They mentioned their hit song is far from a fresh concept.
The artists' changes positively impact their relationship with fans.
[TV Daily Lee Gi-eun Reporter] The members of TOURS, Shinyu and Dohun, shared some intriguing insights in a recent interview on Hyeri's YouTube channel 'Hyeri's Club'. They discussed the behind-the-scenes story of their hit song 'First Meeting Didn't Go As Planned', emphasizing that their original style was far from a fresh concept. Shinyu humorously remarked, 'We were never that kind of style'.
After the success of the song, both members intentionally changed their hairstyles, joking that their 'hip-hop dreams flew away'. Dohun admitted there were concerns about their concept at first. Shinyu added that during rehearsals, their approach was quite the opposite of freshness, often practicing in a relaxed manner, recalling moments when they practiced with their pants down, which elicited laughter.
The comments made by Shinyu and Dohun reveal the unique identity of TOURS. They are moving away from the traditional refreshing image, maintaining their unique style, highlighting that contemporary K-pop artists emphasize musical experimentation and individuality as much as flashy visuals.
The changes seen after the hit of this song have provided them with greater visibility and a chance for interesting transformations in their interactions with fans. The public's opportunity to observe their vocal range changes opens the door for endless discoveries of their diverse aspects.
The fandom can connect more on a deeper level amidst these changes, fostering an organic relationship between the artist and fans. It will be interesting to watch the musical direction and development of TOURS moving forward.
