Original Interview
What if there really is someone who gives us a brand new every day?
Every 24/7 will be pretty much different with Weeekly
We always dream of our daily life to be different. Have you ever had a conversation with your friends about if the same day repeats and if you are trapped in an infinite loop, how boring it would be? It’s such a terrible thing to imagine. So, how happy would we be if there is someone who gives us a brand new every day? My answer is, here’s a group just like that. It is Weeekly who brings a new and special 24/7, every day and week.
Weeekly has its own universe, just like each member’s teaser video. Each member is assigned a day of the week and a symbol planet. ‘DONA,’ the god of creation, is gradually solving questions about the universe of Weeekly through the official fan cafe, which is the story of Weeekly and Daileee who came to Earth. The conversation with the Weeekly members was very tangy. Let’s meet lively Weekly with a high-teen concept!
Q1. Here comes 2021! Please say hello to the fans and the ones who will be into you for the New Year!
Weeekly
It was an unforgettable, happy and precious year, thanks to Daileee’s support. Last year, we only had few opportunities to meet, so we felt sorry for it, but it was our luck to meet Daileee.
Q2. The K-high teen concept was so impressive! I know you guys are 17 years old on average, could you tell me about your school life? What is your favorite subject or snack?
JIHAN
I like my school life! When I was in middle school, there was a history teacher who taught me. I studied hard to be loved by the teacher. I think I like soda the most at the cafeteria.
ZOA
I’m a student who also loves school life, so I participated in a lot of school competitions and presidential elections. I think I spend my school life very actively, studying and playing with my friends.
JAEHEE
I love spending time with my friends and teacher, so I’m working hard on my school life. As I’m majoring in acting, I study practical classes such as acting, ballet, musical, acrobatics, and dancing.

Hello, PRESSREELS readers and subscribers! It’s Weeekly. We’ll do our best to show you how much we’ve grown in 2021, so please keep supporting us! Thank you!
a word from an editor
It was a fun interview. It would be nice to add Weeekly’s music whenever you feel a little depressed these days when the word ‘Covid Blue’ spreads like a trend. On Weekly’s official YouTube channel, they’ll show you new and diverse images with cover videos and ‘Weee:kloud,’ so make sure to meet them! I hope every week of ours is always new. Always stay safe.
