At the peak of their career, the South Korean boy band, Teen Top enjoyed considerable fame and success – the kind that only wildly successful K-pop groups get in the industry. Their hit single “Clap”, which debuted on July 10, 2010, won them their first-ever award and opened doors to many more accolades and recognition through the years. However, their popularity seemed to wane later in their career causing them to lose fans and go underground for a while. In all of this, they have managed to stay as a group and draw the continued support of their dedicated followers. On June 4, 2019, Teen Top members made a comeback with their 9th studio album Dear N9NE at the Ilchi Hall in Seoul. What more is there to know about the boy band?
