NTB’s Debut
There was a 9-member male idol group, and it was planned as the second season of Pure which was active in the same agency. Therefore, their English name is Pure Boy. In January 2015, the single album When White Snow Falls caused a sensation in Japan Tower Records and ranked 3rd on the Japan Tower Records K-Pop chart for two weeks. They continued their activities in Japan on July 1, 2015. After releasing a single album through Universal Music Japan, a major Japanese record label, in the first week of July, it set a phenomenal record for a rookie group, topping the Japan Tower Records chart for three weeks in a row and reaching #5 on the Oricon chart. There is a rumor that the competence of the representative producer Park Sang-hyun, who wrote the lyrics and produced the song himself, played a part. However, they colluded with the manager who was in charge of the concert hall in Japan, Hwang Tae-geun (G.O), and the eldest member Jeon Sangmin (L.Min), which led to the members leaving, and they were active in Japan under the name Naughty Boys (NTB).
The first music video teaser from NTB was released, raising curiosity. On May 14, 2018, the agency High Choice Entertainment released the teaser for their debut song “Dramatic” for their first mini-album through official SNS and YouTube channels. The teaser video, which opens as if a movie is beginning, caught viewers’ attention by rapidly changing through various scenes such as an alarm clock, the scenery of a Japanese night street, and the appearance of the six NTB members running towards somewhere. In particular, unlike the general teaser video, the sound was filled only with sound effects without any BGM, making the video stand out, adding a more mysterious feeling to it, and inducing curiosity. At the end of the video, the song “Dramatic” was inserted briefly, further amplifying the curiosity of the fans.
NTB, which debuted first in Japan in 2016 and quickly built a strong fandom through active local activities, planned to leave a strong presence with the public with splendid music and performances through their domestic debut album Dramatic. NTB set their foot in the South Korean music industry with their first music video and mini album. “Dramatic” is accompanied by trendy future bass music as well as cool vocals and raps from the members. In the music video, we can see the appearance of the six NTB members dancing outdoors with various beautiful scenic backgrounds.
NTB’s Debut Performances
NTB’s members are not idols who debuted on stage to the first time because, previously, they had debuted as Pure Boys members a few years ago before they re-debuted as NTB’s members. Their debut performance was also powerful enough while bringing “Dramatic” to the stage. Let’s find out more about NTB’s debut performance in the session below!
On July 13, 2018, NTB held their debut stage on KBS’ Music Bank while having fun with their debut song “Dramatic.” The members were very energetic while doing the choreography and singing live on stage.
