Seoul: Rookie group X:IN is currently promoting their debut single, “Keeping The Fire,” after releasing a pre-debut track, “Who Am I?” in March.
The group’s five members were all previously in the line-up for GBK Entertainment‘s pre-debut group MEP-C before their profiles were removed earlier this year, and the company confirmed they chose to terminate their contracts.
Shortly afterward, they were announced as members of X:IN, a multi-national K-Pop girl group under ESCROW Entertainment.
Member Aria recently interviewed with KOREA NOW, the official English YouTube channel of Yonhap News, and opened up about moving from India to Korea to become a K-Pop idol.
Aria was born in Kerala, India, and revealed that she moved to Korea only “six or seven months ago.”
Aria trained for only six months before making her debut, revealing that catching up with the other trainees was challenging, but she feels like she has now.
Before debuting as a K-Pop idol, she was a child actress in India. She shared that a movie she was in, Melvilasom, has recently received renewed interest, leading people to discover her new career path.
