[Sportschosun Kim Joon-seok] SeeYa member Lee Bo-ram looks back on the group's peak years and reveals the agency's strict rule banning female celebrities from staying out overnight.
In the YouTube program "Cravings Unlocked" on the channel Studio Suje, which will be released on the 16th, SeeYa appears as a full group for the first time in 15 years to mark its 20th debut anniversary and shares behind-the-scenes stories from its career.
That day, the SeeYa members had dinner together after a performance and reminisced about their peak years.
They also drew attention by sharing a series of amusing episodes from their time promoting at the height of their popularity.
Lee Bo-ram said, "I once had a three-day schedule in Busan, but because of the agency's 'no overnight stays for female celebrities' rule, I had to return to our lodging in Seoul no matter what."
She added, "Senior group SG Wannabe could do it, but we couldn't," drawing laughter as she recalled the incident.
The members also talked about the strict management they faced early in their career. They said, "Back then, even makeup was banned, so we had to do our own hair and makeup." Kim Yeon-ji also shared a story about being asked to sing their hit song "Crazy Love Song" at a wedding congratulatory performance in the past.
Now marking their 20th debut anniversary, SeeYa has recently reunited as a full group for the first time in 15 years and is continuing active promotions.
The members said, "It's been 17 years since we've performed at a university festival," expressing both excitement and nerves. Their signature three-part harmonies once again sparked enthusiastic singalongs from the audience.
Meanwhile, the behind-the-scenes stories from SeeYa's peak years and the group's reunion will be revealed on the Studio Suje YouTube channel's "Cravings Unlocked" at 6:30 p.m. on the 16th.
