Official U-KISS (유키스) Thread

[Starry Skies]

One of Kiseop and Hoon's mvs was released in Japan, which means it will be released on Youtube soon  We finally got Jun's teaser pics for UNB's comeback too. To top it all off Jun joined Kiseop's instalive again and it was super adorable. So many updates in one day hehe.

Yeah I agree, also most members have been in the industry for so long that they don't care what people think and say whatever they want 

Lol exactly. I remember past interviews where they would hold back a bit to protect their idol image but now they are so unfiltered and it makes them even more hilarious. I think Soohyun and Hoon, possibly even Jun, would be great MCs as well. They do so well hosting Ukiss's varieties in Japan but I wish they would get the same opportunities in Korea.

[Starry Skies]

The music video is out!!! I was so confused at first because the song suddenly changed so much in the middle but it turns out it's a 2in1 mv lol. Avex is just trying to trick us into thinking we have a full mv by sticking parts of two songs in one mv

 

Both songs sound so good. Train is stuck in my head and I wasn't expecting all those harmonies in Milk Tea Hoon and Kiseop did a great job.

[Starry Skies]

So Hoon and Kiseop's sub unit name is 2U (to you)!!!  

They already arrived in Japan for their promotions

 

Kevin arrived in Japan too

 

It's really strange knowing that Jun, Hoon/Kiseop, and Kevin will be promoting in Japan at the same time but as separate groups/artists.

[Starry Skies]

Soohyun once again proving he is a great leader. He probably isn't able to get online often yet he is still updated with the other members' activities.

And finally when we think Eli is missing out on all the fun, Xander gifts us with this precious interaction

"BOOM! Surprised huh? LOL~ Been a long while, but feels like just yesterday. ì•  ì•„ë¹ ê°€ ë˜ëŠ”ë° ì•„ì§ ì•„ì €ì”¨ ëŠë‚Œì€ 없어서 신기하다~ ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹
#Xander #Eli #UKISS #LongTimeNoSee #FeelsLikeYesterday #reunion #MatterOfTime "

[Starry Skies]

Loving all the interaction between past and present members  hope to see more next month on their ten year anniversary 

 

 

I thought it was too good to be true when I saw the 5 min lol, love 2U 

Me too. They're all so precious hehe. Imagine if they all reunited for a ten year anniversary performance. That's probably too much to ask for but we could dream lol.

 

I think the only full mvs avex ever uploaded were Fly and No Regret practice version   The full songs are available are on Spotify now and they sound great though.

[Starry Skies]

Ukiss Japan instalived 2U's live performance of Train and Milk Tea!

I'm not too sure what chart this is, but Train and Milk Tea recently ranked 1st and 2nd.

Kiseop's Youtube channel is also open. I believe he'll be uploading another video on the 9th

[Starry Skies]

Jun's OST was released!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpNl79_DjAA

His voice sounds so nice.   I'm glad he got to sing an OST for his drama.

[Starry Skies]

I've probably said this already, but I'm gonna say it again. I really appreciate how Ukiss Japan has been sharing Ukiss's live performances through instalive lately.

 

It looks like 2U's promotions in Japan have come to an end. Hoon and Kiseop are back in Korea.

Meanwhile Jun is headed back to Korea I think. I'm not even sure where he is going because the poor kid has constantly been flying back and forth for UNB and Goodbye to Goodbye schedules.

New video from Kiseop

I'm really looking forward to the next video because after Kiseop ditched his date at an amusement park in Ukiss Vampire, I never thought I'd see Kiseop at an amusement park again

[Starry Skies]

Hoon mentioned he was recording something in his recent instagram post. Could this mean there is a possibility for a comeback I sure hope so.

"#kissme #ukiss
레코딩 í™”ì´íŒ…!!
키스미 보고싶다~~"

[Starry Skies]

Wow, sales are really good with just the two of them 

Hope there will be an comeback too 

I'm staying hopeful since it seems like NH is starting to give their other artists comebacks. Maybe they'll get a comeback when Jun is able to promote with them again. I just hope that if/when they comeback, the company actually puts some more effort into their promotions.

[Starry Skies]

Yes and also need to get them on more variety shows 

 

I also saw NH will have a new boy group soon with nine members, I wonder why back in the day they keep Ukiss as seven?

Yes! I've been watching UNB on all these variety shows lately and it made me realize just how much I miss seeing Ukiss on Korean variety shows.

 

I saw it too and I already feel bad for the new group. NH can't even manage the groups they have now, so I doubt they'll be able to handle a nine member group well.

I've asked myself the same thing. They lost so many fans when Kibum and Xander were kicked out but I never understood why they had to kick them out of the group just to add Hoon and AJ. I'll never understand their decisions but Ukiss are definitely strong for dealing with such a messy company for this long.

[Starry Skies]

They sound so good.

A different MV for Jun's OST was released!

Speaking of variety shows I wish Ukiss would get an opportunity to appear on Immortal Songs again. They've grown a lot vocally since then but haven't had the opportunity to show their growth. How amazing would it be to have a vocal performance from Soohyun, Hoon, Kiseop, and Jun. Eli could join too or do a rap like Dongho did for their last performance on IS.

 

 

Anyway, poor Kiseop lost the footage he was planning to upload on his Youtube channel. He seemed so upset on his ig post.

[Starry Skies]

He got the footage back! Or maybe he didn't lose all of it. Either way, we have a new Kishowbang video

I don't even understand what they're saying but I'm still laughing . Whoever edits these videos deserves some praise. That clip from ukiss vampire   lol

[Starry Skies]

Kiseop and Hoon did IG lives!

Hoon and Eli appeared in Kiseop's live.They were practicing for their upcoming Japanese tour and Jun was leaving comments  I miss seeing them together.

Full live

 

 

I love how they always speak at least three languages whenever they do IG lives 

part 2

 

[Starry Skies]

New Kishowbang video!!

His other videos have already been subbed by fans 

 I'm glad that the members are staying busy and connecting with the fans through instalives and youtube videos. Jun's drama will be ending soon so hopefully he can rest a bit before he has to film for Law of the Jungle.

[Starry Skies]

I'm really looking forward to Jun being on Law of the Jungle. He so cheerful, the cast members will love him.

Me too  .I don't think I've seen a full episode of Law of the Jungle before aside from a few clips so I'm not too sure what to expect. If it comes down to cooking though, we know he is capable since he has been cooking for the UNB members lately. His only weakness will be his fear of bugs 

[Starry Skies]

It's a pretty relaxed show, not much drama. It just mainly about them building a shelter and hunting/cooking food in the wild.

I'm excited to see him on such a well known show. I feel like his hard work is slowly paying off. Who knows, maybe he'll even surprise us with a new skill while he's there 

[Starry Skies]

Since I haven't done so in a while, I'll share some of the members' IG Updates

ELI

I can't believe how big Minsoo is  So cute!

New Kishowbang video!

I'm liking vlogger seop   

[Starry Skies]

After a lot of hard work and some schedule clashes, Jun's drama has officially ended. I'm glad he got to challenge a new role and was able to grow close with the other actors and staff on set. The interactions between him and the young actress who plays his half sister are just too adorable.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to watch this video with a straight face 

 

Now that his drama and UNB promotions have ended, Jun has reunited w/ the Ukiss members to practice for their upcoming tour!
