CROSS GENE talks about coming together as a multi-national group

[qummydino.livejournal.com]

On June 7th, Korean-Chinese-Japanese idol group CROSS GENE held their debut showcase at the AX-Hall in front of hundreds of reporters from all over Asia.

Japanese member and leader Takuya began, “I’m the only Japanese member in the group, but I’m not at all lonely because I’m with the members. The hardest part is communication since I have to lead the team as their leader. We usually work out problems by having group conversations.”

Korean member Sangmin added, “It was really awkward when we first began dorming together, but we’re all so used to it now that I’ve forgotten that some of the members are from other countries. Since we’re a multi-national group, we have our own CROSS GENE language. Chicken stir fry is expressed as spicy meat while stir-fried pork is referred to as red meat.”

Chinese member J.G. made the reporters burst out in laughter by mimicking Sangmin’s Gyeongsangdo ‘satoori’ (dialect).

Takuya expressed, “We’re going to work really hard starting with our showcase today. We’re starting in Korea but we do have Japanese promotions planned in the future. We hope to meet you in a variety of ways other than just music so we ask that you give us your support.”

The boys kicked off their showcase with their title track, “La-Di Da-Di“, before going on to perform other tracks off of their album like “Sky High“, “For This Love“, and “My Lady“, exhibiting perfect choreography synchronization and vocal talent with each performance.

takuya is so handsome.

[kelseyum.livejournal.com]

i love these boys so much already!!
i cant wait to see them on shows to get to know their personalities better, and for them to loosen up. takuya seemed really nervous talking during their showcase. which is understandable for them all, if theyre not as confident speaking korean as they are with their own cross gene language lol

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

is sangmin half korean?

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Apparently that Kyungjoon kid in "Big" is in this boy group.

[forgedeternally.livejournal.com]

So stanning if he is. :) Great acting debut!

[kelseyum.livejournal.com]

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

I was reading a forum about the risk of joimig all races but I feel like this group will work. I think they've got the talents and vsuals to go far. Yay, I root for you guys!!! ( just need to learn your guys name. Lol) hwaiting!

"I was reading a forum about the risk of joimig all races but I feel like this group will work."

Huh?

[minho-lover.livejournal.com]

I meant a forum about them, Cross Gene, that said they wouldn't go far because they are mixed.

[shade-of-kim.livejournal.com]

Aww, seriously gonna miss him with the amuse boys but I really wish him luck! Can't wait to see their debut!

[falling-empress.livejournal.com]

Oh man, China, Japan, and Korea? They are so cultural!

[liferule91.livejournal.com]

lmfao

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

tbh, kpop would consider that a big step.

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

This.

[falling-empress.livejournal.com]

Yeah because 3 out of 196 countries--all of which share common pieces of culture such as kanji, is so cultural. You're right, my bad.

Oh wait, not.

[lovemail321.livejournal.com]

Stanning them already. La-Di Da-Di is my current jam.

[goldynchickie.livejournal.com]

Oooo he's good looking and tall. Me gusta

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

hmmmm...well this sounds interesting. might have to check these boys out...

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I had no idea TeraTaku was the leader. That should be interesting, especially since he's a ~foreigner.

[lee-chikin.livejournal.com]

I was already lured by their agency, but with the MV I was sold. I just wish they had a less lame name.

[pineapple-soda.livejournal.com]

takuya is rly qt

[xredada.livejournal.com]

Thank for the picture op. You have convinced me to give this group a chance. Of to watch their MV now (if i end up stanning them, it's all your fault!!!)

[lonelymoon.livejournal.com]

Omg he's cute. And taller than Minho O_O

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

tbh i only vare about rn becuase of shin won ho and takuya's pretty selves.

[o-o-mai-o-o.livejournal.com]

omg, now that it's summer, I have so much time to stan these nugu groups, finally!
Even though their song is generic and their dance is lulzy, I like 'em. All so damn good looking too unf unf, and I'm not a noona to any of them! In love with JG's voice, Shin makes me want to hug him, and Takuya needs to get in my bed.

[engraved-16.livejournal.com]

Ohh i was wondering what happened to this group :)
so now they've finally debuted?

UNF TAKUYA CAN GET IT.

[michasungbang.livejournal.com]

idg why takuya's the leader when shin wonho is oldest and korean. oh well I'm still not familiar with their personality yet so idk THEY NEED A SHOW!

[xredada.livejournal.com]

I had the same thought. I watched a bit of their showcase and (i don't know if it's nerves) Takuya's still has a very obvious accent when he speaks Korean which i hope won't limit them if they go on shows and stuff.

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

Ooh, TeraTaku is their leader? Me gusta. He is SO fine; stanning the group just for him tbh.
