Ceci: Long time no see. You two just had quite a long break.
Minkyung: Last autumn, we made a comeback with single “The Letter”; however, our last album was 1 year and 3 months ago. It has been almost 7 years since our debut, the thought of finding a path for our own music has been attracting our attention recently. That’s why we let you wait that long.
Haeri: We have been hesitant a lot. Should we stick with ballad or change to another genre? Collaborating with producer Brave Brothers to release single Again is our statement that, Davichi is diverse. We’re glad that the response is quite good.
Ceci: When your songs are released, they always top muic charts. People say your music is “trust-worthy”.
Minkyung: When we prepare for a new song, people insist that the song will be charting at no.1. That put a lot of pressure on us. And what if the feedback is Davichi’s music has been outdated? It hurts our pride as a singer. We hope that our song may not live long on charts but through live performances it will live long in music lovers’ heart.
Ceci: Gim Mu-hyun, the producer of Supersrar K season 6, revealed that Davichi’s songs were the most common songs chosen by contestans for their audition.
Minkyung: I heard it in the studio yesterday that our songs were the most popular in audition round. Eonni, it’s amazing, isn’t it?
Haeri: I feel weird. We sang our favorite songs for our audition too. It’s like, we have finally become a true singer.
Ceci: What is the strength of Davichi’s music?
Haeri: We are public singers. That means our music has to evoke the empathy of people. The lyrics and emotion in our songs have to potray the soul of Korean. Conservatise, refuse to reform – not really. Follow the trend, totally change to Pop – not really either. Our music is the mix of those two. I think that is the biggest strength of Davichi.
Ceci: I hear that your concept of this album is “Sisters’ journey”. The nature of Sister relationship is Love – Hate, yet it’s very hard to be broken.
Minkyung: It’s not the Love – Hate between us, actually it’s the extremely faithfulness. (Laugh) In fact, there's no Hate between us, there's only Love. We have been together for 10 years, including trainee period.
Haeri: Minkyung to me is a cute, michievious little sis. My whole 20s tied with her, the thought of it makes my heart tickle.
Ceci: So does it mean you two have witnessed each other grow-up and mature?
Minkyung: Yes, if eonni reveals some of my secrets, my life is done. Therefore I will have to be loyal to her by any mean (Laugh) To eonni, I’m just another annoying little sis; but to me, who only have brothers in family, having a close sister is truly a great thing. Moreover, eonni is not a dogmatic person. 5 year older than me, she could have ordered me around but no, eonni treats me fair and respectfully. That’s the reason why we are still able to be together after all those years, and never got into a fight.
(p/s: Haeri has a twin sister while Minkyung has a big brother and a little brother)
Ceci: Still, there must be sometime you both are in a bad mood. How do you make up?
Minkyung: Using Kakao Talk’s emoticons (laugh)
Haeri: Minkyung is a genius at using emoticons to explain herself. I always laugh myself to death texting with her.
Minkyung: Eonni may pretend she does not but she actually loves me so much that worry me. Musically, I’m really a big fan of eonni. But eonni sees me in different light… like a lover. Maybe that’s the reason she has yet to find a new boyfriend.

Ceci: It is said that a guy may find a girl hard to approach if she’s too close to her girl friends
Minkyung: True that. And now eonni even want the two of us to go on trips together.
Haeri: Two people traveling together will be more fun, and I feel more comfortable around her than others. Minkyung pretended to against that idea at first but once she agreed, she would be very dedicated.
Minkyung: To eonni travel is just travel, she doesn’t care about other aspects of it. In fact, it’s me who had to prepare everything, from travel plan to other essentials like clothes, food…; all she did was enjoying the trip. But it actually worked well for us as my nature is ‘making plan then sticking with it’ while Haeri eonni is very cooperative. Eonni followed my travel plan without any complaints. Though she was totally worn out she still did it, as a result she got a nosebleed on the last day of the trip. The lack of sleep might be a factor as we had so many things to chat at night that we only slept 2-3 hours/day during the trip. However, the main reason is still eonni’s lack of strength.
Haeri: This summer we have made plan for another trip together, I should be ready for other nosebleeds. Now I've known how to drink alcohol so this journey will be different.
Minkyung: There are some unspoken rules in social interaction, drinking alcohol is one of them. After a show, saying “Let’s have some drinks” is a way to show your appreciation to the staff. But for someone who couldn’t drink like eonni, she would say “Let’s have some caffè macchiato”. It’s inappropriate. I have had to put a lot of effort to change eonni to like today.
Ceci: Does that mean Haeri was pushed to the world of alcohol?
Haeri: I had been addicted to beer and fried-chicken, Minkyung took advantage of that opportunity to teach me how to drink makgeolli (rice wine), sake, whisky, champagne, goryangju (sorghum wine)…
Minkyung: She can’t yet drink soju. Other than that, she will be soon catching up with me.

Ceci: I hear that you two act scarily alike. Have you ever jumped up by surprise?
Haeri: I have been startled many times. I like Avant-garde fashion while Minkyung prefers simple style, yet we often coincidently dress alike when we meet each other. People often ask if we have pre-discussed at home.
Minkyung: Therefore before an important event, we have to call each other to make sure that we will not dress up the same. It would be awkward if we got caught dressing like a couple multiple times. It happens because we formed a habit of being together in trainee days. Even in the days we did not have joint practice schedule, we still hung out together.
Ceci: When do you feel particularly understand your partner?
Minkyung: We can read the other’s mind without saying the words. For example, when one passes gas, the other will know immediately? (Laugh) I mean we can sense the other’s feeling just by looking at the eyes.
Haeri: We are now at a stage of relationship that we know we appreciate each other without having to say "Thank you."
Ceci: There must be some qualities that you admire in your partner?
Minkyung: Eonni has very nice legs. In addition to that is the ability to make people around her happy. I love gathering with my friends. When I go out to meet them, I ask Haeri eonni to go with me because I want my friends to be eonni’s friends too. Those friends who have met eonni, when eonni is not there, praise her a lot. At those times, I felt extremely happy.
Haeri: A lot of people say Minkyung is a gifted girl. She have good leadership, is a very active and positive girl, sometimes too generous that they called her a “cool guy”. She is someone I can rely on and help me look at the world with a positive manner.
Ceci: If there is something you want your partner to improve, what will it be?
Minkyung: I hope eonni works out more often so that she will be healthier. Our concerts require a lot of stamina.
Haeri: Didn’t I start to go to Pilates class yesterday?
Minkyung: Let’s see how many classes you will attend.
Ceci: 7-year is a long journey, what do you think you have achieved?
Minkyung: There was many doubts toward our debut, “Never have a female duo before, can you two survive in the showbiz?”. “Which group is your role model?”, We didn’t know how to answer this question back then, hence we didn’t know how to go the road ahead. But time passed and at some point, the question changed to “Some groups choose you as their role model, how do you feel when you hear that? Davichi is an outstanding duo now.” Those concerned looks in the past have changed, I would like to pad both of us on the shoulder as a sign of relief and also to encourage our effort.
Haeri: I hope we can keep it like we are now, singing next to each other.
Ceci: You are having some contract issues?
Minkyung: Yes, we are. This year Davichi needs a change both inside and outside, therefore it’s a very important period to us.
Haeri: You can look forward to our comeback. You will see us back, more mature and more complete.
