In the K-pop industry, one key element to success might be to stand out from the hundreds of idol groups debuting each year. One girl group did just that and has been stirring much buzz on various online communities and social media platforms.
The four-member girl group Cosmosy made their Korean music show debut on April 11 and immediately grabbed the attention of K-pop fans and netizens with their unique elf-concept. The four-member girl group showcased the performance of their debut track, "Lucky=One," on KBS's 'Music Bank,' and sparked a discussion online. Cosmosy consists of four Japanese members: Amei, Kamión, Himesha, and De_Hana. They're under NTT Docomo Studio & Live and Sony Music Entertainment Korea.
Complete with elf ears, colored contacts, and blonde wings, Cosmosy brought to the stage a concept rarely attempted to this extent in K-pop. Their unique look succeeded in garnering attention, with Korean netizens gathering to find information on the group.
Korean netizens commented:
"This is a K-pop group with all Japanese members. I guess they're going with the XG concept. An all Japanese members K-pop group. lol."
"This is like Temu level cosplay."
"I wonder if they did this cosplay to be funny."
"They look like they dressed up for a comedy skit."
"How did they manage to appear on 'Music Bank'? They're not even Korean."
"They should've just dyed their hair instead of wearing obvious wigs."
"If they were going to go for the unique concept, at least make it high quality."
"I guess they are targeting a specific kind of fan..."
"I'm glad they were not Korean."
"Was this the best they could have done?"
"They caught our attention at least."
"I was about to feel bad for this group, but suddenly understood their concept once I learned they were Japanese. lol."
"What in the..."
"Their wigs look a bit cheap."
"That concept needs a lot of capital to make it work... maybe not..."
