"I'll Smile, Even if it Hurts" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Ladies' Code. It is the group's first release following the deaths of members EunB and RiSe in September 2014.

History

[edit]

On September 1, 2014, Ladies' Code announced that they were preparing for a comeback. Two days later, however, the group was involved in a traffic collision that killed members EunB and RiSe.[1] Almost a year later, Ladies' Code held a memorial concert in RiSe's home town of Tokyo, where they performed "I'll Smile, Even if it Hurts," for the first time.[2] On the anniversary of RiSe's death, the song was released as a digital single.[3]

Reception

During the week of its release, the song charted #18 on the Gaon Music Chart.[4]
