These covers would catch the attention of UP-FRONT PROMOTION, resulting in her getting recruited to be added to ANGERME, a group within Hello! Project. She would take on the stage name "Ai" during her time in ANGERME. She would graduate from the group in 2018 after being with the group for four years.

Isla would then go under a "rebrand" and debut in the rotational K-pop group GIRLGARDEN28 in 2019 under the stage name "Love" and quickly become a fan favorite. However, her addition to GG28 wouldn't last long as she would graduate in 2020, and her contract with Flowerbank would be dissolved.

honeylemon sent ( 6̲ ) new voice messages!

[andsour]

i am currently obsessed with honeylemon. i love the members, the group name, the discography, the lightstick, the lore with seventh heaven, everything. also the fcs fit so well with the concept, everything is perfect.

so i was wondering... how did you create them like what was the processus / from what did you start to male honeylemon?

first of all , thank you soooooo much!!!!! you're literally too kind !!

i knew going in that i wanted to make a cute and like trendy fourth gen gg w six members specifically , but settling on their group name was my real starting point , bc i would constantly change things like their lineup , name , discography , and overall concept before that. i still altered things afterward , ofc , but the name honeylemon really solidified the image i had for them in my mind , so it was less me just being indecisive and more bc certain details actually didn't fit , if that makes sense!

[andsour]

i love hnlm so much and their discography is top tier. can i ask you what are the members voiceclaims?

ty and yeah ofc !!

joori is voiced by oh haewon ( ex. )

meilin is voiced by kim hyungseo aka bibi ( ex. )

anna is voiced by amy lee aka ailee ( ex. )

ryuhyun is voiced by kim seoyeon ( ex. )

ej is voiced by an yujin ( ex. )

kenzie is voiced by beatrice laus aka beabadoobee ( ex. )

[andsour]

can i ask you which words did you use to generate your lightsticks because i'm obsessed and i think they are the cutest ever!!!

i don't remember what i said exactly , but i do know that i used key–words like "dome type lightstick" , "white handle" , "heart–shaped button" , "glowing lemon" etc. and i think those details ultimately impacted the results the most. and thank you so much !! 💖💖

🍋 ୧ . ִֶָ honeylemon's lightstick , ⠀ׂ 𖹭⠀࣭ ! the matnabong ( trans. "yummybong" ) is the official lightstick of honeylemon. the lightstick is one of the group's best–selling pieces of merchandise , selling out online and flying off shelves in stores and concert venues.

ib : venusvity !!

released in january of 2021 , the matnabong ver. 1 was an instant hit among fans. many thought it to be simple but pretty , and that it captured the essence of the group very well. it features a heart–shaped lemon , encased by a clear , pink plastic dome , as well as a white base and handle with a single pink button. when connected to the matnabong mobile app , it can glow a number of different colors , but its default is yellow. paired with the pink of the dome , at honeylemon's concerts , it creates the group's signature strawberry lemonade ocean.

What do the girls think of Chaewon? 🤔

"don't get me wrong , we appreciate her ," joori begins. "she's really smart , obviously. she has a whole master's degree in visual design and , i mean , we're not a top girl group for no reason , she definitely knows what she's doing , but—"

"she's a massive cunt ," ej interrupts.

"yeah..." joori agrees. "she can be very patronizing , at times."

"like one time , she called a song joori wrote with her boyfriend 'dogshit' and refused to put it on our album ," ej snickers as the older girl rolls her eyes and huffs. "but , like joo said , we do owe part of our success to her. we all just bite our tongues and let her do her thing."

"i just wish she'd have a little more faith in us , is all ," joori concludes , with a nod.
