"Leehoo and Kwanghee met each other in high school when they were both competing to become school uniform models. Taeheon was also friends with them since high school. I (Kevin) started in Sydney signed with a company that also had Russell Crowe and Olivia Newton John, and decided to come to Korea to join with ZE:A. In the beginning, ZE:A only had 5 members including Leehoo, Kwanghee, Taeheon, and myself. Our debut kept getting pushed back so the members split up and only Leehoo was left. Later on, Leehoo called us all back together. And Minwoo was waiting for the result of his JYP auditions when Leehoo suggested he audition for our current label. A week after that, he heard back from JYP that he had made the cut. Heecheol was auditioning to become an actor and Siwan, Dongjun, and Hyungsik were all discovered at music competitions." - Kevin | Hot Beat (x) “I believe we are uniquely fated to meet, like destiny. I first met Kwanghee at a uniform model meeting, and we became friends. At that time I was a trainee in another company. I left that company to joined Star Empire as a trainee with Kwanghee and Taehun. It was the opening of a new beginning.” - Leehoo (x) "Leehoo-hyung was the one who chose me. He saw my UCC dancing video and called me at 2AM. He said ‘I like your dancing image, and told me to sing a song. It was in the quiet morning and my whole family was sleeping, so I couldn’t sing. The following day I went to the audition and passed it.” - Minwoo (x) “Like dancer Minwoo, I call Kevin our ‘Foreign Vocal.’ I made my first international call to Australia, and persuaded him to come to Korea. At the time, I thought Kevin couldn’t or wouldn’t return to Korea. Then one day, when I was eating with the other members on the first floor (of Star Empire), Kevin walked in, saying ‘Hello.’ It was like a dream, the tears just fell down.” - Leehoo (x) 原文网址: http://forever-zea-nine.tumblr.com/post/98614207001/how-ze-a-was-formed 简而言之整理就是原先只有五名成员为光熙 李厚 泰宪 KEVIN 旼佑 光熙起初因为面容的关系每间公司都不收 是经历最久练习时间的练习生 有着非常强要成为艺人的意志 容忍了整容非常痛苦的手术 光熙和李厚是在校服选拔认识 李厚本来是DSP的练习生，被光熙叫来明星帝国， kevin是俊英第一次打国际电话把他找来 旼佑是俊英看到视频很欣赏半夜两点打电话给旼佑还叫他唱歌 後来旼佑有通过jyp的试镜但仍选择留在明星帝国还多次表示不会後悔这决定 时完是在大学的歌谣比赛虽未得名但被明星帝国挖掘 炯植是在高中的歌谣比赛有得名被很多公司挖掘但因为对演艺圈并没有太大企图 所以推掉不少公司的邀约，後来明星帝国是和炯植说 我们是需要你的公司 炯植後来也加入 熹哲以前是cy有名的美男 桐俊是男版韩佳人 怎麽被挖掘就不清楚了 曾经退出的确定有光熙、kevin、泰宪、熹哲 但也还好後来都回来 所以才有现在的ze:a！ --
