I've been wanting to write about this for weeks (probably a month already) but I've been heavily tied to back-to-back tasks and assignments. So, here I am, stealing some of my scarce time, to write about an internet phenomenon called "귀요미". And there's a reason why I want to write about this. It's because the creator of the original 귀요미, the counting (known as 귀요미 Player), not the song, is none other than someone I adore as a fan of K-pop. You'll see.
귀요미 is a slang used by netizens to refer to someone cute. So, I guess you can say that the English equivalent to the word is "cutie".
My purpose of writing this post is divided into these:-
(1) To introduce the creator of 귀요미 to those who had no clue
(2) To distinguish between 귀요미 Player and 귀요미 Song
(3) To justify what 귀요미 is supposed to be about
All in all, I'm doing this because I feel like some individuals are taking it the wrong way and this 귀요미 deserves some justice. It's my own two cents and it might differ from yours (except for the facts on the creator, player, song, etc.). So, if you feel that you want to know the real 귀요미 just to get the record straight, read on. ^o^
--- The 귀요미 Prince ---
K-popper, particularly Melodies, already know this. The one who first introduced 귀요미 in the form of 귀요미 Player (Cutie Player), the addition counting, is the main rapper of BTOB named 정일훈 (Jung Il Hoon). He's a charismatic rapper on stage but when he's not rapping or beatboxing, he's such a darling with his boyish face and personality. In fact, he's the second youngest member of BTOB, born in October 1994. The first time his 귀요미 Player was publicly broadcasted was in a variety show by SBS MTV called "MTV Diary". In episode 24, [**Starting from minute 5:50 in the hyperlinked variety show's episode**] which was broadcasted in South Korea on the 9th of August 2012, 일훈 showed the "1 + 1 = 귀요미~" gesture till "7 + 7..." while all of BTOB members were signing their first mini albums at their agency building. He was then often requested to do the counting in other variety shows or talk shows. The counting went viral among idols and other celebrities in South Korea. Then, it became worldwide, thanks to the lovable and addictive gestures in it.
--- 귀요미 Player & 귀요미 Song ---
So, 귀요미 Player was created and introduced by the main rapper of BTOB. Since the counting was frequently shown on shows and interviews, other K-pop idols started to do their versions of it. Then, it spread to other celebrities, including actors, actresses, hosts, announcers, and so on. On the 18th of February 2013, about six months after the first public broadcast of 귀요미 Player by the 귀요미 Prince, a female South Korean singer named 하리 (Hari) from Danal Entertainment released the song version of 귀요미 and named it 귀요미 Song (Cutie Song). The song was inspired by 귀요미 Player and the addition counting gesture is also included in the song. By the time the 귀요미 Song was released, the "Gangnam Style" fever was starting to cool down. Quite a number of those who came across the 귀요미 Player and subsequently the 귀요미 Song decided to do their own covers of the 귀요미. On February 24th, Cube Entertainment revealed a video of the male version of 귀요미 Song by the 귀요미 Prince himself.
--- The True 귀요미 ---
In one of their interviews in December 2012 [An interview with 8TV Nite Life in Malaysia when BTOB came for Asia Super Showcase 2012 **Starting from minute 5:10 in the hyperlinked interview footage**], the 귀요미 Prince explained that he got the idea of doing the 귀요미 Player when a trainee friend suggested some time before his debut with BTOB that he should prepare something special for the fans. He thought of doing something new as a fan service, so he came up with the addition counting in his own style after his trainee friend showed him some 귀요미 moves. [Note: To non-fangirls or non-fanboys, a fan service is a gesture or a brief action done by an artist or a celebrity to tease or reward fans. Examples are winking, making heart signs, blowing flying kisses, giving intense eye contacts, showing peace signs, etc.] Since August 2012, 일훈, and sometimes the other BTOB members, often gets requests to do the 귀요미 counting on stage, during interviews, and on variety shows.
These are BTOB members doing 귀요미 poses.
The member with a cap, sitting in front, in the middle, is the 귀요미 Prince, 정일훈.
[Pictures are from Haru Hana magazine, vol. 16.]
Now, there are many versions and re-interpretations of 귀요미. It has indeed become viral, especially in Asian countries. Some covers by various individuals are really adorable and make you go "Kyaa~~!" while some others are unfortunately off track and make you go "Err~~".
Regardless of how people remake the 귀요미 and how the viewers react to it, the original 귀요미 counting is the most brilliant and refreshing to me. Well done, 일훈!

On another note, here's the music video of BTOB's 'Second Confession', a feel-good song that gives a warm and sweet feeling.
[Note: The first member to rap in the early part of the music video is 정일훈, the creator of 귀요미.]
2012 Asia Super Showcase in Malaysia [Fan Account included]
Remember that I bought a V.I.P. Zone ticket for this showcase last time? The time was finally coming! BTOB in Malaysia~~~! Woohoo~! You know what? I think I'll make a short fan account on the showcase, then include a few pictures below. I never got to make my fan account. Yup, terribly busy!
[FAN ACCOUNT] 121211 - 2012 Asia Super Showcase (Melody's POV)
Since the venue of the showcase was in Kuala Lumpur (KL), I had to take a flight from Kuching to KL. I (with my family) had to go for an afternoon flight on the same day of the showcase. It would be better to depart earlier but I had a presentation in the morning. So, right after the presentation at campus, I dashed back home to change and my uncle sent us to the airport. We weren't late for boarding at all. In fact, the flight was delayed for almost half an hour! >.< I usually wouldn't mind a slight delay but that day was different. I needed to rush to claim my showcase ticket as soon as possible. I tried to remain calm because freaking out wouldn't make me magically transport myself to KL in a blink of an eye, would it?
So, when we reached the airport in KL, dad and I went to the taxi ticketing booth while mom and my sisters went to get our luggage. When we got in the taxi (which was a van, actually, since a taxi could carry maximum four passengers only and there were five of us) and directed the driver to bring us to Kenanga Wholesale City, the venue of the showcase. I wasn't in a rush to actually enter the showcase venue yet because I bought a ticket with numbered seating. However, I needed to get my showcase ticket first. After getting my ticket, we were sent to our hotel by the driver to check in. A funny (and quite stressful) incident happened when we were on our way up the elevator. The maximum capacity of the elevator was three people but all five of us got in with our luggage, thinking that it would be alright. The next thing we knew, the elevator doors wouldn't open when we reached our floor. Dad called the receptionist and seconds later, the doors opened. Without resting, right after we dropped off our stuff at our room, we rushed back out to go to the showcase venue. (Yes, my family members went to the showcase venue too just to have a walk around because the venue was also a shopping mall.) This time, we didn't go by taxi but we went there by monorail. Rushing to the nearest monorail station without slowing down was tiring but we had to keep going.
This is the fanboard that I made and brought along to the showcase.
It reads "I only know BTOB", derived from BTOB's song, 'I Only Know Love".
Once we reached the venue after walking non-stop, I was so drained but I got some of my energy back when I saw the V.I.P. entrance. I waved goodbye to my family members and went in. There were already a lot of fans in the venue. Even though I got a V.I.P. seat, it was quite unfortunate as the seat number that I got was among the furthest from the stage within the V.I.P. Zone. Oh well...I just got to live it. So, I waited patiently along with everyone else as there were minutes left to the start of the showcase. We could hear occasional screaming from the audience whenever they thought they saw glimpse of idols backstage. LOL I can totally relate.
The audience waiting for the showcase to start
So, the first group to go on stage was the group I went there for. BTOB!!! OMG OMG OMG... BTOB members were really on stage in front of my freakin' eyes! They appeared on the stage with their intro song, 'Born to Beat'. I screamed so much but I tried to cool down so that I could enjoy their performance as much as possible. I swear I was crying in joy inside, but on the outside, I was far too excited. I could see BTOB! I could see sweetie Eun Kwang! The boys sounded so great live. Even their presence was beyond amazing.
After their intro song, the music for 'I Stole Those Lips (Irresistible Lips)' was heard. They performed that song so energetically.
Then, the upbeat feel was halted for a while as BTOB performed their balladry song, 'Imagine'. The meaning behind the song is just honest and disturbing (in a strangely good way). Click here to see the meaning of 'Imagine'.
'Imagine'
The next song was 'I Only Know Love (Lover Boy)'. The song has such catchy chorus and mid-verses [*I just confidently created this term.*], in my opinion. I like the choreography too.
After 'I Only Know Love (Lover Boy)', BTOB had a talk session. Each member introduced himself. One of the fanservice-like thing that made fans squeal was when Min Hyuk was about to introduce himself. The boys were sweating so much after the dancing and partly because of the humid weather. Just as Min Hyuk started to speak, Chang Seob who stood next to him wiped Min Hyuk's sweat. Aww...how sweet! They then smiled and laughed. Peniel, the English speaker of the group, stated that Malaysia is just so beautiful and he would love to visit Malaysia again for a non-performing-related vacation. Min Hyuk also stated that Malaysia is a country that he would always go back to. The MC asked BTOB to sing an acapella, so they sang the chorus of 'Monday to Sunday'.
BTOB's talk session
The next song by BTOB was 'My Girl'. OMG I love this song! It's an easy-going, love-confessing song and it has a beautiful acoustic guitar intro music. The song doesn't have a particular choreography, so the boys walked around the stage to get closer to the audience. Of course, fans started to scream so much and the screaming could be heard even with the song's music being played. From my place, I could see Peniel taking a selca on stage using a fan's polaroid camera. *Not jealous, not jealous* The members looked straight into some fans' eyes when they got closer. Towards the end of the beautiful song, Eun Kwang even sat at the edge of the main stage and swayed his feet like an adorable child. Why?????!!!!!! *Mental breakdown*
Then, BTOB performed their debut title track, 'Secret (Insane)'. Malaysian fans must have been most familiar with the fan chants of this song because they chanted so loudly and clearly. *Proud* At the second last chorus of the song, there was a technical problem and the music suddenly stopped. BTOB kept singing and fans' chanting accompanied BTOB's singing, making the rest of the song sound seemingly better that the one with background music.
BTOB Hyun Sik: "You make me go insane.."
Fans: "Sane!"
BTOB Hyun Sik: "Give me so much pain.."
Fans: "Pain!"
BTOB Hyun Sik: "I won't be back again.."
(While BTOB Min Hyuk rapped..) BTOB Sung Jae: "I wanna hate you.."
BTOB Eun Kwang: "You make me go insane.."
Fans: "Sane!"
BTOB Eun Kwang: "Give me so much pain.."
Fans: "Pain!"
BTOB Eun Kwang: "I won't be back again...~~" *Then, he stopped and giggled.*
*Even more proud*
The MC came out and BTOB had an interview session. BTOB answered a few randomly picked questions from a box. An interpreter was on stage too.
[P/S - I might rephrase the sentences but the points remain the same.]
Question: How would you spend a day in Malaysia?
BTOB Eun Kwang: "One day wouldn't be enough. I would spend two days here." *Fans, including me, screamed and cheered.*
BTOB Sung Jae: (To audience) "Would you like to spend a night with me?" *WTH Sung Jae! Don't even start! You're the youngest member!*
Question: What is your ideal type of girl?
BTOB Hyun Sik: (In English) "Beautiful girls!" *While moving his hand in the audience's direction with a wide cheeky-ish smile on his face*
The MC asked Il Hoon to do his famous Kiyeomi Player (Cutie Player). Three fans, who were selected way before the showcase started, were called on stage to do the Kiyeomi Player with him. You can watch how Il Hoon's Kiyeomi Player looks like in a fan-recorded video of the showcase below.
Cute, right?
BTOB then performed their last song for the night, 'Wow'. It was "wow" indeed. There were still EXO-M and the main act, Super Junior-M left for the rest of the showcase but I already used up my energy on BTOB. Haha... I enjoyed EXO-M and Super Junior-M's performances too. Oh ya, I was standing on my chair throughout the showcase. So, my legs were absolutely sore and aching. Other fans did the same. I met a new friend, an Exotic (EXO's fan) whose seat was next to mine.
Fans went crazy because of the three groups.
The full song list of the showcase
After the showcase ended, I waited for a while with my new friend because a lot of people were waiting for the elevators. When we reached downstairs and went out, I met my family members who were waiting outside. It turned out that there were quite a number of parents and family members waiting outside the mall throughout the showcase. Mom said that they could hear fans' screaming even though the showcase venue was 15 floors above and in an indoor location. We made our way back to the hotel. I was beyond tired. To add to that, I had to complete my university assignment and part of my degree thesis. How hectic, right? I just have to be strong and keep going.
After the showcase ended
My showcase ticket
.. [End of Fan Account] ..
My flight back home was two days earlier than the rest of my family. I had to go back early because I had so many university stuff to do. Back at home in Kuching, grandma and my little cousin stayed over.
The rest of my family went to shopping malls around KL while they were still there.
Dad saw BTOB's standee in one of the malls, took a picture of it, and WhatsApp'ed me the picture. He even posted the picture on his Facebook wall, making people think that he's a fan too. LOL
Victoria's Early Birthday Surprise
It's like a customary among my circle of closest friends to hold surprise birthday celebrations. It's getting harder to come up with a potentially successful surprise each time. For Vic's birthday, we planned to make an early birthday surprise.
Vic is a huge fan of Manchester United. So, that explains the theme of the cupcakes and gift.
Christmas
Our area's Catholic community went from one house to another for Christmas carols.

Bambi, Our New 'Family Member'
My sister's friend had quite a number of dogs and puppies at her home. She was giving away a few puppies. Bambi, a playful and unladylike female puppy, was given to us. She was born in October 2012. Her favourite food is fried chicken.
Meet Bambi.
Family Gathering Dinner
My uncle, who's my dad's youngest brother, was coming to Kuching after a while with his wife and son. We had a family dinner at a restaurant since it's hard for all of us to gather together at other times.
My uncle, aunt, and youngest cousin
Yes, this picture is blurry and can't be fixed.
My nephew (cousin's son) didn't want to stay still. Haha...
BTOB had a comeback with their second mini album entitled 'Press Play'. I preordered their mini album and was thrilled to receive it through mail. There was a random photocard of an individual member in the album.
The album design is pretty creatively done, don't you think?
I got Sung Jae photocard. He's the youngest member in BTOB. A very playful maknae..
I traded my photocard with a Malaysian K-popper and got Eun Kwang photocard. Eun Kwang is the leader and the eldest member in BTOB. I love all of BTOB members but Eun Kwang is my favourite. He's sweet and polite, but can be very random and silly at times. My future soulmate...
For this comeback, BTOB went retro and relived the 90's era with the title track 'Wow'. The song has a funky and upbeat feel to it. It's really interesting. I like it. Watch the music video and enjoy the song.
Yes, there's something about 서은광 that gives me a tingly feeling every time I see him in a video or a picture. You know, that kind of churning feeling inside that instantly makes you have a certain reaction upon seeing someone or something? In Korean language, it would be described as "두근 두근". That's "dugeun dugeun", pronounced as "du-gun du-gun". In English, you can call it "thump thump" or "thumping" for short. Like seriously...it's not just having 'butterflies in the stomach' kind of thing. If I may alter that phrase, it would be 'butterflies in the heart' in my case. It's because I feel more warmth in my heart rather than my stomach when I think about 은광이. (Haha...somehow the sentence sounds funny. "More warmth in my heart"?? xD ) And it's not exactly the same as the normal situations where I get excited on my own when I see other namja idols who catch my eye. My friends and family know well enough how I am when I get excited because of those eye candies (but I see more than their outward appearances, believe me). Really, it's a little different. I don't know why yet. You may say that it's nothing unusual especially since I'm a fan of the group BTOB who is a junior group of BEAST. So, I'll try to keep silent and post about it instead. ^o^

// Please do not edit fantaken photo. //
I've come up with several reasons why 은광 has a special spot in my heart. (P/S - BEAST's 현승 has been staying in my heart too ever since I knew BEAST. Just FYI.) It's not very hard for me to list out some of the things that I find captivating about this currently blonde guy. (P/S again - He bleached his hair blonde for the group's debut and his hair remains bleached with occasional variation of pinkish shade or lighter tone.)
Reason #1
His Refreshing Look
I put this as my first reason because I was first attracted to 은광 before I heard him sing or saw him dance since he had not debuted yet at that time. The first time I saw 은광 (not live, just in a video ^^) was in the sitcom 'I Live in Cheongdam-dong' where he played his character as a member of a 5-guy group of aspiring singers. The others who played the characters of the remaining members of the group in the sitcom are also in the same agency, Cube Entertainment, in real life, not in the sitcom. Although I didn't watch the sitcom, I watched clips of this particular group compiled by fans. From there, I started noticing 은광 and I was drawn to the refreshing vibe that I got from him even though I didn't know his name at that time. Then, the group BTOB officially debuted and I got the chance to watch their debut showcase live on YouTube. In the showcase, BTOB members were introduced one by one in a fashion runway style. 은광 was the first to come out and I was *_* 'ed by his smooth yet subtle move as he walked towards the front of the stage. His gaze shot right through the laptop screen and caused me to +_+ . And then he smiled, making me #_# . Yeah, I can't find the words to substitute those emoticons right now. Can you help me?
By the way, some have said that 은광 resembles 현승 but I didn't realise that. I still don't see the close resemblance of those two. It's funny because 현승 happens to be my bias in BEAST. Do they really resemble one another in any way? Hmm...maybe.
Reason #2 His Vocals
Have you heard him sing? If you haven't, you should. And prepare to be amazed. He's definitely one of the best vocalists ever existing on this planet. It's not just my opinion, it has been said so many times by many individuals. He himself knows that too and he aims to become one of the greatest singers known. I would love to learn how he can control his voice projection and breathing technique. Teach me, 은광이~ On a side note (since this post is about 은광), the whole of BTOB members, which consists of seven members altogether, are undeniably talented in singing, rapping, and also dancing. Acting can be in it too but that's not their focus right now. Let them be the BTOB that serenades fans with their voices and excites fans with their moves. So, BTOB really is a group that is well equipped with impressive talents that can do wonders if polished and maintained in the long run.
Reason #3
His Dance
Who isn't attracted to people who can dance wonderfully, right? But 은광's moves when he dances captured me (as if he didn't capture me already way before I saw him dance) like an arrow that was steadily released from its bow and found its way to me. Every person has his or her own style or tendency when dancing. 은광's style is by far one of my favourites. Just like how he was "smooth yet subtle" when he walked the runway during BTOB's debut showcase, he does the same every time he dances. I don't know if anyone else realises it but I seem to notice the extra smoothness that he has when he dances. Okay, I shall not talk more about this because you might not be able to imagine it well yet I'm the only one envisioning it perfectly and being crazy all by myself.
Reason #4
His Brotherly Love with BTOB Members
I love it when members of a group get along well and looks after one another like best friends or close siblings. BTOB is one of the groups that have great bonds with each other. They remind me of BEAST members who are close with each other and has each other's back. In fact in a survey conducted by a TV programme (I think), BEAST was voted by fellow entertainers as the group with the best teamwork. BTOB made it in the top list too! And A Pink too, from A Cube Entertainment. I'm so proud of these CUBE talents. :') 은광 isn't just the leader of BTOB. He's the big brother, which makes prefect sense since he's the oldest among the seven. Oh, did you know that the seven members of BTOB share one bedroom with three bunk beds? The youngest member, 성재, once said that it allows them to become closer but in the morning, their washroom becomes a war zone. Cute!
Reason #5
His Giggle
I'm so in love with 은광이's giggle that I recorded his short but contagious giggle from their debut showcase and saved it in my phone. Now, the recorded audio is in my Galaxy Tab too. Enough said!
Reason #6
His Pronunciation
은광 might not be very fluent in English yet but he's getting there. His English pronunciation might not be the best out of all idols but he's really not bad. As a matter of fact, I like how he pronounces some English words. It's like hearing a Korean speaking in simple English and then suddenly a particular word is pronounced so beautifully in an accent that it makes you think "Wait? Was that the same person for a second there?" when you hear him speak. It doesn't apply to every English word that he says but just some of them. From his singing and interviews, some of the words that he has pronounced remarkably well (according to me) are "pain", "point (from "point of view")", "pursue", and "leader". Peniel, teach him more!
You know what? The list can go on because I can be as detailed and thorough as I want to but I'll have some mercy and stop here. ^^ So, those are the top reasons why I adore you-should-know-who-by-now.

This was requested by me, actually. I'm not kidding. I requested for it about a week after BTOB debuted.
Thank you for your time and please support our blooming love. What the... LOL. I'm just being me. Okay, bye for now!
:: Update 120320 ::
The second teaser, which is also the last, of BToB's 'Insane' has been released. In this second teaser, a verse and a chorus of the debut track are revealed.
Love~~! ♥
The MV will be revealed at midnight.
Tomorrow (21-03-2012) afternoon, there will be 'The Grand Launching Show'. It's BToB's debut showcase. The showcase can be watched through live streaming on BToB's official YouTube channel.
The first teaser video for BToB's debut track has been released. I believe the song's title is 'Insane', based on what is written in the video's description. A Pink's leader, Cho Rong, is featured in the teaser video. Of course, the highlight of the teaser video (for me) is the scene where the seven members are sitting or leaning in silence in an ancient-looking room filled with pianos, which are later on fire.
Some might comment that this group looks similar to BEAST, their senior group under the same agency. Yes, I can see a resemblance but they don't appear to be like BEAST's clones to me. It's just the aura-filled feel that CUBE's boy group(s) seems to bring about, you know? When you see BToB's teasers or performances, you may be reminded to BEAST due to the fact that they come from the same agency. I think it's normal for an agency to have a signature style.
So, the names of the seven members have been revealed through BToB's Daum fancafe.
The group consists of Lee Min Hyuk, Seo Eun Kwang, Lim Hyun Sik, Jung Il Hoon, Shin Peniel D., Yook Sung Jae, and Lee Chang Sub.
As the debut date for BToB, the new group under Cube Entertainment, draws nearer, I feel more intrigued to see their performances. I also plan to buy their debut album (original CD, manufactured in South Korea, of course). So, I'll be saving up more and might become picky when spending money. Plus, BEAST's comeback is in April, where a new full-length album will be released. So....don't ask me out so often for now! Unless, of course, you'll pay for everything. LOL
:: Update 120318 ::
It turns out that Lee Min Woo isn't a member of the group.
[Credits: cubicbeatz; BTOB Official Malaysia Fansite]
Apparently, it is said he's not in the debut stage preview. So, for now, only Seo Eun Kwang, Jung Il Hoon, Im Hyun Sik, and Lee Min Hyuk are the confirmed known members [Credit: http://msiaofficialbtob.blogspot.com/]. The other three members have not been identified yet.
I tried to keep my cool but I couldn't. I couldn't because this is about the new boy group under Cube Entertainment (CUBE). To be exact, this group is under Cube DC, another sub-label of CUBE. Remember A Cube Entertainment, the first sub-label of CUBE? Cube DC is the new sub-label. Some of you might be questioning why CUBE needs another sub-label, or why do they need any sub-label at all in the first place. It's their management strategy and it's not something bad. I'm a student of a business faculty, so I understand that having sub-labels may be a wise thing to do for a talent management agency.
Last year, it was predicted that the new seven-member boy group might debut in January 2012. After January arrived, it was found that the group would debut later than that. After waiting for a couple of months, fans are now squealing and spazzing over the official announcement of the group's name and debut date (22-03-2012). I'm one of the fans. Yes, I've fallen for them even before their debut. When I heard that CUBE was going to debut a new group, I kept thinking about the possibility of me ending up as a fan just like I'm a fan of BEAST, who's under CUBE as well. Then, the teaser video came along, showing the members dancing praise-worthy acrobatic moves in tracksuits and masks....and boom, I got hooked! They look so young, fresh, and promising. Oh, right before BEAST debuted in 2009, they also did a group dance teaser with masks (bandannas) on. So, I feel intrigued by the similarity in tactics that this new group is doing. It's one of CUBE's signature styles, so it gives me the 'CUBE effect', you know. I'm so helpless.
The new group is called BtoB a.k.a. BIIB, pronounced as "B to B", which stands for "Born to Beat". The seven members (who I'm sure are all younger than me -.- but we'll see) are named Il Hoon, Hyun Sik, Min Woo, Eun Kwang, Min Hyuk, Sung Jae (not revealed yet), and Chang Seob (not revealed yet) [Credit: BTOB (Born To Beat)]. I haven't got to learn their surnames yet (and their birth dates, training backgrounds, specialties, family members, blood groups, ideal types).
So, here's a series of screen-captured images from BtoB's teaser.
Watch the video in the link. Be blown away~
For Malaysian fans, there's an official global fan site that has been approved by Cube Entertainment. It's BTOB Official Malaysia Fansite on Facebook. BtoB also has its own Daum fancafe.
Here's a video of their fictional debut in the sitcom:
The song they're performing in the video is their actual song from their debut album, which will be released soon. It's called '그입술을뺏었어' (I Stole those Lips). Note that only five of the members are in the sitcom. The other two are yet to be officially introduced.
Six-and-a-half of the members
I wish this new group the best wishes. And if it is fated that I really become a fan of this group, I'll be looking forward to being a part of the boys' journey in K-pop industry. Il Hoon, Hyun Sik, Min Woo, Eun Kwang, Min Hyuk, Sung Jae, and Chang Seob, nuna's here for you.
Antis and overly judgmental people, back off! I'm giving this group a chance. You can go on and be happy somewhere else.
