"Overplayed? No, I don't think so. Maybe for the members? It had to be exhausting to put out that much music, but every single was worth the hype."
Riley shrugs. She has a huge respect for musicians, and a soft spot, really. Her best memories are of listening along to new releases and music videos from Korea with her sister. The two sang together, even thought about auditioning, but it just wasn't in the cards for them. They followed the music industry in Seoul, saw the hard work that group members put into just a chance to debut and then the lack of respect media outlets gave their privacy. Some wanted to be on stage while others just wanted to be a part of the music. The industry always seemed like a delicate balance.
"The songs were really well written. Powerful. I mean, I know they were a perfect storm of talent, skills, and popularity which record labels love to take advantage of. That doesn't take away from the fact that the songs themselves were really amazing."
