The clue to U-Kiss's ambition is in their name: Ubiquitous Korean International Idol SuperStar. They are considered the underdogs of the Korean boyband scene, but their following overseas is "something else", according to Scobie. Their fans, known as KissMe's, have turned to social media to spread the group's name, resulting in concerts in France, Thailand, the US, Colombia and Cambodia. Like many of their K-pop contemporaries, U-Kiss have a loyal following in Japan. If, as some expect, they make it in the US, chatshow appearances shouldn't be a problem: several members of the band speak English, including AJ, who recently took time off to study at Columbia University. Their new single, Stop Girl, released this month, was recorded in Korean and English, and is being promoted in 10 countries, including the US, China and Japan.
