f(x) .

After the massive success LG had with the release of their Lollipop cellphone with the help of the Big Bang + 2NE1 combo earlier this year, it seems as though the company wants to try their luck with the same produect overseas in China!

However, instead of the YG family combination, SM Entertainment's fresh girl group f(x) and up and coming Chinese boy group M.I.C will be teaming up to promote the phone. Now, we're all very familiar with the ladies of f(x), but what about this boy group?

Well, M.I.C consists of 6 boys that have gone through 3 years of intense training under the established Chinese record label, Tai Rey. After enlisting the help of several American choreographers and the best Chinese songwriters, M.I.C was born. Much like 2NE1, these boys will be making their debut through this CF for LG's Lollipop in China, with f(x) acting as the "Big Bang" figure of sorts, if you want to make comparisons.

Profiles of the 6 guys have been released for those curious, so check 'em out below. Much love to cfensi for the information:

While the boys themselves seem like fairly talented guys and all that good stuff, by the looks of this behind-the-scenes video, it seems as though the CF to be released in China follows the same exact concept as YG family's Lollipop MV, overdosing on bright colors and eccentric wardrobe choices. However, what sets the two videos apart is the song. f(x) and M.I.C will be promoting a different version of Lollipop in Chinese! It's got a pretty infectious hook and you definitely don't need to know Chinese to sing along.

For now, let's try not to judge what this future CF will bring and enjoy the making-of video below! Watch until the very end to catch a glimpse of the actual CF as well.
