BTOB’s Minhyuk recently participated in a photo shoot with CeCi and was asked about the group's new music.

“Every time we came out with new music, we tried to try something new. But ‘Missing You‘ got so much love, so we thought long and hard about whether we should try something new again, or if we should try something similar to repay the love the song got. In the end, we decided to return all the love we received, so I think we came out with a really great song.”

He was then asked whether they felt pressure after the success of “Missing You” last year. He commented, “It felt more like we had let go of a big worry. Our group has a lot of ambition towards music, so it’s great that we get as much love as we work hard, but we felt a lot more pressure every time we came out with new music. It feels like we were finally acknowledged with ‘Movie’ and ‘Missing You’ last year, so we’re less anxious.”



Minhyuk then talked about his own personal musical style. He shared, “Ever since I was young, my music was the type that never limited the person listening to it. For example, when you write lyrics and write ‘him’ or ‘her,’ then the perspective of the song definitively becomes a man or a woman. So I write ‘you’ instead. I want both men and women to empathize with my music. It’s the same with genre or people of different ages. Rather than something for the younger generation or for fans of a specific genre, I want to make music that many people can enjoy.”

Lovely! Minhyuk's songs are really beautiful. And of course I continue to be proud of what they've achieved. It really took a long time before people started paying attention but its amazing that the general public loves them now.
