Weeekly Zoa said, "Since 'Ven para' has such intense choreography, we would practice after eating a hearty meal. But, all the members had a difficult time because the dance moves were so powerful." She continued that they would eat less or sleep after practice.
Weeekly Soojin then shared that while learning the steps, her practice clothes were torn apart around two times because the choreography "was so intense."
"I was shocked because this was the first time this had happened. But, since it's also proof that I worked very hard, I felt proud," she added.

Unlike the dance moves for their previous songs which were fun and easy, "Ven para" choreography is much more extreme as they have undergone a bold transformation for this comeback.
In relation to this, Weeekly Soojin commented, "We worked hard to show an image that was 180 degrees different from the past bubbly and youthful images we've showcased. Please anticipate our bold and unstoppable image."
Jaehee added that the group wanted to portray a different side to themselves and hope that they receive responses like "Weeekly adapts well to these kinds of concepts, too."
Meanwhile, Weeekly will only promote as a six-piece group for this comeback as member Jiyoon is taking a break due to health issues, particularly anxiety.
