…〔¡ WHAT GENIE? !〕…

✧⇢TALA. What does GeNiE mean?

✧⇢TALA. Ooh, what does genie mean?

✧⇢EMI. We always try to avoid this question because we suck at explaining.

✧⇢YEOREUM. (laughs) So basically our group name stems from the mythical creatures genies and they are known for granting three wishes and basically we are the three wishes but we are also genies for our fans, wishes.

✧⇢YEOREUM. Did that make any sense?

✧⇢TALA. (shakes her head)

✧⇢EMI. Look it up on Wikipedia guys.

✧⇢YEOREUM. Who is GeNiE's visual?

✧⇢EMI. So if you go to kprofiles-

✧⇢YEOREUM. What's that?

✧⇢TALA. A website.

✧⇢YEOREUM. That doesn't give much context though.

✧⇢TALA. Yeoreum-ssi, you are in possession of a phone, right?

✧⇢EMI. Anyways, it says we're all visuals and we are marketed as having three different visuals so yes GeNiE's visual is all of us!
