There you have it, ladies and gentlemen! The official fanclub name is Fireflies, too! Even though I'm not a bug person, fireflies are the creatures that give a radiant spark in the darkest night, like stars you can see on the ground, so I think it works. So I'm gonna need you Fireflies to light up and show some love for the lovely ladies of Spark. I now leave you with a special dance video to Little Mix's "Boy" featuring all the girls. Enjoy!

I'm shocked that Yilin has done so much work for SM but has never been an SM trainee but anyways she sang my favorite song from Personal Taste, ahh! And I love her singing voice in Mandarin. I hope EQSOL will have a special promotion in China!
