Interview with EVERGLOW: An Invincible Group

(...) Originally composed of six members, EVERGLOW debuted in 2019 with Bon Bon Chocolat. The group quickly drew attention thanks to the charisma of its members, showcased through powerful, high-energy songs. EVERGLOW’s strength can even be felt in their name, which expresses their desire to “shine forever.”After six years of activity, the group has now changed agencies, joining Chxxta Company. And even though two members have chosen to follow their own paths, the group remains determined to continue, even with a renewed lineup and a new agency. Once again, this proves that the power of their songs reflects the strength and determination of the girls themselves.Barely settling into their new label, EVERGLOW has already announced an Asian fan meeting tour. And since Chxxta Company is known across Asia for its expertise in event organization, we can expect to see EVERGLOW performing on many stages across the continent, and perhaps even around the world!But to be sure, what better way than to ask them directly? That’s why I invite you to discover the exclusive interview the group kindly granted us.Before that, and for the very first time, I asked their agency to share a short comment explaining why they chose to work with EVERGLOW, so that we could hear both perspectives. Here’s what they told me:“We chose to collaborate with EVERGLOW because we saw their potential and want to present their powerful performances and refined energy to an even wider audience, through our production expertise.”Personally, I’m very confident about this collaboration, because I feel that the only thing EVERGLOW needed to fully realize their potential was the support of a caring label, one willing to accompany them and treat them properly.With that said, let’s move on to our interview with the girls!

To begin with, if you had to describe EVERGLOW’s style in your own words, what would you say?

E:U: An avant-garde group that captures attention with powerful performances and captivates listeners with a unique musical style.Sihyeon: We are women who embrace both light and darkness.Onda: I’d say our style is bold and colorful.Aisha: A mesmerizing group whose addictive songs and energy stay engraved in people’s memories.

It was recently announced that EVERGLOW joined Chxxta Company for a fresh start. Could you tell me why you chose Chxxta Company among all the Korean agencies?

E:U: Before meeting Chxxta Company, we spoke with many other agencies. Among them, Chxxta aligned the best with our values and vision. We shared similar ideas about EVERGLOW’s future, which gave us confidence in our decision to work with them.Sihyeon: We took a lot of time choosing our new agency. What impressed us most about Chxxta Company was their clear, detailed, and realistic long-term plan. Their straightforward approach made it easy for us to trust them. We truly felt this partnership would be successful in the long run.Onda: When we decided to continue our careers as EVERGLOW, we had long discussions and agreed to work with an agency that would help us communicate more with our fans. Chxxta Company felt like the perfect choice, and that’s why we decided to join them.Aisha: We wanted to create more opportunities to meet our fans through concerts and overseas activities. Since Chxxta shared that same goal, it really touched us.

There has also been a lineup change, as you will now be performing as a four-member group. Are you nervous about facing the K-pop industry as a quartet, or do you feel confident?

E:U: Since it’s our first time promoting as four, we feel both nervous and excited. We’ll work hard to impress our fans and take part in many activities.Sihyeon: Preparing for our activities as a quartet brought up a lot of thoughts and worries. I had many sleepless nights, but in the end, I decided to trust my beloved members and take the leap. As the new album’s release approaches, we simply want to show our fans the result of our efforts and do our very best. Until then, we’ll keep improving and come back even stronger.Onda: Performing songs and choreographies that were originally made for six members with only four definitely comes with more responsibility. It would be a lie to say it’s not challenging, but we’re confident we can overcome it and deliver great performances and music.Aisha: Rather than feeling nervous, I’m filled with excitement for the group’s future growth.

In France, your fans — and myself — see this new start with a new agency and lineup as a sign of an invincible group. How does it feel to know that you’re perceived this way?

E:U: I think what unites us most is our shared determination to move forward and meet our fans, no matter the circumstances. Things may have changed, but our love for FOREVER (our fandom) remains the same. We want our fans to know how much we love and appreciate their unwavering support.Sihyeon: It’s really heartwarming to know that our intentions are understood. Being on stage gives us the most confidence and is our greatest passion. We’re grateful to everyone who continues to believe in us, and we’ll make sure to return that love.Onda: We’re truly grateful. I really want to stay close to our dear fans and my members for a long, long time.Aisha: I believe the fans who waited for us and still show us their love are the main driving force behind everything we do.

EVERGLOW has always been known for its powerful performances and iconic songs. Do you plan to continue in that style or explore something new?

E:U: We want to maintain EVERGLOW’s unique identity as it has been established so far. But we also know our fans are curious to see new sides of us. We hope to explore different musical styles while staying true to who we are.Sihyeon: I want to continue presenting EVERGLOW’s powerful and unique music style, but if we were to try something new, I’d like to explore a brighter concept too.Onda: I truly love EVERGLOW’s concept and identity, and I know our fans cherish them as well. Rather than changing completely, I’d like to explore various genres while keeping the essence of who we are.Aisha: I’d like to keep moving forward with our current style but evolve in a way that reflects today’s trends.

Whether it’s your songs, MVs, choreography, or stage presence, EVERGLOW has always exuded a strong, dominant image. Do you intend to keep that image or move away from it?

E:U: Rather than moving away from what we’ve built, we want to preserve EVERGLOW’s core concept while adding more diversity.Sihyeon: We plan to continue with our powerful performances because we believe that’s the true identity of the group. But if our fans want to see something different, we’re open to exploring new concepts — like something cuter or more dreamy.Onda: Instead of distancing ourselves from our identity, we want to strengthen it by adding new elements and creating concepts that only EVERGLOW can deliver.Aisha: We want to keep the identity and color that define EVERGLOW, but within that, there’s still so much room to show more sides of ourselves.

I’ve seen that an Asian fan meeting tour is already planned. Can we hope to see EVERGLOW in France soon?

E:U: We’re ready to go anywhere FOREVERs are waiting for us!Sihyeon: We’d really love to perform in France, the country of romance. If there are French FOREVERs who want to see us, please invite us!Onda: Yes! Since we’re entering a new chapter, we have a strong desire to meet FOREVERs all around the world. We’ll work hard so we can come to France too!Aisha: We’ll come running to meet FOREVERs wherever they are.

Chxxta Company is known for its expertise in event organization. Do you think this will help you connect more with your fans around the world?

E:U: Yes, definitely. The agency’s expertise, combined with our international activities, will create amazing synergy. We can’t wait to meet everyone.Sihyeon: We chose Chxxta Company because we thought their experience would give us an advantage for overseas tours and events. So far, everything’s going really well.Onda: Absolutely! Our agency is known for its event planning, and we hope that will help us meet our fans all over the world!Aisha: Thanks to this collaboration, we’ll be able to create projects that our fans truly enjoy, and we’re confident it’ll all be possible together.

Finally, do you have a message for your French fans who have never stopped supporting you?

E:U: Thank you to all the FOREVERs who supported our new beginning and waited for us. We’ll work even harder to show you the best version of ourselves. Thank you, and sending you lots of love!Sihyeon: Dear European and French FOREVERs! Thank you for waiting for us so long. Don’t worry anymore, EVERGLOW will come back stronger and better, and we’ll perform in Europe for you. Please look forward to it, we’ll be there soon! I love you!Onda: Thank you so much for always being there for EVERGLOW and waiting for us. We’ll do our best to become artists we can be proud of, with even better music and performances. I love you so much. (said in French)Aisha: We believe that we’ve been able to protect the name EVERGLOW thanks to our FOREVERs, who always tell us, ‘We’re doing well and happy because of you!’ Please keep supporting the four of us as we make EVERGLOW shine even brighter! Thank you for your love and support.

And that wraps up our interview with EVERGLOW! The girls clearly have no intention of slowing down, and we can expect to see them return to the forefront of the K-pop scene stronger than ever. I’m truly happy that this was the first interview they granted for their new beginning.I hope you’ll continue to follow EVERGLOW on this new journey, and I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next.Thank you for reading, and see you soon. Take care!

“EVERGLOW Are Definitely Different” — The Four-Member Reboot and the Moment to Prove It Again [Xports Interview Pt. 1]

[Xports News | Reporter Kim Yena] The group EVERGLOW is making a fresh start as a four-member team, accelerating preparations for their leap forward as global icons. With stronger teamwork and a clearer musical direction, the restructured members are drawing hotter anticipation and attention than ever from fans in Korea and abroad.Recently, EVERGLOW (Sihyeon, E:U, Onda, and Aisha) signed an exclusive contract with Chxxta Company, signaling their new beginning as a quartet, and sat down for an interview with Xports News. In this interview, the members reflected on their past activities and shared honest thoughts about their future direction and plans.After concluding their exclusive contract with their former agency last May, EVERGLOW took a short break for restructuring. Now announcing their restart as a four-member team, they shared their strengthened teamwork and determined resolve for this new journey.

Sihyeon:
“We had a lot of worries before deciding to start again as four members. But because our fans waited for us, we were able to find courage again. To repay that love, we’ll return with even better stages and more active promotions. I really want to sincerely say thank you.”Onda:
“I want to thank the fans who waited for us. I’m also so happy and grateful that I can continue EVERGLOW with the members I love.”E:U:
“It’s a bit nerve-wracking to start again as four members, but at the same time, I feel very excited. Since it’s a new beginning, we’ve been having lots of talks among ourselves, finding ways to complement each other and grow together. Above all, I’m truly grateful to the fans who waited for us for so long, and I really want to make sure that their patience wasn’t in vain by showing amazing activities.”Aisha:
“When we first became four, honestly, I felt both worried and excited. But as we prepared for our fan meeting, concert, and new album one by one, that worry gradually turned into excitement. We have many new sides to show you, so please look forward to us and send us lots of love.”

Before beginning this new four-member journey, the members said they had many discussions together. However, rather than fear or anxiety, what they mostly felt was excitement and anticipation for the new stages to come. With trust and strong teamwork among themselves, they firmly decided, “Then let’s go together once more,” and began preparing for a new start.

E:U:
“First, we had a lot of deep conversations among the members. We thought about whether to continue as a group or to each find our own path. During that process, the four of us found that our thoughts aligned well, and we decided, ‘Let’s go together one more time.’ After meeting with the new company, we prepared to begin again as EVERGLOW.”

Having officially debuted in 2019, EVERGLOW is now entering their seventh year in the music industry. As they announce this new beginning, the members opened up honestly about the time that has passed and the changes they’ve gone through.

Sihyeon:
“Looking back at our debut days, we were really young, and I was filled with passion thinking, ‘If I just work hard at what I’m given, everything will work out.’ But after going through the COVID-19 period, I matured a lot internally and started thinking deeply about our direction for the future.During our break, I often wondered how our fans must be feeling while waiting for us, and I was truly thankful that they waited until the end. To repay that, I want to communicate more often and get closer to them through various performances.”

The expectations surrounding EVERGLOW’s transformation and new challenges are now at their peak. Although there may be pressure on the group as they restart after their reorganization, they see this as part of their growth and as a stepping stone for a stronger leap forward.

Sihyeon:
“When we return after reorganizing, more than anything, I don’t want to disappoint—not only our fans but also the general public. That’s why this time, we’re approaching everything with the mindset of preparing more perfectly, giving more than 100%. We’ve been exchanging lots of opinions and working hard together to create the best album possible.”Aisha:
“Since quite some time has passed since our debut, the biggest thought I have is that we can’t disappoint our fans when we come back. I really want to show people that ‘EVERGLOW is definitely different.’ To prove that, we’ve been listening to dozens of songs every day with our company, working very hard on the music. Because of that, I’m confident that an amazing album will come out.”

"Back as EVERGLOW" — ‘A New Challenge That Comes with Great Responsibility’ [Xports Interview Pt. 2]

Following [Part 1] of their interview, EVERGLOW have officially announced a new leap forward, reorganizing as a four-member group. Before returning to the stage, the members went through countless discussions and moments of reflection—emerging with even stronger teamwork and a renewed sense of responsibility. Now, more mature and more united than ever, Sihyeon, E:U, Onda, and Aisha are ready to take their next step.After signing an exclusive contract with Chxxta Company, the group is currently hard at work preparing for their new album while gearing up for their first Asia fan meeting tour, “EVERGLOW 1st ASIA FANMEETING TOUR: 4EVERGLOW.”In a recent conversation with Xports News, EVERGLOW shared their excitement and hopes for this new beginning:

Sihyeon:
“During our hiatus, we talked a lot about what we truly wanted to do. In the end, we realized that performing is what we love most. We all share a strong desire to stand on stage again—especially in front of our fans through live performances. We want to meet them more often in person.”

As EVERGLOW transitions from a six-member to a four-member lineup, fans’ curiosity and anticipation are running high. Known from their debut for their fierce performances and powerful concepts, the group plan to showcase an even more polished stage presence that highlights their unique color.

Aisha:
“Even when we were six, each of us had a distinct color. But now, as four, I think our individual charms stand out even more. As we naturally fill the empty spaces, it feels like we’ve evolved in the process. We’re also trying new things we’ve never done before, learning a lot, and growing along the way.”Onda:
“When we started as four, we put a lot of thought into how to make sure the absence of the two members wouldn’t feel too big. Of course, there was some pressure and responsibility, but more than that, the excitement of a ‘new beginning’ was greater. Now we rely on each other even more, and we’re building performances that truly represent the new four-member EVERGLOW.”

When news broke earlier this year that their contract with their previous agency had ended, some speculated about a possible disbandment. But the members confidently say they were never shaken by that idea.

E:U:
“We saw the talk about disbandment, but honestly, it didn’t affect us much. We were sure we’d come back. We even told fans we were still together and that we would return. So when people said we were disbanding, we just thought, ‘It’s okay, because that’s not true.’”

Now in their seventh year—often described as a turning point for many idol groups—EVERGLOW chose not to stop but to start anew. Despite the uncertainty and practical concerns that came with it, their decision to stay together under the name EVERGLOW came from one thing: mutual trust and faith in the stages they’ve built together.

Sihyeon:
“It would be a lie to say we didn’t have any realistic worries. But once we began this dream of being idols, we didn’t want to end it half-heartedly. We wanted to give everything we could, to show everything we’re capable of—and if, after that, it was time to close this chapter, we’d be okay with it. Thankfully, we all felt the same way, and that’s how we were able to move forward together.”

As EVERGLOW enters this new era, the weight of responsibility feels heavier than ever. But that same weight has become a source of motivation—driving them to honor their name and the fans who’ve supported them unwaveringly.

Aisha:
“Lately I’ve been feeling this sense of responsibility grow stronger. The four of us are now carrying the name EVERGLOW, so we really want to do well. It’s less about personal ambition now and more about that sense of duty. There’s also a lot of excitement for what’s ahead. We still have so much we want to achieve, and that makes us even more eager to move forward.”

That mindset has transformed not only how they prepare their music but also how they connect with fans. The group’s sincerity and gratitude—both on and off stage—shine through as they begin this next chapter.

Sihyeon:
“Thank you so much for waiting for us all this time. I’ve said it before, but I really mean it—I love you all so much. Some of our FOREVERs have supported me since my trainee days, almost 9 or 10 years ago. To repay that, I’ll keep showing more of myself, so please trust me and rest assured.”Onda:
“I want to say thank you to everyone who has always stood by EVERGLOW’s side, and to those who waited for us so patiently. We’re working hard to become a group that you can be proud of. Please look forward to our upcoming Asia fan meeting tour—it means a lot to us.”E:U:
“I really want to thank everyone who waited for us for such a long time. We’ll make sure that wait wasn’t wasted by showing you many new sides of us through fun and diverse content. I hope we can communicate more often, both on and off stage.”Aisha:
“It’s because of FOREVER, who’ve always supported us from behind saying, ‘It’s okay,’ that the four of us were able to come this far. There’s so much we want to give back and show you. The love we’ve received is so huge that we want to repay even a fraction of it through our efforts. I know many FOREVERs went through a hard time too, so we’ll repay you with all our hearts and love. Please continue walking with us—wherever and whenever you are.”

“EVERGLOW’s Own Genre to Look Forward To” — Four Members, Four Colors, One Pride [Xports Interview Pt. 3]

Following [Part 2], the name EVERGLOW has long been remembered for its powerful, charismatic stage performances and flawless synergy. Now reformed as a four-member group, EVERGLOW returns with confidence that whatever fans imagine, they’ll deliver beyond expectations.After signing an exclusive contract with Chxxta Company, Sihyeon, E:U, Onda, and Aisha, is preparing a new album scheduled for release early next year. This month, the group will also kick off their first solo Asian fan meeting tour, “EVERGLOW 1st ASIA FANMEETING TOUR: 4EVERGLOW”, starting in Seoul.Since their debut in 2019, EVERGLOW has gained global recognition with a string of hit songs such as Bon Bon Chocolat, Adios, DUN DUN, and LA DI DA. Their intense concepts and high-quality performances have drawn widespread praise from fans in Korea and abroad, establishing their status as one of K-pop’s leading girl groups with a distinct identity.Now entering a new chapter, EVERGLOW plans to maintain their signature powerful image while expanding their musical narrative with more mature emotions and refined expression. Fans can expect the group’s signature sharp choreography and commanding presence to remain, but with deeper artistry and a newfound sense of composure.

Onda:
“Rather than keeping the same intensity from start to finish, we want to capture a more natural flow — giving power when it’s needed and pulling back when it’s right. I believe that approach can actually be more impactful.These days, easy-listening music is very popular, so we’ll follow that trend to some degree, but still mix in our signature intensity to create a genre that’s uniquely EVERGLOW.”

Performance has always been at the core of EVERGLOW’s identity. Known for some of the most demanding choreography among girl groups, they have been recognized as “performance leaders” since debut. The members recalled the electric energy shared with fans during live shows and expressed excitement about returning to the stage once again.

Sihyeon:
“Performing is when we truly shine. During overseas concerts, fans often stand up, dance, and jump with us. That energy flows back to us, and we forget how tired we are. Feeling that we’re enjoying the stage together — that’s when I’m happiest.”

With each member bringing her own unique charm and energy, the new four-member EVERGLOW promises to showcase a deeper and richer synergy. Their teamwork has grown stronger, and their stage presence is expected to be even more striking.

Sihyeon:
“This time, I want to focus on performance stages. Until now, I’ve mainly shown my strengths through vocals, but I’d like to present something more dynamic through dance — a grand, almost divine presence on stage. Rather than a graceful goddess image, I want to project a majestic, overwhelming power that dominates the stage.”Aisha:
“If I get the chance to do a solo stage, I’d love to perform like Britney Spears — singing and dancing at the same time. She’s been my idol since my trainee days, and I want to command the stage with that same energy and charisma.”Onda:
“I’ve often shown my dancing through unit stages, so this time I’d like to highlight my vocal tone. If I could perform songs like a Disney soundtrack or something by Ariana Grande, I think it would bring out a different side of me.”E:U:
“Personally, I’d like to try something unexpected — maybe trot music! I’d even wear a sparkly outfit and make it a completely fresh concept. I love the song ‘Dongbanja’ (Companion) — it’s upbeat and interactive, and I’d love to perform something that the audience can enjoy with us.”

Beyond performance, EVERGLOW aims to broaden their reach by exploring various fields and showing new sides of themselves. They’re determined to showcase the group’s individuality and talent not only on stage but across entertainment, fashion, and content creation.

E:U:
“Some of us want to try new areas like variety shows, fashion, or acting. Each member has clear goals and creative ideas we haven’t shown before. I think fans will be able to see us in many new ways beyond the stage.”Onda:
“There are still so many things we haven’t tried. We want to create our own content and experiment with different ideas — maybe a YouTube vlog or casual behind-the-scenes footage that shows our chemistry naturally. We want fans to see not just the powerful side of EVERGLOW on stage, but also our honest and relaxed selves off stage.”

While each member has her own individuality and vision, all four share one common belief: the strength of the team comes first. For them, personal growth and team unity are inseparable — and that shared mindset defines their pride as EVERGLOW.

Sihyeon:
“It all comes down to the team. Individual growth matters, but the meaning is much greater when we do it together. We’ve reached a point where we can understand each other without words — just a look is enough. That’s how close we’ve become, and that makes me even more excited for EVERGLOW’s future.”Onda:
“There’s still so much we want to show as a group, and that desire keeps growing. We want to share more of our chemistry, authenticity, and the stages we’ll create together under the name EVERGLOW. Please look forward to what’s next.”
