K-pop girl group Momoland, who had a breakout hit in 2018’s Bboom Bboom, hadn’t had much downtime until the pandemic hit. This past year, though, they have been able to get to know themselves a little better.
“We were so busy before. We didn’t really know what to do when we had free time,” Nancy, who has been exploring hair and make-up styles, tells the Post. “So I guess we’re finding what we like right now. Nowadays, we’re just chilling. Doing our hobbies. Hyebin did a play, Nayun is acting.” Nayun has, other members later reveal, also been dabbling with DJing.
“So we’re doing self investment, I guess,” Nancy says with a laugh over a video call during a rehearsal for the K-pop Superfest. The virtual music festival, hosted by the Joy Ruckus Club, will take place on June 20.
Ahin has been using the downtime to fix her sleep after years of hectic nights on various promotional schedules. She tries to wake up early to go out and walk around. Sometimes, she works out.
“I think it’s the happiest time of my day, because I’m able to see what people do, how they go around. I think it’s one of the happiest times of my life,” she says.
