Hepsi 1

Hepsi 1 was a Turkish soap which aired once a week on ATV, originally on Show TV. The soap shows the girls as pre-famous and how they became famous. The characters of themselves are over the top, however the show has some truth about the girls, such as their likes and dislikes.
Season one attracted many views with an average of 3.2 million viewers a week. Season two had an average of 2.5 million to 6 million viewers a week.
The last episode of the season 2 has aired on 3 June 2008. Although it was said by ATV that season 2 was going to be the last season, it has been confirmed by ATV that a season 3 for Hepsi1 will be made.
It did seem quite a hard decision to be made by ATV because of the number of viewers changing every week from approximately 6 million viewers per week to 2.5 million viewers. However, because of a high number of requests to ATV and the number of viewers being quite high, ATV has confirmed that there will be a Season 3 made. Although it was confirmed it may have a long delay because of the group's promotion of their new album and also the recording of their movie.

Pepsi sponsorship

In summer 2006 they starred in the Turkish Pepsi commercials, advertising the Pepsi Power Club music download site (the first legal music download site in Turkey). There are two adverts, one of which shows what Hepsi were like as they were growing up, starting from when they were children.

Winx Club

Alongside Ebru Yazici, they sung in the Turkish dub of Winx Club, in the movies and the Winx in Concert album.

Stationery

The group have released their own stationery and school equipment line.

2008–2009: Group hiatus
