Pure brillance or stupidity? Daring to take on argubably one of the most popular idol groups in Korea today and their fans certainly takes some courage.
DSP recently released a video clip of A’st1 on various video sharing websites in Korea which has CAUGHT the attention of many. In this hotly disputed video, one A’st1 member (I assume it’s their leader) uses Chinese calligraphy and writes on a blank white scroll. It was then revealed that the words were, “Knockdown Super Junior” as they bravely laid down an open challenge.
Daesung Entertainment who already has popular boyband SS5501 on it’s books will debut their new 6-male group A’st1 which is composed of Korean members Park Jung Jin (22), Byun Jang Moon (21), Sung In Kyu (21) and Lim Han Byul (20), Japanese member Tomo (22) and Chinese member Haiming (22). And despite yet to debut and relatively unknown to most, DSP has either gone nuts or simply gung-ho with their brazen marketing strategy. It’s now or never!
Suicidal one might say. But frankly, if not for this video, who would give them a look-in especially for neutrals like me? After this, more would have known about this new group called A’st1. But will they live to see the day?
Super Junior fans, especially their ELFs fanclub are likely to stage a fightback and post anti-messages against them to protect their idols and there’s a “bloodbath” is looming ahead in the industry. Good luck to them.
A’st1 will make their debut in April 2008 with their single titled, “1234back”. Discuss about them at Soompi.
由來自韓、中、日等多個國家的成員組成的嶄新組合將亮相歌壇。曾一手捧紅SECHSKIES、Fin.K.L和SS501等多個人氣組合的DSP Ent公司3日表示：“由日本人Tomo（22歲）和中國人海明（22歲），及韓國人朴正真（22歲）、卞章文（21歲）、成仁奎（21歲）和仁韓星（20歲，以上人名音譯）組成的多國籍組合將在本月正式出道。此外，來自中國台灣、泰國及澳大利亞的練習生中還將有一人加入該組合，組合的名字為‘A'ST1’(Astar1)。”
經過三年的艱苦培訓即將出道的A'ST1計劃成為超越“韓流明星”，並代表整個亞洲的偶像組合。雖然尚未正式出道，但香港有線電視和大眾在線電視等中國的電視台紛紛發出演出邀請。阿裡郎電視台將從12日起向亞洲各國播出該組合的訓練過程及出道準備過程。
包括流行歌曲、Funky Music和舞曲等各種曲風的A'ST1首張單曲唱片將于本月末發行。主打歌由《想見你的日子》的作曲韓尚原（音）編曲，具有旋律簡潔和充滿活力的特點。
