There are angels among us, it seems. Ace of Angels (or AoA for short) is an upcoming 7+1 member girl group, or, more accurately, a group consisting of seven angels and one half-angel. Yep! That's right. Their website has a whole storyline of angelic happenings on fluffy clouds. AoA is the first girl group from FNC Entertainment, home to such artists as CN Blue, F.T. Island and the adorable Juniel. Their groups have been pretty unique and band/instrument-related, so one has to get a little intrigued about what AoA will actually sound like.
Profiles:
Note: Half-assed sources for much of the info, is what it is. What's REALLY confirmed is that they have fluffy wings.

Arrival of the angels! This raw field footage proves their divine origin.

Yeah, this concept sure is wacky. Reason I have my hopes up among this torrent of new k-pop groups is simply the previous artists of this company. Will the angels have a band? Will they actually be playing some instruments, like WATER GLASSES or the almighty RUTE?! Maybe we'll get some K-GOSPEL! Hallyulujah, bitches!
Well, guess we'll find out soon... :P
