Were Brave Girls Originally Meant to Perform "Alone" Instead of SISTAR?
On the Sunday, Apr. 18 episode of SBS's "Tiki taCAR," the four-member girl group Brave Girls appeared as guests. There, the girls promoted their 2017 song "Rollin'," which saw a reverse run on the charts this year. The quartet brought smiles on the MCs and the viewer's faces with their exciting performance of the song.
Brave Girls is the girl group of famous music producer, Brave Brothers. Their producer is known for producing countless hits for other K-pop artists, such as 4Minute, After School, AOA, BIGBANG, Hello Venus, SISTAR, and more.
During the show, MC Kyuhyun of Super Junior asked the girls if Brave Brother produced any particular songs that they wish they could have sung instead.
Eunji revealed that there were a lot of songs that they wanted to perform. Minyoung then chimed in, saying, "For me, it is SISTAR's song 'Alone.' Actually, Brave Brothers originally wrote that song for Brave Girls."
Minyoung then clarified that this was before the current four Brave Girls members were part of the group, saying, "Back then, we were not part of Brave Girls yet. He was initially planning to give the song to the first line-up of Brave Girls. However, he ended up not giving the song to them because they were not ready yet."
The girls then flaunted their singing abilities by performing "Alive" live on the spot.
