K-pop girl group Miss A's Suzy acknowledged she is dating hallyu star Lee Min-ho at the group's comeback showcase in Olympic Park, Seoul, Monday.
"I found him very considerate and warm-hearted," Suzy said. "I will maintain a good relationship while working on the new album."
News about the K-pop star and the hottest Korean actor in China broke on March 23 when the couple were seen dating in London, hiding their faces with mask and muffler.
Suzy admitted that she met Lee there because they had overlapping photo-shooting schedules. The couple went on a rather routine date ― driving around and dining.
Suzy asked that attention not be focused on her relationship, but rather on Miss A's new album.
Miss A released its first single in 17 months, "Only You," and the song immediately topped the online music charts.
Popular songwriter Black Eyed Pilseung produced the lead single, a hip hop song with trap rhythm that tells the story of a girl's passionate love for her crush. As for the other six tracks, Suzy and another member, Min, wrote lyrics for "I Caught Ya" and "Stuck."
"It was my first time composing and I enjoyed it," Suzy said. "The lyrics are mostly about the feelings I get while I write in my diary.
"I usually ask my friends and family for opinions on our new album. They told me the songs were easy to sing along to, which they liked a lot."
The album's title, "Colors," is an apparent reference to a change to the idol group's bright pink costumes from their once-favorite dark stage outfits.
"We have worn many dark dresses until now," said the group's Chinese member, Fei. "We've kept our concept sexy, and ‘Bad Girl Good Girl' is the epitome. This time, we are emphasizing a lovely charm and cuteness, like a typical girl band, which all the group members wanted."
It has been five years since Miss A debuted in 2010, and group members said they were starting to understand more of what they are doing.
Miss A revealed they have no plans go overseas for a while as they want to focus on Korea.
"We try to communicate with our fans abroad through (social networking)," said Zia, another Chinese member. "It took us a long time to come back, and if you could wait just little more, we will visit you soon."
