Who are U-KISS’s rivals?

The nature of the K-Pop industry these days is to pit idol groups against each other, and oftentimes, reporters will ask a group about who they feel their rivals are. U-KISS recently confessed that they felt their #1 opponents were themselves, not other groups.

On September 6th, YTV‘s ‘News ‘n Issue’ interviewed U-KISS and asked them to name their rivals. The boys sincerely answered that it was themselves.

They explained, “Rather than thinking that we have to beat someone, we’ve always thought that we were our worst opponents,” and that “If we try hard to surpass ourselves, we believe there will be success in our future”.

Members Soo Hyun, Kevin, and Dong Ho have indeed been trying to challenge themselves by taking on acting. Soo Hyun and Kevin participated in the musicals ‘Chorus Line’ and ‘On Air Live’ respectively, while Dong Ho made appearances in movies and dramas.

Soo Hyun stated, “While doing the musical, I shed tears because I was reminded of the memories leading up to the debut. It was a good experience.”

Kevin also chimed in with his thoughts on his musical debut, saying, “Despite being my first musical, it was a good experience. My role was that of an idol, which was convenient for me. I want to keep acting.”

Since they’ve never won on a music program before, U-KISS has made it their goal to win 1st place for the first time with their 2nd official album, ‘Neverland’.

>> Lyrics : U-Kiss – “Neverland” English translation & Romanization

If you follow me you’ll know, I promise

I will show you, in a fantasy like fairytale (come here girl)

Everyday, tomorrows like today

Money love fashion fame, and all that’s in between

Nights without sleep, throughout this night

Tell the DJ turn it up up up and da-da-dance a little more

More nights, through more nights

Money love fashion fame, and all that’s in between

(Oh you) I will only go with you (A fantasy that isn’t far away)

To this word full of imagination

Without an end, never end, this is Neverland

Come on, come on, don’t hesitate and grab my hand

Through the forest of buildings in the sky, I will fly

Everything you believe is reality

Scattered beneath your feet are hundreds of millions of stars

Nights without sleep, throughout this night

Tell the DJ turn it up up up and da-da-dance a little more

More nights, through more nights

You will be a girl forever, girl and we stay forever young

(Oh you) I will only go with you (A fantasy that isn’t far away)

To this word full of imagination

Without an end, never end, this is Neverland

When you first open your eyes you won’t believe it

It’s only I will say by your side

Nobody will nag at you, yeah.

Just do it all my way.

You, me and the DJ dancing till the break of dawn

No, no, never gonna stop now. Turn it up, let’s party on.

I will only go with you (A fantasy that isn’t far away)

To this word full of imagination

Without an end, never end, this is Neverland

Without an end, never end, this is Neverland
