New 9-member boy band ZE:A (Children of Empire) held their showcase performance on January 13th in Kangnam, Seoul.

The members performed their debut track Mazeltov, as well as Love Coach and New Star. In addition, they also showed off their individual talents. Up until this day, ZE:A had put on over 50 wingcar performances all throughout Korea. Due to sheer amount of performances and experience they have built up, their showcase was apparently very professional

Star Empire stated :

“In order to show off the skills they have built up from their training days, all 9 members have been practicing all day long and spilling sweat.”

据悉，韩国新锐男子组合ZE：A（帝国的孩子们）在出道之前，就从世界著名唱片公司受到加盟邀请，成为人们关注的焦点。

7日，发表出道曲《Mazeltov》的ZE：A最近与世界著名唱片公司—华纳音乐（Wanner Music Chinese Mandarin Grop）以及索尼音乐（Sony Music）签约，在韩国歌坛出道之前就全面进军亚洲音乐市场。

华纳音乐将以台湾为开始，在香港、中国大陆、澳门、马来西亚、印度尼西亚、菲律宾等地开展活动，而索尼音乐将在泰国和新加坡发行ZE：A组合的唱片，并举行亚洲推广活动。目前，细节部分仍在协商中。

新锐组合与华纳和索尼两家世界顶级唱片公司签约，并在出道前就确定进军亚洲市场，堪称韩国音乐界一大奇迹。这表明，亚洲市场非常看好ZE：A组合，并给予非常大的期待。

华纳和索尼的相关人士不约而同地表示：“此前，我们通过媒体一直关注着ZE：A的成长过程，除了唱功之外，出色的舞蹈实力和外貌也是我们所希望看到的，他们完全有能力在韩国歌坛乃至亚洲歌坛站稳脚跟。目前，很多国外粉丝都对ZE：A组合充满期待，进军亚洲市场之后，这一组合将有可能成为亚洲顶级偶像组合。”

目前，出道不久的ZE：A组合结束在韩国国内的表演，正计划全面进军亚洲市场，下周的Showcase舞台将成为ZE：A组合征服亚洲的首秀。

New Korean boyband ZE:A (Children of Empire) has signed contracts with world-renowned recording companies before their debut, gaining much attention

ZE:A, which recently debuted with "Mazeltov" on the 7th of January, recently signed a contract with renowned music companies Warner Music Chinese Mandarin Group and Sony Music, making its advance towards the world music market even before its official debut.

ZE:A's promotional activities under Warner Music will start in Taiwan, followed by Hong Kong, mainland China, Macau, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines etc. Sony Music will distribute ZE:A's albums in Thailand and Singapore, and also hold its own promotional activities. As of now, details are still unconfirmed

That a brand new group has signed contracts with industry powerhouses Warner and Sony and even started its advance into the Asia market is unusual in the Korean music industry. This shows that the Asia market is highly anticipating ZE:A's debut.

"Through the media, we have been following ZE:A's growth as a group. They have the ability to gain a stable foothold in both the Korean and Chinese music industry with their singing and dance ability as well as appearance. Now, many overseas fans also expect much from ZE:A, and after entering the Asian market, this group has the potential to become a top idol group in Asia," representatives from Warner and Sony both expressed in separate interviews.

The recently debuted ZE:A will have their showcase on 13th January, their first step towards conquering Asia.

Sorry for cutting your post short T_T

I totally agree with you about Mazeltov. At first I didn't like it that much, but then I watched it again and it is catchy XD

But anyway. Hi! *waves* I'm Tali. I'm just getting into ze:a. I've been watching their reality show lately. I love watching shows like that with the boys because it gives you a good sense of their personalities. And it shows them as regular people, not just idols

Can't wait to see performances by them! <3
