- Now United got formed by this awesome man
named Simon Fuller,
and he managed the Spice Girls,
created 'American Idol,' 'So You Think You Can Dance.'
He wanted to make the first-ever global pop group.
- One thing special about us,
because we're from different countries,
we have multilingual songs,
where we got to sing in different languages,
and we try to put in the culture's sounds into our songs.
So, one of our songs,
you can hear the African beats,
and then one of our songs,
you can hear the Latina vibes, and -
- Even Middle Eastern.
- Yeah, Middle Eastern vibes.
And we always go to the country
to film a music video about it, too.
So, I think that's pretty cool
and what's special about us.
- On our first tour ever,
we actually visited every single member
of the original 14's countries, right?
- Yup. - Yeah.
- Yeah.
- But now we got new members,
so we need to visit those.
- Ivory Coast.
- Melanie's from Ivory Coast, we haven't been there yet,
and Australia.
- We haven't been to Lebanon.
- [Any] And Lebanon, yeah. - Lebanon, yes.
- The group is a lot about love and positivity
and how we can be together
no matter our differences.
So, we try to take that with music
because we also believe
that music is the universal language.
I mean, everybody listens to some kind of music,
so we might as well just put a positive message into it.
- [Sina] Yeah.
- Yes.
What's up, MTV News?
We are Now United,
and here are the top seven things to know about us.
- The first thing you need to know about us
is that we're all from different countries.
I'm from Korea and it's always an honor,
and a lot of pressure, to represent our countries,
but it's always so much fun learning different cultures.
- The second thing you should know about us
is that we have 17 members in this group.
17 is a lot of people,
but it's also really cool.

we're actually going to be 18 really soon.
A new member from Spain,
which we're all really excited about.
