JustB drops 1st single
Boy band JustB put out its first single “Just Beat” Wednesday, holding an online showcase for the song.
It has been only four months since the group’s debut, but the members have put in as much effort in the single as they did for the debut album, Jeon Doyeom underlined.
The single is more about controlling and restraining feelings, explained Im Jimin. The debut album symbolized anger as flames in red while the new single focuses on internalized feelings in blue flames, but larger, added Lee Gunwoo.
The performers expressed their gratitude to fans for the support and said that they tried to show their candid selves through a reality content as a way to stay connected.
“We want to become a group that can repay the love we receive,” said Jeon. They said they have monitored their promotional activities for the debut album and thought a lot about how to improve themselves for the single.
“Hopefully we can become a team that our fans can proudly name,” said Baein.

Secret Number returns full of retro vibe
Girl group Secret Number came back as a six-member band with its third single on Wednesday.
In a media showcase, the bandmates admitted that they were even more nervous than when they debuted, probably because it has been approximately 11 months since its previous single “Got That Boom.”
“I’ve prepared for a very long time and been putting a lot of effort, and am so happy for this precious opportunity to join,” said new member Minji promising that she will try to capture the audience with her unique voice. Another new performer, Joo, also expressed gratitude for the chance and confided that she did not sleep a wink the night before because she was so nervous about the showcase.
The reshuffling of members helped each member bring out their charms, mused member Jinny. And bandmate Lea said it will allow them to fill up the stage even better.
As the brightly-colored bellbottoms indicate, title track “Fire Saturday” features retro sounds, and the upbeat tune, the bandmates wished, would give out positive energy.
