AOA to Attend 'Asia Super Showcase 2013' in Malaysia, 'Hopes to Have A Memorable Performance'

In December 2012, Asia Super Showcase, headlined by Super Junior M, EXO M and also BTOB was a huge success and this prompted the organizer, Marctensia, to hold the concert in a bigger scale. Earlier this year, it was announced that the next series of Asia Super Showcase is going to be held on 12th May in Stadium Merdeka, a much bigger venue to accommodate more K-Pop fans! 

In a press conference held earlier on 16th April, AOA, a Korean girl group that is set to be one of the three acts in the concert, was present to meet the Malaysian media. AOA (Ace of Angels) consists of Jimin, Mina, Hyejeong, Seolhyun, Chanmi, Choa, Youkyung and Yuna. However, Yuna and Youkyung was not able to attend the press conference. Greeting the crowd with "Selamat petang tuan-tuan dan puan-puan" (Good evening, ladies and gentleman), the six girls showed their cute and bubbly self on their very first visit to Malaysia, even thanking Malaysian fans for their support and concerns for their first overseas performance. 

Stating how AOA was different from other girl groups in a way that they have dance unit and band unit, Jimin said it enables them to do different versions of the songs at the same time. Regarding the meaning of their group name, Ace of Angels, they said that it signifies how they want to be the ace in Korean music industry, even if there are many other girl groups out there. For their first overseas performance in Malaysia, they said that they were nervous but proud when they were chosen to be one of the acts. Choa said that they want to create beautiful memories performing in Malaysia while Hyejeong said that they will be very happy and thankful if fans will sing along with them during the concert. 

When asked with whom they would like to collaborate, Hyejeong and Chanmi expressed interest in working with their labelmate seniors, namely FTISLAND and CNBLUE, while Jimin would like to work with Lee Hyori. Mina chose Um Jung Hwa while Seoulhyun would like to work with PSY. Choa mentioned wanting to work with many Korean artist but if there is an opportunity, she would like to work with famous Malaysian singers. 

Chanmi stated that in their trainee days, they practiced a lot in singing, acting and entertainment show. Since two of their members, Hyejeong and Seolhyun, were already doing dramas and another member, Yuna, currently a part of Summer Snow, a musical in Japan, it was not a surprise when they also expressed their intention to do more dramas or acting in the future. They also hoped that in the future, they would be able to improve their performances in music, acting and also other possible fields and show their best performance.

We'll definitely look forward to seeing AOA perform in Malaysia on 12th May in Stadium Merdeka and show us how they are different from other girl groups!
