“Next year on Feb. 14 we have plans to hold our solo concert,” they announced on the 22th KBS COOL FM “Yoon DoHyun’s Music Show” radio program. While the girls have headlined as guests at their sunbaes (senior singers) concerts, this is the first concert they have held on their own. During that time the five-member idol group had expressed their interest in holding their concert, but jokingly said the problem was “due to Park JinYoung’s own concert, we had to postpone our performance.” JYPE representative said, “Even though the date isn’t yet confirmed, we believe we must hold a concert next year.”
