Leader change to Sihyun and wishes for group transformation (EverGlow)

シヒョンへのリーダー交代とグループ変貌の願い（EverGlow）

EverGlow leader change, from E:U to Sihyun... "Reminds me of T-Ara"

★ EverGlow has changed their leader.

E:U has been replaced by Sihyun.

EverGlow released their 3rd single album "Last Melody" and title song "FIRST" at 6pm on the 25th.

The change of leader was announced at an online showcase held prior to the release.

Sihyun, who will be taking over as leader from this promotion, said, "Following in the footsteps of E:U, who has been by the side of the members and protecting them since our debut, I have become the leader.

I will work hard to ensure that the members can interact with each other in a harmonious manner with a sense of responsibility."

★ Former leader IU offered her encouragement, saying, "It wasn't difficult at all. I'm confident that Sihyun will fulfill the role of leader. As the eldest member, I'll support her and be a reliable reinforcement."

EverGlow is a girl group that debuted in March 2019.

They are affiliated with Yuehua Entertainment, which is headquartered in Beijing, China. There are rumors that Yena, former member of IZ*ONE, will join the group.

The following are reactions to the change of leader from Korean online communities.

(Reactions from Korean online communities)

▼"Why choose the leader?"
▼"Do they take turns being the leader?"
▼"It doesn't look good. All the previous ones were questionable."
▼"It reminds me of T-ara."
▼"The company should come first...."
▼"Right now, Sihyun is the only member Korean fans can rely on."
▼"The leader is a stressful position in all organizations. Wouldn't it be more considerate to take turns?"
▼"I think it would be better to choose the right member."
▼"I thought the same thing after watching the documentary, "Change is definitely needed."

E:U (EverGlow is made up of A-type members, except for Lee Yu (O type) and Yi Long (AB type). Although they perform flashy stages, the individuality of each member does not seem to stand out.

That's a real shame.

E:U (Eee (O type) and Yi Long (AB type) are surrounded by the quietness of the A-type members, and I even think they are unable to fully express the individuality unique to their blood type (?).

That shouldn't be the case, but that's how it felt when I watched this MV.

Their performance is similar to BLACKPINK's, but they are the opposite of BLACKPINK in that they are weak in asserting their individuality. That could be said to be their weakness.

As for the stage in this MV as a whole, the song is well-made and the performance is good.

The start isn't that great, but the quality of the song and the appeal of the stage make me think that the number of views for the MV will increase steadily.

There's no doubt that this song has the power to aim for 100 million views. Their stage presence is not inferior to that of top girls.

Contrary to their performance, there is one member who is worthy of bringing lively energy to the quiet EverGlow.

Now that you mention it, you probably think of her right away, but the member I recommend joining the team is Yena (formerly of IZONE).

She is an unusual yet honest type A member.

Until I checked her blood type, I had always believed that Yena was type B.

Her easy-going cheerfulness makes her seem more like type B than type A.

If you were to make a blood type distribution chart with A, B, O, and AB, Yena might be located close to the intersection with blood types O and B.

It's not that Yena is good because she's close to types B and O, but I'd like to think that Yena maintains the good qualities of type A while also possessing the adventurous spirit and energy to go out and do things.

I feel that with Yena joining EverGlow, her cheerful personality will be highlighted and she will undergo a transformation.

Maybe the reason they pushed Sihyun (blood type A) to be the leader is because they hope that she will bring about a change in the group...?
