BEWAVE is a girl group under GoldDust Entertainment, consisting of members YUNSEUL, JIUN, LENA, ZENA, AIN, and GOWOON. They debuted in April this year with their first mini album, BE;WAVE. On October 10, they returned with their first single album, ”Be your Wave.”
This new release captures the relatable emotions of youth, with BEWAVE singing about their 'overwhelming' moments. Building on their debut mini album, which conveyed the shared feelings of young people, "Be your Wave" deepens this theme by exploring the ideas of ‘overwhelm’ and ‘sharing the moment.’ Once again, BEWAVE runs passionately toward their listeners.
The album was crafted by a dream team that raised expectations. Just like their first mini album, this single was written, composed, and produced by composer EL CAPITXN and producer VENDORS Nano, additionally singer-songwriter YOUHA contributed to the lyrics. They perfected the music with the fresh vibe that’s unique to BEWAVE.
The title track, "Hard to get to you," beautifully captures the intense emotions of youth. With its striking band sound and addictive chorus, the lyrics tell a story that resonates with all young people. By the end of the song, it feels like you’ve just experienced a coming-of-age film. The accompanying music video nearing 2 million views is receiving praise and attention for the refreshing and nostalgic vibe.
‘Hard to get to you’ Music Video
KpopWise spoke with BEWAVE about their new music for an interview.
Hello, BEWAVE! Congratulations on your comeback! Can you tell us about your album "Be your Wave"?
BEWAVE: Under the theme of ‘youth,’ this album is filled with the explosive emotions we feel in various moments, such as joy, sadness, happiness, love, and excitement. We’ve gathered all those ‘overwhelming’ moments into this album. Through BEWAVE’s first single album, we hope to evoke the sympathy of all youths and sing together about all of our ‘overwhelming’ moments.
What was a funny moment filming the music video?
JIUN: There were a lot of scenes in the music video where we got splashed with water! One memorable moment for me was filming a scene where we played in the water together, followed by a solo shot of me getting even more drenched. Since it was filmed in the middle of summer, getting hit by the water felt refreshing, and I loved it.
ZENA: There were lots of water scenes in the music video, but also plenty of running scenes! What I remember most is everyone, including the members and staff, trying to hold back their laughter while watching me run. I’m sure it was because I looked cute while running, not because it was funny! Haha!
Do you have any role models?
GOWOON: Since my debut, Taeyeon sunbaenim has been my role model. I want to become a versatile artist like her.
AIN: IU sunbaenim is my role model. I admire how her beautiful voice conveys both softness and strength. She always prepares her performances perfectly and treats her fans sincerely. I aspire to follow her example.
Which member would you want as your stylist for a week?
LENA: Among the BEWAVE members, our maknae Gowoon is the most interested in fashion and has the best fashion sense. So, I recommend Gowoon!
What is something you want to learn?
YUNSEUL: While preparing for this album, I had to act in several scenes! Since the music video had a dramatized format, acting was required, and our performance incorporated musical elements, so I worked hard on facial expressions to express the lyrics. As I prepared, I naturally developed an interest in learning more about acting.
How would you describe BEWAVE in three words?
What is something you want to achieve by the end of 2024?
GOWOON: There are so many things I want to achieve with this promotion! I really want to enter the music charts, meet our fans more frequently on various stages, and most importantly, I want to spread BEWAVE’s name far and wide. Although there will be challenges on our journey, we will do our best, so I hope for a lot of support and anticipation. Also, I hope we can engage in more activities that showcase each member's charm. If I could be a little more ambitious, I’d love for us to win first place on a music show!
AIN: I also want to promote BEWAVE and all the songs from our album to as many people as possible. I hope that through our music and performances, everyone can relate to the stories we want to share and find comfort in them. Our biggest goal is to enter the charts with this album!
Do you have a message for your fans LU?
JIUN: We’ve finally released the song we’ve been saving since before our debut! I hope you love it, and we’ll continue to show you a variety of music and refreshing sides of BEWAVE. Please give us lots of love and support! Thank you and love you, LU!
YUNSEUL: I’m so happy that we can create empathy and touch so many hearts with our album! I hope we can continue to make memories together and share the warmth of youth. We want to be a source of comfort that our fans can lean on. Though we are still inexperienced and have a lot to learn, thank you for liking and waiting for us! Love you, LU!
LENA: Thank you so much for always supporting BEWAVE! Thanks to you, I gain strength every day to practice hard and show my best on stage! There’s still so much to improve, but we’ll keep working hard to show you better sides of ourselves, so please cheer us on! In our single Be Your Wave, there’s also a letter I wrote to you, so please read it! Please continue to love me, LENA, and BEWAVE! Thank you, LU! Love you!!
ZENA: This single album is full of songs that we really love, and we put in a lot of effort, so I hope you listen to and enjoy them! Thank you for your support and love! Love you, LU!!
AIN: LU, I’ve missed you so much! Thinking about finally meeting you makes me so excited! We’ve prepared a lot, so I hope you’ll share every moment with us. Thank you always, and I love you! ❤
GOWOON: LU, have you been waiting for us?! Thank you so much for waiting! This time, I want to share with you all of our moments and show you our most beautiful sides, without any pretense! Are you ready to return to the days of youth with me? Let’s do great together this time! Fighting! ❤
