BTOB, who almost became a band.

Lim Hyun-sik revealed, “There was a band project and a vocal team project.”

Lim Hyun-sik and Yuk Seong-jae were said to be members of the vocal team project.

Lee Min-hyuk said, “My older brother line, Im Hyun-sik, Seo Eun-kwang, and Lee Chang-sub, took me to a beer house.

They said that we couldn't debut like this. We were preparing as a five-member group, but the company changed it to a seven-member group."

“We complained a lot, saying, ‘We want to make a strong character with a small number of people like Big Bang, with five members.’

It was my first time here. I felt good because I thought they recognized me as a member.
