Cross Gene introduced their new Korean member Seyoung on January 16.

Seyoung participated in his first photoshoot with the group for their Japanese debut. He introduced himself as the 22-year-old Seyoung, and then joked, "I'm trying to work as hard as the other members, but my confidence is dropping".

The interview also showed him practicing Japanese, with the other members helping him out. Seyoung will be replacing Chinese member J.G., who has decided to leave the group to pursue solo activities.

Cross Gene's official fancafe said, "Starting with this album, J.G will not be participating in any activities. We want to thank all of you fans who have loved J.G of Cross Gene. he will start walking towards a new path as a singer. Please continue giving J.G your interest and love."

The group received some attention in 2012 as they're a multi-national group consisting of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese members.

They're planning to officially debut in Japan in March. Welcome Seyoung to the group!
