U-Kiss has declared that they will create "a new Korean Wave" through their upcoming foray into the Japanese music industry.
Speaking at a press conference held on March 10th at the Westin Chosun Hotel in Seoul, the group expressed their anticipation about the career move in front of numerous reporters from Japan and the local press.
"First of all, we are very glad that such a great opportunity has arisen for us in Japan," the group said. "We will be promoting our album there but our activities will be different from what we have done in the country till now."
The boys, who signed with Yahoo! Japan on March 9th to manage and promote them in the country, added, "we feel very close [to Japan] because we made our first debut in Japan" and said they "want to be more popular there than [they are] in Korea."
U-Kiss is composed of seven members, many of whom were raised overseas and speak several languages including English, Chinese and Japanese.
They debuted in September 2008 with the single album New Generation and are currently promoting their first full-length album U-Kiss Only One Album, released last month.
