- [Ashley] And we were very grateful for all the experience.
I can speak for all of us when we say that we hated ‘So Wonderful.’
- [Eric] Anyways, what was it like being a part of LADIES’ CODE?
And do you still consider yourself like…
Are you guys still under LADIES’ CODE or like…
How does that work out?
- [Ashley] I don’t know…
Because we haven’t like technically disbanded yet.
So I do…
It’s not like LADIES’ CODE is completely out of the picture.
- [Eric] Right.
- [Ashley] And I think Sojung and Zuny…
We still like have a lot of love for LADIES’ CODE.
And affection so… Yeah. It’s not like…
We’re— I don’t know.
There are possibilities of maybe doing a comeback…
In the future. Like way way later.
But LADIES’ CODE… Being in LADIES’ CODE…
I just feel so blessed having been a part of that for seven years.
‘Cause I honestly think the girls of LADIES’ CODE…
We were…
I mean, they were all like really nice.
And even though I was the leader, I heard a lot of stories about other girl groups and how…
You know, how much problems they were having and…
You know, just… They bumped heads a lot.
We were really got along I think.
They were really kind and thoughtful and selfless so…
They made the…
Time go by really fast and they made the whole experience very pleasant.
- [Eric] Was there a particular promotion or a song that you really particularly loved?
- [Ashley] I liked…
‘Bad Girl’ and ‘Pretty Pretty’. In the very beginning.
The first year, 2013.
I think that’s when we had the most fun.
Of course, it was our first ever promotion and debut so…
We were very excited about it.
Even though we were very tired.
And we were very grateful for all the experience.
I can speak for all of us when we say that we hated ‘So Wonderful.’
- [Eric] Why?
- [Ashley] Okay, we liked the song but that time of promotions was like…
Oh my god.
- [Eric] Why? - [Ashley] We were so miserable.
- [Eric] Oh noo.
Because of the song or like other situations?
What was the deal?
- [Ashley] I don’t know why but…
I think maybe from all the ‘Pretty Pretty’ promotions?
We were kind of in a…
- [Eric] Exhausted? - [Ashley] We were kind of in a slump.
- [Ashley] Yes. Exhausted.
And then having comeback with ‘So Wonderful’ and then we were just kind of like…
“I don’t know if I want to do this anymore.”
- [Eric] In like your first year of debuting?
- [Ashley] Yeah… And there was… I don’t know.
There was a lot of pressure from the company too.
- [Eric] Yeah. That sucks. I’m sorry.
- [Ashley] It’s okay. - [Eric] So so so so wonderful~♫
- [Ashley] I mean it’s a good song but…
Oh you know the song.
- [Eric] I’m telling you. I listened to all of your stuff.
Because I… I think…
I'll have like a day, random day.
Where I’ll just go back and listen to all of LADIES’ CODES songs.
- [Ashley] Really? - [Eric] Like throughout the day.
- [Ashley] Oh my gosh.
- [Eric] Because for me it was…
I thought you guys were incredibly talented.
You guys had overall like—
You know, groups have hits and they have misses.
But I felt like you guys were always leaning on the hit side.
And like… Especially like vocal color wise too…
Sojung is so like... stands out in her own way.
But then there’s a way that all of you guys were always cohesive together…
- [Eric] As a group. - [Ashley] Yeaah.
- [Ashley] We all had such different voices and colors but somehow it just worked.
- [Eric] Right. - [Ashley] I think. Yeah.
- [Eric] I think that’s why I was such a big fan and like…
Wanted to cheer you guys on.
Without me even realizing it.
Like I’m realizing it as I'm having this conversation.
But yeah…
Sucks that you didn’t like that promotion.
- [Eric] What can you do? - [Ashley] None of us did!
- [Eric] What can you do?
That’s just kind of what it is.
