TEEN TOP Members Want To Stay Together As A Group

TEEN TOP has released the official tracklist for their upcoming album, DEAR N9NE, a couple of days ago. And on June 4, the showcase for their new album took place at Ilchi Art Hall in Seoul.

The group is under T.O.P Media (South Korea) and Universal D (Japan). TEEN TOP is a South Korean boy group who debuted under OP Media, on July 10th, 2010. It originally consisted of six members: C.A.P, Chunji, Niel, Ricky, L.Joe, and Changjo. By the end of 2017, L.Joe stated that he left the group.

Since TEEN TOP is approaching their 10th year together, they were asked about what they feel about it. "TEEN TOP is family. We've spent more time together than our actual families,” Niel said. "We had many discussions throughout our time together. One thing that we all agreed on is to continue TEEN TOP, even if we have individual activities. We often said to one another that we don't want to lose TEEN TOP.”

It is quite common for K-pop groups to disband, but Niel hoped that they would stay together, while open for individual activities at the same time. “We don't know what can happen in the future, but as of now, we want to maintain the group TEEN TOP but also challenge ourselves individually in areas we are talented in,” he said.

Fans quickly showed their support for the group. I almost feel bad for them... they are one of the few groups that not many people Stan them. (From all the people I know that are more than 3 groups into kpop) I like them but I just like seeing the news on them to make sure they’re ok and are still together. Thank you everyone for supporting them. TEEN TOP FIGHTING!” one said. “TEEN TOP FOREVER.” another one wrote.

TEEN TOP was also given questions about label juniors, Lee Jin Hyuk and Kim Woo Seok, who are currently on Mnet's Produce X 101. They told me they are preparing to perform 'No More Perfume On You' so I shared advice. I also taught them the choreography,” Changjo said. "I filmed a support video for them. I'm proud to see them working hard,” Niel added.

TEEN TOP’s upcoming album will feature their title song, "Run Away," along with five other songs of which some were composed and written by members C.A.P and Changjo in collaboration with other composers and lyricists. The group had so far released some teaser images, along with two video teasers for their upcoming "Run Away" music video.
