Girl’s Day‘s agency Dream Tea Entertainment recently debuted a talented female duo named Jevice. Comprised of members Juri and Hana, the girls received spotlight prior to their debut for their already well-known vocal talent.
As one of the few duos in the market, they were compared to Davichi, the representative female duo of K-pop. “If there’s a difference between us and Davichi, it’s that we can also do dance music. We think it’s more fitting to compare us to Fly to the Sky because we share more similarities with them in that they were able to pursue both ballad and dance.”
Unfortunately, fans will have to wait to see any dance music coming from Jevice in the near future. Hana revealed, “We want to be recognized for our vocal talent through ballads first before we show our dance skills. If you want to see our dancing, show more love to our debut title track, ‘I Want to Love Now‘.”
Although this is their debut, the girls are no rookies to the game. Juri was a part of the chorus for ‘Qualifications of Men‘, while Hana was a first generation member of T-ara in addition to having several OST releases under her belt.
Both share similarities in that their past ventures didn’t bring much attention or success. Aside from ‘Qualifications of Men’, Juri’s career as a solo artist failed to take off, and Hana departed from T-ara after struggling to adjust to life in a group.
Hana revealed, “Before I joined T-ara, I performed in a band in Hongdae, so it was hard for me to adjust to living in a girl group with few freedoms. I did regret leaving T-ara because my parents had such a hard time with it.”
Jevice continued, “In the past, we thought we’d succeed no matter what, but after going through failures, it made us realize that we have to work that much harder to get our song out there.”
On their recipe for success, the girls chose teamwork. “We liked different genres so the difference in music tastes was hard to gap, but now that we’re actually working together, we’re discovering things we have in common. We have the same taste in men, so we’re both fans of Kim Soo Ro in ‘Gentlemen’s Class’ for his humor and masculinity.”
