[ASKKPOP] A.KOR reveal their thoughts on changed concept, their international fan base + express admiration for EXID

Kemysaid about EXID, "We went around to military base events and promoted around the same time as EXID and we were very jealous. We were able to see that if you really work hard consistently, then at one point your work will shine. EXID is like our living textbook. We also want to become a group that can have an impact on other idol groups."

When talking about their change in concept from hip-hop girls to bubbly girl-next-door for their recently released single "Always,"Da Yasaid, "The dark and strong image that we've shown in the past, it's not something that other girl groups can easily follow. So we take pride in [the concept]. I can't be saying that one is better than the other, but one thing is the same and that is that we want to look pretty in front of our fans."

During the interview, the A.KOR members also talked about their international fan base and their popularity overseas. It was reported that 70% of A.KOR's fans are based overseas and the group has been garnering much more interest amongst the international fans than domestic fans.

Minjoosaid, "Because of the K-Pop wave, we've gained international fans. They would send us cakes and even come see us at our first broadcasting from overseas. We would receive a more passionate response from overseas than in Korea so it was interesting."

Meanwhile, A.KORrecently made a comeback with a sexy, and bubbly single,"Always" and the girls have received a lot of interest for their transformed image.
