K-Pop girl group UNIS geared up for a ‘Swicy' comeback
K-Pop girl group UNIS is another up-and-coming group in the Korean music industry. The group, formed after a rigorous and hard competition/survival show, features members Hyeonju, Nana, Gehlee, Kotoko, Yunha, Elisia, Yoona, and Seowon. Second EP, 'Swicy' The group made a powerful comeback with their new second EP titled 'Swicy' that features a sweet and spicy tone. The group has shared that with this EP they wish to showcase a completely different side to the public. The girls want to come back with a bang and have a 'do it all' energy for this comeback. The EP features 5 tracks in total, namely, 'From a Seed Called 'Hey, What's Up'?,' 'DDANG!,' 'Good Feeling,' and 'Spring Rain,' along with the title track 'SWICY.' The concept of 'Swicy' In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, the group shared more about the comeback, their hopes for the future, and more plans. When talking about the concept of this comeback, member Hyeonju shared that the concept combines 'sweet' and 'spicy' together. She shared that 'SWICY is a new word that combines SWEET and SPICY. I think it would be a bit boring to only show one thing—sweet or spicy—and we wanted to show both the spicy and sweet charms that are unique to UNIS.' Good Feelings and Key Rings One of the featured tracks in the EP makes reference to 'key ring,' which has become a popular fad amongst Gen Z currently. The group was then asked about what their favorite keychains are. All of the members shared that they prefer cute keychains, such as cat and dog keychains, My Melody keychains, anime keychains, etc. Elisa's answer, though, melted hearts as she shared that her favorite keychain was a name tag key ring the members of the group had made for one another during their debut. Trying new things this comeback In the same interview, the members also talked about what is different about this comeback. When asked if they are sticking to their known strengths this comeback or if they're opting for something new, the members have detailed answers for what all they were incorporating this comeback. Gehlee and Elisa emphasized how much they practiced this comeback. With new and hard choreographies, the members shared how they are challenging themselves by trying new genres and moves. Yoona and Hyeonju majorly focused on their looks and their vocals, with the latter sharing that this comeback she managed to try out short hair and also worked on improving her ad-libs. Yoona, on the other hand, showed her excitement, sharing that 'I wanted to show my individuality more clearly! I thought that SWICY really suited me so well that I focused on facial expressions that matched the mood of the song!' Hopes and dreams for the future When asked about what all they wish to achieve this year with this comeback, all the members enthusiastically replied that they wish to win the 1st position during music show promotions. Gehlee also sweetly added that they wish for more opportunities where the group gets to show their side to the public more.

The group debuted on March 27, 2024, and so far before this comeback had released 1 single and 1 EP.
