Speaking of Spanish… Lily, I know you’re a big Rosalía fan. So I really want to work harder to be better at it. But it’s such a beautiful language, especially spoken. Because the language itself, the alphabet is kind of similar, but there are a lot of differences, and getting used to that. Lily: For me, it was also the differences between the English language and Spanish. Haewon: The first thing is pronunciation because it’s too different from Korean pronunciation, right? And accent marks. What has been the hardest part about learning Spanish? Lily: We all see Spanish a lot, and it always means a lot to us. So if we study Spanish, we can become closer to our fans. So I want to share our song more people in the world. Haewon: I’ve heard Spanish is one of the most used languages in the world.

It’s common to hear that idols learn Japanese, Mandarin, and English, but it was the first time that I heard a group say they’re studying Spanish. I watched your Hello82 video, and what stood out to me the most was that you said you were learning Spanish. During our conversation, the septet talked about their Spanish-learning journey, the Latine music they like, and Latin American countries they’d like to visit in the future. However, when answering questions, they all responded in English. Though not her official role, Lily, the only fluent English speaker, leads the entire conversation, acting as a translator for her members, letting them into the questions before answering herself. This being one of their first interviews in English, the members are shy but friendly. Remezcla spoke to NMIXX at the STEEZY studio in Downtown Los Angeles just days after their KCON Chicago performance.
