CALLA ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY | FIK-LIVE
Hyunjoo: 3, 2, 1
All: Make me bloom, hello we are CALLA
Hyunjoo: Today is the day we debuted, one year ago…
Juni: Woah… one year
Yejoon: It’s crazy to think it’s been a whole year, it doesn’t feel that long
Hyunjoo: Today we’re here to be with Lily, reflect on our year together and to discuss our hopes for the future together. But first, come on our manager!
*Two hands place a cake on the table in front of them as the members clap*
Sophia: We have cake!
Emma: Cake cake cake
Juni: It reminds me of ITZY-Sunbaenim’s song. I met them at Inkigayo for today’s episode, they’re so lovely and their song is so catchy
Hyunjoo: A fitting song for our anniversary cake
Emma: This cake is so pretty, look it’s covered in lilies and calla lilies!
Yejoon: Whoever designed this was talented. Thank you so much
Juni: Very talented!
Sophia: Who gets to cut it?
Emma: Leader or Maknae?
Yejoon: Hyunjoo-Unnie should do it, because she has been working really hard over this last year to take care of us and get us here
Sophia: Alright *Passes the knife to Hyunjoo*
Juni: Seeing Daiyu-Unnie holding a knife is scary
Sophia: Why do you all think I’m evil and unhinged it’s so rude?
Emma: You are a little bit
Hyunjoo: Shht. Okay I’m cutting the cake on 3, 2, 1 *She cuts the cake and the others cheer*. Okay who wants the first slice
Juni: This one should go to the Maknae. She’s only 20 she deserves a slice
Yejoon: I swear…
Hyunjoo: Here you go baby
Yejoon: *Grumbles as she takes the plate with cake on it*
Hyunjoo: *Keeps slicing the cake and handing it out*
Emma: Thank you leader
Juni: Thank you!
Sophia: Thank you!
Comment: Have you got anything else planned for your one year?
Sophia: We’re flying to the USA tomorrow! And spending a week there
Emma: The company listened to our request for a holiday. We’re going to California!
Sophia: Even though I lived in the USA for four years, I never went to California, so I’m really excited. Although my friends are mad I’m not visiting them in New York
Hyunjoo: We’ll go to New York at some point! Definitely
Yejoon: I didn’t want to go to the USA
Sophia: *Laughs*
Juni: Joonie-nah is upset because she can’t drink legally over in the USA
Yejoon: It doesn’t make any sense! I’ve been able to drink here for two years. Why are they so far behind?
Sophia: When you go to another country you have to respect its laws… those are the rules…
Hyunjoo: It’s why I gave her a bigger slice of cake… she needs the sugar to sweeten up a little
Yejoon: You guys are mean to me
Emma: Lily, starting this year, Hyunjoo is no longer our bullying target. It is now our baby, Yejoonie
Sophia: I don’t know about that…
Yejoon: We’re the same age, Nayeon!
Emma: Last time I checked I’m 21 and you’re still only 20…
Hyunjoo: Okay settle down…
Juni: I’ve had one year of this…
Hyunjoo: I know, I know. We’re 1/7 of the way through
Comment: What has been your favourite moment of the year?
Sophia: For me… I really liked filming the MAGO music video. It’s my favourite of all our music videos. We had a lot of fun filming that music video and it turned out so well
Emma: Ah that’s a good one!
Sophia: I also love the day we got our first win. I’m always grateful to Lily for that day
Emma: I think my favourite moment was… hmm… maybe winning best artist at Fiks Bank. That was very special and something I really wasn’t expecting
Hyunjoo: That was a good moment!
Yejoon: For me, our concert was definitely a highlight. I felt a lot of adrenaline performing on such a big stage. I also felt very proud winning best composer at the Summer Music Festival recently. Another thing I’m proud of was writing and releasing Lovin’ Me with Jooyeon-Unnie
Juni: That was one of my favourite moments too. I also felt proud winning best rap performance at FKAMA last year. Also, seeing Joohwan at our concert. I almost never see him anymore because we’re both so busy with our work. Him seeing me perform live for the first time at such a special event meant a lot to me
Hyunjoo: For me, we’ve spent a year together, yet nothing will top our first day. Performing on a music show for the first time, seeing responses to our song. It’s a day I’ll always cherish
Comment: What are your favourite songs you have released?
Juni: This is hard!
Yejoon: For me, Aura will probably always be my favourite. But LIPS is also so special to me
Hyunjoo: Love Dive is still my favourite song
Sophia: You’re too sentimental. Please pick a different favourite
Hyunjoo: *Rolls her eyes* Fine… Oh! My Mistake then
Yejoon: I didn’t like that one…
Hyunjoo: *Whining* Well I did!
Emma: Hyunjoo-Unnie and Yejoon are like polar opposites with their taste…
Juni: Nayeon what’s your favourite
Emma: Oh… um. I haven’t really thought about it. I quite like Eung Eung a lot
Hyunjoo: It suited your voice well!
Emma: Yep! But I also like No a lot
Sophia: For me… I think my favourite may be m Firework. Usually I prefer slower songs and a lot of my favourites are slower, but I love Firework so much
Juni: My favourite is No
Comment: Why wasn’t your concert today?
Juni: Ah…
Sophia: Because, the first song on our set list was Friday Night… why would we perform that song on a Sunday?
Hyunjoo: Yeah… I just left them to it
Comment: Do you have anything exciting coming up?
Emma: Mm… we’re not allowed to give spoilers…
Hyunjoo: It’s okay, we can share little bits
Sophia: This isn’t the Hyunjoo I know…
Yejoon: Well… a few of us have been working on a song together
Sophia: The issue is, the company is still unsure whether we will actually release it
Emma: We really want to release it, plus the song is good. The company is just looking into whether… it’s a good idea
Yejoon: It’ll be a song like no other that we’ve released so far…
Hyunjoo: I will also be working on a little something after we return from the USA
Sophia: Thankfully, most of our major events are over now, so soon we will be allowed some down time
Comment: Did you guys get to see your idol friends after the concert?
Emma: All of Enchantress came to support us! I saw Yujin and Zoe after. Zoe hugged me a lot and told me she was proud of me, while Yujin told me she had a lot of fun. Her voice sounded quite hoarse… I hope she’s okay
Yejoon: Hwayoung saw me too. I could see she’d been crying a little bit… she’s so cute. I hugged her a lot and thanked her for coming
Sophia: I caught up with Yeona quite a bit! I haven’t seen her much since she debuted so it was nice to spend proper time with her! She also introduced me to Grace and Byeol! They all congratulated me after the show
Hyunjoo: Grace and Byeol are great. Byeol is so sweet and Grace reminds me of you
Juni: Minyoung and Sumi came too! It was nice to catch up with them, I haven’t spoken to Sumi in ages! I congratulated her on her solo debut. We also arranged to hang out the three of us soon
Hyunjoo: I also saw Jia! We had a good chat, she congratulated me on our one year. She texted me again this morning to say the same thing
Juni: We have such nice idol friends
Comment: Which fan song do you prefer? Lily or Our Garden? And will you release Our Garden online?
Hyunjoo: Our Garden will be released on streaming platforms soon I think… favourite… ah that’s hard
Sophia: I prefer Lily to be honest. Even though we released it early in our career before we even had that many Lily, it’s still so special
Emma: I think I prefer Our Garden, I like its sound!
Juni: I like Our Garden I think
Yejoon: I will have to say Lily
Hyunjoo: I’m sorry… I have to say Lily
Yejoon: Lily wins
Hyunjoo: Okay, before we finish our fik-live, I want us to spend some time reflecting on the year to come. What does everyone want?
Yejoon: I would like to compose more songs
Juni: I would like to write more songs
Emma: I would like to see more global Lily. We haven’t really ventured outside of Korea this year
Sophia: That’s a good one! I want to take part in more events!
Yejoon: Now our discography is getting large, we have more types of performances we can show off
Hyunjoo: I have one thing I’d quite like to do…
Juni: Hmm?
Hyunjoo: Collaborations. You know what would be fun? A FortyForty family collaboration
Yejoon: Mm…
Sophia: There was Whip you did with our SPIRE Sunbaenims, more stuff like that?
Hyunjoo: Yeah! I think that would be cool. I don’t know, I really enjoy interacting with other groups and idols
Emma: You’re such a weird introvert
Hyunjoo: It’s because people don’t know what introvert actually means *pouts*
Sophia: So, you heard it here guys. Within the year, expect more songs written by our members, more performances and more interactions!
Juni: So we leave it here?
Hyunjoo: I think so, we have to get packing! Our flight leaves in less than 16 hours…
Yejoon: So soon…
Sophia: I’m so excited for our America trip!
Emma: Me too!
Hyunjoo: Lily I’m scared because four of us don’t speak English… and the only one who does is Daiyu…
Sophia: You’re in my hands all week *evil laughs*
Juni: I hope we make it out of America
Hyunjoo: I do too…
Emma: Lily! Thank you so much for this last year, for everyone who has supported us from the beginning, or joined us along the way. No matter when you came we will always love you
Yejoon: Yes, thank you for your support and encouragement Lily
Hyunjoo: Lily we will love you forever
Juni: Thank you, Lily!
Sophia: Yes! Thank you so much! See you again soon!
Hyunjoo: Let’s say our goodbye! 3, 2, 1
All: I want you, Calla Lily. Bye!
