South Korean hip-hop boy band JJCC, formed by Hollywood star Jackie Chan, is seeking to change its manly image with the upcoming album release.

Its label Jackie Chan Group Korea released a group photo of the band on its Facebook, showing the new concept of the quintet.

In the photo, JJCC has turned into cute boys, making comical gestures in a departure from its powerful and manly image.

The boys will return to the music scene on Jan. 14, five months after releasing their debut EP “At First.”

Chan launched the boy band -- E.co, Eddy, SimBa, San-Cheong and Prince Mak -- in March 2014 after training them for several years.

The Chinese action movie star, known to be a longtime fan of K-pop, reportedly helped plan the concept, scouted the members and played a role in producing its debut album.
