Jae Kyung- How did you feel about your debut performance on Music Core?
"Music Core almost didn't air because of the baseball game that was being broadcasted live before the show. Thankfully the game ended in good time and we were able to perform. I was happy to perform on such a beautiful stage. I felt more excitement than nervousness because we finally got to go on stage after 4 years of preparations."
- What did you learn from becoming an artist?
"At first it just looked all glamorous, but in reality it was a continuous wait. So much time goes into sweating for preparations for the stage. You have to train really hard for the 3 minutes of fame."
- Your group trained for a longer period than Kara. Did you feel any jealousy?
"I wanted Kara to do well since we're a part of one family. I also wanted to get on stage just like them."
- There are a lot of girl groups out there. What makes Rainbow unique?
"Humanism. We put teamwork before anything else and our motto is 'Let’s be able to smile at one another even after a decade has passed'. Group members are stuck together 24/7 and troubles do arise, but we want to show ourselves as one. We made a vow that we will be as one on stage as well."
- Who do you view as your rival?
"We come across f(x) a lot in TV stations. We also look up to SNSD. We will work hard to become better than them one day."

"I like the fact that I get opportunities to be on stage. I dreamed of becoming an artist ever since I was in middle school because I loved being on stage so much. I love the fact that the fans sing along and I love the fact that this is my job."
- What is your goal?
"Being on top would be nice but my goal in life is to be happy. My goal as a singer is to have people feel better when they see us, as if they've spotted a real rainbow."
- Anything you want to do in the future?
"There are just so many things I want to try. Become a radio DJ, be in a rock band and appear on a variety show... I want to try everything I can.

"My parents couldn't believe it even on the day of the debut. I couldn't believe it either. I was really nervous but once on the stage it was enjoyable.

Ji Sook- How did you feel about your debut performance?
"We debuted later than we planned to. At first I was really excited and as time went by I had to get a hold of myself. Thanks to the delay I was able to perform in a more stable condition. Friends called me after they saw an article about me, and it felt good because they always asked me when I was going to debut and I had nothing to tell them. I felt a bit nervous because my parents were watching but I think I enjoyed it."
