Huajiao.com, a live streaming platform and the creator of the TLBOYS, gives each robot a distinctive character, besides making them all versatile dancers and singers. For example, the robot BOBO is dubbed as a "walking encyclopedia", and TT has unusual strength and is good at kungfu. It's reported that the robot band is preparing their first album and will update fans about their progress through more live streaming. |
