BtoB Biography

Beginnings of BtoB

BtoB is a musical group dedicated to the k-pop genre that is made up of all men. Its members are: Lee Minhyuk (born on November 29, 1990 in the capital city of Seoul), Eunkwang (born on November 22, 1990 in Seoul, South Korea), Changsub (who came to the world in the date of February 26, 1991 in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea), Peniel (born on March 10, 1993), Hyunsik (came into this life on March 7, 1992 in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea) and Yook Sungjae (born May 2, 1995 in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea).

The BtoB  group was a product of the company known by the name of Cube Entertainment; at the beginning they only had confirmed as band members: Seo Eunk Wang, Im Hyun Sik, Lee Min Hyuk, Lee Min Woo and Jung II Hoon. They were the ones who appeared in the sitcom of the JBTC channel that was known under the title of I live in Cheongdam-dong; although we have to point out that Lee Min Woo was not on the official list of members of the group at that time and the fact that he did not appear in the group’s debut upset several followers.

Shortly after, on the date of March 23, 2012, the company Cube Entertainment made the announcement that Minwoo’s absence was due to health problems, which finally made it impossible for him to debut with his teammates, although it had not been discarded by the company to make his presentation to the public a little later, when his health improved, as an official member of BtoB , since he continued with the quality of a trainee of Cube Entertainment.

This is how the BtoB boys debuted on March 21 at a showcase that took place in Seoul and was broadcast from their official YouTube platform account. This is how they became known to the public with the songs known by the names of: “Insane”, “Imagine”, and other songs.

A short time later they released their first EP which they called Born to Beat. Later, in the month of April of the same year 2012, they starred in their first reality show that was known under the title of Amazon, which was broadcast by Mnet.
