Now that the K-pop group BTOB has finally ended their military era, there is a lot the boys are going to be able to do in terms of their solo projects as Sungjae has been considering K-drama projects after his recent discharge from the military. In terms of music, BTOB 4U, the official sub-unit of the group, took over the group's activities when the two members of BTOB, Sungjae, and Hyunsik had enlisted in the military. Once the subunit is done with their own activities, including promotions, the reunited and complete group can start work on new projects.
The group's rapper Minhyuk (also known by his pseudonym HUTA) currently has a lot going with his recently released single ‘Good Night’ being a hit amongst fans.
