It's been one and a half years since they've debuted, U-kiss (Alexander, Kevin, Eli, Kibum, SooHyun, Dongho, KiSeop). Through their song "manmanhani" U-kiss has started to gain attention. For the first time, U-kiss confessed their hardships and heart wrenching moments of their training days till now on national TV.

Every since the beginning of their debut days, all Dongho got was "Who's that?"”
The first person to come up to Dongho and talk to him was Korea National MC YooJaeSuk. YooJaeSuk came up to dongho and said “"DongHoya~ U-kiss' new song ManManHaNi is awesome!" Dongho said on TV program that he gained great confidence through YooJaeSuk's words and sent his thankfulness.
Eli who is known to be the mood maker of U-kiss confessed, when he was fifteen years old he started his dorm life in china. He told how he had to live three months on instant noodles. He confessed he was so poor that if he somehow got his hands on some ramen, the first day he would eat just the noodles, the next day he would drink the soup of the noodles, and that was how he lived for two days.
Idol Suhyoon told his story of when his father passed away. He said he was very shocked and in complete anguish. But he never gave up on his dream and pressed on to become a singer.
Kiseop confessed his hardships of joining the group late and his never ending days of auditioning and of how he fell into deep depression. However after he witnessed his mother crying alone secretly, he slapped himself to his senses and climbed out of his depression.
U-kiss who is always bright surprised the staff leaving them speechless.

Date: 2010-02-05 06:17 pm (UTC)in a way i'm sorta glad that i got into K-pop just recently as i feel that i get to see them just as they are hitting their stride. so i would have none of that D: feeling of watching them be ignored.

Date: 2010-02-05 06:47 pm (UTC)I didn't know that about Soohyun...I feel for him. And I imagine Kiseop must've had a hard time being the newbie but I can see he blends in perfectly.

Date: 2010-02-05 07:00 pm (UTC)it sort of feels (or felt at least) that u-kiss is like the forgotten middle child of kpop...all the older bands (suju, dbsk, big bang) are huge and the rookies are getting so much attention...whereas u-kiss, who (imo) have more talent than some bands, is sort of ignored. but it looks like things are getting better now :3 ♥ and at least their international fanbase seems to be pretty big thanks to all the overseas promotions/english-speaking members.
