We already knew about copycats French rock groups inspired by japanese visual key. Now, brace yourselves for young groups influenced by Korean boygroups and girlgroups.

French new group ALIIFE uploaded the music video for its first single, 'Peace & Love', on Youtube on September 4. With a cheesy melody and message, the coed quatuor declared to be very influenced by kpop.

Members Bkey, Sarah, Kyyron and Aphy have been unveiled on social medias during the last few months, following the traditional media PR of Korean new groups. Check out their video!

This MV is probably better than half of the stuff we normally see. I am so in love with everything Sarah is wearing.

sounds a tad like poker face at the start.
the hand movements and what not make me so uncomfortable, no music video should have them :/

This is a bit misleading. I thought it would be a blatant ripoff of a kpop song/mv/dance (as some groups are wont to do) but it was just a group that's just starting out with medium production value singing an original song that's not great but also not that bad.

It wasn't like slit my wrists and boil my eyeballs awful, like some kpop stuff that leaves you thinking "What the fuck was that? Is this what Peyote feels like?"

It was just like, "Oh. Okay."

Typical basic debut song and mv, tbh.

This. The only European VK I'm familiar with is Seremedy and that's because the blonde guitarist was featured on Yahoo!

Seems like they skipped crazy dieting and obligatory visit for plastic surgery clinic part of Korean idol life considering only one of then looks like an idol. It will be hard for them if they were planning of attracting masses of horny preteens/teens though. But good luck for them maybe someone will like their music.

God it just sounds like the average shitty french pop I'm forced to hear everyday because the bus driver won't turn off the radio... x)
Maybe it's because I'm overseas for two weeks now but I've never heard of them before : have they appeared in the french media ?

it's not bad pop. the lyrics must be really simple and/or extremely well eunciated because I'm understanding about 80% of it.
sarah is clearly awesome, and probably would sound pretty on her own, or with less of the dudes.

It's not bad. It's just kpop visual influence?

It's not as bad like what Heart2Heart attempted.

I don't think this is embarrassing at all? They're young and they look like they're having fun with the concept. It's hard to be an Asian guy in a pop band outside of Asia, so if the Kpop concept will let them find an audience for their music, more power to them, I say. I think it's cool that it's a mixed-gender and mixed-race group.

As far as looks go, there's clearly a "visual" member and clearly a "charisma" member, but the other two are still kinda cute, in a Geeks way. And I mean, the song isn't particularly good, but it's not terrible either? It's just a kind of standard pop song. Unless the lyrics are embarrassing... any French speakers want to weigh in on this?

Going off what the commenter above said, if they weren't doing the Kpop thing Sarah would probably be the frontperson/singer, visual dude would probably be the bassist, and the other two guys would probably be playing keyboard and guitar.

It's really simple, "let's all be together" and "hands in the air", the usual stuff
