Excerpt:

SunMin and Zhang Li Yin, two rising teen pop stars of different nationality, have taken meaningful steps to become "the next big things" in the Asian pop music scene.

Eighteen-year-old Korean SunMin (Lee Sun-min) made her sensational debut in Korea through "SBS Ingigayo," on which she and Shin Hye-sung (a member of the famous boy band Shinhwa) performed a duet on her song "Keep Holding U." Ten days later, 16-year-old Chinese R&B sensation Zhang Li Yin fascinated Korean audiences with her charming stage presence and great vocal talent on Saturday, as she sang her debut single "Timeless" on MBC's "Show! Musical Central."
