Rookie K-pop girl group Bling Bling, who dropped their first single, G.G.B, in November, released their first mini-album, Contrast, on May 20. Their second single, Oh Mama, is markedly different to the softer moments found on the album’s B-side. 

The six-member group’s powerful performances radiate energy, and that energy springs from the bright and bubbly personalities of Bling Bling’s members: Yubin, Jieun, Ayamy, Marin, Juhyun and Narin.

In a recent video call with the Post following the release of Contrast, they shared their thoughts on Bling Bling’s music, what inspired them to pursue a K-pop career, and more.

Juhyun: Our single describes someone falling head over heels for someone, unable to control their emotions. When we were preparing for this release, we actually voted on Oh Mama as the single, feeling it’d show off Bling Bling’s style well.
