The teaser video, “POST CREDIT SCENE : GIRL HERO,” cleverly draws on the post-credits scenes typical of superhero films, transforming the six members into heroes packed with personality. Their appearances all take place in familiar everyday Seoul spots: from Cheongdam Park, Myeongdong Culture Park, and Seoul Children’s Grand Park, to Ttukseom Hangang Park, Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, and Gwanghwamun. Navigating these relatable spaces, the members carry out mysterious tasks that feel both ridiculous and cute. While the exact plot remains a mystery, bringing superheroes straight to the local streets makes the concept feel that much closer and full of surprises.
