[INTERVIEW] BTOB, Everything's just beginning! Pay attention to them.


"These young people are very pretty and good-looking"

The company gives the permission for BTOB (Seo Eunkwang,Lee Minhyuk,Lim Hyunsik,Peniel,Jung Ilhoon and Yook Sungjae) to take a small walk around it and also take pictures at the park nearby. They are the young people with beautiful manners who are making their way into the music industry.

They captivated all of the attentions of music fans after had a spectacular debut showcase with their debut song “Insane” and the also with the release of their latest song, “Father”.

BTOB who is filled with energy and charms, as well as good skills in singing and dancing, is planning to show a new look to the music industry.


There seems a lot of changes after the debut.
Ilhoon: “My lifestyle has changed a lot,compared to before debut. I need to behave myself according to people expectation. We are trying very hard to monitor our broadcast so that we can counteract any mistakes we could have done, in order to show a better performances. And before this i don't pay attention to my appearance,i just wear my tracksuit, but now i start to wear more proper and stylish clothes in order to take care of our image and i also ask opinions from the member (laughs).”


Their happiest time is when they have broadcasting activities and met with their favourite seniors.
Minhyuk: “ i was very happy when i met the legendary senior group, Shinhwa. It was very cool. They told me to work hard and shows me what being a singer looks like. They also received our greetings well. They seems like they haven't changed even after 14 years, and still being together and proud of it.”



Now that they have debuted brilliantly into the industry,they cannot guess what could happened to them next and they cannot see the end of the tunnel.It feels like experiencing the same feeling walking down on the road which never been taken.

Eunkwang: “ i have a lot of worries about my future if i fail to debut, about what could happened next, whether i need to get another job or not. But i'm able to survive because of my dream.”

Sungjae: “ i want to give commitment both to my study and practice. I know it is difficult, but i want to do my best”

Hyunsik: “There were times when i felt frustrated and anxious, but i now i feel so thrilled and happy with our debut activities. When i saw my parents came to my showcase, i felt really happy at that time.”

Like a boat which sail through the water, the members learn each other's strengths and complement each others. We also depends on each other if anyone is about to fall. Especially Peniel, who we can pictured as crayons, remembers and know how to describe each member.

Changsub: “ Peniel is very kind.If we are to compare him with several colours of crayons, he gives us this feeling of strength. He is really polite and know his own weakness, so he always try to compensate the them by taking care of us. It's good.”


This is only the beginning. BTOB will show you that the world is limitless. I am also curious about what we can show in the future.

Peniel: “We would like to be known more in Korea. Some other members in other group have experienced acting in the sitcoms, so i also want to try acting in a sitcom in the future. We also want to stand and perform on a lot of stages in various countries.Apart from dancing and singing, we also plan to show the skills of our members handling various musical instruments in the future.”
