Cross Gene
Cross Gene (Korean: 크로스진; stylized as CROSS GENE) is a boy band based in South Korea which debuted on June 11, 2012. Signed under Amuse Korea, the group debuted as a sextet but currently consists of only two members: Shin and Yongseok. Shin is the only member still under their label, Amuse Korea. They released their debut mini-album Timeless: Begins in 2012, which peaked at #8 on the Gaon weekly album chart.
On May 26, 2012, Amuse Korea revealed that they would be debuting a multinational group consisting of South Korean, Japanese and Chinese singers. Among the members is Shin Won-ho (Shin), an actor who had previously appeared in television dramas and advertisements. Terada Takuya, an Amuse model and actor, was also announced in the lineup and upon Cross Gene's debut became the first fully Japanese K-Pop idol. The entertainment company explained the meaning behind the group's name, stating that the group would "cross the superior genes of each country to create one perfect group". Cross Gene originally consisted of three South Korean members, two Chinese members and one Japanese member.
On June 7, the group held their first showcase at the Ax Korea concert hall. They released their first mini-album Timeless: Begins on June 8. Ten days later, a limited-edition version of the mini-album was released. Timeless: Begins debuted at #9 on the Gaon weekly albums chart, and peaked at #8 the following week.
In January 2013, Amuse Korea announced that Seyoung would be joining Cross Gene as a new member. He replaced J.G., who left Cross Gene to start a career as a solo artist. Following J.G.'s departure, Takuya stepped down as the leader and the position was given to Shin instead.
On February 27, Cross Gene released their Japanese debut single, "Shooting Star". The song was performed for the first time during a promotional event for the Korean drama Big in Japan. Their Japanese single album was released on March 13, followed by the digital single "Crazy" on the May 29. On May 31, Cross Gene held their first Japanese Concert, Cross U, at Shibuya O-East, during which the group spoke about J.G. leaving and the change in leadership.
On August 1, Cross Gene released the digital single "Dirty Pop", followed by a special photobook CD, With U. The photobook was a limited release that was not made available outside of concert venues until late 2014. Cross Gene held two more concerts – With U on 22 August at Shibuya Public Hall and an encore performance on 31 August at Umeda Club Quattro. The Shibuya Public Hall concert would later be released on DVD in the same photobook format as the With U EP.
Cross Gene Planet, the official Japanese fansite, was launched on September 2.

During November, Cross Gene also started activities in China, performing for ATV at the Mr. Asia contest. They also held a fanmeeting and performance at the Dragon Centre in Hong Kong.
