Information

Before the group debuted it was announced that two former members of Xing (Ki Bum, who is also known for being the younger brother to SS501 member Kim Hyung Joon, and Kevin) would be joining the group.

U-Kiss's official debut was with the mini album New Generation, released on September 3, 2008. They released their second mini album, Bring It Back 2 Old School, a few months later, on February 3, 2009. In October of 2009 U-Kiss announced on their official website that a new member, Lee Ki Sub, would join the group as well as their comeback mini album. The mini album, Conti Ukiss, was released on November 5, 2009.

They released their first digital single "Without You" in January 27th, 2010. The single was a teaser for their first full album, U-Kiss Only One Album, released a week later.

In February 2011 it was announced the withdrawal of Alexander and Ki Bum. It was said that Alexander decided to leave for personal reasons, and to pursue his studies. Ki Bum, through his own personal Twitter left a message regarding his decision of leaving the group: "[...] To start with the point, I've come to an agreement with my company to end my contract since February 2011. They wanted a change of members and I agreed to it. Since that day I was not part of U-KISS any longer. [...] I neither quit because of my company nor because I lost interest in U-KISS. [...] But I'm lacking in many points and I respect my former company's decision to switch members."

In March 7, 2011, two new members were announced, AJ, former member of the group PARAN, and Hoon, a former solo singer.

In September, AJ announced that he's going on hiatus to go to college until 2013 where he will return and continue activities with the group.
