With girl groups taking over the scene, a new mixed group is entering the competition. With two males and two females, the group is composed of HanYeon, Jin Woong, Nara, and Rika. Maybe because of the long training period or their experienced skills, this group seems different from other rookies.
+We met under hard situations! The four dreaming kids, B2Y!
With their trendy disco track "Na.Won.Cham" (You Want Me) they send a message of "gain strength" to the tired people of modern society. The members of B2Y have their fair shares of troubles with their switch of companies and as a rookie.
The leader HanYeon (26) has moved companies four times and has been part of groups three times. Also in the team there is the second, JinWoong (21) who in the past was supposed to debut under a five-member boyband but because of company problems had to give up. Currently attending Yeonsei University majoring in Construction Engineering, he said that it is harder to debut as a singer than to get accepted into a prestigious school. In the past, HanYeon has said that before debuting she would say "I'm becoming an entertainer" as a cheer but after experiencing hard training it has almost come to the point she had none of that energy.
Thirdly there is Rika who was casted as the lead role in the musical "Rent" said that despite that she has experienced hard emotional times while moving companies. Even having professional Korean traditional artist Kim SungNyu as an aunt did not help to cheer her up. It was because of her pride as "I can succeed as an entertainer with only my skills"
With traditional music roots, the youngest, Nara, is musically skilled to the point she knows how to play the gayageum and write a song from the piano. However, even with that it was not easy to find a company that would help her talent shine.
+We made our dream of debuting come true. Now our next dream is to receive much love!
While we got to know their talent, it is time to get to know their ambition and secrets.
B2Y member HanYeon having trained in 2003 with SS501 member Kim Hyun Joong has a memory of that. We asked "Aren't you jealous of seeing Kim Hyun Joong that successful" she replied back with, "That friend also experienced much hardship. He deserves the love he gets."
HanYeon says that it is now their time to receive the love. The other three members agree.
The four members say that they are "hungry" for love and that with their mini-album they hope they can become a "vitamin" to the tired people.
HanYeon says, "It's a big deal for us, as people who experienced hardship, to use music as a way to encourage and cheer people up." What amazing those words are.
