The truth of secret love, if it’s you, what would you do?
—— In previous story, after the manly『 Warrior』, they started their activity with a 180 degree image differ with a delicate ballad song 『Secret Love』. Although it’s a song depicting the hidden romance between entertainers, is this the real experience of the lyricist, Yongguk?
Yongguk: ”Ah~, it’s not that although I have been told often (laughs). I wrote this when I was inspired by the movie 『Notting Hill』. I did not want to write about a common love song. Since the output was good, it also became the memorable piece among my songs. As for myself, I have not experience secret love before (laughs)”
—— If now, you are in love, will you keep it a secret from your member?
All members “…. (Silence). (In a low voice) Behind, behind!”
(Manager “Everyone, this means they will not be in love”)
All members “(In a low voice) Scary! (laughs)”
—— In the CD featuring, which is the same company’s senior, Secret, Ji Eun, during recording, what did you all talk about with her?
Daehyun: “As Ji Eun senpai is also a very busy person, we did not have any time that match which we can have a special talk”
Youngjae: “Indeed, it feels like a secret love (laughs). Although the expression of feeling was difficult, Ji Eun senpai who has recorded earlier, because of that by listening to the song as reference, it was very helpful to us”
Himchan: “In music program, we had a collaboration with Ailee, the interpretation of the song is very good”
Yongguk: “That’s right. Before going on stage, we practiced together, the power of expression was great. She seemed to interpret after listening the song herself. That’s why, did we do it better?”
—— In Korea’s reality program 『Ta-Dah It’s B.A.P』, you all self-produced 『Secret Love』’s MV and each one has a role right. Please tell us about the episode during the production.
Deahyun: “My position was the writer, Youngjae, the director, and Yongguk hyung was in charge of the camera, because of they were too eager, the shooting was done over a long period of time. The staff and production team did not complain because the two were too engrossed… (laughs)”

2) Him Chan : ZELO… I’m sorry. Forgive me the big brother who can’t draw you and only draw you like this.
3) SECRET’s interview. Jieun : I worked with Bang Yongguk. However, when I first met him, I was surprised because the speed when he was speaks, he spoke very slow… kkk. He takes two seconds to answer when we ask him questions.(*^^*)
4) Zinger : Nowadays I study English with Jong up. He is so polite! There are no honorifics in English but he says it to nuna(means big sister) anyway when he speaks in English. He is cute like a puppy.
