The ladies professionally modeled ‘Ducati’ motorcycles in various alluring outfits that had stand-out pieces like hot pants, fishnet stockings, and deep cut dresses. This sexy yet tough charm is definitely a big change from their retro-cute “Figaro” concept, which goes to show that the members can still tap into their former modelling experiences at any time.
A representative for ‘Esquire’ stated, “Unlike other girl groups who have the cute image, Nine Muses are model-idols so we knew that they’d be able to express the charm of the ‘Ducati’ bikes well. The members were all completely focused, completely taking the staff by surprise.”
Living up to their title of ‘model idols’, their teaser features stunning silohuettes of their smooth body lines, in vivid colors alongside a powerful beat.
Star Empire said, “They’ve been training hard for the past year to upgrade both their looks and musical talents. We’re confident that they’re thoroughly prepared to show a perfect image.”
On their member line-up for their impending comeback, they said, “There have been changes made. They’ll be promoting as a seven-member unit.”
The girls will be releasing their second teaser on the 16th, followed by the digital single’s release on the 18th before embarking on their promotions.
So I decided to look up and nothing was coming up that was confirming that she was the leader of nine muses until, I watched an Chinese interview of Nine Muses.
My honest opinion is that Star empire really messed this one up, it would of suited, Sera more to be Leader of nine muses but whatever!
Their management company, Star Empire, stated, “Since the formation of ‘Nine Muses’, we planned for them all to have active and wide-spread careers, by working as singers, hosts, models, and actresses… Under ‘Nine Muses’ , they will form one brand, but become individual stars.”
They further explained, “Though the group had 12 members initially, they’ve been performing a unit of 9. Because some of the members who performed the song ‘No Playboy’ are currently working as models, we decided to add Hyuna to Nine Muses to provide a new energy to the group.”
With new member Hyuna, Nine Muses will be performing “Ladies” on this week’s Mnet‘s ‘M! Countdown‘.
“On December 26th, Nine Muses will be standing on stage at the Tokyo Shibuya CC Lemon Hall for the ‘Seoul Train’ event,” stated a representative from their agency, Star Empire, on December 7th.
‘Seoul Train’ is a monthly event allowing K-pop artists to present themselves and perform for their Japanese fans. Nine Muses will be performing approximately 4-5 songs, alongside ZE:A and V.O.S.
Star Empire continued, “Nine Muses will be the main feature for this concert. The members are now fully into their practice after completing their schedules. This upcoming concert may officialize Nine Muses’ advancement into Japan next year.”
Posing with smudged make-up and messy, tousled hair, fans were surprised to see a member being introduced without a proper glammed up photo.
Representatives of Star Empire explained, “We felt that since she’s a rookie that not many people are familiar with, she’d be perfect to express the correct feel of the image we’re trying to convey. This is not just an image cut of Kyung Li, but rather a teaser that encompasses everything about Nine Muses’ comeback.”
21 year old Kyung Li has been a trainee for quite a while and is skilled in both vocals and dance. Nine Muses will be making their return on January 11th.
