S.E.S. member Bada shares her support for NewJeans.
On November 20th KST, singer Bada, formerly of S.E.S., appeared as a guest on KBS Cool FM’s ‘Lee Eun Ji’s Gayo Plaza’ (hereafter ‘Gayo Plaza’).
During the broadcast, Bada revealed that she has been performing S.E.S. songs solo at her concerts, saying, “I’ve been doing S.E.S. songs since this summer. I didn’t perform them much during my solo concerts before because I wanted to establish my independence. After performing them for over a decade, I wanted to move away from them. But now, S.E.S.-era songs are back in trend. Many fans have been nostalgic, so I started performing them again this summer since I’m the lead vocalist. I can sing all the S.E.S. songs with my voice.”
Bada added, “Thankfully, the shows sold out, and I wanted to keep sharing these songs with fans. Of course, I want to perform more of my own songs, but I’ve done that a lot before, and I’ll continue to do so. However, when this season of nostalgia comes, it’s nice to reconnect with fans and fulfill that longing. S.E.S.’s fan club is called ‘Friends.’ So, I said, ‘Friends, come gather,’ and we sold out. Even my family couldn’t get tickets. Fortunately, this time we’re doing two shows.” She also promoted her upcoming 2024 winter concert ‘I’m Your Home’, which will be held on December 7th and 8th.
When asked about covering NewJeans’ ‘Supernatural’ solo during her concerts, Bada said, “I gave it a try. People might not realize it, but it was almost impossible for me. Fans were amazed, saying, ‘How can she do this alone?’ I practiced a lot, and since it’s such a great song, I had fun. The vibe of this song is very similar to S.E.S. tracks. While performing it, I thought, ‘If we had received this song during our S.E.S. days, how would we have done it?’ That mindset made it fun to perform all five parts by myself. I also covered it to show my support for NewJeans.
