It’s hot right nowAre you excited for our comeback Lily? We missed you
ahh I missed theseTHE CALLA LILY ROUNDUP - ULTIMATE ROUNDUP
Well. End of Spring is coming and so is the end of my exams. I want to give a huge thank you to everyone for their patience regarding this CALLA hiatus, and for continuing to support me even when I haven’t been active with this group. Seeing CALLA be welcomed back so warmly with the announcement of End of Spring has filled me with so much happiness, so I hope that CALLA can return to being a beloved group to you all. That being said, I haven’t made a Calla Lily round up since March 26th and despite my hiatus they have actually been up to stuff. So! I think it’s time we dive back into CALLA. Everybody ready?
Oh yeah, I’m going to experiment with a new layout for the roundups, perhaps it’ll be easier to process them this way!
CALLA UPDATES:
In early April, Juni’s vlog was released. In the vlog we learnt that Juni’s mother was who got her into cooking and the two made a hot pot together. Sadly, Juni’s twin brother was working so he was unable to participate in the vlog.
Juni’s parents also adorably covered Rumor, even though it seemed to embarrass Juni a little
During the vlog however, Juni announced she’d decided to take on participating in COS. COS Super Nova covered Big Bang’s Bang Bang Bang, which was received positively by fans
CALLA also won Best Artist and Fiks Bank, a prize they were very grateful for due to feeling like their hard work was paying off
Emma unfortunately had to take a hiatus from April to May due to undisclosed health concerns. It was revealed that CALLA were suppose to have a single album comeback which the other four members decided to cancel due to not wanting to promote without Emma. Fans were upset but understood and waited patiently for Emma’s return
Yejoon and Juni however released a single that they had began to create on a fiklive. The song titled ‘Lovin’ Me’ was not an official comeback but was positively received, and fans have been trying to push for CALLA to get involved in creating more songs for the group
In May, CALLA did a special stage of KARA’s ‘STEP’. Fans believed the song may have been chosen to the similarity between the two group’s names. The stage was very well received with fans welcoming Emma back to the group warmly and believing the cover stage was a sign the group would comeback soon
Finally, mid June, CALLA’s 2nd full album comeback was announced titled ‘End of Spring’. The comeback announcement had quite a summery pallet making fans think that this comeback will be more summery and girl crush compared to their previous releases. Fans are excited to see what will come from this comeback, scheduled for June 25th
INTERACTIONS:
Fans were happy to see Juni interact with Minyoung of RO5EY in COS Super Nova due to their friendship being known but not seeing the two hang out very much @roaxy
CALLA attended Enchantress’s 1 year anniversary concert and took photos with the girls. Fans loved the interaction and support the CALLA members gave @LostInTheDream
Zoe of Enchantress also revealed that she and Emma had a joint birthday celebration due to the fact their birthday’s were so close together and that Zoe was going away for the tour by Emma’s actual birthday @LostInTheDream
Sophia participated in MYTHOS’s Antifragile challenge, something which impressed many fans due to her flexibility thanks to her time doing cheerleading. They also enjoyed seeing CALLA interact with the younger sisters of Enchantress @LostInTheDream
Lily are also excited to see the debut of two girls who appeared alongside Hyunjoo, Sophia and Yejoon in the 2021 MeHoney trainee showcase. Kahyun and Huihyeon (or Kayeon and Jiwon) are going to debut in LR Entertainment’s group Reveily, a company under the FortyForty Label’s branch
LILY TWITTER:
Lily are very excited for the End of Spring comeback and are speculating how they think the concept will be
OTHER:
Hyunbin, the brother of Hyunjoo, along with his dance group, acted as backup dances on the Korean leg of Enchantress’s tour, which many fans were excited to see @LostInTheDream
It’s great to be back with my CALLA girls. It’ll probably take me a while to get them as active as they were before, but I have a few ideas lined up already. See you soon
Pre-Orders end tomorrow! Make sure you order your CALLA photocards before then!PHOTOCARD ORDER FORM

I mean…Celestia and CALLA are promoting at the same time so many we get some YeonaxCALLA interactionsTHE CALLA LILY ROUNDUP - 19th June to 25th June
Sorry for the day wait.
I'm not 100% sure if these are going to remain weekly as before. I said yesterday a bunch of mini notices would be embeded with this roundup and here are a few of them:
1. I don't know if these are going to be weekly, at least not at the moment, due to the fact I haven't been actively working on CALLA for months now and I'm out of practice with creating content. For the mean time they may be biweekly or monthly which leads me to point 2
2. After Reveily debuts I intend to post another feedback form like the one from after I Love Me era. I don't know how much feedback I'll get coz the forums seem kinda dead atm but basically all opinions on the roundup as well as other points about CALLA management will be able to be brought up in this form. So if you have any ideas pls make note of them LOL
Anyways. Roundup.
CALLA UPDATES:
On the 21st of June, CALLA revealed their tracklist for End of Spring. The album contains 9 songs, with member Juni having 3 credits and members Yejoon and Emma having 1. Fans were excited to see Juni gathering more credits, with Yejoon and Emma also contributing to a CALLA album for the first time
On the 23rd of June, track 1 (Friday Night) had a surprise release, with a dance performance video. The song received a lot of positive reception due to its upbeat sound which felt like a party. The video itself though got some underwhelming responses due to the low budget, but fans agreed it was only a bside track so it didn't matter too much
Finally, on the 25th of June, the full album 'End of Spring' dropped. The title track, Egotistic, broke CALLA's 24hr music video streams record with 13.53 million streams, beating MAGO which had 10.01 million in the first 24hrs
In the Egotistic music video, Sophia had several pole dancing scenes again
CALLA are set to begin promotions for Egotistic on The Show on Tuesday
CALLA are also scheduled to appear in an interview on Tuesday for End of Spring
Juni and Hyunjoo have received a lot of praise due to their clear improvements in their vocal abilities
INTERACTIONS:
On an episode of Unniez, rookie idol Yeona from Celestia revealed she was a trainee at MeHoney Entertainment. Fans are now eager for Yeona to interact with the CALLA members, especially whichever ones she trained with. Fans believe it's most likely she would've trained with Hyunjoo and Sophia due to the fact they'd been training from 2017 and 2018 respectively, while other members were more recent @LostInTheDream
LILY TWITTER:
Within 24hrs of the announcement of End of Spring, the hashtages #CALLASummerIsComing and #CALLASummerQueens began trending under the Kpop tag
After the release of End of Spring, many Lily began to state it's their favourite album, due to the variety of sounds and it's summery feel. However, some Lily expressed concerns that many of the songs didn't sound like CALLA's original sound. This caused an argument on Lily twt with many saying they'd had to wait 4 months for the comeback, and so that the complaining Lily were ungrateful
Some of the line distributions for End of Spring raised some concerns amongst Lily. The biggest offenders were Friday Night, Firework and Milkshake. In particular Firework which was accused of severely favouring Sophia. Sopha argued particularly with Emmarine who defended Milkshake saying that loads of Emma's lines were ad libs and therefore she didn't actually get that many lines. Surprisingly, Juli were left alone despite Juni's Blind Letter lines, likely due to the fact Juni got to rap a lot more on End of Spring than she did in No More Fairytale
There were many fan wars between Lily and outside fandoms due to concerns about how "appropriate" some of the songs on the album were. Some people complained that Egotistic was too sexy and provocative, with Sophia's pole dancing being questioned yet again. Lily pointed out all of the CALLA adults are adults and debuted as adults, therefore can do a more mature concept if they want. The song Milkshake has also been questioned, with Juli arguing Juni didn't seem like the sort of person to write an inuendo song, but even if she did, Juni was an adult and was allowed

Sophia walking into Celestia dressing room:CALLA #EGOTISTIC1STWIN SPECIAL FIK-LIVE
Voice: 3..2..1 *Hand uncovers the lense and it's Juni. Juni is sitting with Hyunjoo and Sophia*
Juni: Surprise. You were expecting Hyunjoo because she usually starts the vlives like this... but it's me today!
Sophia: It's so funny hearing Juni not call Hyunjoo 'Unnie'
Hyunjoo: Hello Lily! We've returned as a group for a fik-live in order to celebrate our first win with our brand new song Egotistic today!
*The three clap*
Sophia: You may be wondering where the youngests are, they will be here soon. We're having them run an errand for us right now
Lily commenter: The poor maknae line
Sophia: They're not a maknae line right now because Emma is older than Yejoon *laughs*
Juni: We shouldn't talk about that in front of Yejoon. She's so upset that she's the youngest
Sophia: She's our cute maknae now
Lily commenter: Where are Yejoon and Emma
Hyunjoo: They're getting our celebration stuff for our first win with Egotistic
Juni: They're so lovely getting our treat for us
Lily commenter: Did you know Egotistic already has over 25 million views on YouTube?
Hyunjoo: Really? That's crazy
Juni: MAGO only got just over 21 million in the first week
Sophia: We're making it big girls
*Door opens*
Emma: We're here!
Yejoon: We have the milkshakes
Sophia: Sorry we started the live without you guys
Emma: What?! Why?
Sophia: We couldn't wait any longer you guys were taking forever
Yejoon: There was a queue
*The two sit in frame*
Emma: Hi Lily!
Yejoon: Hello!
Juni: It's our babies
Yejoon: We're not babies
Sophia: I don't know about that, you guys are so young now. What are you? 21 and 20?
Yejoon: That's not even young. You're just age shaming yourself *rolls eyes*
Hyunjoo: We sent the maknaes to get milkshakes to celebrate our Egotistic first win!
Lily commenter: What flavours have you got?
Hyunjoo: I got a strawberry one
Sophia: I got a mixed fruit one
Emma: Vanilla for me, I'm basic
Yejoon: I got the same as Daiyu-Unnie
Juni: I got a caramel chocolate one
Hyunjoo: A nice variety of flavours
Lily commenter: Jooyeon has the best flavour
Juni: These girls are too concerned about health I think *chuckles*. We just got out first Egotistic win and they're having fruit milkshakes
Emma: Mine isn't fruit!
Yejoon: What's wrong with fruit!
Sophia: Realistically none of them are healthy anyway
Hyunjoo: Anyway! Cheers girls! We've worked hard for this so let's celebrate and stop arguing!
Lily commenter: Do you have any stories from recording this album?
Yejoon: This album has technically been in progress since April. That was when we recorded Friday Night and Cherry
Sophia: Cherry was a pain to record, it took the longest time. Because it's a rap song. There were like one or two parts parts which tripped me up a bit
Juni: You did well Unnie
Sophia: Thank you
Yejoon: Cherry tripped me up as well. I'm really not that good at rap I don't know why the company keeps insisting I rap
Emma: It was Juni who wrote the song to be a rap song though
Juni: I wanted you to realise your talents!
Yejoon: My talents are singing not rapping
Juni: Shh, you're good at both
Hyunjoo: As for the rest of the song? I remember the recording of Ladi Dadi a lot, because I had to sing the same thing so many times, and the part was so long. I felt like I was going to pass out at one point
Sophia: You killed Ladi Dadi though
Hyunjoo: Thank you
Juni: I remember Blind Letter well because we did the recording together. For a lot of songs we take it in turns to record the song. The rest do whatever they want and come to the booth when they are called. But Blind Letter has many harmony moments in it where we all had to sing together. So we had to sit around and watch each other do their parts
Emma: That was a long day...
Lily commenter: Stories from recording Egotistic?
Hyunjoo: I mean some of the events that took place will be shown in our behind series videos but I suppose sharing one wouldn't hurt
Emma: Daiyu-Unnie fell from the pole
Sophia: I didn't fall! I chose to let go and didn't land gracefully
Yejoon: She 100% fell she's just embarassed
Juni: It's why most of the scenes are on the ground. She got scared
Sophia: No! I'm just out of practice stop!
Hyunjoo: Wow... how the tables turn. Usually Sophia is the one ripping into me
Sophia: *Sulking* why can't we share a happy group story from recording
Yejoon: Jooyeon-Unnie got scared of the fire at the end
Juni: That isn't a happy group story
Yejoon: It kind of was because she got teary and we all hugged her and told her it would be okay
Juni: I didn't realise the fire was going to be real
Emma: It was pretty intense. It was so hot as well
Hyunjoo: Overall I think the recording quite well. It was really sunny the whole time and the styling was so pretty
Lily commenter: How are you guys enjoying being younger again?
Sophia: For me, I'm used to international age. It's completely normal for me. I was all messed up when I first came to Korea and went from being 18 to 19. I felt so old all of a sudden. The others though, it's a complete mess...
Emma: Daiyu-Unnie immediately started making Hyunjoo-Unnie also call her Daiyu-Unnie
Sophia: I'm 23 I'm an elder, she's only 22
Hyunjoo: *Rolls her eyes*
Emma: And Jooyeon-Unnie immediately stopped calling Hyunjoo-Unnie, Unnie
Yejoon: Don't act like you're not also making me call you Unnie
Emma: You're 20 it's only polite to call a 21 year old Unnie
Yejoon: But we were both born in 2002!
Hyunjoo: The dorm has become a mess...
Lily commenter: What are your plans for after promotions?
Juni: Working every day for a month straight
Yejoon: Lily we're not over-exaggerating this. I don't think we'll have a single day to rest until September
Sophia: The Wren Media's Summer Music Festival will be coming up at the end of July, we have to prepare stages for that, we have our anniversary plans which we need to prepare for, and the company are already in talks about the next comeback. Really, we have no time anymore
Lily commenter: Next comeback already?? This soon?
Emma: Sophia-Unnie probably shouldn't have said that
Juni: It'll be in several months time. But preparing a comeback always takes a lot of planning in advance. We don't have the song name or demo or anything yet so maybe that part was exaggerated. But the company is already asking us to think of a concept and mood board for what we want to do
Sophia: We had three months of not busy, now it's time for three months of busy
Lily commenter: What are some songs you like at the moment?
Yejoon: For me I quite like Queencard by (G)I-DLE and S-Class by Stray Kids. I think they're both good and catchy
Juni: I like those songs too!
Emma: For me, I like Seventeen's Super right now
Hyunjoo: For me I like Celestia's song Underwater
Sophia: Oh yeah! Yeona's song! It's so catchy but so hard to sing as well
Emma: Yejoon should give it a try
Hyunjoo: My oppa was saying him and Jeonghyuk want to do a choreography for it. I might ask if I can be part of it
Sophia: I trained with Yeona quite a lot at one point. I miss her
Juni: Celestia are promoting right now aren't they? You should go to her group's dressing room and introduce yourself
Sophia: They have a baby in their group though, I don't want to scare her
Hyunjoo: How old is their maknae
Sophia: She's only 18, she's an '04 liner
Hyunjoo: Oh wow, so young...
Emma: I'm sure she won't find you that scary.... then again you are quite loud
Yejoon: Does she like sweets? You'll have to just bribe her
Hyunjoo: Anyway! Lily it's getting late. Today she chatted with our Lily while drinking milkshakes in order to celebrate our first win with Egotistic. We want to thank Lily for this opportunity and we hope we can get more wins with this song and with others in the future. But if not, we'll be thankful anyway. As long as Lily are here we are happy
Sophia: We have to say that so we don't sound ungrateful *winks*
Hyunjoo: Shht. Should we say our goodbye chant?
Yejoon: Yes
Hyunjoo: 3, 2, 1
All: I want you Calla Lily!
Emma: Goodbye Lily!
Juni: Stay safe!
Hyunjoo: We love you forever!
Sophia: Bye! *Blows a kiss*
Yejoon: Byee *waves*
