GENBLUE, the dynamic girl group from Taiwan, is taking K-pop by storm with the release of their first Korean EP, ACT LIKE THAT, which also involves a promotional tour across Asia, including Malaysia, in the pipeline.

Comprising XXIN, AYEON, YUAN, LILI, AYAKO and NICO, GENBLUE has now become the first girl group from Taiwan to enter the South Korean physical album market with this EP.

The EP album comes with four tracks ranging from catchy to soothing, namely ACT LIKE THAT, OH!, SLOW DOWN and FEEL LIKE SPRING. Since its release, it has been making rounds online, especially the music video of ACT LIKE THAT, which features a one-take choreography and a showcase of their bold yet bubbly side.

Formed under Taiwan-based label TEN Entertainment, GENBLUE rose to prominence on the reality show NEXT GIRLZ in 2023. Their name, a combination of “Generation” and “Blue”, symbolises the vibrancy of a new era and the endless ocean.

After intensive training with top-tier instructors from JYP, YG, SM and HYBE, GENBLUE made history as the first girl group from Taiwan to debut in Korea with their single COCOCO in 2024, followed by a K-POP Rookie Award win at the Korean Culture and Entertainment Awards.

The girls have been making their mark in Korea with music show performances, album signing events, flash mobs, exclusive pop-up stores and photo booth collaborations.

To record the album, the Mandarin-speaking members dedicated themselves to learning Korean. All of them have also been improving their English for better interactions with international fans.

“This album is a reflection of GENBLUE’s essence, and we dedicate it to our fans as a token of appreciation for their unwavering support!” - Leader XXIN

GENBLUE has hinted at the possibility of a special fan event, if the music video of ACT LIKE THAT surpasses 30 million views. Fans in Malaysia have the opportunity make it happen by hitting the play button.
