[E-Daily Star Reporter Kim Eun Gu] ‘Tren baru grup idola multinasional telah datang.

Grup idola baru EXO, yang baru saja debut, memiliki member-member Chinese. EXO terdiri dari EXO-K dan EXO-M yang menampilkan lagu dalam bahasa Korea dan Mandarin. EXO-M memiliki 6 member, yaitu member dari Korea, Chen dan Xiumin, dan member dari Cina, Kris, Luhan, Tao, dan Lay.

Keuntungan memiliki sebuah grup multinasional yang memiliki promosi yang sama adalah mereka dapat tampil di luar negri, lalu member yang berasal dari negaranya sendiri juga mendapat banyak perhatian dari fans lokal. Akhir-akhir ini banyak member multinasional di sebuah grup. Nichkhun-2PM dan Joy-Rania berasal dari Thailand; Victoria-f(x), Jia dan Fei -Miss A mereka semua adalah Chinese.

CROSS GENE mengatakan kalau “Kami terus mengingat kalau banyak grup idola yang menargetkan penonton internasional”, dan “Kalau musik kami dapat menggambarkan grup secara internasional dan menyampaikannya pada penonton internasional, maka kami rasa itu tidak akan sulit”.

[E-Daily Star in Reporter Kim Eun Gu] ‘Muntinational’ idol group’s new trend is here.

New idol group EXO, which recently debuted, has Chinese members. EXO consists of EXO-K and EXO-M who performs songs in both Korean and Mandarin respectively. EXO-M has 6 members, which are Korean members Chen, Xiumin and Chinese members Kris, Luhan, Tao and Lay.

The advantages of having a multinational group having the same promotions is that they can perform overseas, thus the local members get a lot of attention from their local fans. There are currently lots of active multinational members in idol groups nowadays. 2PM Nichkhun and Rania’s Joy are both from Thailand; f(x)’s Victoria, and Miss A’s Jia and Fei are all Chinese.

CROSS GENE says that “We kept in mind that there are many idol groups targeting the international audience”, and “If our music portrays the international feel of the group and caters to the international audience, then we feel it won’t be as hard to enter”.
