U-Kiss (유키스) is a 7-member Korean boy band under NH Media. They debuted in 2008 with a single album entitled “어리지 않아” (Not Young). Their first single is said to be a fusion of the typical kpop as well as a "dirty south" style which was entirely composed by the Brave Brothers.
U-Kiss is comprised of 6 boys – two of which came from or were former members of another group, Xing (Kevin and Kibum). They are a multi-lingual group allowing them to communicate with fans in Korean, English, French, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish.
This shows their intention of becoming an international group with the member's ability to converse with different languages. Alexander can converse in seven languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean and English). He has a flair for languages. Eli is articulate in English, Korean and Mandarin and DongHo in Mandarin. Kevin is fluent in English and KiBum can speak Japanese. They are not only ready for Asia, but also for the US and Europe as well.
