On the February 7th broadcast of 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook', MC Yoo Hee Yeol asked, "Your team name is Girl's Day. Do you like this team name? It sounds like a name that was made without much thought." Minah shared, "We are extremely satisfied. When we first came up with the name, Girl's Day..." Sojin revealed the other names they were almost called, "If you think about the other possible names, Girl's Day is the best... Ice Cream... Diamond...." Minah added they were almost named by the days of the week, "Using Monday, Tuesday, etc. in English... Since our name has the word, day, we were going to use [the names] Wednes Sojin, Thurs Minah..." MC Yoo Hee Yeol joked, "Mon Hyeri sounds good."


When asked about how they were slow to succeed compared to SISTAR and miss A, who debuted around the same time, Sojin shared, "To be honest, we were determined that if we rise slowly, we will feel and learn a lot, but we had a lot of emotional distress. We heard that singers follow their [song] titles. Our debut song is 'Tilt My Head'. But we really tilted our heads as we got pushed back... SISTAR's debut song is 'Push Push', and they really pushed [ahead]. miss A's is 'Bad Girl Good Girl', and they became a 'good girl'."


In terms of being in a girl group and the most difficult hardships, Yura quickly answered, "Diet. I wanted to eat before too, but I was afraid that my tummy would stick out." When asked what she'd like to eat most, she shared, "Meat, chicken, and dahk galbi tang [spicy chicken]." Sojin also said, "Should I be really honest? Girl groups should be cute and fresh just when you look at them, but I turn thirty years old in a year." MC Yoo Hee Yeol joked in shock, "I thought you looked only around twenty-nine years old." Sojin explained, "I try to make my dongsengs do the cutesy stuff up front, and to follow their energy, I have to try three or four times harder."


When asked about their dream, Hyeri responded, "Even after time goes by, we want people to look back on this generation and think, 'This generation was Girl's Day.'" Sojin added, "If you think about that time, it was fin.K.L. Something like that. We want to be that kind of group."
