"Because of the hype, it's been a burden. We have had to practice harder," Chanmi said. The the leader, Soomi had added, "SM gets you five years of training time, and yet, some people aren't able to radiate a good enough stage presence. Honestly, powerful Chanmi fits Co.ed's code the best," she said with praises.

In October, Co.ed will experience a transformation with a totally new style and mini album.
