K-One's main talent lies in their dancing seeing as how they do all their choreography on their own and are known as the best dancers in all of the Taiwanese entertainment industry. K-One has released three albums and a fourth compilation album with only three or four new songs on it. Their first album was released in 2003, but the second album wasn't released until 2005 (under new management), but since then they've steadily released an album a year. A full discography can be found at Wikipedia. And AF's K-One photo album can be found here

I'm surprised there isn't a thread here about them! K-One are pure love and their dancing is so much fun! Their singing is all right too! I don't mind it; they have equal parts rapping and singing. They've also dabbled in acting with all of K-One acting in the TWdrama "Top of the Forbidden City" (2004); Gino acting in "Prince Turns to Frog" (Wang Zi Bian Qing Wa) (2005); Gino again in "Smile Pasta"; Liyang in "Legend of the Star Apple"; and JR also co-hosts a Taiwanese variety show "Wan Quan Yu Le" (All Entertainment).

haha. I want to spread the K-One love because I think they are the one group in Taiwan that actually CAN dance well as a group and individually (they are all so much love <3!)

Here's a few video links (all youtube; they've been around for awhile, so sorry about all the links! you don't have to watch all of them, even though I highly recommend them all...!):

"Memorial Day" MV (ballad, but it's a really cute video too!)

"Look Into My Eyes" MV (dancing song)

dancing to Rain's "It's Raining" and a brief clip of a Shinhwa song

*this performance is pretty classic, but it's a bit of a gag performance =D
I think K-One gets a lot of their inspiration from Kpop. They seem to be fans of Rain (I read somewhere that they practice dancing to his songs a lot?).

I'm such a fan~~...
((apologies if there's already a K-One thread, but it's not pinned in the Index if there is!))

[heartdrops]

I don't usually listen to their music but I love their 最愛是你 song. It's so good.

Thanks everyone! I really want to spread the K-One love because I ADORE them. Especially out of Taiwan, their dancing can really contest the pan-Asian dancing market. I mean, all of them are soo good at dancing! Oh, and their new songs are adorable.

*cough* just to spark up some fun conversation (or bashing or whatever)... hehe K-One did a remix/cover of TVXQ's "O" called "Turbo." haha. It's on youtube and BOYOBOY are people angry about it. Whatever, K-One did a really great job and their dancing in that video is nothing short of AWESOME!

Oh, and my favorites are Gino and Liyang. I'm such a sucker for the pretty boys and the filial boys.
