[BTOB] Interview – Marie Claire August 2017 Issue

September 23, 2024

< “The end? We have never imagined it. We don’t think about that.” >
< “Since long ago, we pledged among members to make BTOB’s own path. If we look at any other idol group, many of them follow the route that their senior group has polished. But we have promised ourselves to do our own thing. Even though we still have a long way to go, but I think up until now, we have been doing a pretty good job in our own way,” said Hyunsik. >

Album Description
BTOB Returns with a Tension-Filled ‘Thriller’!

BTOB, who has been loved for their performances and vocal talents across various genres like dance and ballads through songs like Insane, Father, WOW, and Second Confession, is back. Having already earned recognition for their exceptional vocals, BTOB has opted for their “vocal allure” instead of a performance-driven comeback for their comeback.

1. 내가 니 남자였을 때 (When I Was Your Man)
In an unusual move, BTOB pre-release the track When I Was Your Man through a live performance on the radio before the album release. They even plan to surprise fans with impromptu live performances as part of a unique marketing strategy. While their comeback marketing showcases their sweet and soft “sweet guy” image, their official promotions will bring out their intense and powerful charm for their full-fledged activities.

2. 스릴러 (Thriller)
The title track of their third mini-album, Thriller, enhances the song’s quality by combining sharp and tense string sounds with the BTOB members’ rough vocals. The song’s composition which unfolds without pause along with the rapid and intense rap by Jung Ilhoon and Lee Minhyuk complete the thrilling tension of Thriller. The album image also fully showcases BTOB’s strong and mature masculinity that is latent.

3. 왜이래 (Why)
BTOB, who are talented in both songwriting and composing, took their first step as composers by directly participating in creating several tracks on this album. Notably, 왜이래 (Why) was co-produced by their Cube Entertainment senior, BEAST’s Lee Gikwang, and BTOB’s Lim Hyunsik, with Lee Minhyuk and Jung Ilhoon participated in writing lyrics. The song features a dreamy sound and a repetitive chorus that evokes a bittersweet emotion.

6. 별 (Star)
Inspired by BTOB trainee days, where it’s filled with fear of an uncertain future. They looked up at the shining stars in the night sky and began to dream. Star reflects BTOB’s story of how, just as they were dreaming of becoming someone, they realized that they too could become the dream for someone else.

Additionally, the album also includes a variety of BTOB’s music, such as the cleverly titled 내가 니 남자였을 때 – When I Was Your Man You Should Have Treated Me Better. The track Catch Me expresses the honest confession of a man in love. The uplifting 크리스탈같이 (Like a Crystal), a song with a melody which gives a feeling of falling in love with each listen.

BTOB, who has drawn a hot attention with every album release and continued to grow, is expected to shine brightly in 2013 with their dazzling activities!

Album Description
BTOB’s Warm Confession Song to Fans: Second Confession

After a successful year of various TV appearances and being recognized as one of the most anticipated idols, BTOB is releasing a digital single to celebrate their one-year debut anniversary, as a way to thank their fans for their support. Known for their powerful performances and solid vocal skills, BTOB places emphasis on “music that is meant to be heard” in this digital single, highlighting their vocals and rap.

The warm confession song Second Confession is a sweet track that gently tugs at the heartstrings and is full of the refreshing energy of spring. The song expresses the desire to return to an ex-lover, not only through the clever concept of a “second confession” but also by capturing the excitement of a man about to confess again, conveyed through witty lyrics. The vivid imagery in the lyrics allows listeners to easily picture scenes in their minds, bringing a smile to their faces as they listen. The soft melody and the spoken introduction also evoke memories of the 90s for those who grew up listening to the radio.

To convey the warmth of Second Confession, the music video features analog items like radios and postcards, capturing the nostalgic emotions of that time. Additionally, Denny Ahn from god, whom BTOB has long admired as their role model, made a special appearance in the music video teaser, raising anticipation for Second Confession. With Denny Ahn’s support and BTOB’s beautiful vocals, Second Confession is expected to resonate deeply with listeners who have been longing for “a good song,” and to receive widespread love.
