Billboard: Teen Top Talks Covering Cody Simpson, Wanting to Go Sexy at Debut NYC Show
Nearly four years after their debut, K-pop sextet Teen Top finds itself at a peculiar moment in their career. With half their members no longer actual teens, their name is awkward and, despite being burgeoning young men, the outfit is mostly marketed as a colorful and fun boy band that one can always depend on for a party tune. Last year, the boys released their first full-length album, "No. 1," and began exploring new sonic territory with the melancholic dance tune "I Wanna Love" and bouncy, piano jam "Miss Right" (below). While it helped the boy band's popularity -- they snagged another two Top 10 hits on the K-Pop Hot 100 and toured Europe -- it still felt like Teen Top could begin experimenting when they remained stuck in their roots as jailbait material, figuratively and literally in the "Miss Right" video.
Perhaps the growing pains were felt by the Teen Top guys as they opened the U.S. leg of their "HIGH KICK" world tour at New York City's Best Buy Theatre. Kicking off with their most recent hit, "Rocking" the boys, arguably, should have opened at their most comfortable with choreography they performed every week just seven months ago. But the boys were noticeably shaky and lacked enthusiasm for their first few songs.
Before the show, Billboard spoke to the boys -- who admitted that "because it's our first time touring the States, we're really thankful and really nervous" -- about where their careers stand today. "2013 was a year where we able to promote the name Teen Top to a lot of people," Teen Top says. "We feel our fans took care of us during that time when we were growing and with their help, we could take one step forward."
Despite progress, the boys add that they haven't felt like they've proven to the public who they really are. Vocalist Niel explains, "We haven't been able to show our true image yet. There are a lot of sounds we haven't been to explore. We hope to show a side in our new, upcoming album that everyone will be surprised by with a new, fresh image. Now that we're getting older and more mature, we hope to show a very sexy and manly image in the near future."
