Info ZE:A ^^

History
Pre-debut

Under the name Child of Empire, following their appearance on Mnet's Office Reality the group gained attention by performing various guerilla shows and creating UCC videos. They have also appeared in a documentary-styled show 'Star Empire', and later getting their own documentary show titled 'Empire Kids Returns', showing them performing in wingcar performances around Seoul and training. The group faced controversy in December following the similarities of the group's name to Brown Eyed Girls's Jea. The group later changed the pronunciation of the name to avoid implications.




2010: Debut

Releasing teasers beforehand, the group debuted with their EP, Nativity under the name ZE:A, on 7 January 2010. Immediately they garnered attention, reaching #1 on both the Album Chart and Artist Chart on Daum on their debut day. They planned to have a comeback on March 25, 2010.

The group made a comeback in April with the release of their second mini album, Leap for Detonation. Produced by Brave Brothers, title song 'All Day Long' is melodramatic and featured a major change in style. The group's third single, "Level Up", was released on July 9, 2010.

The group have started off their asia promotion tour starting with Thailand at the end of July 2010. Future showcases and promotional events will occur in Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore and more in this tour.

The group will come out with a full album in the beginning of 2011.
