Rookie girl group HYOLISOO (효리수) made their official debut on MBC's "Show! Music Core" on May 5, performing "Lowkey In Love," a track from their digital single "Skibidi."
However, what garnered significant attention surrounding HYOLISOO's debut were the "outrageous demands" they reportedly made to "Music Core" producers prior to their performance.
Earlier, HYOLISOO met with "Music Core" producers and presented a list of requests, including the use of three helicopters for filming, a skydiving scene, and a 30-minute special stage arrangement for either the opening or closing segment of the show.
Surprisingly, "Music Core" did not accept all of HYOLISOO's demands. Instead, the production team made their own requests, asking the group to demonstrate a "rookie attitude" and showcase a "fifth-generation feel."
On the day of their official debut, none of HYOLISOO's grand requests — the three helicopters, skydiving shoot, or the 30-minute opening or closing special stage — materialized. Nearly all of their "luxurious demands" were reportedly rejected.
Nevertheless, HYOLISOO did perform on stage with a rookie demeanor, as requested by "Music Core," and showcased the energy and charm fitting for a "fifth-generation" group. Their debut was considered successful, raising anticipation for their future activities.
