K-pop girl group BugABoo open up about their hopes and fears after launch of their self-named debut single
- Members of the group, which launched in October, tell the Post about the personal bugaboos they hope to overcome through their musical careers
- Choyeon doesn’t want to be seen as overexcited, Cyan has the opposite problem, while Zin worries her introverted nature gives her a dark aura
The brainchild of A Team Entertainment and produced by prominent K-pop songwriter Ryan S. Jhun, six-member BugABoo arrived on October 25 with their first song, the sprightly, upbeat self-titled BugABoo.
It was released with a vibrant, comedic music video that featured the six women facing down ghosts and various monsters and creatures straight out of Ghostbusters or a cartoonish B-grade horror film from the 1970s.
“It was a bit of a hard video to film,” says band member Yoona, “but honestly, the production team directed us in a really spontaneous way so it was a lot of fun.”
“There were so many computer graphics added later that sometimes we had no idea what was really going on,” adds Cyan. “In one scene, you see me reaching out my hand towards a jellyfish, and I had no idea that’s what it was going to be.”
When the BugABoo members speak with the Post over a video call, they reveal these ghoulish characters represent their fears and weaknesses, which they call their traumas.
