INTERVIEW

1, 2! Hello Inma Exma! VIDA LOCA, we're TRI.BE!

*Member introductions*

Congratulations on your comeback! Which part did you enjoy the most while preparing for this comeback and what was the hardest thing?

Jia: The moment I enjoyed the most was learning the choreography of my part of the song that goes "All my girls sitting in a tree".

TRI.BE: Oh, agreed!

Jia: Right? We had a lot of fun when we were learning that part because we just needed to have fun together!

MiRe: I think the choreography was also the hardest part, too.

TRI.BE: So true!

MiRe: For this comeback, we prepared a very powerful and more mature choreography as compared to our previous releases; every time we practiced the choreography, we would end up running out of breath.

SongSun: Yeah, we always ran out of breath, right?

MiRe: Yes, it was very difficult but we still had a lot of fun preparing for this comeback!

SongSun: And I think everyone did a great job learning the choreography!

What were your thoughts on Kiss and In The Air when you listened to them for the first time? How did you feel?

SoEun: When I first heard 'KISS', I remember being very thrown off and confused! The beat was really powerful so I was wondering "Is this really our next track?" but it started getting catchy as I continued listening to it - I discovered myself singing along with it shortly after.

Kelly: Similarly, the first time I heard 'KISS' I thought that it sounded different from our previous songs and wondered if our TRUE would like it. But as started adding the choreography to the song, it started to feel much more like a song that fits us.

HyunBin: And for 'In The Air', the first time I heard it I thought it was another fan song!

SoEun: Yeah!

HyunBin: The melody was very good and the lyrics also came out to be quite heart-touching so I thought it was a fan song but it was a song about the TRI.BE members! So, when MiRe and I were making the choreography we tried to incorporate this element as much as we could.

Can you tell us a funny or precious memory that you have while preparing for this comeback?

SongSun: I think all of our members are probably thinking of the same thing when they heard this question!

TRI.BE: Really? What are you thinking of?

SongSun: I'm sure it's the same! The fact that we were finally able to meet our TRUE! Since we made our debut during the pandemic, we never had the chance to actually show our performances to our TRUE in person. But starting with 'KISS', we are finally able to enjoy our stages with our TRUE together, hearing their fan chants and cheers!

SoEun: Oh, I have another one! You know that we practiced really hard for this comeback and we often practiced until past midnight, right? It was really tiring but we also had a lot of fun together while practicing so it's a very fond memory of mine.

What type of concepts would you like to try in the future?

Jia: Not exactly a concept but I do have something that I want to try with our members together. I really want to try doing a drama OST. I love watching dramas and I think it would be great to hear our music out in a drama I watch!

SongSun: What kind of vibe do you want to do?

Jia: I don't want to do a song that comes out in a breakup scene but a very bright and happy track!

MiRe: Oh! I think that would suit us really well!

Kelly: I also want to try doing an OST but a sweet song that makes you feel like you have butterflies in your stomach!

MiRe: Until now, we've been doing very powerful concepts so maybe it would be interesting to try a more pure and simple concept!

Songsun: Oh, that sounds fun!

MiRe: I think it will be fun and our TRUE will like it!

Which word and TRI.BE song do you think that describe TRI.BE the best?

Jia: I would say that the word is "perfect", right?

TRI.BE: Oh, yes!

SongSun: For the song...you know what to choose right?! 1, 2, 3!

TRI.BE: DOOM DOOM TA!

SongSun: The song that represents TRI.BE the best is most definitely our debut track 'DOOM DOOM TA'!

MiRe: Correct!

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear or think about Spain?

Jia: I have one! Churros! I LOVE churros! Every time I ate churros, I was curious where it came from so, I search and it was from Spain.

SongSun: No wonder it's so good!

Jia: If I ever get to visit Spain, I really want to try the churros there!

MiRe: I have one too! I heard there's a tomato soup called Gazpacho and it's very famous. I love soup and I want to try it if I get to visit Spain!

HyunBin: I personally love seafood and I heard Spain is famous for seafood like oysters and octopus so I'd like to try them in Spain!

SoEun: We have a song called 'LOBO' that has the lyrics "¿Por qué la noche es oscura?" and when I think of Spain, it reminds me of the Spanish lyrics in our songs!

MiRe: Spanish, yes!

What would you like to say to your Spanish and international fans?

SongSun: To our TRUE in Spain! TRI.BE really really wants to meet you! And we really want to show you our performances in person so we hope that the day we get to meet you comes soon. Does anyone have more to say to our TRUE?

MiRe: Of course! We can't wait to meet you through events like a world tour or offline fan meeting! We would love to perform for you on stage and we'll keep trying our best so we hope you keep loving and supporting us!

HyunBin: Please enjoy 'KISS' and 'In The Air'!

TRI.BE: We love you!

ENDING MESSAGE
