Cosmic x Girl = GIRLS FANTASY drawn by an unknown world [WOULD YOU LIKE?]

Like the existence of a first love that is more beautified in memory, the unknown world is always an object of admiration. The image of a fresh and innocent girl is closer to the ideal than reality, and the space of the universe gives off a thrilling fantasy that cannot happen in reality. Here, 12 girls popping up from somewhere in the universe more effectively portray such a fantasy and create an imaginary world. Infinitely lovely and mysterious, the more you know, the more curious you become. It is the emergence of the girl group 'WJSN', which designed a new space that is only possible in the imagination and completed it with a futuristic concept.

'WJSN' is a global girl group composed of 12 Korean and Chinese members as a joint project of Starship and Yuehua Entertainment, a Korean-Chinese agency. The strategy of Starship Entertainment, which you can trust and listen to, is concentrated, and since it is a collaboration with the best entertainment company in China, it has received a lot of attention even before its debut. Members with outstanding skills in each specialized field, such as vocal, dance, and acting, plan to present the group's birth story and identity in a different way in Korea and China. MYSTERY GIRLS POP to hear, see, imagine and experience The world of 'WJSN' presents a girl's fantasy that transcends time and space. While retaining the image of a cute, sexy, or innocent girl group, it presents a unique direction with a worldview that cannot be defined as one. It is a composition in which fashion, artwork, and video are put together like a puzzle, as if clothes were put on a song against the background of music that exists in each episode. The 12 members will catch the eye with their pretty and innocent looks, or go back and forth between virtual and reality with quirky and curious characters. From Greek mythology to constellations, using various symbols of the universe, they plan to unravel the fantasy of girls' imaginations as if matching each other.

The title song "MoMoMo" represents the image of lively and healthy, quirky and mysterious girls. Hit makers 'Do-Hoon Kim' and 'Yong-Bae Seo' co-composed the song, and it is a retro dance song with an impressive vintage rhythm and meticulously designed melody. In particular, the scene sound is laid out in a light manner, bringing life to the stage enough to make people follow the choreography and expressions without a break. In addition, five songs, including "Catch Me" with an attractive and trendy composition, "Take My Breath", a song about a girl's heart trembling in love, and "Tick-Tock," about interrogating a man who stole her heart It realistically expresses ideals and fantasy. It is music that resonates with an unexpected realistic story even if it is unfamiliar to the absurd expression.

How far have you been with girl groups? WONDER LAND out of the world.

The unfamiliar background of the universe and the loveliness of the girl are further maximized through the video. Music that goes back and forth between reality and fantasy based on a pleasant imagination, from the girls in the house in a corner of the universe, to the cute props that stimulate the girl's emotions such as a candy doll flower party, to the activity of the Asian prince 'Lee Kwang-soo' who makes a surprise appearance as a sly alien. The video captures the attention with its bizarre storyline and fairy-tale-like visual beauty. Colors like cute gift wrapping paper and cartoon imagination are fun, and unique and humorous scenes stimulate fantasy. The vivid colors and light screen transitions in the video are enough to grab your attention.

우주x소녀 = 미지의 세계가 그려낸 GIRLS FANTASY [WOULD YOU LIKE?]

기억 속에서 더욱 미화되는 첫 사랑의 존재처럼, 미지의 세계는 늘 동경의 대상이다. 풋풋하고 청순한 소녀의 이미지는 현실보다 이상형에 가깝고 우주라는 공간은 현실에서 일어날 수 없는 짜릿한 환상을 갖게 한다. 여기, 우주 어디선가 펑 하고 나타난 12명의 소녀들은 그러한 판타지를 더욱 효과적으로 그려내며 상상의 세계를 만들어낸다. 한없이 사랑스럽고 신비스러운, 알면 알수록 더 궁금해지는 매력. 상상 속에서만 가능한 새로운 공간을 설계해 미래적 개념으로 완성한 걸그룹 '우주소녀' 의 등장이다.

'우주소녀' 는 한-중 기획사, 스타쉽과 위에화 엔터테인먼트의 합작 프로젝트로 12명의 한국인과 중국인 멤버들로 구성된 글로벌 걸그룹이다. 믿고 듣는 스타쉽 엔터테인먼트의 전략이 집약됐고, 중국 최고 기획사와의 합작인 만큼 데뷔 전부터 큰 관심을 받아왔다. 보컬, 댄스, 연기 등 각각 특화된 분야에 뛰어난 실력을 갖춘 멤버들은 한국과 중국을 무대로 그룹의 탄생 스토리와 정체성을 색다른 방식으로 선보일 계획이다.

듣고 보고 상상하고 경험하는 MYSTERY GIRLS POP '우주소녀' 의 세계는 시공간을 초월한 걸스 판타지를 선사한다. 귀엽거나, 섹시하거나, 청순한 걸그룹의 이미지를 간직하면서도 하나로 정의할 수 없는 세계관을 탑재해 독특한 방향성을 제시한다. 제각각 하나의 에피소드로 존재하는 음악을 배경으로 노래에 옷을 입히듯 패션, 아트워크, 영상 등이 퍼즐처럼 맞춰지는 구성이다. 12명의 멤버들은 예쁘고 순수한 모습으로 시선을 사로잡거나 엉뚱하고 호기심 많은 캐릭터로 가상과 현실을 오갈 예정이다. 그리스 신화부터 별자리까지 다양한 우주의 상징을 활용해 하나씩 짝을 맞추듯 소녀들의 상상 속 판타지를 풀어나갈 계획이다.

타이틀곡 "Mo Mo Mo" 는 발랄하고 건강한, 엉뚱하고 신비로운 소녀들의 이미지를 대표한다. 히트메이커 '김도훈' 과 '서용배' 가 공동 작곡을 맡았으며, 빈티지 리듬과 세밀하게 디자인된 멜로디가 인상적인 레트로 댄스곡이다. 특히 씬스 사운드가 경쾌하게 배치돼, 쉴 틈 없이 안무와 표정을 쫓게 할 만큼 무대에 활기를 불어넣었다. 이외에 매력적이고 트렌디한 구성의 "Catch Me", 풋사랑에 가슴 떨리는 소녀의 정서를 노래한 "Take My Breath", 마음을 뺏어간 남자에게 짖궂게 취조한다는 내용의 "Tick tock" 까지 5곡이 소녀들의 이상과 판타지를 실감나게 표현해냈다. 엉뚱한 표현에 낯설다가도 의외의 현실적 스토리에 공감을 받는 음악이다.

걸그룹 어디까지 가봤니? 세상 밖으로 나온 WONDER LAND.

우주라는 낯선 배경과 소녀의 사랑스러움은 영상을 통해 더욱 극대화된다. 우주 한켠에 자리한 집 안의 소녀들, 캔디 인형 꽃 파티 등 소녀 감성을 자극하는 아기자기한 소품들, 음흉한 외계인으로 깜짝 등장하는 아시아 프린스 '이광수' 의 활약까지, 즐거운 상상력을 기반으로 현실과 판타지를 오가는 뮤직비디오는 엉뚱한 스토리와 동화같은 영상미로 시선을 빼앗는다. 아기자기한 선물 포장지 같은 색감과 만화적 상상력이 즐겁고, 독특하고 유머러스한 장면들이 판타지도 자극한다. 영상 속 비비드한 컬러감과 경쾌한 화면의 전환 등이 시선을 빼앗기에 충분하다.
