[news] U-KISS "Worried That Seniors Might Think That We Are Rude. Variety Programs are Hard~"


"We're afraid that the seniors will look at us as rude"

U-KISS made a comeback into the music industry with full charisma, with their title song 'Bingeul Bingeul'. Right after that, they became hot stuff, appearing in radio program, music program, variety programs ect.

They are witty and don't mind appearing with their body gags through variety programs just like what gag men & gag women do, so it's not impossible for them to survive in the world of variety programs.

U-KISS' Soohyun, who has started to gain attention from variety programs, was asked about the difficulties he had while doing variety programs He told TVDaily during the interview "I'm a member of God Of Cookery Expedition right now, and it's hard when I have to keep eating while my stomach is already full."

Soohyun revealed "We have to visit 2 restaurants in order to film for 1 episode. We shoot 2 episodes in one day so we have a total of 4 places to visit and eat. Really, I have to keep telling myself that do not listen to my stomach even though I'm full already."

Then Kibum told his story "It's a bit hard when filming the variety programs with the seniors. Because there are lots of laughter and informal talks in variety programs, so it's unavoidable that the seniors might be offended by that. I worry that such actions might seems rude to them so I apologize to them a lot during the recording."

Foreign member Alexander, too, whose Korean is still rusty, agreed with the subject.

He shared his unfortunate experiences "Eli and I aren't fluent in Korean yet, so we tend to miss lots of timing to talk in variety programs. There are lots of things that I want to say but the words won't come out of my mouth, or are not well presented."

ukiss will be happy if we were busier and more tired




7 member group, U-Kiss (Alexander, Soohyun, Kevin, Kibum, Eli, Dongho, Kiseop), who caused a craze with the 'Gangnam Dance' through 'Man Man Ha Ni'. These boys are back as men with stronger, more mature looks and intense charisma.

The U-Kiss members have shown off the talents in various programs, through music, variety, radio etc. The members are tired with their busy schedules but "we will be happy if we were busier and more tired", they revealed, laughing.

Popularity from 'Man Man Ha Ni' to 'Bingeul Bingeul'? It's still lacking!

U-Kiss, who received a lot of attention for the strong man dance in 'Man Man Ha Ni' as well as outstanding performances in variety programs during the 2nd half of 2009, is back this time with electronic hip-hop song, 'Bingeul Bingeul'. It has enthralled the fans with its addictive chorus and tornado dance.

In response to a question about the reactions of fans towards new song 'Bingeul Bingeul', Kibum said, "honestly, during our 1st and 2nd singles, people were not really aware of us. Our popularity started rising a little from 'Man Man Ha Ni'."

"Therefore, we honestly had great expectations for this album. Although we received a lot of love as compared to the beginning, it still seems like it's lacking," he added.

"Since 'Bingeul Bingeul' is the start, will it not get better?" said the ambitious Kibum.

Seeing ghosts is a sign of success? We rather not..

There are a few popular beliefs of signs on success in the singing industry. For example, constantly seeing ghosts in the recording studio or having unidentifiable sounds appearing in your music are some of the signs.

When asked if they saw any of such signs during their preparation for the new album, the members "no" together.

"During our 1st and 2nd album promotions, we often saw ghost-like figures or experienced sudden power failures. So while we said 'this is going to be a big hit', things didn't go as well as we expected."

"During 'Man Man Ha Ni', we didn't experience such things. But we received much better responses than we did for our previous albums. So in future, we hope we don't experience such believed signs of success."

With their REBIRTH mini-album release last fall, the members’ individual activities as well as the group’s pan-Asian tour, in which the young men visited Seoul (Korea), Tokyo (Japan), Taipei (Taiwan), Shanghai (China) and Hong Kong (China), SS501 has been quite busy for a while, but that isn’t stopping them from making May 1 an extra-special day for their fans.
