[caption id="attachment_337921" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="Raewon, Yua, Sechang, Tagoon"][/caption] Last month, vocal group BoM made their debut with their first single, "Without You", and earned the attention of many for not only their impressive live skills, but their diverse experience and backgrounds. The boys recently sat down for an interview with Newsen and revealed themselves to be "ambitious idols". Leader Sechang (21) explained, "Our priority is for BoM to do well, but in the long run, we hope to do well in every aspect there is, which is why I think 'ambitious idols' fits us the best." Although they were a bit shy at first, their eyes began to sparkle and shine once the topic of ambition came up. Main vocalist Raewon (25) is known for having served in the army at the Blue House under the presidencies of the late Roh Moo Hyun and Lee Myung Bak. He revealed, "I like old ballad styles. I'd love to put out a solo album one day singing ballad songs completely in my own style. I emulate senior Kim Yeon Woo." Maknae Yua (18), who has experience acting in KBS's 'Dream High', revealed his hopes of excelling in all areas of dancing, singing, and acting. Rapper Tagoon (19) said, "I want to perform strong hip hop rap. I'd love to be able to work in a unit group with the hyungs in Block B. We all have something we want to do and have a lot of talents. We're like an onion that still has something to show with each layer you peel off. Since we don't have many members, listeners are able to really see the different charms in our parts." On being compared to ballad group 2AM, the leader concluded, "We're similar in that we're both vocal ballad groups, but they are still very much more talented than we are. As we are still rookies, we hope to stand on more stages, gain more experience, and hopefully improve with each new album. They're seniors that we hope to learn from."
