A special conversation between the five member girls group EXID from South Korea and ☆Taku Takahashi (m-flo) who produced their new single!

The five member girls group EXID will be releasing their new single “Bad Girl For You”, produced by ☆Taku Takahashi (m-flo), on December 25. Before the release, EXID makes an appearance on the radio program “TCY RADIO” that ☆Taku and TJO hosts. With the five of them present, they let us hear about their activities in Japan and the production of their new single.

“Bad Girl For You” with its three languages is incredibly refreshing, and fun to sing!

☆Taku: It’s been about a year and a half since you’ve debuted in Japan, how have your activities been in Japan? Whether it was fun or difficult, please let us hear about the memories that remained.

Solji: The greatest memory has to be meeting ☆Taku-san. After all, we love ☆Taku-san!

TJO: ☆Taku-san’s face is turning red. (laughs)

EXID: So cute~! (laughs)

☆Taku: You’re making me embarassed. (laughs) That makes me incredibly happy. To be able meet an artist such as EXID, I’m really honored to be given the chance to create a song with them.

EXID: Thank you!

☆Taku: Not only in South Korea, while of course in Japan, your popularity is strong overseas as well. And with that, being supported by people from various countries, what do you think is “EXID’s strong point?”

Hyerin: I believe it’s due to being able to feel various parts of our charms.

LE: While being able to see us cool when we’re on stage, when we’re off stage, we’re like the neighborhood older sis that’s easy to talk to. That gap may be the reason.

☆Taku: In my opinion, to start with, the five of you each have a distinctive personality. Next would be, that everyone is tough.

TJO: Which part makes you feel that they are tough?

☆Taku: During recording sessions, there are times where you have to redo it many times. Such as the difficulty of singing in Japanese when you’re not used to the language or being unable to sing a part well. When that happens, there are times when the atmosphere onsite sours, but everyone in EXID laughs instead. (laughs)

EXID: Ahaha. (laughs)

TJO: Everyone is tough and hungry.

☆Taku: Yes, and positive.

LE: If we’re asked what is our strong point, we’ll answer with being “Positive” from now on!

☆Taku: For this release, “Bad Girl For You” with eill-chan, for the coupling song “Break My Heart” for the drum, Reiji Okamoto, also had participated. How did you feel about the song when you first heard it?

LE: Though “Bad Girl For You” is a song with three languages (Japanese, Korean, and English) incorporated, I thought it felt very fresh. More than anything else, I’m really happy that ☆Taku-san created it for us.

Hyerin: It felt like a completely different song than the previous song, “TROUBLE”, you had created for us.

☆Taku: I had created “TROUBLE” with a cute image in mind. I met you all for the first time at the recording of “TROUBLE”, alongside your cute and charming sides, I felt an adult charm as well. That’s what led to “Bad Girl For You”.

Solji: I thought it was wonderful song when I heard “Bad Girl For You”, that’s why I was able to have so much fun recording.

☆Taku: I also had a lot of fun being able to record together. I thought I was able to bring out the real EXID a little, did it go well?

EXID: Of course!

☆Taku: I’m glad! Well then, here’s the last question, while EXID’s group name has the meaning “Exceed in Dreaming”, could each of you tell us your future dreams or goals?

Hyerin: My goal is to continue to always have dreams.

LE: That those around me and myself are healthy and happy. That’s my greatest dream.

Hani: I want to live happily every day. With each passing day, I want to be a person who can offer a good influence to society, even if it’s just a little bit.

Solji: That EXID or my songs can heal many people.

Jeonghwa: To become a person who can encourage those around me, those who love me, and all the fans.

Who is the most ◯◯ person in EXID?

☆Taku: In order to get to know more of EXID’s charm, we’ll be asking questions like “Who is the most ◯◯ person?” On one, two- point to a person other than yourself.

Who is the most “air headed”?

Hani

☆Taku: Though Hyerin had an air headed image, so it’s not the case!

Hyerin: Nope~!

Jeonghwa: Hani-chan has a bit of a peculiar characteristic to her, rather than being air headed at times, she has a charm that makes you think she’s weird.

☆Taku: I’ve often been told something similar. (laughs)

Who is the most “stoic”?

Hani

Hyerin: When she’s on a diet, she won’t eat anything.

☆Taku: Even when everyone’s eating?

Hyerin: Nothing. “You would go even that far?” She’s stoic to that point.

Who is the most “Bad Girl”?

EXID: So difficult~!

Jeonghwa: “Bad Girl” to who?

☆Taku: Hmm, in an imaginary setting, a person more intimate than a friend, but less than a lover.

LE: But when it comes to the person they love, they become a “Bad Girl”?

☆Taku: A person who loves her is fine too.

Solji: Uu~n. Of all the questions we’ve received up till now, this one makes us the most careful. (laughs) Interesting!

Hani

Hani: It isn’t on purpose, I’m a little stoic, and I have my air headed moments, so those points may leave painful feelings on the other person?

☆Taku: Like when everyone understands, you’re the only one who doesn’t?

Hani: Putting that way, you can say I’m a bit insensitive.

Who is the most “Otaku (Obsessive)”?

Hani

Hyerin: Today is Hani-chan day isn’t it! (laughs)

LE: No matter what happens, once she gets into something, she’s the type to deeply concentrate into it. She has that type of personality.

Hyerin: Whether it’s manga, or studying, yeah.

Solji: She concentrates on one thing, to the point it’s scary.

Who is the most “Gluttonous”?

Solji: As in a person who eats a lot? Or a person who has a strong desire for food?

☆Taku: Let’s go with a person who is really picky on how delicious it is.

Hyerin

Hyerin: Though I don’t eat a lot, I’m picky.

☆Taku: Hyerin-chan is most happy when talking about ramen, or spicy food afterall.

Hyerin: I feel happy when I eat delicious food!

☆Taku: Oh everyone. What was delicious that you ate in Japan?

EXID: Abura soba! We love it! (laughs)
