BTOB

BTOB (비투비; acronym for Born to Beat) is a six-member South Korean boy group originally formed by Cube Entertainment in 2012. The group debuted on March 21, 2012 with the single Insane, and over 14 years has built a reputation as one of K-pop's most vocally formidable acts, a group defined by its live performance pedigree and deep fan loyalty from its fandom, MELODY.

The current lineup comprises Seo Eun-kwang, Lee Min-hyuk, Lee Chang-sub, Lim Hyun-sik, Peniel Shin, and Yook Sung-jae. Original member Jung Il-hoon departed in December 2020.

BTOB's discography spans 12 mini-albums and 2 full-length studio albums, with chart-defining moments including Missing You (2017) and Only One for Me (2018). Five albums topped the Gaon Album Chart. They were named Best Vocal Group at the 30th Golden Disc Awards in 2016 and won the Seoul Music Awards Ballad Award in 2018.

Following the expiry of their contracts with Cube Entertainment in November 2023, the six members established BTOB Company as a sublabel under DOD Entertainment in February 2024, ensuring the group's continued operations across different solo agencies. In March 2025, they launched the Becoming Project with the EP BToday. In March 2026, BTOB announced their first full-group digital single in nearly three years, "We Together," releasing on March 21, 2026 to mark their 14th debut anniversary.
