Serri talks about the hate Dal Shabet’s debut received + photos from their comeback MV set

On January 6th, Dal Shabet‘s Serri reflected on the group’s debut and the obstacles they faced while on the set of their music video shoot for their comeback track, “Hit U“.
Serri began, “Dal Shabet was connected to Girls’ Generation immediately after our debut, and articles were released stating that, which wasn’t good to watch. At the time of my debut, I got in the headlines for resembling Wonder Girls‘ Sunye and Girls’ Generation member Jessica, which brought a lot of hateful replies that hurt me.”
Because Dal Shabet was produced by E-TRIBE, the composers behind Girls’ Generation’s hit song “Gee“, many netizens began calling them the ‘second Girls’ Generation’, which in turn instigated protests and a large anti-fan population.
Serri continued, “I was really shocked and at a loss on what to do whenever I heard people say, ‘How could you be Girls’ Generation? You’re too ugly.’ Now that a year has past, I’m glad to say that Dal Shabet has found their own color.”
She added, “Now that we’re a year into our debut, our individual members have been promoting on their own and have created names for themselves that people can recognize. We’re not going to try to get in the headlines for resembling other people, but rather just work hard on our own and get our identity out there.”

Dal Shabet selects Lee Hyori & 2NE1 as their role models

Girl group Dal Shabet selected singer Lee Hyori and fellow girl group 2NE1 as their role models.
The members revealed their Kyunggi-do “Hit U” MV film site on the 6th, and met with a few reporters to answer a few questions.
Dal Shabet member Viki was asked which girl group she were jealous of, and she responded, “I respect Lee Hyori. I envy everything about her. Her song “U Go Girl” is my absolute favorite.”
“She’s cute, bubbly, and sexy all at the same time, and I’m envious of her performances,” she continued.
Fellow member Jiyul remarked, “My main priority when I stand on stage is perfecting the dance moves that we learned. But the 2NE1 members really know how to enjoy themselves on stage, and it’s so refreshing to see. I would like to not be so concerned with my dance routine and instead focus on enjoying the stage with the audience members.”
When asked what made Dal Shabet uniquely sexy, member Serri confidently answered, “I think just instinct. We tend to naturally reveal our own innate appeals and charms.”
Different from the bubbly and cute image the girls have had until now, the members were dressed in sexier outfits to bring out the ‘femme fatale’ within for their “Hit U” MV. “Hit U” is a song from their fourth mini-album and it encompasses both hip hop and rock. As always, the girls showcase their powerful vocals and their sincere attitude towards their music. Dal Shabet will be making their comeback performance on January 26th.

Date: 2012-01-11 07:59 am (UTC)wish more idols would realize this. it's one thing to be able to dance ~in perfect synch~ but it takes a great performer to be able to engage the crowd and be fully relaxed on stage.

Kween Serri's hair isn't working for her, but I love Viki and Gaeun's, and Subin's red is pretty cool.
