SPICA Sets Sights On US Fame, English Debut 'I Did It' Drops August 7

After two and a half years in the industry, girl group SPICA will soon be making the career-changing leap most K-Pop artists only dream about. On August 7 (OP note: EST), five-member K-Pop group SPICA will drop their debut US single, "I Did It," and follow the release with a live performance at KCON 2014 in Los Angeles on August 10.

Ahead of the highly anticipated English single, SPICA and their agency B2M Entertainment have teamed up with Billboard for "I Did It" promotional activities stateside. (OP note: not really) "We hope to get a lot of support for the new song," the group members said. "We are looking forward to launching out first single and music video in America and are so excited to meet new fans." Cory Enemy, Oliver Goldstein, and Daniel Merlot share production credits for the new track and their combined industry experience - having previously worked with some of the world's leading pop stars such as Britney Spears, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Shakira - bodes well for SPICA.

The new track is said to be a medium-tempo dance pop song that calls upon elements of hip-hop and punk to evoke a sense of 90's pop nostalgia. "Oliver, Cory, and Daniel have given us an amazing song," explained the group members. "We truthfully have high expectations for this first single and music video release in the United States."


Since making their debut in South Korea in early 2012, SPICA has seen success with four singles and two EPs, all of which have been well-received by critics and fans alike. The group's most recent release, "You Don't Love Me," has over two million views on YouTube and counting. Already a success on the K-Pop charts back home, the new challenge for Boa, Bohyung, Juhyun, Narae, and Jiwon will be winning over fans (and the airwaves) in the US.


Stay tuned for the release of "I Did It" on August 7.

I’m getting a friend to print it and pass it to Spica at the SeouLA meet & greet on 7 Aug Thu 3pm. (Refer to bit.ly/spicaUSschedule for the meet & greet details.)




Languages accepted: English, Mandarin, Korean
Message length: 50 words for English/Mandarin, no limit for Korean

Email your message to mercurysubs.spica@gmail.com or if it’s short, tweet it to @MercurySubs. Both the original and translated messages will be included in the messagebook.

DEADLINE: Thursday 3am PST (Thursday 7pm KST)



I know it’s very little time but the opportunity to do this messagebook just presented itself. We’d appreciate it if everyone could help reblog/RT this tweet spread it to as many people as possible who’d be interested to take part! :)

US debut? Oh. I don't listen to them, so I can't say I'm very hopeful. Trying to crack here is not an easy task. Even in the past, Backstreet Boys and NSYNC started in Europe. Good luck to them though.

I can't even believe people have to think twice about having the chance to see SPICA! Then again Mpire fans would have said the same thing to me since they came here to Hawaii for the Korean Festival and their concert was free and I didn't go. haha

They are going to flop so hard. They needed to be in the states starting promo on talk shows and such to get their name out there. I hope their company has some sort of promo planned to see if they can get on Good Morning America, maybe a show on E! Something to grab peoples attention.

They're doing it right. Y'now why? Cause this schedule shows how humble they are to their status. This is how artists get their start in the U.S. Not by appearing on Letterman and hoping people will just love them right from the start.

Oh and I'm so going to be at that Feria event. It's on like Donkey Kong.
