The group Eunice returned with a spicy and sweet contradictory charm.

Eunice held a showcase commemorating the release of their second mini album 'SWICY' at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 15th, sharing stories about the new album.

Announcing their comeback eight months after the release of the first single album 'CURIOUS' last August, Eunice said, "Since it's been a long time since our album release, we prepared diligently. We packed songs that the public will love from the title track to the included songs, so we hope for your high expectations."

The members, who marked their first anniversary at the end of March, said, "It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since we had our debut showcase here a year ago. We are happy to be busy going back and forth between Korea and overseas."

Eunice's new album 'SWICY' is a newly coined word combining 'Sweet' and 'Spicy', and it aims to express the harmony of spiciness and sweetness, which is a global trend.

Regarding Eunice's unique advantages and differences, Oh Yoon-ah said, "The change itself is the differentiator. There is a different image from the previous album, so it can be a good opportunity to grab attention. Through this album, we will show the unique swishy charm of K-pop."

The title track 'SWICY' captures the 'spicy-sweet' charm of the eight members. The refreshing melody, addictive chorus, and lyrics containing cute yet unrestrained emotions blend together to present a sweet yet spicy contrasting charm.

Lim Seo-won described the new song 'SWICY' as "a song that compares Eunice's spicy-sweet charm to food. We expressed the straightforward language of Gen Z naturally."

In response to the question about what Eunice's 'swishy' quality might be, Lim Seo-won said, "I think our Eunice image is very sweet, but while we are sweet in everyday life, our attitude on stage has a spicy contradictory charm."

Jin Hyun-ju added, "While we look sweet on the outside, I think Eunice's growth process was very spicy. Since it's been a while since our comeback, the practice process has been spicy, making it more swishy."

When asked if she has a favorite Korean dish that has a 'swishy' charm, Elisha replied, "My favorite swishy Korean dish is kimbap. The various toppings inside can have spicy flavors as well as sweet seasonings, so I think it's a swishy dish. Cheese kimbap is the best."

Nana mentioned tteokbokki, saying, "Usually, the tteokbokki that Korean members eat is too spicy, but the tteokbokki the members made for me last time was made sweet. So the tteokbokki made by the members was 'swishy.'"

While Eunice is planning an Asia tour in the first half of the year, Jin Hyun-ju said, "It's hard to believe that Eunice is going on a tour, and I haven't felt that we are receiving so much love from around the world visually, so I think I will realize it through this tour and get to meet many fans worldwide. I want to meet them soon."

Kotoko also stated, "I really wanted to do the Asia tour, and it was such a dream, so I am happy to be able to do it and look forward to meeting fans from many countries," and Nana added, "I am so happy that we will tour in Japan, my hometown, and I feel that I must work hard."

Finally, Eunice expressed their goal for this activity by saying, "I want to get the title of 'the representative of spicy-sweet.' I want to be called the representative 'spicy-sweet idol' in K-pop, so Eunice immediately comes to mind when someone says 'swishy' and also, I want to achieve number one on all music shows through this activity. I mentioned wanting to reach number one on music shows last year, and while I received many awards including the rookie award, I still haven't achieved number one. So, if we achieve number one on music shows through this activity, I would be delighted."
