They debuted on November 16, 2020, with the extended play (EP) Inside.[1]

History

2020–2021: Formation and debut, Kingdom: Legendary War.

The quartet’s first activity as an unofficial unit was the Naver Now show BTOB NOW: Our Concert, which was hosted by Eunkwang, Minhyuk, Changsub and Peniel, and was aired for 3 weeks starting October 27.[2] Throughout the broadcast, the quartet performed numerous songs on 'BtoB Masterpiece One Bar Live' and communicated freely with fans through 'Real-time Q&A'.[3] Their last episode was on November 18.[4]

BtoB 4U is a sub-unit of BtoB, formed four years after BtoB Blue, and is composed of Eunkwang, Minhyuk, Changsub and Peniel.[5] The group was formed due to other BtoB members' military enlistment.[6] The name BtoB 4U is the name given by Minhyuk's brother. On Kang Han-na's Volume Up, Minhyuk stated "It's not my idea. My brother asked me, 'How's the name For You?'."[7] The name contains a double meaning of 'For you' and '4 members united'.[8] It also refers to how there are four members in the unit.[9] Other unit names that were selected after a public survey are BtoB Sky, BtoB Purple, BtoB Black, TeleToB, and SaToB (4 ToB).[10] [8]

On October 30, Cube Entertainment officially announced the unit’s debut date with the album Inside.[11] On November 16, the group debuted with a moombahton dance genre song "Show Your Love" that contains a hopeful message to live and love each other even in difficult times. The song was composed by Hyunsik, composed before his military enlistment.[12] BtoB 4U received their first-ever music show win on SBS MTV's The Show on November 24, 8 days after their debut.[13] On December 2, the group released the official Japanese version of the song.[14]

On January 28, 2021, it was officially announced that BtoB 4U would participate in the Mnet competition series as BtoB, due to the other members serving in the military.[15]

Philanthropy

On November 23, 2020, BtoB 4U made a donation of 50,000 masks to Seongdong-gu office for essential workers, childcare workers who are playing their role in the field despite the prolonged spreading of COVID-19. The group expressed their gratitude, saying, "Due to [Covid-19], both children and teachers must continue to wear masks, so they will use two masks a day."[16] [17]
