: Do you know the number?
I think maybe over 50 times.
Solbin: Including unofficial shows?
It should be over 50 if we include them.
Any memorable moment during the performance?
There are too many.
Yujeong: Rather than Wimun Yeolcha (TV music show for the military)
Haein: Go ahead.
Yujeong: When we visited the army base
for different occasion other than the TV show
We did a performance on a small stage.
So the audience were really Up close to us.
And we picked a few to come up on stage
And took pictures with each one of them.
That felt more intimate
Than doing the TV show.
So those moments remain in my memory a lot.
From the lyrics of , there is a line which is a bit confusing. Does it mean “Come out now and let’s go anywhere” or “Let’s go anywhere with me”?
Heain: In my opinion,
Could you please sing that part before talking about it?
Come out now and let’s go anywhere no more boring day all stop
Soyeon: Look at our great live singing skills.
Yujeong: What does it mean? Soyeon?
Soyeon: Ah~ It means come out now
Come out now and let’s go anywhere with me
Haein: It has two meanings.
I think it could be fun
for listeners to decide
what it means on their own.
Do you have your own routine before going up on stage?
Yujeong: First of all, we do this together.
La~boum
And this is For really important and big stages
Like when we are really nervous or doing a comeback stage.
Soyeon: What should we do… everybody gather around quickly.
Haein: when we pull ourselves together.
Yujeong: We do this a lot.
For me personally
I use a body mist.
ZN: Ah so you smell nice
Yujeong: It makes me feel good if I smell nice.
Solbin: I always drink coffee before going up on stage.
Iced americano.
And drink a glass of water.
And go up on stage thinking I will do my best.
What are the merits of being in a group than being a solo?
Solbin: We can rely on each other
Yujeong: And I don’t have to do interviews like this all by myself.
ZN: When we don’t feel good
Everybody knows it so well.
So even if I don’t say anything, they take care of it.
Solbin: And we learned
how to settle a matter.
How to tune
The different opinions.
Haein: And anyway
I can frankly talk about what I have been thinking
Because we are in this together
We can understand each other.
It’s great that
We can share our concerns.
Do you still live together in a dorm?
Soyeon: Now only 3 of us are living together.
3 Unni(elder) line.
Haein: It sounds cute.
How long have you lived together?
Soyeon: It’s been 8 years including the trainee years.
Yujeong: I think that sounds about right.
Soyeon: I think I chocked up now.
Haein: wipe your eyes x2
I think it has been more than 8 years.
When did you leave the dorm, Haein and Solbin?
Solbin: About 2 years ago.
Yujeong: From 2019.
They said “You don’t have to live in a dorm”
So Unnies left,
Soyeon: Because you don’t like us?
Haein: It’s not like that!
Who’s the loudest among the members?
Yujeong: Every one of us are kind of loud. Was I?
Soyeon: Yujeong is really loud.
Yujeong: It’s because I sing a lot these days.
Soyeon: That too, and when we are watching something,
She has the biggest reaction.
Awesome!
Wow!
Literally I have never
seen anyone
Who has the biggest reaction like her
When watching TV.
Yujeong: What else?
Solbin: When putting on skincare products,
“Be prettier my skin”
“You worked heard today”
“Aye you pretty thing”
Like this,
She never stops talking.
It was really amazing.
Yujeong: I don’t do it like that these days.
Can you show it to us?
Yujeong: I heard that it’s good to talk to your skin when doing skincare.
So
Uhm my skin
You worked hard today.
You pretty thing.
Nice nice
You can do better
It feels so tight
Like this.
Haein: It was really shocking when I first saw this.
ZN: I once tried this.
Yujeong: For real?
Who’s like a mom among the members?
Solbin: Soyeon is like a mom
Because she
Packed my lunch
On the day of my SAT.
Haein: Yes I do remember.
She made me some fried tofu rice balls.
And I still cannot forget about it.
Did you do well on your exam with that lunch box?
Solbin: Yes thanks to that lunch box, I got a good score.
Soyeon: There was no slippery food that would make you fail.
Solbin: There was nothing like that.
Please recommend some of your songs that would be perfect for each season.
Haein: I do have some.
First, what about spring?
Spring let’s go.
Solbin, Haein:
for the summer
for the fall
for the winter.
Why is it only me who’s talking
Solbin: We think the same.
Soyeon: Is this a timing game or what
Haein: But it sounds right, Doesn’t it?
Don’t you all agree with me?
Soyeon: Yes yes yes
Can you sing a short medley of the songs you mentioned?
Soyeon: what was the order?
When do you feel your fans ‘Laté’ is most precious?
Haein: There are too many…
Soyeon: Because we haven’t been able to see each other in person
we get to appreciate their presence more than ever.
In the past, we were able to see our fans offline
Whenever we are
doing some promotions.
But nowadays
There are not many chances to see them
Because there are no concerts
or anything So
We feel they are precious more than ever.
Because we cannot see each other in person.
ZN: There are a lot of people who can be with you when you’re happy
But there are not many people who can stay by your side when you are down.
But our fans
Always stand by us
In joy and in sorrow.
So we are always grateful for that.
It’s all because of them
That we can do
What we are doing now.
We can exist
Because of them.
I feel happy when they tell me how much they love our songs.
“This song cheered me on”
“I had a tough day today,
But this song made me feel better”
When we get these messages,
Even though we are going through
a hard time
We feel like
We should try harder
Yujeong: Laté everyone.
Thank you so much for
Saying that you will be on our side
And for being with us no matter what.
I miss you so much.
I love you.
Haein: First of all, all I can say is thank you
There is nothing better I can say.
Thank you so much,
And thank you for leaving
the most heartfelt questions
And thank you for
letting us exist
ZN: I think it has been a while since Latés saw us.
With this video with Esquire
Our fans will get to see us in a long time.
We miss them so much
We couldn’t do much promotion this time
But we are so thankful
for the love you sent for
Thank you so much
And I hope we can see each other soon.
I love you.
Solbin: There are so many things I want to say.
It’s been 7 years since our debut?

Can you give her some tissues?
