The UK boy group ‘DEAR ALICE,’ launched in collaboration between SM Entertainment, Kakao Entertainment’s North American subsidiary, and the British entertainment company MOON&BACK (M&B), held a press conference on the morning of the 1st (local time) at the Soho Hotel in London.
During the event, the first episode and performance video of the six-part TV series ‘Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience,’ which documents DEAR ALICE’s journey to debut and will air in August on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, were revealed. Additionally, the group’s name ‘DEAR ALICE’ and its five members were introduced for the first time.
DEAR ALICE, a five-member group, consists of Blaise Noon (19), Dexter Greenwood (22), James Sharp (23), Oliver Quinn (20), and Reese Carter (20), with an average age of 21.
At the press conference, Dexter Greenwood shared, “The training at SM was an incredible journey for all of us. We received amazing support from SM’s staff and Korean personnel, which allowed us to have new experiences, and this process made the creation of a fantastic TV show and our team possible.” He also commented on Korea, saying, “Korea was truly amazing. I became deeply immersed in Korean culture, and everyone was so generous and kind that it really felt like a second home.”
Reese Carter added, “I visited Korea last year and worked as a dancer on a cruise, visiting several cities. Through these experiences, I realized the K-Pop industry has a massive infrastructure. You can feel the influence of K-Pop wherever you go.”
DEAR ALICE will begin their official activities starting with the broadcast of ‘Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience’ on BBC in August. The group plans to actively engage not only in the UK but also in the global music market.
