“To smile throughout for 3 minutes is really tiring.”
That was 6 member boy group Teen Top’s complain. “No More Perfume On You(NMPOY)” was released on 26th July and the performances displayed a gentle man confessing his love for a noona; they had to keep smiling on stage, but they are still not used to it.
“In our previous songs, we had to showcase a tough and charismatic image. But we needed to smile this time round so it’s really awkward. We practised by smiling and laughing in front of a mirror alot.”
Although the 6 members complain that it is too tiring for them to keep smiling, during the interview their smiles were genuine. They are garnering immense popularity a year after their debut on 10th July, by capturing the hearts of noonas with “NMPOY”
“A lot of noona fans turn up at our autograph sessions. Previously it was mainly teenage fans but recently our fan base seemed to have diversified and cheers are getting louder as well.”

Early this year “Supa Luv” was introduced on a popular french TV show, “Le Grand Journal” which caught the audience’s attention. The panel then had complimented their performance as “Outstanding talent”, “Cool hairstyle” and “They’ll make it in France” European fans also used social networking services to petition for a performance there.
However they did not managed to do as well domestically. Teen Top debuted in 2010, the year which girl groups took the lead in the music industry. It was unwise for a direct confrontation. Miss A had swept all the newcomer awards last year and G.N.A debuted with “I’ll back off so you can live” on 1st July and was known for her powerful vocals. It was not easy for Teen Top to gain attention. Teen Top said “We had tried a diverse genre of songs but it was a pity that the songs could not be known widely”
They were discouraged. There were thoughts of giving up. Teen Top’s leader, the oldest member C.A.P was only 19. All of them are still in their 10s. But Teen Top said “Rather than bearing such thoughts, we spent that time practising to better ourselves. When we watched groups that debuted around the same time as us do well, we became more determined.”

But to improve, a transformation was needed. The members had wanted to sing the songs that were suitable for their age. It was then when they received “NMPOY”. It was a song about a bad guy who had a girlfriend yet he is two timing with an older woman he likes.
“Initially we thought the lyrics were amusing. We had been doing dark and heavy songs so we were unfamiliar with NMPOY. But as we listened to the song more, we liked it and we thought that this song suits us really well”
Was that the premonition for a hit? Teen Top gained wide recognition with “NMPOY”. They could promote that one song for over a month. By doing that, they were able to soar to greater heights.
“We have yet to decide on our plans for our next activity but we’ll show you a different side of us. We are planning to have Japanese activities next year. If there’s an opportunity to advance to Europe, we will go definitely”
Teen Top is one big step closer to being the Top of the singers in their 10s
