To Bada (28) the year 2007 has a special meaning. This year is the 10-year anniversary since her 1997 girl idol group S.E.S. debut as a singer, at the same time, this is also the year she begins her life as a real musical actress.

In the time of 10 years the rivers and the land can change, but even more so, first is changes a person. In this time span for working professionals, a title as a 'Veteran' can be earned. Bada, who recently released her digital single <Queen> and is absorbed in the preparations of the musical to be performed live in the month of September, over the years has developed to the extent to give off the aurora of a mature entertainment star.

"Try listening to it. The previous records seem covered by fog and have a true cloudy form, this time it is filled with excitement and a rich retro tone, and it also occasionally reminds you of the 70’s, these sounds distinctly capture your ear.

There is no need to explain this is how my music is, it clearly explains itself." In this single album after Bada left S.E.S. starting from 2003 she showed us songs that were fun to listen, she was only not able to separate from "pop" but still she truly displayed a clear concept so that fans listen because they were able to easily understand the music. Giving just enough body movement with the drum’s rhythm, it is enough to let us enjoy a refreshing summer.

Bada's music is difficult to sing along. It demands that much superior talent. Because of that the simpler ballads even demand exerting a lot of effort, so listeners do not get bored of listening. In the competitive album market of the nation, even supporting the sales is ballad music, this can be seen as a truthful statement.

But in this busiest season this is firm. "As I lived as a singer for this long time, I believe I was able to support my young image from the beginning because I did not make ballads my primary aim. Of course after some time I plan to hang on through a concentration on ballad music, but not yet. As I get older and music matures in my body, at that time I will come out with a voice that suits ballads and won't the passion become more alive at that time. For that time I have some ballad songs already gathered. Love is like this too. I mean that if you want to know what love is you need time."




For the mono musical opening in September "Tell Me on a Sunday" Bada is proceeding with practices in the heat waves. In this musical Bada will appear on stage as an underground singer, personally she will be responsible for both vocals and dance.

To the extent of being satisfied as a singer her growth period will end at 10 years and she will take her first step to jumping in with all the more effort towards her ambitious plan to be an actress and musical actress.

For the 10-year anniversary whether the members of S.E.S. release a joint album or prepare a public performance, there are many speculations that neither of these will happen. "Eugene and Shoo are my intimate friends like the old days. In the middle of the night we gather and chat as we watch videos, this is our relationship. We are discussing a commemorative performance or album I can do with them, but whether we can actually do it is in doubt. Our fans are asking whether or not we will reunite but in reality this is impossible."

To sing even when she ages, like Madonna and other artists, what can be this "competitive power" the dreaming Bada has that attracts and holds onto fans steadily. The energy she has shown throughout the past 10 years is the answer. You will know the reason if you see her eyes.

With a luxury and vintage meaning, returning with this "Lux.Vin. style" is Bada who is busily running towards a new direction as a musical star and actress.
