Now dearALICE, made up of Blaise Noon, Dexter Greenwood, Olly Quinn, James Sharp and Reese Carter, are here to take on the challenge and they’ve already won over girls across the nation - as well as their mums.
Sam also revealed his new album came from the emotional experience of losing a loved one back home in North Shields.
The experience was shown in the BBC One series Made In Korea: The K-Pop Experience, which you can still watch on iPlayer, and last month they played to a crowd of 50,000 in Seoul.
The group have today (Fri) released their debut single Ariana and they joined me in Bizarre HQ to talk about it, following an incredible 2024 which saw them appear in their own BBC series and perform on Strictly Come Dancing.
“But originally the song was written about somebody that’s obsessed with celebrity culture and somebody who was in love with someone that is obsessed with celebrity culture and the image of Ariana.”.
