Hot off the heels of their 2022 world tour, MUSTB sat down with The Kraze and fellow media colleagues to dish about their latest EP ROYALTY. The five member group debuted in 2019 under MUSTM Entertainment and consists of members Doha, Taegeon, Wooyeon, Soohyun, and Sihoo.

Released on April 17, ROYALTY features two songs, “ROYALTY” and “Memory,” as well as an instrumental version of both. The two track single plays with two diverse genres to give fans a unique listening experience based on the track they’re listening to. With “ROYALTY” taking a more upbeat approach and “Memory” being reminiscent of a pop ballad, MUSTB delivered an EP for any occasion.

Beginning the interview, each member took a second to introduce themselves:

D: Hi, I’m Doha. I’m known as a sweet guy.

S: Hi, this is Sihoo. I am the youngest member of the group. Thank you to everybody for being here today.

T: Hi, I am Taegeon, the leader of MUSTB. Thank you!

W: Hi, this is Wooyeon! I am in charge of being the peach of the group, as you can see from my hair. [Wooyeon’s hair is currently dyed a peach color.]

SH: Last but not least. Hi, I'm Soohyun of MUSTB. I am in charge of English, rap, and dance. I hope this interview goes well today. Thank you.

**Q: What was the most challenging part of creating your fourth single album?

T: We've been preparing for quite a while now. However, the original song 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."

Q: “Memory” and “ROYALTY” are two very different tracks, so it’s cool to see the relationship between the two in the EP. How was the creative process when playing with two completely different genres?

S: I just want to say we're all humans. Our emotions change like 10 times, 15 times a day - it's always changing. There are times when we are happy. There are times when we are sad. At the same time, when you are kind of feeling down, there are some people who like to listen to slow songs as well as some people who like to hear upbeat songs. When you listen to our album, “Memory” is for people who enjoy the slow vibe, whereas “ROYALTY” has a brighter, giving hope-type vibe. So we hope anyone who listens to our album can find hope and solace when they are feeling down and help them get back up.

Q: Between “Memory” and “ROYALTY,” which track does each member prefer and why?

T: As Sihoo mentioned how our emotions are always changing. When you're happy, you want to listen to more of a happy vibe song. When you are feeling down, some people like to listen to upbeat songs, while some people like to listen to slower songs. But for me, it just depends on my mood because both songs are just so great. So it really depends on the vibe of that day and my emotions at the time. It could be either one.

W: I really like the vibe that “ROYALTY” gives - a lot of hope and solace.

SH: Me too. I mean, “Memory” is also a good song, but I prefer “ROYALTY” because of the same reason as Wooyeon.

D: Although both songs are really great, at the same time the meaning of the lyrics as well as the hope and solace that “ROYALTY” gives to people makes me choose it.

S: That's like asking who do you like better, your mom or your dad. I like both songs. They are both such great songs that I can't choose.

As the interview concluded, the boys revealed a special surprise they had prepared for us. Within seconds, they returned and delivered an exclusive performance of their songs “ROYALTY” and “Memory.” It was a pleasure to not only speak with the boys but also have our own mini showcase. If you're unfamiliar with MUSTB, now is the perfect time to tune in; they hinted at a few exciting projects they have in the works that you won't want to miss.

For international Muffins, MUSTB fans, the group will be embarking on a world tour in the third quarter of the year venturing through Asia and Europe! Stay tuned for updates and an announcement on cities!
