Seoul, South Korea - In a shocking announcement, popular Kpop group 'Rainbow Explosion' revealed that they added PidPieLuke, a clown, and Momo, a robot, to their lineup as part of a charity initiative aimed at improving the public's opinion of clowns and robots.
The announcement has divided fans of the group, with some praising their humanitarian efforts and others worried about the potential for pie-throwing mishaps during live performances.
Rainbow Explosion's manager, Lee Soo-hyun, defended the decision, "We believe that entertainment should not only be about making people happy, but also about promoting positive change in society. PidPieLuke and Momo are both talented performers who just happen to belong to groups that have been stigmatized in the past. We hope that by including them in our lineup, we can help break down those barriers and show the world that clowns and robots can be just as awesome as humans."
PidPieLuke, a former circus performer, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, "I've always wanted to be part of a Kpop group, but I never thought it would actually happen. Plus, it's for a good cause! I hope we can show people that clowns are not just creepy and weird, but also fun and talented."
Momo, a state-of-the-art robot designed to mimic human emotions, echoed his sentiments, "I am thrilled to be part of Rainbow Explosion. As a robot, I have always struggled with being accepted by humans. But now, I have the chance to prove that I can be just as entertaining as any human performer."
The addition of PidPieLuke and Momo to the group has already sparked controversy on social media. Some fans have expressed their concern about the potential for pie-throwing mishaps during live performances, while others have criticized Rainbow Explosion for using charity as a way to boost their popularity.
Despite the backlash, Rainbow Explosion remains committed to their decision. "We understand that not everyone will agree with us, but we believe that diversity is what makes Kpop so special. We hope that other groups will follow our lead and start including performers from all walks of life," Lee concluded.
It remains to be seen how the inclusion of PidPieLuke and Momo will affect Rainbow Explosion's popularity, but one thing is for sure - this is one Kpop group that is definitely thinking outside the box.
