Boys Be became the highest selling rookie album of 2015 and with the success of Boys Be it earned the boys awards at the Golden Disk Awards, Seoul Music Awards and the Gaon Chart K-pop Awards. Seventeen were the only K-pop group to appear on Billboard's "21 under 21 2015: Music's Hottest Young Stars" list.

Woozi and Dino co-wrote OMG with Woozi also co-composing on the track.
Woozi, Wonwoo and Vernon co-wrote Rock with again Woozi also co-composing on the track.
Woozi, S.Coups, Vernon, Mingyu and Wonwoo co-wrote 만세 (Mansae) and 표정관리 (Fronting) with yet again Woozi co-composing and taking part in the arrangement for title track 만세 (Mansae).

*YouTube views were correct at the time of writing post*
The (Mansae) M/V has so far gained 33,505,952 million views through their official YouTube channel and the M/V has also gained 8,478,893 million views through 1theK's official YouTube channel, giving the M/V so far a total of 41,984,845 million views, the views continue to grow each day.

Boys Be was released in 2 versions a Hide Version and a Seek Version, both versions are set out in box/book style case and contain the same album layout. The Hide version is pink while the Seek version is blue, the Cd design is the same for both versions and both versions come with a Cd, photobook, poster, stickers, postcards and a random member photocard. The photobook is different for both versions as is the postcards, poster and sticker sheet.

Track List:
표정관리 (Fronting)
만세 (Mansae)
어른이 되면 (When I Grow Up)
OMG
Rock



































I have the Hide version and much prefer the layout for Boys Be compared to 17 Carat, I would love to eventually have the Seek version as well as the other versions of their other albums so that I have a complete Seventeen collection. I love that the pictures within the photobook show the boys having fun while they mess around and seem to be on the hunt for something. I love that some of the pictures look like they're behind the scenes of their actual shoot. The track list itself is amazing each song is different from the one it follows and gives off a different vibe, it's definitely a step up from 17 Carat meaning they are growing not only as performers but as song writers and music producers. 
Now slip into the diamond life and check out the tracks below.

어른이 되면 (When I Grow Up)

표정관리 (Fronting)

OMG

Rock

만세 (Mansae)

More members are being added to my bias list all 13 members will eventually be my full list, but as always my main UB for Seventeen is Jeonghan and I now love his shorter hair, my other favourite members (you may notice some are different from my last Seventeen post) S.Coups, Hoshi, Woozi (3 captains) and Wonwoo. I love seeing what Seventeen will come out with next but my main request for a release is a studio version of Jun and The8's Chinese version of My I.

What's your favourite track from Boys Be?
