Even before their debut the boys of Block B had been getting much press and drawing attention from the public. Since their debut they have released their first mini-album along with starring in a reality show, coupled with their talent, because of this they have been gaining popularity.

As the young group continues on they approach these hurdles with strength and cheerfulness.
