Ich persönlich mag die Band sehr gerne. Ich finde es toll, dass jeder der Mitglieder eine andere Persönlichkeit hat und das sie alle so gut harmonieren. Man muss sie einfach mögen! Außerdem mag ich ihre Songs total gerne, immer abweschlungsreich. An einigen Stimmen kann man durchaus noch feilen, aber alles im allen hört es sich gut an und ich finde, Boyfriend hat einen guten Start hingelegt.

Soo, ich hoffe mal ich habe nichts vergessen.
War ja mal wieder klar das Minwoo als einziger herraussticht weil sein Foto kleiner ist als die anderen. Okay mal sehen ob ich das bald behoben habe...



Und, wer von euch kennt/mag Boyfriend?
