VIVIZ Umji Shares Difference Between 'BOP BOP!' MV Filming and Shooting GFRIEND MVs
In the afternoon of Feb. 9, former GFRIEND members Umji, SinB and Eunha held an online media showcase to commemorate their highly-awaited debut as the three-member group VIVIZ later this day.
The name "VIVIZ" represents the endings of the girls' names. Since SinB and Eunha have the same name: Eunbi, the two VI's come from them. Meanwhile, the "Z" comes from Umji - the "ji" is pronounced similar to "z" in South Korea.

Besides this, VIVIZ is also short for "VIVID dayZ" (vivid days). The group's management agency Big Planet Made explained that the group name represents the members' promise to always be true to their colors.
During the online media showcase, VIVIZ Eunha mentioned the group name. She shared that she found it a little strange the first time she heard it. But, she gradually started to like it.
The title song of VIVIZ's mini-album "Beam of Prism," was also discussed during the showcase. Eunha said that VIVIZ's "BOP BOP!" is a song where listeners can feel the members' bright energy.

In addition to what Eunha said, VIVIZ SinB shared that they thought a lot about what color to show through "Beam of Prism," especially now that they are a trio. She continued that upon hearing "BOP BOP!" she quickly liked it to become their debut song.
Meanwhile, Umji tackled the filming of VIVIZ's "BOP BOP!" MV and compared it to the time they were shooting a GFRIEND MV. She said that now that they only have three members, they didn't have free time to take a nap while waiting for their turn to shoot their part.

Meanwhile, VIVIZ's "BOP BOP!" MV will be released later this day at 6 p.m. KST alongside the group's mini-album "Beam of Prism."
