Rumors of discord, withdrawal, dissolution, and reunification.

Female vocal group See Ya has returned to the music industry after a 15-year hiatus.

Cya (Nam Gyu-ri, Kim Yeon-ji, Lee Bo-ram) recently conducted a round interview to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their debut at a cafe in Jamsil Lotte World Tower in Songpa-gu, Seoul.

Previously, Cya made her debut in March 2006 with the release of her first full-length album, The First Mind. Cya, who heated up the K-pop market at the same time as her debut with the title song "Scent of a Woman," has since established an irreplaceable position by placing all songs at the top of music charts and music broadcasts, including "Love Greetings," "Goo," "Crazy Love Song," and "His Voice."

However, following Nam Gyu-ri's withdrawal in April 2009, in January 2011, Cya suddenly declared its dissolution, and in 2020, he appeared as a whole in JTBC's entertainment show "To You Project - Sugar Man 3" for the first time in a long time, raising expectations for a reunion. In fact, the reunion was promoted starting with "Sugar Man 3", but the reunion plan was canceled because they were active in different agencies. In particular, there were rumors of discord among fans over Nam Gyu-ri's withdrawal from the team before the sudden disbandment.

He announced the reunion on the 20th anniversary of his debut, leaving behind various rumors and suspicions that have not been confirmed. On this day, Nam Gyu-ri revealed the decisive moment of the reunion that he decided to regroup as a leader.

Nam Gyu-ri said, "Since last year, we have received a lot of suggestions to reunite with the Sea, but the members' companies were all different, so we could not face physical and practical problems. Then, I went to the event for the first time in a long time, and the event asked me to sing "see you." I've never sung a song by myself. I was looking for an MR, but it didn't work, so I contacted Boram at 12 p.m. the night before the event, like calling a friend I met yesterday, and he gladly said, "I'll lend you an MR" in a bright voice. Afterwards, do well at the event and say 'thank you' in the car. I texted him, 'Let's have a meal soon,' and he sent me a possible date right away. It was a pleasant answer. As I met Boram and talked about this and that through such an accident, there were many misunderstandings that we didn't know about in the process of reuniting after "Sugar Man 3." While talking a lot, he explained, "They weren't problems that we couldn't reunite," and "we understood each other and the misunderstanding was resolved."

Nam Gyu-ri, who met Lee Bo-ram first and resolved the misunderstanding that had not been resolved for five years, also met Kim Yeon-ji separately and had a deep conversation. Looking back on what has happened since then, all three members have now met and pushed for a reunion in earnest over the fact that it was greatly inflated and misunderstood even though it was not a big deal.

Nam Gyu-ri said, "We had a time to get together and talk, and when I asked 'Why don't we do it together', everyone willingly said 'I really want to do it for the fans' and it became so easy to talk like water, so we got to reunite dramatically."

Kim Yeon-ji, who heard this, also said, "In fact, we all felt the same way, but there were misunderstandings in the middle. Now that it's all solved, it's been easily united. As a result, the story of the 20th anniversary has progressed quickly since then. It was very overwhelming and I feel much more grateful for the love than I thought," he said.

The common part of the driving force behind the reunion that Seeya says is "misunderstanding." Of course, the public has noticed a number of misunderstandings surrounding Seeya without even realizing it, but it has never been clearly revealed on the surface.

In this regard, Nam Gyu-ri specifically opened up about the misunderstandings so far. He said, "The process of making the field of view is not as long as I thought. Boram and Yeonji were practicing for about two months first, and I was put in two weeks and debuted in a month. We made our debut without having any time to build solidarity or harmony. Nevertheless, it went well as soon as we debuted. It was the result of sleeping and waking up. As we worked without knowing each other well, we had a lot of misunderstandings that were not a big deal when we took them out," he recalled of the past.

Nam Gyu-ri then said, "The biggest reason why the reunion was canceled during 'Sugar Man 3' was because the company was different. I was acting, and the two members were also affiliated with another company, so the misunderstanding arose as it proceeded without a proper contract. So this time, the creation of the Cya corporation was to prevent this from happening anymore," he explained the rumors of discord.

I also recalled the entertainment industry in the past, when the atmosphere was quite different from now. One of the reasons why Cya was so popular, especially with female fans, upon its debut was its subjective lyrics. From a woman's point of view, she formed a consensus by independently singing various emotions such as love and separation. However, Siya, who sings the song, had to be very passive.

Nam Gyu-ri said, "At that time, the lyrics of Seeya were subjective, but our activities could not be subjective. There were many times when interview articles were published that were different from our opinions. It was a time when commercially made and planned groups were active, but I think the image of Seeya fits well with it, so I think I received a lot of love," he said.

He continued, "At the time, I was busy digesting giving rather than being subjective. It was a time when I was young, didn't know the world well, and I only saw the world as pure and beautiful. So I sometimes thought, 'What if Sea had a long unknown period?' It is regrettable that if we had debuted when we had any insight to experience and determine whether this was right or not, the three of us would have been more wise in the direction of our activities. But now, as I get older and have more years of experience, I have become self-reliant. In addition, it seems that it became the basis for establishing a corporation together and being able to do it together. It was a coincidence, but it was never a coincidence.." he confessed.

Last month, Cya said that after a 15-year hiatus, the recording site she visited to work on her new album was a sea of tears. At the time, Sea said, "After 15 years, the three members standing in front of the microphone were unable to control their overwhelming emotions whenever they reached the chorus, and the recording was stopped several times. "I recorded it again and again despite the constant tears in my throat, and I expressed my heart," he said.

In this regard, Nam Gyu-ri said of the on-site atmosphere that poured out tears, "I think memories of the past and novelty coexisted. Earlier, the three members answered that it was like a dream to get together like this, but I don't know if I can say this, but I vaguely thought that Seiya would meet at least once, regardless of the relationship or situation. Because I thought there were still things left that I couldn't show to the public. So, there was a process of not being able to reunite, but after living vaguely thinking about it all the time, I was in a recording studio like this, but I couldn't even think about reality and dreams. It was a feeling that I couldn't realize the reality. Is this real? "Isn't it?" I recalled, "I was moved with these things."

Nam Gyu-ri then said, "When I was young, there was Boram and Yeonji in the recording studio for the first time, and I went to sing the title song as an audition song, and that reminded me of that time. Two women, who sang well or didn't know their name or age, were sitting and singing, and I thought to myself, "They're really good at singing." I think it was very overwhelming to think that we met like that and received a lot of love and that we were finally gathered like this after all these tremendous times. I was so thankful to the members who were with me. So it was so touching. Everyone was moved to tears. I think it was the importance of each other's sorry, touching, and reuniting," he said.

As it's been a long time since they reunited, what's on the bucket list that Cya wants to achieve. Nam Gyu-ri said, "The biggest thing is to show many people that we have been together for a long time, as we reunited on the 20th anniversary, rather than the greed right now. It would be great if we could do it together or individually, and as time passes, we could do it together and do it alone, and repeat these times. It may be the biggest greed. In order to do that, shouldn't we impress the public with good songs and activities from the moment we reunited. Rather than listening to good songs for a while, I have a desire to remain a good song and a masterpiece that can be loved by many people for a long time, such as the music that Cya first performed.

Lee Bo-ram said, "Just as the public remembered us and sang our parts in karaoke, I want to try to top the karaoke chart this time," and Kim Yeon-ji said, "If we perform, our song is so loved that I want to feel the impression that everyone sings together when we pass the microphone." When we first received so much love, we were also surprised to go to the venue and were moved because they sang all the "Crazy Love Songs" in a group. As that memory came back to mind, he said, "This is C-YG," and wished that it would be remembered as "C-YA is music that can be loved and that's how good it was."

Cya's new song "Nevertheless We" was released on various online music sites at 6 p.m. on the 30th of last month. After that, he will release a full-length album in May and begin his activities in earnest.
