In addition, they had also begun the preparation for this comeback when they were still promoting their debut title track ‘DOOM DOOM TA’.HyunBin shared that even though they had already debuted 3 months ago, it still feels like they are just debuting. However, throughout the past 3 months, she noticed how much the members had grown and believed that they are going to do an even better promotion this time.JinHa did not miss out on the chance to talk about TRUE. Although she did not have a chance to get to meet them in real life, she had a really good time communicating with them through online fansign.

The B-side track also includes ‘LORO’.If you have yet to check out the music video for ‘RUB-A-DUM,’ make sure to do so below.In addition to the questions, maknae Mire and HyunBin showed off the point dance for their choreography. They had named it the ‘fan dance’ as it is similar to how they turn on the switch for a fan and how it spins.After which, they showed the live stage of ‘RUB-A-DUM’ and we could only be impressed by how powerful and delightful it is!After the dynamic stage performance, the girls returned to answer the questions that reporters had sent out in advance.One question was on the concept for this comeback and SongSun explained what exactly it was. She had made use of the words ‘refreshing’ and ‘spicy’ and emphasized that TRI.BE is back an album that no one has ever seen it.The songs that they released are refreshing, youthful but also at the same time, ‘spicy’ thanks to their powerful dance movements.Touching more about this album, the girls were asked which preparation they had put in the most effort and if producer Shinsadong Tiger or any other seniors had given them any advice.Mire shared that it was her first time taking on a rhythmic rap and LE had guided her a lot. During the recording of the song, she was very touched by how LE cared for her so much in detail and felt really thankful.Kelly also mentioned that when she had debuted with ‘DOOM DOOM TA,’ she was told to perform with a serious expression. However, for ‘RUB-A-DUM’, she was pointed out by LE that she could go for a brighter expression this time.As for the question on who had transformed the most for this comeback, SoEun chose Jia!The reason was definitely because of her new purple hair colour which looked completely nothing like how she was during her debut days.The reporters also did not forget to look more into their popularity overseas and asked they had noticed how there were so many K-Pop fans who had covered their debut title track.JinHa mentioned that she had noticed there were so many fans who had covered their choreography for ‘DOOM DOOM TA’. She was overwhelmed by the love from them and could not help but felt grateful.Adding on, HyunBin felt touched to see how there were so many dance covers and mentioned that they watched every video like a fangirl.Jia also continued by sharing that they used to be the one covering other K-Pop groups and it was interesting to see how other people are covering their songs now.TRI.BE has 3 non-Korean members and reporters also asked if the foreign members have improved in their Korean.JinHa did not hesitate to answer and pointed out that she believes Jia is the most fluent in Korean. Not only is she knowledgeable in the language, but she was also impressed by how Jia knew about the culture and various festivals.On the other hand, SoEun also commented that she felt Kelly did a great job too. At the beginning, they had difficulty communicating but it is amazing to see how not just Kelly but also the rest of them speaking in Korean.While TRI.BE came back in the month when there are so many other popular groups making a comeback too, they were asked about their feelings.The girls mentioned that they absolutely felt the pressure especially since they will be promoting alongside famous idol groups.At the same time, the pressure also becomes a motivation for them to work even harder to show the potential and talent they have.Finally, closing up the online showcase, they were asked the results they hoped to achieve through this comeback and promotion.SongSun shared that they hope many would think of ‘RUB-A-DUM’ when they think of the word ‘summer’. Also, she hoped that even more people will be able to get to know TRI.BE.With that, the girls gave a warm smile and greeting before waving goodbye. It is lovely to see just how much energy TRI.BE has and it is no doubt that more people are going to notice and fall in love with their charm.Congratulations on your comeback, TRI.BE!
