Behind the Scenes of H.O.W's First Full-Length Album Promotions: From Tense Fan Meetings to Music Show Stages

The group H.O.W met with fans through a behind-the-scenes video capturing the diverse moments of their first full-length album promotions. The released footage, centered around member LIRI's camera, showcases various aspects of their activities, from music show waiting rooms and stage rehearsals to their very first fan meeting.

"I Will Love Myself": Choreography Highlights and Stage Prep

The members showed a mix of nervousness and intense focus as they prepared for their music show performances. In the video, LIRI highlighted the "patting" motion during the chorus as the key point of this comeback's choreography. The move is designed to represent self-comfort, following the lyrics "I will love myself." LIRI demonstrated her dedication to the stage, mentioning that she practiced this specific move for several months.

Small episodes from the stage preparation process were also revealed. Jihyun was caught using a personal fan due to her sensitivity to heat, while Ain lightened the mood in the waiting room by using a Tamagotchi as a prop. Additionally, LIRI shared glimpses of her daily life, including practicing the "Pretty Girl" choreography for challenges and preparing a large case to keep her belongings organized.

The Excitement of the First Fan Meeting and Regrets on Stage

The video also captured the scene of their first fan meeting held during their first album promotions. The members shared their feelings about meeting fans after a long time, noting that simply seeing their faces gave them strength. Reflecting on their first fan meeting, they reacted by saying, "It was a bit nerve-wracking, but so much fun." LIRI communicated with fans by performing the choreography highlights alongside her members at the event.

On the music show stages, passion for perfect performances was met with slight regrets. After her second stage, Chae-i expressed minor dissatisfaction with the stage direction, noting subtle differences in eye contact during the "tick-tock" part. In the subsequent practice sessions, the members were seen refining their performances by checking each other's facial expressions and dance moves.

Chaotic Waiting Room Scenes and the Bittersweet Final Broadcast

Daily life in the waiting room revealed the members' human sides. Jihyun created a humorous moment, eating food provided by Ryuin and remarking, "I can't eat without rice." The members also showed their closeness by calling each other by nicknames like "Pandas" or "Cats."

At the scene of their final broadcast, marking the end of their promotions, the members expressed their sadness, saying, "I can't believe it's already the last broadcast." The video fully captures the tension, excitement, and the process of encouraging one another that lies behind their glamorous stage personas.
