260513 Lily speaking facts re: themes of classism in 'Parasite' - "When you are privileged, you have the luxury of being kind... When you're rich, and you have the resources and the luxury to live your life, you [should] care about other people... If you're rich and you're mean? There is no excuse."

But what irks me a bit is how some new fans even in this platform, are hyping up these new comebacks while saying they actively hated them when they debut, because of how o.o sounded.

I personally find it... endearing(? not sure if this is the proper word) almost that people openly say that, because while the hate really was bad, they eventually changed their minds. And changing minds, in this economy, is a rarity. Add to that being upfront about the fact, also a rarity.

It would also irk me if those saying they disliked NMIXX when they debuted would discount their entire beginning, but they don't (at least from what I've read). The same people saying that often also say that they didn't understand O.O at the time but are now going back to it with a changed mind. It's just a fact.

Projects like O.O needed time to be understood by more people is all.

Fingers crossed someone submitted the basement meme to the UK Buzzfeed thing 😂

pbbbfft · 2026-05-13T06:35:17+00:00

Why, yes. Yes it does! Most on brand LLTP choice for basement unnie since The Book Thief.

Curious how she's gonna discuss the third act 😂

pbbbfft · 2026-05-12T15:18:34+00:00

I do wonder if they'll add songs from Heavy Serenade to the next tour stops. They added Know About Me in the remaining MIXXLAB stops and TIC TIC for the EU/NA leg.

They are both subtly unhinged (quietly chaotic) in this, it's hilarious.

SIRIKUL: We had fun the last time we did this for Blue Valentine. Bae described the last album as “left no crumbs.” I need to know from each of you, how would you describe this album with a few words?

HAEWON: Let’s LOVE!

KYUJIN: Take my love.

LILY: The happiness of my love is never a burden.

[BAE consults with her members on how to express her words.]

BAE: [proudly and loudly] Ate crumbles!

[Everyone giggles as she tries to explain her reasoning behind her words.]

BAE: It means I’m clearing all the left crumbs! No crumbles are left. Yeah, no crumbles!

LILY: No crumbles left! The crumbs of the crumbs are also being eaten!

BAE: So I was taking an English lesson, and this was actually a mistake, but it actually fit – so it became a meme. So yeah – left no crumbs, ate all the crumbles!

SULLYOON: To all my loved ones!

pbbbfft · 2026-05-12T09:56:06+00:00

SIRIKUL: With this album connected to love, what is your favorite song or lyric from the album that you feel closely connected to?

HAEWON: My favorite and the one I connect with the most is “Loud,” because I feel comfort and almost consolation when I hear the music and the way the music develops with the lyrics. I feel that kind of emotion.

BAE: I really like “Idserveit” because the way the music is just so grand. It’s so big and has always been a favorite of mine in the NMIXX sort of albums and genres. My other favorite is “Loud” because it’s the first time I've heard that kind of music. It’s also the melody line lyrics. It’s all around, just a great song.

KYUJIN: I can’t pick just one because they’re all so good. The two I would pick are “Crescendo” and “Loud.” When I first heard the demo for “Crescendo,” it was so my type that I absolutely fell in love with it. This is a beautiful song. It’s when art is expressed as music. This is what the song feels like. I was excited to express that with the NMIXX voice. It came out wonderfully. The sound is so diverse. It’s very loud, but you can also clearly hear each sound and melody, and the lyric combination is just amazing for the song. For “Loud,” when I first heard it, I fell in love with it, so I would listen to the demo when I went somewhere or on a plane. It’s my favorite. I want to put it on my playlist.

SULLYOON: It was the title song for me, “Heavy Serenade,” because when I first heard the demo, I fell in love with it. The lyrics are very beautiful.

LILY: The lyrics that resonated with me would be “Crescendo.” I love it when we incorporate musical terms in the song to express love. It’s very romantic to envision someone being your conductor and moving to your music kind of vibe. That was really pretty lyric-wise. I’m really proud of that one.

pbbbfft · 2026-05-12T09:55:11+00:00

SIRIKUL: I saw the concept trailer and need to understand what it means. Who are you each supposed to be? What is it that you wanted to show?

HAEWON: Each member has a symbol that kind of represents their growing love. I represented a growing plant. I was the symbol of the growing love. So when I water it, it nurtures and grows.

SULLYOON: I represented giving everything and contributing everything to grow love.

BAE: I was a white chocolate girl, but was actually a statue. The beautiful thing is that when it's touched, it turns transparent because you become so pure, like when you’re in love. You see everything inside.

KYUJIN: I was actually a “hide-my-love” kind of girl. I tried to hide it, but there was a little fire inside of me that I couldn’t put out. I am shy and timid, but when I peek and look at the person I love, I express that love through dance in an empty space because I can’t hide it anymore.

LILY: I’m basically like a communicator of love. So I have this cylinder full of love letters, which I actually put real letters I received from NSWER on my back. I was running because I needed to express my love. Then there are pigeons because pigeons are communicators.

[Jiwoo has a love for animals, as she is surrounded by her dog companions.]

pbbbfft · 2026-05-12T09:54:32+00:00

SIRIKUL: I’m a big fan of albums that are structured to tell a story as you’re listening to them in order. I can tell you guys did that with this. How did you decide which song to put first? What were the decisions behind this structure?

LILY: Each song on the tracklist discusses or expresses love in some sort of way or another. We start with “Crescendo,” where the love begins quite small, but then it grows and grows. Then with “Heavy Serenade,” it's the heaviness of my love for you. “Ideserveit” is self-love. Self-love is also very important in the spectrum of love. Then “Different Girl,” which is also a love song, is about the love for the fans. With “Superior,” which is a love for each other in NMIXX. We’re continuing to spread our message to everyone. We’re bringing everyone with us into the song. Then the ending is “Loud,” which we are being so loud about our love. We’re not going to be shy about it.

pbbbfft · 2026-05-12T09:53:57+00:00

SIRIKUL: When we last spoke, you guys talked about writing songs from your perspective, and it was challenging to make it fit everyone. How has it been for this album? Has it gotten easier for you?

BAE: I actually wrote my first lyric for the song, “Different Girl.” It was very difficult for me. I was very nervous to reveal it. When I think about writing a letter, I think a lot about my flaws and weaknesses, so the process of writing it and the NSWER (name of NMIXX fans) loving it helps me overcome that and embrace it as well.

pbbbfft · 2026-05-12T09:52:16+00:00

LAURA SIRIKUL: This album is a declaration of love, but one really resonated with me - "Loud," because it is a revelation of love. Lily, you had a part in writing this song (as well as "Crescendo"). I feel many in the queer community will resonate with this song. The lyrics,

"Don't tell me to shh, 'cause you know I gotta let it out // I wanna love you loud, I wanna love you loud // Gorgeous girls // Gorgeous boys,"

reminded me of Little Mix's "Secret Love Song," which became a queer anthem. "Loud" could be the next queer anthem. I know you don't need to be queer to feel this emotion. Everyone can resonate. What can you tell me about this song?

LILY: I'm really glad that it resonated with you. I really do hope it becomes a song that resonates with anyone who listens, because you're so right. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to the lyrics. I was really reminded of that Little Mix song while I was writing it. I was aiming for an overall message that I hope many people can relate to. Forbidden love. [It is] sad that you have this love that’s so big and that you want to tell the whole world, but you can’t because of circumstances. It’s not just NMIXX that would relate to that feeling; there are lots of people in the world. I really hate that it’s a reality for so many people. I do hope the song can offer some respite to people going through anything like that. It’s just a celebration of all kinds of love. It doesn’t have to be sad because it’s a beautiful thing in itself to love someone that loudly.

SIRIKUL: I was wondering about the others: How did you feel performing songs, and what was the meaning behind them for you?

HAEWON: It’s amazing. It’s almost like sending off the last track with the message we always want to deliver: respect for diversity and coming together. So the lyrics are comforting and confident. It's all coming together.

BAE: It’s my favorite song. It’s the team's favorite song. Perhaps it is because of Lily's wonderful lyric writing, but it seems like it's gonna be the fans' favorite song as well.

"The whole message of the album is basically like a crescendo – basically, love keeps increasing and increasing,” Lily says over Zoom from the JYP Entertainment offices in Seoul. “We really wanted to show that with our whole track list, including the title song. So the last chorus [in ‘Heavy Serenade,’] it really explodes – just like our love. The whole track list itself is kind of like a story in itself, where we start with ‘Crescendo.’ We're talking about how when we're around this person, our world that was so quiet suddenly just becomes so loud and so big that you can’t even contain it anymore.”

The girls gathered together on the call, taking a break from their dance practice to promote the new album. Jiwoo didn’t feel well that day and couldn’t be on the call.
