Their first single album "Do U Wanna B?", along with the title's track MV '그대로 멈춰라!' (Freeze), were released on April 14th, 2011.
Previously known in the underground hip-hop scene by Blockbuster (블록버스터), the group had several changes until their current formation: Zico (leader, group's producer and rapper), Jaehyo/안재효 (sub-vocal), B-Bomb (main dancer and sub-vocal), Taeil/이태일 (main vocal), Park Kyung/박경 (rapper), U-Kwon (dancer and lead vocal) and P.O (rapper).
The members were trained by Cho PD to work on writing and composing about 100 songs over the course of their training period. Training them to become a singer-songwriters, he hoped to expand their experience and competence level, as well as promote "expert ease".
In 2018, leader Zico did not resign with Seven Seasons, leaving to start an independent music label, KOZ Entertainment. The remaining six members resigned.
In the statement released by Seven Seasons, discussions are still being made about how the group can continue with all seven members. In the meantime, the group will be focusing on sub-units and solo activities as compulsory military enlistment approaches for the members. The members have also mentioned in their solo schedules that the Block B will continue as seven.
Toy
Block B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
싫증 날 때까지 갖고 놀면 돼
널 위해서라면 날 부러뜨려도 좋아
because I'm a toy, toy
쓸모 없어지면 버려 몰래
문득 어렴풋이라도 기억될수만 있다면 나
Everything I do it for you
담아왔던 속 얘길 나눌 때면
날 어루만지고 나서야
미소를 지었던 너야
얼마 안 돼 구석에 놓이겠지만
이 운명은 네 소유인 걸
Girl use me while you can
I'm all yours
난 너에게 더 이상 바랄게 없어
나로 인해 채워지는 널 본다면
꺼내줄 수 있어 다 가져가 주겠니
사랑이 장난이면 가차 없이 날 이용해
Now you know, all you need is me
I'm your toy, I'm your toy, I‘m your toy
사랑이 장난이면 가차 없이 날 이용해
"도대체 난 무엇일까 너한테"
이런 질문도 욕심일까
나한텐있는 거 없는 거
다 쏟아부었지만
소박한 기대조차 사치라 느껴진다
어차피 네 세상에서 한 발짝도 못 떼
아름답던 사이로 남아
추억 속에 진열되면 돼
네 마음 한적해지면 날 발견할 수 있어
사랑은 바보처럼 하는 게 현명할지도
아무 말도 해줄 수 없는 나
침묵하는 내 입술은 벌써
몇 장의 편지를 써냈어
나 하나쯤의 가벼운 아픔이지만
네가 슬퍼하길 원해
Girl use me while you can
I'm all yours
난 너에게 더 이상 바랄게 없어
나로 인해 채워지는 널 본다면
꺼내줄 수 있어 다 가져가 주겠니
사랑이 장난이면 가차 없이 날 이용해
Now you know, all you need is me
I'm your toy
우린 평등할 수 없겠지
넌 내게 단 하나고 난 그 중 하나일 테니
주제넘지 않게끔만 헌신하면서
시작도 안 해본 이야길 마무리 지어
당장 타올라도 바람 앞의 촛불
널 밝힌 만큼 흐르는 눈물
이 달리길 갑자기 멈추면 난 분명히 넘어져
한 번만이라도 함께 걸어줘
난 너에게 더 이상 바랄게 없어
나로 인해 채워지는 널 본다면
꺼내줄 수 있어 다 가져가 주겠니
사랑이 장난이면 가차 없이 날 이용해
Now you know, all you need is me
I'm your toy, I'm your toy, I‘m your toy
사랑이 장난이면 가차 없이 날 이용해
The lyrics to Block B's song "Toy" describe a character who feels useless and dispensable in a relationship, willing to do anything for their partner's amusement or pleasure. The character compares themselves to a toy, something to be played with until they become boring and are discarded. The idea of being used for someone else's entertainment is juxtaposed with the idea of love, which may be just as foolish and irrational as using someone else for one's own benefit. Despite feeling unimportant and disposable, the character offers themselves up to their partner, hoping to find some value in the relationship and make it work.
The song is a commentary on the power dynamics in relationships and how easily individuals are objectified and dehumanized by others. The lyrics also express a sense of resignation and acceptance, as if the character has given up on finding true love and is willing to settle for being someone else's plaything. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "I'm your toy" over and over again, reinforces the idea that the character's only worth is in their ability to entertain and please their partner.
Overall, "Toy" is a deeply introspective and self-deprecating song, but it also conveys a sense of longing and vulnerability that is relatable to anyone who has ever felt insecure or undervalued in a relationship. The lyrics are both sad and empowering, encouraging listeners to question their own self-worth and to recognize the ways in which they may be objectifying or neglecting their partners.

내 감정 따위 뭐가 중요해

Because I am just a toy.
쓸모 없어지면 버려 몰래
You can discard me when I become useless.
문득 어렴풋이라도 기억될수만 있다면 나
If I can be remembered just slightly.
Everything I do it for you
I do everything for you.
담아왔던 속 얘길 나눌 때면
When we share deep conversations.
날 어루만지고 나서야
Only when you touch me.
미소를 지었던 너야
You, who smiled.
얼마 안 돼 구석에 놓이겠지만
Even though I will soon be put in a corner.

You are my only one, and I know I am just one among many.
주제넘지 않게끔만 헌신하면서
I will dedicate myself keeping my place and not overreaching.
시작도 안 해본 이야길 마무리 지어
Let's finish the story we never started.
당장 타올라도 바람 앞의 촛불
Even if I burn up now like a candle in the wind.
널 밝힌 만큼 흐르는 눈물
As much as I brightened you, tears flow.
이 달리길 갑자기 멈추면 난 분명히 넘어져
If this race suddenly stops, I will definitely fall.
한 번만이라도 함께 걸어줘
At least once, walk with me.

I think this song perfectly represent fans these days:
We treat them like toys that we own to design them perfectly in our own perspective and idols do whatever we want to make us happy. But one day if they lose popularity we dispose them like trash and no matter what we do they still truly love us
@Melissa-pv3nz
exactly! well said ! but in relationship in everyday life some people use you like a toy and when they have enough they leave you
@Flawlesslmperfection
To me, the people who do that aren't really fans. They're just there to follow a trend or live out some fantasy in their mind. Real fans just want them to be happy.
@muhammadrouhan6121
Like the toys in toy story 😭😭
@aqeyh2am685
Just as JYP said "True fans are those who support you even after your marriage"
May ELFs wanted Seungmin to leave the group after he got married they are the example of fake fans
@alexaencarnacion1781
@aqey h2am Same thing for chen bro breaks my heart that fans don't want them to be happy chen is getting married and having a baby and fans want him to leave the group they deserve to be happy 💔
@saltNpepper952
old kpop songs like these will always be gold
@marshmallow7746
absolutely.
@Juliana-tf7zh
I can't believe I loved long enough in kpop to see a 2016 song get called old. I'm scared how time flies!
@kangsyen4560
Yeah...
