►►Child of Empire is NOT “Ze:A”, but rather “Children of Empire” [members info added!]

Allkpop failed again…what can I say? =.=;

Children of Empire (yes that’s their name) will be releasing their MV teaser on Jan 5th so get to know more about the members before their long awaited debut. Some people expressed interest in learning more about them so I compiled together information and pictures from various sources into a helpful guide below.

But first, I’d like to clear up the FALSE claim made by allkpop that they changed their name to ZE:A. According to their international forum (Royal 9), ZE:A comes from JeA (제의) which is an abbreviation for Jegugui Aideul (제국의 아이들) or “Children of Empire”. So ZE:A is only a shorthand. Their name is still “Children of Empire” like it says on the album cover. Also, their label obviously realized “Child Of Empire” was grammatically incorrect which is why they’re now using “Children”.
