MUSTB Discuss Royalty At Media Roundtable

Hailing from South Korea, 5-member boy group, MUSTB, join the media to discuss their most recent comeback. The media round table took place on May 10th, 2023 where they answered questions from the press. The main point of this discussion was their latest release “ROYALTY”.

On April 16th, 2023, members Doha, Sihoo, Taegoon, Wooyeon, and Soohyun released their new single, “Royalty“. They have been promoting the track at various music shows, showcasing their dance and song well. This marks the release of their 4th single but they revealed they plan to release more music.

MUSTB Press Day

The members of MUSTB started the event off with introducing themselves one by one. When asked about their recent comeback stages, Doha replied, “[w]e’ve been preparing a really long time for this comeback, so to be able to show our stages to our MUFFINS is the best part” (MUFFINS are their fans).

When asked about the challenges they faced with this song, the leader took initiate to reply. Taegoon states,

We’ve been preparing for quite a while now. However, the original we were going to introduce on this album is not “ROYALTY.” It was actually a different song, but then they decided to make “ROYALTY” the title track of this album. I feel like that was the most challenging part because we had been preparing the other song for so many months, and then they decided to go with “ROYALTY.”

Taegoon and Soohyun received a question in regards to their participation with the songwriting. Soohyun explained, “There’s a part in our first album where Taegeon wrote the lyrics ‘I want u,’ so we added it in this song as well. You can see a little bit of our older albums inside this one, so that’s really the creative process right there.”

Working As A Group & How They’ve Grown

The media were curious about the group as a whole and how they get along. “Since we’ve worked together for so many years, we all kind of know each other and each other’s personality. We can exchange glances and know how the other member is doing,” explained Sihoo. “So working well together and knowing each other’s personality helps the teamwork flow, which helps us together as MUSTB”

MUSTB was asked about how they’ve evolved and member Wooyeon replied to this. He stated,

Since our debut, MUSTB has attempted a lot of different kind of genres. We’ve had cute concepts, mature concepts, and I am sure you have seen our nice sexy concepts. So I would describe MUSTB as really an all rounder because we’ve done so many different genres. That’s how we’ve matured. We love to attempt any and all genres.

The group was asked about what makes their music unique. To this, Sihoo replies, “one of the rather unique things about MUSTB is that each and every member can be either a vocalist or a rapper”. He continues, “we all have talent in each area. From every song to every album, you will see the parts change”. He adds “sometimes, you’ll see members as a vocalist, and sometimes, you’ll see them as a rapper”.

What The Future Holds

So what’s in line for MUSTB in the future? Wooyeon teased and said if fans watch the music video for “ROYALTY” there are some hidden “Easter Eggs” for future comebacks. Though, when asked about a future concept they want to try, Doha says, “MUSTB has done so many different concepts already, like cute, sexy, and mature, this time with “MEMORY.” In the future, we would like to try a little bit more of a manly concept and show off a lot of our charms with that. So hopefully we can show you that real soon. As we mentioned, we do have another song prepared, so I am sure you will see it soon.”

Sihoo mentioned that they’d really like to work with LE SSERAFIM when the press asked about who they’d want to collaborate with. MUSTB also shouted out for any artist who is interested in working with them, to reach out!

About ROYALTY

“ROYALTY”, a new release by the 5-member idol group MUSTB, is extraordinary.  In a K-POP scene that’s fatigued with excessively conceptual and difficult outlooks on the world, MUSTB’s latest track ROYALTY is a song with a bright and easy melody that is pleasant to the ears, and a straight rocky sound combined with confident and pure lyrics that are filled with courage and hope.

Starting with an introduction of a romantic piano arpeggio tone that does not sound artificial, then a calm but steady build up of synth elements, clean tones, and drive tones on a guitar, and finally the appearance of a kick sound that seems to express a heartbeat leads to a rocky and energetic chorus. The rock sound, bursting out in a cool and lively way, combines with an addictive and bright melody and lyrics filled with hope, and makes the listener’s heart pound with a pleasant drive.

The most notable point of this track is that MUSTB members TAEGEON and SOOHYUN also participated in the rap and song making. While all MustB members gathered and poured out many ideas together in this collaboration between professional K-POP producer team 909 Trillion and MustM Entertainment’s DJ/Chief Producer Ryan K.

This new release, ROYALTY, heavily armed with MUSTB members’ sincere lyrics and addictive melody in a track with unique rock sounds, will definitely appeal to fans and K-Pop listeners both at home and abroad.
