Band Bio:
Evo Nine is a new group, publicly debuting with their break-out single “Make You Dance” in early 2013, though the birth of Evo Nine actually happened quite a while ago. The Evo Nine project began with auditions in 2009 for talented members to join an upcoming boyband. Hundreds of boys passed the preliminary round and began going through rigorous training, while all the while every three months, trainees would be eliminated. After four years of fierce competition, the seven remaining members became Evo Nine as you know them.

Evo Nine is backed by an American production team headed by Glen Choi (aka DJ Nure) who has contributed to many successful artists in the past, including the Black Eyed Peas, Wonder Girls, and Kanye West. They’re also trained by Korean choreographer Park Seung Min, while their debut music video for their song “Make You Dance” was written and produced by Korean production company Zanybros, who have been responsible for many successful Kpop music videos. Co-produced by both a Thai and Korean producer (Ratchapol Chitpuengtham and Ko Hee Jong), it’s no wonder Evo Nine has a strong taste of the Kpop flavor currently so popular throughout Asia, and they’re bound to appeal to many.

The origin of their name is quite clever; “Evo” is short for “Evolution,” and the number 9 in Thai is pronounced “gao,” which is pronounced the same as the Thai word ก้าว (Gao), which means “to advance” or “move forward,” thus “Evo Nine” = “The evolution of moving forward.” They kept the English pronunciation of “Nine,” as it is pronounced similar to the Thai word นาย (nai) which means “Mister” or “male,” which also implies that the group is the evolution of boybands.

 
Though I’m still resisting the Hallyu craze, I respect the time and effort both the members and staff has put into the group, and it’s nice to see a hybrid Thai-Korean company working together so well like that that I do have to give them props. I especially like that their song has perfect English grammar and their pronunciations are pretty completely understandable and not horribly marred by nonsensical Engrish and thick accents like a lot of other groups. Evo Nine has a lot of big names supporting them, so I think they have a lot of potential to make it big not only in Thailand, but perhaps internationally as well~ Only time will tell!
