tripleS Subunit Visionary Vision ‘Hit the Floor’ With Style and Attitude
by Tayah Fox
With a punchy hip-hop track, "Hit the Floor," tripleS's new subunit Visionary Vision has arrived, breaking stereotypes as they demonstrate their resilience.
The 12-member subunit—consisting of HyeRin, YooYeon, Kaede, SoHyun, Lynn, JiYeon, NaKyoung, YuBin, Kotone, YeonJi, Nien and Xinyu—released their debut mini-album Performante on Oct. 23, let by the single "Hit the Floor." This unique K-pop unit stands out from the previous extensions of tripleS due to their focus on dance and performance, as demonstrated in "Hit the Floor"'s striking music video.
The track employs classic hip-hop sounds and styles throughout the music and accompanying visuals. With bejeweled teeth, baggy clothing and sports caps, the girls pay homage to the genre with their stylish flair against various backdrops, enticing viewers with their remarkable dance skills. Sweety High had the opportunity to chat with a few of the Visionary Vision members to get the scoop about their mini-album and their sentiments about the release. Read the interview below.
