note: check the full credits to see other collaborators. bighit's credit system can be complicated (composers and lyricists are grouped together in both komca entries and album credits). i will be updating when the information reach us through the girls or media articles (contact me here for any info). sometimes the girls talk about melodies and lyrics they worked on but didn't make into the final songs as well (e.g. umji for love spell). later i can make an archive for this kind of trivia.
