F&F Entertainment recently announced that #UNIS will debut this coming March 27th.
It will be F&F Entertainment's first #Kpop#idol group and first girl group. F&F Entertainment is a subsidiary of the clothing brand, F&F.
The UNIS line-up is half-foreign, half-Korean: 2x Japanese; 3x Koreans; 1x half-Filipino/Korean; 2x Filipinos. They were from the #UniverseTicket talent search / survival show which concluded back in January.
This will also be the first time, as far as I know, that we will see a medium-to-dark brown member in the K-pop industry, which the judges, like #KimSeJeong, super liked.
The members have a 2½ years contract with the possibility of extending it. Currently, they are more popular abroad (outside #SouthKorea). Thus, it remains to be seen how they will fare in #Korea's K-pop idol scene; as that market is the primary basis for K-pop success (not foreign countries).
F&F Entertainment is also planning debut tours(?) in the #Philippines and #Japan, where 4 of their members (2x respectively) hails from.
I think their success abroad is already a given, thus, F&F Entertainment may want to plan on targeting foreign markets as Plan B if they happen to not get highly ranked in the South Korean market. For one, their planned date is in-between the debut of new groups (March) and the comebacks of powerhouses (April).
