TREASURE, “YG’s Record-Breaking Artists Give Us Huge Support and Motivation…NO Pressure”

[동아닷컴=전효진 기자] YG’s rookie group TREASURE received a lot of support from the senior artists of the agency including BIGBANG-WINNER-iKON-BLACKPINK, who are going down in history of K-Pop.

During an interview held in YGX located in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 10th, JUNKYU of TREASURE revealed his thoughts as a rookie artist who has made debut 4 days ago by stating, “We’ve practiced for a long time. We had our first music broadcast debut on the 9th through SBS ‘Inkigayo’, and it made us nervous. We practiced a lot to present ourselves better”.

The title song ‘BOY’ from TREASURE’s first single album, ‘THE FIRST STEP : CHAPTER ONE’, presents a boy’s pure yet passionate story of love as he rushes towards an attraction which he felt for the first time of his life, contrasting with the song’s dynamically transforming track throughout.

The song ‘BOY’ topped iTunes Song charts in 19 different countries, Japan’s Line Music Top 100 Real-time chart, Rakuten Music’s Real-time Comprehensive Rankings, and AWA’s Rising Chart. Furthermore, the song was placed on the top ranks of 5 different charts on QQ Music, China’s biggest music platform, and was ranked at no. 1 on the Top Rising chart. The MV also surpassed 10M views in 26 hours since its release and is at a steady rising trend.

The group is reviewed to be differentiated from previously launched groups by YG in their song lyrics and group dance performances. Regarding the matter, leader JIHOON explained, “We have many members, a total of 12. We made performance routines utilizing the number of members and due to our dynamic dance composition, the viewers may have felt we are different from existing groups of YG”, while BANG YE DAM added, “Since we are young, we expressed the fresh emotions of a boy’s love in the lyrical part”.

“It was nervous, and we felt grateful that we were given a song like this for our debut. We tried to work harder”. (Leader CHOI HYUN SUK)

“Everyone responded, ‘Wow~’. After listening to the final version of ‘BOY’, we felt that it matched TREASURE’s color”. (DOYOUNG)

The group is receiving attention as YG’s rookie group launched in 4 years since BLACKPINK. On the question asking whether they “Feel pressure due to the senior artists who are known as the new record generators’, CHOI HYUN SUK answered, “We rather get motivated, thanks to our senior artists. They give us good advice as well, which allowed us to focus on our debut preparation”.

“It was the time TAEYANG was preparing his solo album. We ran into him while walking with BANG YE DAM, and he asked how we were doing although we were only trainees and asked if we have any difficulties”. (Leader JIHOON)

“In my case, G-DRAGON and BOBBY gave me a lot of advice since we all have rap positions. Their words regarding my rap helped me a lot. We all try to be calm and objective about ourselves. We think we should only work harder since we received an opportunity to repay and meet the people’s expectations”. (Leader CHOI HYUN SUK)

In the Newsen interview Yoshi confirms he is Zainichi Korean:

(Google translated)

Although Yoshi is from Japan, he recently took and passed the GED. Yoshi said, "I'm a 4th generation Korean-Japanese born in Japan. I got to know it because I really wanted to know a lot of Korean culture. I'm very happy to pass and I'm very grateful to the members who helped me a lot. Thank you very much, too."
