ME:I will be on the cover and interviewed in the April issue of "CUT" magazine.




The issue features 11 solo interviews with ME:I members and a special feature that captures the "now" of the group just prior to their debut. It will be on sale on March 19th.

ME:I, who won the first girls' edition of "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN THE GIRLS," Japan's largest survival audition program, and made their debut, will make their first appearance in CUT and grace the cover for the first time.
Through solo interviews with each of the 11 girls, we took the time to unravel their personalities and their thoughts on stepping out to become "idols of the future." The book will be 30 pages in length, including an exclusive photo session!

Don't miss this major feature that captures the "pre-dawn" moment of a new generation of girl groups. It is currently being produced with great energy and enthusiasm! The April issue of CUT will be on sale on March 19th. Please look forward to it!

Since ME:I is getting interviewed by a magazine from the same group that owns JAPAN JAM or ROCK IN JAPAN Festival, they could possibly perform at one of those in the future.

After returning to Japan for some time off, lots of recordings (according to their FC blogs), and lots of magazine shoots, ME:I has returned to Korea today.

Paparazzi spotted them arriving at the airport in Korea. Momona is wearing a beige jacket and glasses.

Not to be a Debbie Downer but they are pretty loose with the term "Main Artist" There are 5 Main Artist shown plus "and more". 5 "Opening act" plus "and more". Considering it's a fashion show and not a concert, with all these artists, we might get 2 songs, most likely 1.

However March 2nd is when we learn if they are a lip-syncing group or not.
