Boy group NewUs to debut in Korea and Japan

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

Rookie five member boy group NewUs is set to debut in both Korea and Japan later this year.

Though the group's been planning a debut since last year, plans never got through till this summer when the news of their debut was finally revealed. StarCubic Entertainment, the label behind NewUs, is mostly known because of their dance group LoveCubic as well as the recently debuted girl group La_tte.

The five member boy group consisting of leader and former ulzzang Jion ('87), Hooni ('92), Hyunmo ('93), Sangwook ('93) and Seoin ('94) will release its first single called "Right Now" in Japan on August 17th. The single will be joined by a short promotion cycle in the country from August 17th till 24th. NewUs is set to debut in Korea shortly after, in September.

The red-head is too hot. I'm keeping an eye on them just for him tbh.

Such babies, that name too confusing. My question is, which one is strong enough to carry their dufflebag of tears back to Korea? Not that middle one he's way too posh.

NewUs? Gosh, somehow saying it out loud reminds me of NU'EST

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

Wow they photoshopped the hell out of that picture (I hope), because all of the members' faces look very creepy.

LOL, they're going to debut in Japan first and their name is similar to NEWS.

[w-ryoku.livejournal.com]

I was expecting such a comment tbh!

Though the name is more similar to NU'EST but since they mentioned debuting in Japan, can't help but think of NEWS more XD

Too many groups debuting such that the companies are running out of good group names? *sigh*

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

My first thought tbh.

[nyavenue.livejournal.com]

YES. I first read it as "Boy Group NEWS to debut in Korea" and was :OOOO

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

Koyama-oppa is ready for that imo XD

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

Yeah Koyama would love that.

[nyavenue.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA I LOL-ed!
I remember dying of laughter when I first listened to "Uri Sarang".

And woah, all the NEWS icons in this thread :3

Hiiiiii Massu

[asiapopsecret.livejournal.com]

Was just gonna say that. lol you read my mind!

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

i dislike ulzzangs, they are rarely pretty and look like creepy aliens who want to eat my soul. and seem to all share the same face. [/end of random rant]

[pepper.livejournal.com]

and seem to all share the same face.

Plastic surgery. They probably all go to the same surgeon lol.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

lol i wouldn't be surprised if true.

[10135.livejournal.com]

LOL, me too. Most ulzzangs creep me out.

[consequences.livejournal.com]

i thought i was misreading nu'est for a second there

also, what does it mean to be a "former ulzzang"? :O i was under the impression that ulzzang was just a way of describing looks? maybe i am tragically misinformed

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

I would imagine that they mean uljjang as in famously known for having those looks. Some of them have proper careers as uljjangs.

[consequences.livejournal.com]

oh interesting :O i never knew you could have a career as an ulzzang? does that just mean modeling?

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

I have absolutely no idea, but some of them surely do.

[yunhalove.livejournal.com]

yeah, they model a lot. sometimes ulzzangs are also featured on cable tv shows like ulzzang shidae or w/e, and they capitalize on their popularity to start their own online/rl shopping malls/shops and become ceos. so yeah many ulzzangs make serious $$$

[consequences.livejournal.com]

thank you so much for explaining!

damn makes me wish i were born with good looks

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

So how do you say their name?

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

I'd imagine New Us with equal stress? Otherwise it'd logically be new-s with a schwa before the s.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

La_tte? Nugu?
