5urprise Plan to Release an Album

[ainsleys.livejournal.com]

Known to be Korea’s first and only acting idol group, 5urprise‘s agency recently revealed its plans for the group to release a music album! Although idol members venturing in to acting may be common, actors venturing in to the idol music industry are quite rare. Yet, as 5urprise has indeed been a surprise to many, it seems like the acting idol group ‘s agency may have many more special plans up their sleeves.

Have debuted back in September of last year, 5urprise comprised of members Seo Kang Joon, Yoo Il, Gong Myung, Kang Tae Oh, and Lee Tae Hwan. Recently, many have recognized member Seo Kang Joon for his past role in MBC‘s “Cunning Single Lady,” as well as his current participation in SBS‘ reality show, “Roommate.” Furthermore, besides Seo Kang Joon, the other members of 5urprise have also been active with their drama and movie schedules.

However, as idols must be prepared for the acting world, actors must also be well prepared and trained to be singers. Thus, 5urprise’s agency revealed, “We are currently working on the album’s concept, release, and many other things in part for the 5urprise’s music debut. As we are busy placing the members in to vocal training, we hope that the members will be able to show their diverse charms.”

We can’t wait to hear more music news in the future!

fiiiiinally

have the other members had any acting jobs?? tbh it seems like fantiago only give opportunities to seo kang joon.

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

one of them was in idol love&war special with btob minhyuk i think
seo kang joon is like the suzy/hyuna of this group. i watched a fucked up drama special with him an he was pretty average, i wonder why is fantagio investing so much in him

[ainsleys.livejournal.com]

Yeah, someone mentioned Tae Oh on Idol Love&War, Gong Myung's been in a few a movies and is currently promoting Futureless Things (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02u2j-Ncayg) with Hello Venus's YooYoung (which they brought to both the Busan and Jeonju film festivals) not a movie but a short drama series, Tae Hwan has only had a minor role in a drama, and Yoo Il had a guest spot on Idol Love&War with Tae Oh.

So yeah mostly Kang Joon lmao.

KANGJOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

any videos of them singing?rapping? dancing?

[ainsleys.livejournal.com]

Yeah! There's their MV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujg13EcFt7s) for a song they sung on After School BokBulBok (they also did a bit of a performance during one of the episodes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SckkIVKNd94#t=513)).

Also Yoo Il (the oldest member) was in an idol group like seven years ago called R-eal (though he went by Park Sang Il then), he's performed a ballad and Kim Hyun-Joong's Breakdown (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCtu5inj6sU) more ~recently~ and sung a few random osts under the stage name U1 (which I can't find, sad times).

Kang Joon has posted him playing some piano (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wReXL54xoY) but other than that idk if they've done anything else musically.

Seo Kang-joon has found a fan in me.

[dc222.livejournal.com]

Yes!!! Can't wait!

But I think I want them in another little mobile drama (COMEDY!) more. hehe

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

This company is missing out on putting them in a drama together. It could be a Poor Girl/Rich Guy drama in a snobby school and they could be F5. People would jump on that.

i remember thinking this actor-idol concept for a whole group was such a weird bad idea

then i watched their little drama Afterschool Bokbulbok
then Cunning Single Lady with Kangjoon
and now currently Roomate which includes Kangjoon again (his brokeass is so endearing lmao)

i might be willing to stan this flop group ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[musicnkisses.livejournal.com]

Lol, broke ass?
That sounds hilarious.

[allthingsgood.livejournal.com]

Isn't one of them in the army already?

[sweet16een.livejournal.com]

They did this last year.......for After School Bokbulbok OST

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

This wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

[burqaswag.livejournal.com]

Hopefully it's handled well. I'm already fan of Kang Joon

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

I was lol irl while watching their internet with kim soeun. If they're as crazy irl as they were in the drama, id rather a variety show featuring them than a comeback. Though i guess it's as good time as any to use this opportunity to introduce the other guys to those who'll be checking for kangjoon.

[triplestacker.livejournal.com]

what is the point of an acting group? how does it work?

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Idk... Maybe a more cohesive fandom? Ive always found fandoms of singers more organized than actors. Then again, ive never stanned hard for actors so who am i to say anything.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I think Kangjoon is the leader...that would explain why he gets the most work...maybe

Their dorm looked terribad on Roommate though...and he kept saying he was going to get in trouble for the cell phone and wanted to call him family...I mean dang

I'm presuming they can sing though...at least one or two of them

[confuqued.livejournal.com]

I thought Kangjoon was a cute for like a day.. I would like to see the other members now.

[rxkhyun.livejournal.com]

I liked Taeoh first when I saw him on Dream Team. He's really handsome.
I was wondering when they would release something. Hopefully it's decent.

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

Finally! Taeoh is such a qt on Dream Team. I need more of him asap

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

maybe their company will give them all cell phones now

[canxi.livejournal.com]

I can't understand why they won't. Everyone on Roommate looked so shocked when Kang Joon said he didn't have a cell phone. The whip lash from the head turns, rofl.

[maishi-obuki.livejournal.com]

I would rather the company focus on getting all of them Acting jobs and endorsements/CFs



I will still say good luck.

Pretty interesting concept, the first time I saw DBSK (on a Banjun Drama), I actually thought that they were an acting idol group like this.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

A group of actors releasing an album? That can be interesting tbh. I hope they can at least sing decently lol.
