Soyeon Says (G)I-DLE Members Eat Lollipops Before "TOMBOY" Performances - Here's Why
On May 4, (G)I-DLE Soyeon appeared as a guest in the latest episode of the MBC variety show "Radio Star," along with PSY, Lee Seung Yoon, and Sung Si Kyung.
During the talk, Soyeon brought up an interesting fact about their preparation prior to their "TOMBOY" performance on any music show.
She pointed out that the choreography for the song includes sticking out their tongues. In order to let their tongues stand out, the members always coat their tongues with bright red candy while backstage.

Jeon Soyeon said, "Our choreography involves sticking our tongues out, but because the stage lighting is so bright and white, our tongues always turn out to be white on camera, even after carefully using a tongue cleaner beforehand."
She then revealed that the (G)I-DLE members always eat lollipops 10 minutes before going on stage, so in that way, their tongues would look red on camera.
"We always use lollipops that stain our mouths bright red, and we dye our tongues with it as if we're brushing our teeth," the rapper shared.

(G)I-DLE Soyeon went on to say that the stain gives them confidence when performing "TOMBOY" on music shows.
She later revealed that there are times when she forgets to stain her tongue with a lollipop before their performance. As a result, she would only stick out her tongue a little and bite it.
In addition to eating lollipops, Jeon Soyeon also told another story about "TOMBOY" during the recent episode of "Radio Star."
She revealed that she let PSY listen to the demo of the song before the staff at the company.

"TOMBOY" is the title song of (G)I-DLE's first studio album "I NEVER DIE," which was released this past March.
