Block B is a South Korean boy group formed in Seoul in 2011. The group consists of seven members: Taeil, B-Bomb, Jaehyo, U-Kwon, Park Kyung, Zico, and P.O. They are known for their diverse discography, which spans a wide range of genres from hip-hop and R&B to pop and rock. Block B was created by musician Cho PD with a budget of US$1.4 million. In 2012, the group released their debut studio album Blockbuster which was a commercial success and established the group as one of the top new acts in the K-pop industry. However, in 2013, Block B faced some challenges when they filed a lawsuit against their agency at the time, Stardom Entertainment, and took a small break from releasing music and performing live. Despite these challenges, the group continued to thrive and achieve commercial success with subsequent releases, including the single albums "Jackpot" (2014), "Very Good" (2015), and "H.E.R." (2015). In 2016, they released their first Japanese-language studio album, My Zone, which also ranked in the top ten on the Billboard Japan and Oricon charts. Throughout their career, Block B has received several accolades, including nominations for seven Golden Disc Awards and eleven Seoul Music Awards.
