Blush was a Hong Kong-based Asian girl group originally composed of five members from the Philippines, India, China, Japan, and South Korea. They were formed by FarWest Entertainment in 2010 with the intent of popularizing an Asian vocal act in the United States as well as in all of Asia. They perform in the English language and the members currently reside in Los Angeles, California.[4][5] A reality show called Project Lotus: The Search for Blush[6] about how the band was formed premiered on Channel V on March 8, 2012. They were the first Asian group to have its debut single hit the top 3 on a major US Billboard chart when "Undivided" featuring Snoop Dogg reached No. 3 on the Billboard Dance/Play Chart. Their second single, "Dance On", reached No. 1 on that chart.[7]
Blush was formed by FarWest Entertainment in 2010 with the intent of popularizing an Asian vocal act in the United States and Asia as well as the rest of the world. They were formed through a selection process called Project Lotus, who were tasked with finding "Asia's Spice Girls". Five representatives from South Korea were selected as judges and trainees who traveled to different parts of Asia including China, Japan and India. One of the judges was rock singer Yoon Do-hyun of the South Korean rock band YB.[8]
Blush has released seven singles, the two most popular (according to YouTube views) being "Miss Out" (441,000 views) and "Undivided" (425,000 views) as of May 2013.
On May 24, 2013, at the Singapore Social awards, produced by Starcount, Blush performed alongside Carly Rae Jepsen, Cee Lo Green, and Psy. The concert was held at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore for four hours and was attended by 8,000 people. It was broadcast live on YouTube, peaking at around 12,000 people watching. They performed their singles "Warrior" and "All Stars" among others with mixed reception.[9]
In 2015, Jihae left the group and was replaced by Nikita Vecino from the Philippines. The group went on to provide the theme song for Netflix animated series Glitter Force, which was Saban's English dub version of the anime Smile Pretty Cure. The song titled "HERE WE GO… (GO! GO!)" premiered along with the series on December 15.[10] The group quietly disbanded sometime in 2017 after a long period of inactivity following their last performance in Hong Kong.[11]
