[soft-taozi.livejournal.com]

Kiroy Company have announced on May 9th that they will be debuting a new 9 member boy group by the name of BTL on the 15th of March.

The group was created by producer Yang Jungseung, and along with the announcement, they revealed a teaser picture of the 9 members, in which all of them show off their toned abs.

In the teaser picture, the members seem to be walking with purpose towards a light, in which they are conveying the meaning of their group name, “BTL”, which stands for “Beyond The Limit”.

One staff member of Kiroy Company expressed that BTL aim to be a group of hope, in which they are able to be a warm light to the world by singing songs with positive and hopeful messages and go beyond any limitations.

BTL will be releasing their debut song on the 15th of May on various online music sites, and their debut performance information will be released soon.

So many boy groups beginning with B. These guys are just going to be BLT in my mind.

Comments

They look like a mix of 10 other groups. Good luck.

[creepink.livejournal.com]

Why are most of them university students tho

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

lol maybe because most of them are 18~22 (aka, the typical college age)?

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I read their name as BLT lol
Jean Paul, how I am I supposed to tell if I aime your visage if you cover it up?

Well good luck to them.

[nickle4apickle.livejournal.com]

"how I am I supposed to tell if I aime your visage"
XDDD Love it!

[peacefulscream.livejournal.com]

Allen can get it.

[vermicelli-rice.livejournal.com]

well thank goodness it isn't BLT - bacon, lettuce, tomato.
They look like they're each cosplaying some anime/manga characters in the group pic.

[milafanway.livejournal.com]

I thought this was a random group for an opening song (?)
Well. good luch BLT

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I read this as good lunch and was cackling

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Some of them are attractive. That blond kid in particular is gorgeous.
But they don't seem to bring anything new to the table tbh.

[jojibear.livejournal.com]

When I saw the title, I wasn't sure why you were talking about a sandwich on a Kpop community u_u

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

Going for the rpg concept I see. I see a theif, archer, healer.....

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

That'd be an interesting and original concept tbh.

[snoaz.livejournal.com]

So many boy groups beginning with B

lmao, you're so right. Are they all trying to channel BB or something.

(And to make matters more confusing, they also almost all happen to be three or four-lettered names. Perhaps it's a coincidence but surely they must notice that you don't stand out like that anymore name-wise, idk).

[tee-sama.livejournal.com]

Hey, if they follow the trend of other B boy groups, then I'll be happy. They tend to be my favorites (BTS, Block B, BtoB, Bigbang). :D

[nnejck.livejournal.com]

Wow, an 89er debuting in a boy band? That's becoming a rare sight :o

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

lmao ikr. But it's actually not that rare tbh. A few 87~89ers debuted last year. That was also 100%'s Minwoo who debuted in 2012 and he's a 85er.

[mspopstar.livejournal.com]

I'm too old for this shit lbr

[wafflesnmilk.livejournal.com]

they kinda look like a cheap vixx rip-off , also cocktail glass dude and candle dude look out of place without a proper weapon

[noodlebringer.livejournal.com]

agreed, especially with the mud photo

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

Omg Yua & Jisoo ;_;
They are qties but I can't really stand the concept/outfits?? Idk.

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

I legit grimaced when I saw the group photo. Hot mess of every single ~dark~ boyband concept ever.

One dude's from Yonsei. Respect! Though if I were him, I'd just keep studying instead.

[soft-taozi.livejournal.com]

!! How can you have time to go to Yonsei when your an idol ...

[dafairyness.livejournal.com]

Is that a cross bow??

Two of them list anything as a specialty. What does that even mean

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

I feel I'm gonna watch a kick ass anime or game

[itsnvrcldinhell.livejournal.com]

Why are some of them hiding their face? Mama wants to see what's under

[laeryn.livejournal.com]

Jisu in that solo photo reminds me of Kikwang. Personally face wise I kinda like Jay. But I am so not interested in more groups... tho at least some of them are my age and one's even older!

[juhli.livejournal.com]

It's cool that Jean Paul is a Onehallyu member!

[itsnvrcldinhell.livejournal.com]

is that a candle and a martini?

i like where this is going now

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm, this has the potential to be pretty interesting.
I'm intrigued that all of these boys are college kids, either graduated or attending, and seem to be sitting on the older end of the age idols debut. I kinda like that they aren't all underaged, simply because finding guys attractive (like Zelo) that are that young makes me feel creepy.

Guarantee that either Yu.A or Jay is the rapper of the group.

[ah-mui.livejournal.com]

I actually really like the whole uni angle for some reason, heyy that one dude is even a Yonsei student!

[frequency.livejournal.com]

sandwich boys

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]
