Rookie girl group GENBLUE has captivated the area with their busking in Sinchon.

GENBLUE (AYEON, XXIN, YUAN, LILI, AYAKO, NICO) held busking in Sinchon, Seoul on the 22nd as part of the promotion for their first mini-album, ‘ACT LIKE THAT’.

On that day, GENBLUE appeared waving their hands brightly and caught everyone‘s attention by lovingly greeting them in Korean despite the fact that all of the members, except for Ayeon, who was the only Korean, were Taiwanese.

GENBLUE then opened the busking with the title song of their first mini-album, ‘ACT LIKE THAT’, amidst the enthusiastic response from their fans. As the pop dance song ‘ACT LIKE THAT’ with its fast rhythm and addictive sound started to flow, Zenblue showed off a perfect teamwork that showed the essence of sharp group dance as well as a stage that melted together each member’s individuality. Not only fans but also people passing by Sinchon gathered in groups of three or five to see Zenblue and gave an explosive response.

Zenblue also made it impossible to take their eyes off of them by performing ‘SLOW DOWN’, a song that was performed on the popular Taiwanese audition program ‘NEXT GIRLZ’ that made them who they are today and a track from this album, as well as their addictive Korean debut song ‘COCO’. The audience not only cheered the members on, but also sang along and had fun together, heating up Sinchon even more.

In addition, as a group that is active in both Korea and Taiwan, Zenblue made everyone listen up by revealing the differences in their activities in the two countries. They said, “In Taiwan, we appeared on a lot of variety shows and radio, but in Korea, we mainly do music show activities,” and added that since fancams are important in the Korean music industry, music show activities are essential.

During the talk time between the breaks, Ayako drew attention by recommending stinky tofu as a Taiwanese food. Ayeon, the only Korean, also piqued curiosity by saying, “At first, there was a barrier to entry, but it’s really delicious when you try it.”

Zenblue conveyed their sincere feelings as they wrapped up their busking, spreading warmth. Ayeon said, “We are a rookie team called Zenblue that just debuted in September of last year. “I hope that today will be an opportunity for many people to get to know Zenblue, and although we still have shortcomings, I hope you will look upon us kindly and support us,” they said. Riri continued, “I was so nervous, but I was able to do well because so many came. I love you,” and Wien expressed his gratitude, saying, “Today was such a happy time.”

Lastly, Zenblue successfully wrapped up their first busking by taking a commemorative photo with the audience who cheered them on the whole time. Accordingly, expectations are rising for what kind of activities Zenblue will do in the future after making a surprise appearance in Sinchon and giving us a Happy Saturday like a gift.

Since releasing their first mini-album ‘ACT LIKE THAT’ on the 6th, Zenblue has been actively promoting by appearing on various music shows and holding fan signing events. Their stage can also be seen on SBS M ‘The Show’ on the 25th (Tuesday).
