When a girl says “nothing’s wrong”, something must be wrong. “I’m OK” means “I’m not OK.” We didn’t know until long after that, when a girl says, “I don’t want to talk to you anymore.” She doesn’t really hate you. Instead she cares about you… very… very much.
okay dokay i have no idea why i am writing this when i could be sleeping but i figured this could come in handy in the future when i find myself begging on my knees to get someone into btob and this is an opportunity to write down everything i know and it makes me happy so
━━☆ welcome to alexas btob primer/ guide/ whatever ☆彡
(disclaimer: this was inspired by j’s vixx primer and this b1a4 guide and this btob guide helped a bit as well.beware, this is rather long, very biased im afraid and is yet to be completed !!!)
the basics
btob is a seven member group formed by cube entertainment in 2012
the group consists of eunkwang, minhyuk, changsub, hyunsik, peniel, ilhoon and sungjae
their group name stands for born to beat and has several meanings: born to beat as in they are born to make music and they are born to win over the others, to beat them
their fans are called melody — a name ilhoon is said to have come up with — explanation: every beat needs a melody
fun fact they were supposed to debut as a band but that obviously never happened; since they were focusing on playing instruments more they say they cannot dance up until this day
but seriously he is one of the most lovable and precious people you will ever meet he wouldnt be able to hurt a fly
minhyuk (lee minhyuk)
born 901129 (29.11.1990)
he is part of rap line, kind of a vocalist and one out of three apparent visuals, he also writes lyrics and composes songs
predebut he was an underground rapper called heota and he has started releasing solo stuff again occasionally
although his singing voice is pure sugar, minhyuk is mainly a rapper because btob would have too many vocalists otherwise
he is also very sporty and has won a ton of medals at the idol star championships for running, hurdles, high jump, futsal and and and, and he was 2014 chuseoks special’s mvp
he is also an actor in dramas like love & war 2 and a new leaf and he was the lead actor in btobs mv for irresistible lips
in 2016 he almost set a new world record in 60 metres at isac. he missed it by 0.02 seconds
he likes to pull the weirdest, most disturbing faces ever
one time it came out that while btob’s black box was being filmed changsub had no idea what that was at the mention of the name, he also had no idea what the cameras where filming for. minhyuk confronted him
peniel was born and raised in chicago and moved to korea prior to becoming an idol (around 2010)
before he debuted with btob he was a trainee at jyp and because he got added to btob last minute, he didnt get as much practice as the others which is why
he gets very few lines and when he does it is most likely english
he was kind of a part time mc at asc and he is part of america line and he is friends with anyone who speaks english basically
he did that cover once and fucking killed it please listen and fall in love
he always wears a hat or a beanie because he shaves his head (he has said he likes it that way! time to move! the fuck! on! people!)
he does daily vlogs whenever they are promoting in japan or have overseas schedules, or he posts q&as, a link to his channel
ilhoon (jung ilhoon) (i shall try to stay unbiased, yeah)
born 941004 (4.10.1994)
rapper, kind of a vocalist, song writer and part of the unofficial visual line
he writes most of his raps these days and composes songs with hyunsik
he has had some featurings mostly with labelmates like hyuna and 2yoon but also subin of dalshabet and jiyoon for unpretty rapstar
ilhoon is kind of the hecking creator of the gwiyomi player but gets little to no credit for it
he was a part time mc on weekly idol for nearly three years and has been on many other shows like pit-a-pat-romance, gangnam dance school, star king etc etc that boy was everywhere for a time
the title track of their seventh mini album i mean
again, a drama music video it is eight minutes long, with ilhoon changsub and hyunsik as the playing main characters
the song is like a second part of it’s okay, the lyrics give strength and help healing
reached first place on five music sites
sungjae was only there for about five stages in total because of his drama, he missed their first win too
BTOB HAD THEIR FIRST WIN ON 151021 EXACTLY THREE YEARS AND SEVEN MONTHS AFTER THEIR DEBUT (1310 DAYS) ON SHOW CHAMPION WITH WAY BACK HOME CONGRATULATIONS ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡
also responsible for making one question their positions within the group: à la why is minhyuk a rapper when HIS VOICE IS ACTUAL HONEY? why is hyunsik a vocalist when he can rap as if it is the only thing he does?
the first season was in 2013, season two in 2014 and season three 2015
so so cute and it really shows their talent
just watch it and melt (and die)
the beat extra
believe it or not! another season of the beat!
very short episodes because cube are lazy
still dumb children
wins
151021 way back home (show champion)
160406 remember that (show champion)
160407 remember that (m!countdown)
160408 remember that (music bank)
controversies
so far btob have had one and two minor controversies
