Korean media see A-PRINCE as part of the next Hallyu wave?

After Korean news websites took notice of A-PRINCE being chosen by Japan’s public broadcast station NHK for coverage even before A-PRINCE’s official debut, several Korean articles are wondering if A-PRINCE will be be part of the new Hallyu wave.

Over the course of about two months, the coverage of A-PRINCE for the K-Pop part of “Jiku Ichiban” (a Japanese TV program of NHK) was filmed. A-PRINCE represented Korea’s idols in the program focusing on information about idols.
Even with the recording time being lengthened on hot summer days, A-PRINCE never lost their passion which caught the attention of the filming crew.

The MC for the K-Pop part of “Jiku Ichiban” was Martin Friedman of the legendary rock band Metallica and Megadeth’s guitarist. Throughout the filming process, he showed a lot of attention and affection towards A-PRINCE and even created a topic by personally presenting a song which he composed.
