Since making their debut on January 4th earlier this year, the ladies of Dal Shabet have been running without rest. But it’s finally resulted in a payoff, as it seems their constant appearances on TV have managed to turn their antis into fans.
Sports World got to go and spend a day with the girls on the busiest day of their week to find out just how busy these girls really are.
They explained, “Sometimes we’ll have five schedules lined up at most, and at the least, two, in one day. Are we tired? No, we’re glad. We’re always thankful that we can be busy. Aside from music programs and such, we also go on radio programs and events in other districts. Fortunately, on days like today where we only have a broadcast instead of an event, we can sleep in about an hour or two more because we don’t have to go to the salon. Still, the members sleep in the car as much as they can.”
The girls would normally head to the hair salon at 7 AM, but because they can just get their hair and make-up done in their waiting room at the music show, the girls can skip it today. Their schedules end at 11 PM, but their day doesn’t end there; these disciplined girls then take out their iPads or cameras and monitor their performances to catch any mistakes that need fixing.
After rehearsing in their training room, they reach their dorm at 2 AM and fall asleep by 3:30 AM. After sleeping for two to three hours, the cycle repeats itself since they must wake at 6 AM to get to the salon on time.
The girls said, “We have no choice but to always take vitamins and other health products. We make sure to eat ’samgyetang’ during the hottest days of the summer, and our fans also give us health foods.”
Speaking on their anti fans, Dal Shabet said, “In the beginning of our debut, we had about 10,000, but now it’s gone down to about 3,000. They’ve realized who we really are and thankfully like us now.”
The girls recently made their return with “Bling Bling“, their third release this year. Riding on the retro wave, the girls added their own twist with a ‘new Disco’ sound.
“We’ve been running without rest since January. Sometimes we’ll have extra time once a month, but we use it to order food in our dorm and watch movies. We don’t want to rest yet, but we do miss our parents. Still, we’re all working to collect our own color.”
Although they’re only eight months into their career, their mindset is as strong as any veteran. Right after getting off ‘Music Bank‘, the girls eat dinner and go straight back into rehearsals.
“We’ve only been sleeping for two hours a night since two weeks ago. After starting our broadcast promotions, we’ve been able to sleep an hour or two more. When we’re not satisfied with our performance or our voice cracks during camera rehearsals, our feelings drop really fast. We still try to smile for the fans that come.”
