Hard to believe they are only 11 month old rookies.

On the live side, just check out their music show performances or their debut appearance at KCON’s virtual festival KCON:TACT, the latest instalment of which took place last week, for more proof.

At the latter, Soojin, Ji-yoon, Monday, Soeun, Jaehee, Jihan and Zoa showed exactly why they’re one of K-pop’s most exciting new groups, captivatingly presenting their own work while putting the Weeekly stamp on a boyband classic.

We caught up with the seven members to talk about their KCON:TACT debut, going viral and their first year together.

Why did you choose to cover EXO’s ‘Ko Ko Bop’ during your performance?

Ji-yoon: “We wanted to give a summer vibe, and that’s why we chose ‘Ko Ko Bop’. There’s a saying in Korea, ‘Fight fire with fire’, meaning you eat or do something hot when the weather’s hot to beat it. We thought everyone could beat this hot weather with our energetic performances!”

Soeun: “Right, also we thought ‘Ko Ko Bop’ was the perfect song to show our powerful performances, which is one of the strong points of Weeekly. It was physically a little exhausting to do EXO’s powerful choreography, but it was an honour to cover the amazing song at KCON.”
