It’s the first time us 3 from Guilty Kiss have had a photoshoot outside, and for it to be an amusement park, I’m not sure whether that fits our image or not (lol). But this will probably be a fresh atmosphere from Guilty Kiss for our fans.
We were able to do our photoshoot in a peaceful atmosphere so it was super fun!
I haven’t really gone out with the other members to amusement parks so this was a great experience.
100. Finally, a word for your fans!
Thank you for always supporting us.
I’m really happy that we as Guilty Kiss were able to appear like this on a magazine for everyone to see.
It would be great if we could showcase Guilty Kiss’s worldview to everyone like this again someday.
