‘New Generation rookie’ GENBLUE has declared their participation in the midst of a fierce battle of fifth-generation girl groups, and has finished preparing to soar high.

Their agency Ten Entertainment announced that the multinational girl group GENBLUE will release their first mini-album ‘ACT LIKE THAT’ on Thursday, March 6th at 6 PM (KST). They won the final round of Taiwan‘s popular national audition program ‘NEXT GIRLZ’ and made their official debut in Korea with ‘COCO’ in September of last year. They won the ‘K-POP Rookie Award’ at the ‘32nd Korea Culture and Entertainment Awards’ and received praise for broadening the realm of K-POP.

The team name ‘GenBlue’ is a combination of ‘Generation’ and ‘Blue’, which is reminiscent of the sky and the sea and symbolizes infinite possibilities, and contains the aspiration to become an icon of a new era that never stops taking on challenges.

GenBlue is a group of six girls who won the survival show. First of all, leader XXIN, who is good at everything from dancing to rapping, is an all-rounder character who has been recognized by legendary dancer Jay Black for her dancing skills and has even filmed a challenge with him. The group consists of a total of six members: main vocalist AYEON, who is the only Korean member, main vocalist YUAN, who is nicknamed ‘Super Idol’ for his outstanding vocals and guitar skills, sub-rapper LILI, a TikToker with over a million followers and the embodiment of the Gen.G generation, sub-vocalist AYAKO, who is armed with witty wit, and visual maknaes Nico, who has an unexpected charisma and is in charge of the visuals despite her innocent appearance.

Their first mini-album ‘ACT LIKE THAT’ contains a total of four tracks, the title song of the same name ‘ACT LIKE THAT’, as well as the side tracks ’OH!’, ‘SLOW DOWN’, and ‘Spring is Coming’. In particular, the title song ‘ACT LIKE THAT’ is a pop dance song that stands out with its fast rhythm and stimulating, addictive sound, and is garnering attention for containing the message of Zenblue’s ambition to confidently soar as they have done so far without being conscious of the eyes of those around them at every moment they move forward into the world.

Zenblue‘s first mini-album ‘ACT LIKE THAT’ will be released on various streaming sites on Thursday, March 6 at 6 PM. You can meet it first through the highlight medley on the official SNS today (the 27th).
