[THE STRBM DIARIES] When Super Girls Attempting to cover Superhuman

Official_STRBM

Here's the exclusive diary entry from their official mobile app. For those who don't get the joke in the title, Star Beam released "Super Boy" (which was inspired by Super Junior M's Korean version of "Super Girl") last April 2018 (then Superhuman happened last May) that's why I put Super Girls in the title. Trigger warning, many self-depreciation involved here

YEAAAAAH SUPERHUMAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone~~~ How's your day?

We hope that you did well today in your lives (as always)!!!

As you all know, we are so busy for preparing for our concert (& the entire world tour as well) & we want to give our 100% , I mean 1000% for all of you for who will watch to the concert We worked so hard for this and we are almost in the polishing stage where we have to make our routines clean & polished.

Are you curious on how we practice for our promotions? Usually, we start our practice by warming up & running around the practice room while singing to our songs 5 times (but your running pace increased) with 1 minute water break before practicing the entire choreography from 6:00 AM-11:00 PM every Monday since we don't have music shows (unless we are filming variety shows or overseas schedules) but we are pretty flexible in practicing our choreography everyday since we practice in our waiting room. Don't be surprised if Jeonah unnie is very stable since she was a track & field athlete when she was younger.

Today we are practicing NCT 127 sunbaenim's "Superhuman" since it's the most difficult piece to master in the entire set list (promise, it's a very sub par cover). We need to be stable in our singing that's why we start to practice by to running around the stage singing to "Superhuman" for one round (since the song is almost 4 minutes) then we go for a water break & repeat but this time we have to run faster (but please, warm up first before doing this, we're telling you) . Then we proceed to run through the entire set list for the whole day from 5 AM until 10:30 PM so by 11:00 PM, we are already in our dorms to sleep.

We tried our best, please bear with us~~~

But Superhuman is different, we have to give justice to that song so does every other covers in the set list. So you may ask, why we chose "Superhuman" out of NCT 127 sunbaenim's songs & how do we learn that dance, I think that's because, it's close to our music (more on the retro side with modern twists) & we started to learn Superhuman choreography bit by bit thanks to the fancams in Neo City North American tour & their performances in the American TV shows (& of course from the guys themselves when we are in the waiting room of music shows) . At first, that shoulder part is so memorable & catchy then our boss noticed our enthusiasm while trying to attempt "Superhuman" ~~(which is an epic fail, I swear)~~ then she was like, let's add Superhuman in the set list. We idolized NCT 127 sunbaenims too much to the point that we cross paths almost every time BY CHANCE & "Superhuman" was added into the set list. Spoiler, Vocalist XXXXX will go through

We may practice diligently but there are times, we have to let loose like the maknae line pranked Chaehee unnie by exchanging her t-shirt with another shirt not her size and we just laugh since we are so used to that scenarios of the maknaes pranking around. Also we just go to the convenience store and eat. BTW, we have a pact that we will not drink alcohol until the D-Day in Seoul.

So what about the Golden Child Dream Concert mashup? Yes it's difficult but the difference is we will just cover some snippets of the choreographies of Boss, Never Ever, Call Me Baby, Boom Boom, & Blood Sweat and Tears. It's not our first time to cover these sunbaenims (EXO, SVT, BTS, GOT7 & NCT U) actually. Golden Child's Dream Concert mashup performance is so cool, am I right?

So we hope that you will appreciate our efforts for our concert. Have a nice day, Annyeong!!!

LOVE
