Rookie Group Tint “We want to be a girl group with no limits” [Interview]

For females, Tint is naturally a lip makeup product used to apply color to one’s lips. Just like [lip] tint, these 5 girls have appeared with the intention of painting the music industry with their own individual color. Tint is a 5 member girl group.

“There is no set main vocal between the 5 of us. All of our members are able to rap and sing.”

Tint prepared for 2 years for their debut. They are currently in the midst of promoting their debut song “Love at First Sight”. It’s a song that expresses the image of a girl who has fallen in love at first sight. The atmosphere of the song fits well with their ‘Cute & Healthy’ concept, bringing forth a lovely stage.

The members are between ages 17 and 19, and there is a famililar face amongst them. The group consists of Lee Mirim who made it to the Top 8 on last year’s SBS audition program, K-Pop Star. “Making it to the Top 10 was a miracle in itself. During the time I participated on the show, I did my best. I don’t really have any regrets. Failure is just another opportunity, and for me, that was Tint.”

Another member of the group possesses excellent Chinese skills. That member is leader, Mei. Born to a Chinese father and Korean Mother, she lived in China until she was 15 and finally came to Korea to become a singer. “I can speak Chinese as well as a native speaker. My parents wished for me to study, but for me, more than any other kind of work, I have interest and the confidence to do well in [singing], so this is what I chose.”

Maknae Minnie’s off topic comment, “If there is ever an opportunity someday, I want to meet Yoo Jae Suk sunbaenim. Being amongst these unnies who have many things they are good at, there are a lot of times when I lose confidence. I’d like some advice from him on what to do at those times. (laugh)”

Lee Sangmi and Jamie spoke about whom they admire in terms of vocals. They both pointed out Ok Joo Hyun of Finkl and Sistar’s Hyorin as role models whose singing talent they’d like to emulate.

Tint are a group who have just started out and are overflowing with energy. When asked the question of what kind of group they’d like to be they said, “We want to be a group with no limits. No matter the group, they will work hard. Working hard is just the basics. We want to be a group that does well and has fun on stage.”
