Block B say they have become more mature

Block B debuted in April, 2011 as a hip-hop group. They quickly became popular in and out of Korea. However, their popularity didn’t last long.
Block B recently released a new material. It’s been eight months since they caused controversy with their interview in Thailand.
On October 17, Block B held a press interview and a showcase in celebration of the release of their first album, Blockbuster. The album contains a total of 12 songs.
Zico said, “The concept of our first album is freedom. We tried our utmost to express our feelings.”
Block B also said they have become more mature for the last eight months. U-Kwon said, “We had time for self-reflection after watching the video, which caused controversy. We realized how influential the words that we say can be. We’re very sorry that we said things that hurt the people in Thailand.”

Regarding the album, Zico said, “We tried not to limit the genres of our music. The album contains various genres of songs, including hip-hop, electronic dance, jazz, ballad, and R&B.”
Saying thank you to their fans, who have constantly supported them, Block B said, “We want to be more independent. We’re trying very hard to make songs of various genres. We want to have our own style, getting away from the trend.”
