An attempt to draw Shohei from The Rampage from EXILE Tribe. It was so much more beautiful and similar in the sketch… lol! Anyway, support him and the talented boys by seeing their new PV: Hard Hit!
While I am not in the Ballistik Boyz fanbase, I couldn’t ignore the negative vibes surrounding a group that was just newly formed.
Yes the memes maybe funny and not everyone are hating on the group - but if you do go and google them right now, the top stories are about how they are accused of copying BTS. and Yes there are people who are commenting on these articles trying to clear the air, but the titles of the articles are damaging enough. //as there are people who don’t do further research// and the effect?
They will just be known as the group who copied BTS’ concept.
So to clear any misinformation:
They are not called BTZ - I have not seen the members nor their fans call them that
and no none of the members' names has Z’s in them - though I highly doubt people took the jokes seriously... right?
They DO NOT DEBUT ON JUNE 12th - in fact, they are still trainees and still has a long long way from debuting.
What is on June 12th? - that is the date where Ballistik Boyz will be the opening act for another group called Fantastics and their ‘mushashigyo’. ‘Mushashigyo’ directly translates to warrior training, it is where trainee groups go through training, camps and outdoor performances for a few years before actually debuting.
Similar style? - Well many groups do have hip-hop fashion or songs, but the agency Ballistik Boyz are in are heavily influenced by hip-hop, pop, and R&B. The dancing in the other LDH(agency) groups are referenced from street style dancing in the US and different forms of dancing meshed together. The members of the groups also do mention the names and styles they have referenced in interviews. So their looks and styles in most music videos are from hip-hop.
These are the 7 members who just started their journey with a strong passion for dancing and singing, and has yet to reach their goals and dreams. They still don’t have a strong fanbase and it will be a long while till they have their own songs, but they do show great potential and I am sure that I will hear their name again a few years later for positive reasons.
These 4 members from the Rampage will be in the Prince of Legend where there’ll be a prince battle project Kazuma will be in Team Kyogoku brothers while Hokuto, Itsuki and Makoto will be in Team Next
