New girl group Weeekly introduces Jihan in goofy children's show parody 'A Message from Mars'

Play M's new girl group Weeekly just revealed their sevenmembers who will eventually debut sometime in May. However,they are also going to be releasing individual teaser videos for [The Weeekly Story]. This segment starts off with the first teaser titled 'A MESSAGE TO MARS : JIHAN.'

In the video, Jihan acts silly as if parodying old children's shows. The clip references multiple decades by using classic TV tropes similar to silent films, Disney shorts, The Brady Bunch, Looney Tunes and more. Some fans say every member will represent a different planet. Also, future videos may even focus on other kinds of popular genres and tropes from back in the day. 

This concept seems very interesting as they are not making references to just one decade, show or aspect of children's TV, but they are mixing so much of it that it is hard to tell exactly what genre it is. Because of this, it will be really exciting to see what they will do for the rest of the introductions, and it also makes you wonder if they will incorporate this into the official group concept. 

Does this make you excited for the new group?
