B.A.P did/carried out their comeback. Although it was a blank period as short as approximately 2 months, strangely enough, it felt that their seats are very large. Maybe because of that, their comeback this time, gathered a great/much attention than before. Along with B.A.P, there are many comeback of star group, but because their debut achievement, they were particularly shining among those star group. They are not just shining from the surface/appearance, it’s because they shines from the inside.

 

 

The priority role given now is to work well rather than love
The image of B.A.P that the fans think is very strong/powerful. We will surely lost if we fight with them, that is what the imagine would be. We can feel the strength and charisma from the oldest in the group, Bang Yongguk and Himchan, and also the youngest 15 years old Zelo as a rapper standing on stage, giving an impression of a strong aura which do not meet his age. However, their appearance when they got off stage were very cute and boys with nice smile.
—— Although the blank period was about 2 months, it feels like a long time, how have you been? Yongguk: Yes! We were fine! We wanted to show our appearance to our fans fast/soon, we have been preparing with our utmost effort.
—— The music video is really cool! If there is any episode during the shooting please tell us about it. Although I think that there were a lot of hardships/ troubles filming that… Zelo: Please do not pursue too much. Because it was really hard… During shooting, the green paint was painted on our body and after that our skin tone became a lot worse… The shooting was done until midnight and we continue wearing the wet shoes… There were bruises to the extent. Himchan: Because my order of shooting was the latest, I do not have much trouble/difficulties… (laughs).
—— The music video’s scale was really large. I think it took a lot of production costs too… Yongguk: That right. The size of spaceship with the weight of 700kg and height of 18m is very overwhelming. It took approximately 3 months for the staff to complete the spaceship. Everyone look at us can call us “spinal cord breaker (?)”. Eat up the spinal cord (?) of the society… (laughs). Although it’s a joke, it seems like spreading what we saw in a block buster Hollywood movie, I’m very happy.
—— Was there any injury? The performance was also intense, I thought there would be many accident… Yongguk: Of course there was! Perhaps because of the thick makeup the face was swollen here and there… In addition, there was an accident during the scene of kicking choreography. I have been kicked in the face by Zelo. The problem is, the blood came out from my face… Zelo: I’m really sorry. But that wasn’t on purpose. Yongguk: I know this (laughs). Besides that, our whole body was painted and even now it has not disappear… Also I could not found the way (make it disappear)… Also for part in the performance where we spread/open our leg, perhaps because we did not stretch enough, when we get up after shooting, everyone cried in pain (laughs).
—— There is a lot of painful episode… Is there any interesting/funny episode (laughs)? Daehyun: The music video filming location was at more of the coastline in Incheon and I was really troubled because there was no toilet. I wanted to use the bottom of the huge bridge as a toilet but somehow I did not go. I endured for a long time, in the end when I ran/rush to that toilet to get it done, I saw the light of a car from a distance. The soldiers who were riding in the car, they saluted/greeted me when they saw me. Do not look at it in much detail… (laughs).
—— Because of the busy schedule, I thought that you all will not be able to meet your family often too… Jongup: Yes… During this time, I suddenly had time, I secretly went home without telling my parents, everyone was really surprised. Especially my brother who thought that there was a thief entered our house (laugh). I hided secretly and made everyone surprised (laugh). Himchan: Same goes to me. My mother was surprised and let out a huge voice “Kya!”, I think that my father was surprised that he almost fall down, I almost got scold (laughs).
—— If this album is successful, you all will also show great gratitude toward your family. Youngjae: Yes. Because of that we practice hard every day. To be honest, in the beginning, I was concerned whether I were be able to achieve, but I have noticed that if you try hard there is nothing that cannot be done. Love? I am not really interested in that now. We do your best with the role given to us and we do your best not to disappoint your fans, that’s our top goal/objective. Please look forward to our activity this time.

Quickly “give me now” this magazine which introduces artist, a new series will start following after INFINITE ♥ A connect relay with asking question among member. An interview, along with B.A.P’s comeback! A relay in order starting from the maknaes to the leader. Part 1, maknae, Zelo will interview Jongup. Zelo is the maknae in B.A.P and also the tallest. He still has small children cheeks and he’s 15 year old! However, his rap is aggressive to ultra-high-speed. In contrast with the dramatic performance on stage, during the interview, he smiles and talks gently. The on and off gap, the presence of someone who came out from a two-dimensional which is his charm.

If it’s the young Zelo, will you able to have an innocent love?

Zelo: “Finally our series has started! Part 1, me, Zelo, will interview B.A.P’s dancing machine, Jongup hyung, I will explore the presence of my own! Well, let’s begin the question immediately. What is my first impression?”
Jongup: “The first time I saw Zelo was during June last year. We were still trainee at that time. When I came back from school and drop by the practice room, Zelo was there. Because I heard the people in the company said that “a child who is in charge of rap has came”, “is this the child who in charge of rap…, he is tall” that was what I thought of (laughs). When we got along, at that time we talked about various things right?”
Zelo: “Yes. We talked about dancing right. Then Jongup hyung told me “Show me your dance”.”
Jongup: “Yeah. Zelo danced very well while he was a little shy. With surprising ability, although he was still a junior high school student”
Zelo: “A year has passed since then, Jongup hyung, from what you saw, did I change?”
Jongup: “When we first met, because having such technique during that age, on the other hand the thought being an important person, because you are so skilful, I thought you were someone who brag about yourself. I thought that will you will also show your pride to the senior. But, in fact when we live together, you are very pure. I can know your progress with your effort and passion, I also saw you growing daily. Recently, your muscle is also growing (laughs). If I were to become Zelo, for Zelo’s body, I will exercise firmly and will create a body/ body shape for him (laughs)”
Zelo: “Huhuhu, I am glad/happy. Because I admire Jongup hyung’s muscle. During 『Power』, Jongup hyung’s performance is really cool!”
Jongup: “Difficult techniques/moves are also introduced. One of the technique/move is called “Wa Wa (?)”. Then, at the high point of the song, there is a technique/move called “Hook”. The choreography which look like chopping the wood, become the point of this song”
Zelo: “The feature is also the dance which used the spray. What should I do if I drop the spray when I am dancing?”
Jongup: “Without picking it up and pretend holding the spray (laughs)”
Zelo: “Yes, Sir! Well then, the next question. Compare/illustrate me with “I am OO person”.”
Jongup: “Zelo is “a young person”. Young boy! Still a child (laughs)”
Zelo: “Although I’m still a child, is there a part/point like that which can be respected? Please praise me~”
Jongup: “First of all, height (laughs). I am a bit weak standing in front of public, but when Zelo stand and show in front of public, he likes to draw people’s attention. It is also necessary for B.A.P, I’m envious/jealous of that part of Zelo. Besides, when practice dancing while playing over the music, I feel like it matches Zelo. When we dance together, it’s very interesting”
Zelo: “We match/fits right!”
Jongup: “Our taste(?) of laughter are the same right! In the future, I feel that we will likely to have a long-term relationship (laughs)”
Zelo: “If you were to introduce a member to your sister, who will you introduce?”
Jongup: “Zelo! The reason is because he is the youngest (laughs). If I have a sister, will she be same age as Zelo or younger than Zelo, because of that, would be able to have the most pure love/purest love. Although the other hyungs are not bad, but it’s a little…. (sweat)”
Zelo: “Huhu, Thank you. Next I will talk a lot about Jongup hyung. Please look forward to it!”

In the next issue, Jongup will interview Zelo♥♥♥!

—— Yongguk, as a lyricist, what is the thing that you care about?
Yongguk: “I think that to convey a story is the most important. The music of B.A.P is that message is put into it, which is different from other idol. To convey message to all the people who listen to our music, but I think that this is the basic as an as an artist

Before debut, there is a program called 『Ta-Dah It’s B.A.P』 on MTV Korea, leader, Yongguk did a collaboration with BEAST’s Yosoeb and Secret’s Ji Eun. Just before debut, Yongguk and 15 years old talent rapper K-Pop industry’s maknae, Zelo, started activity as BANG & ZELO. During the increasing expectation, at the end of January this year, B.A.P made their debut by holding a large-scale showcase which attracted 3 thousand people. The debut song [Warrior] with the theme of absurdity in the world and struggle of society, ranked 10th on the Billboard’s World Album Chart. In February, they made their first appearance to the Japanese media through this magazine and also obtain a great response. They started their 2nd Single 『Power』 activities, we also catch up with them in Seoul as they reached their 100day since debut. In addition to this interview, B.A.P’s series has also started from this month onwards. 「Hanryu Pia」 supports B.A.P!

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)

@lee__momo

1) ZELO : We sleep in the same room. There are beds but I prefer the floor. I like to sleep on the floor next to you also. I always get into the gap next to you to sleep, does that annoy you? Jong up : No problem.(^-^)

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.

At that time, “ferocious turtle” did not cross the mind of the interview staff. When I think back, I wanted to say Alligator snapping turtle

On this day, a video message was shot to commemorate the “serial starting on Hanryu Pia” (Here is the link for the video message from B.A.P)! Regarding the comments and the meaning in Japanese, For this?

Although the interview was from the night, six people came into the studio cheerfully. When being asked 「It’s been a long time, were you all doing fine?」 the one who greeted me in Japanese was Himchan. 6 of them answered 「Ittadakimasu」 when sweets souvenirs were prepared for them, since they were eating so fast… I asked the manager 「Perhaps, they haven’t taken your dinner?」and he answer 「That’s right」.

Q. Oppa, during Power promotions, in the broadcasting part of ‘bomb bomb follow me’, is the smile part of the intention?
A. Yes. I saw all the broadcasting and it seems like it’s the most weakest point, wasn’t it too bright?
With that smile, I wish to move all of you.
———————–
Q. I want B.A.P to not break off for a long long time~ I want to be the members’ horsepower, walking confidently together, what’ll B.A.P’s appearance be in 10 years??? I’m curious~!!
A. 10 years, 100 years, 1000 years, B.A.P and BABY are forever.
———————–
Q. Oppa’s deep, low bass voice is really attractive, so far in your life, have you ever hated having it? I’m a girl and I have a bass voice myself, it’s rather complicated T_T
A. I never thought that my voice is attractive, never even thought that I hated it. I love it myself. That’s about it.
———————–
Q. I’m confused towards the members, are they still OK at this point? In the song Power, there’s this lyric (정의는 없어) ‘it has no definition’, really in this society, who is there to believe, I’m confused. Also, in the lyric, there’s the word ‘ego’, if ‘ego’ is 자아(ja-a)ego in korean), when I heard the song, the meaning of the 자아 gives a a lot of different feeling that the 자아 that I know.
I’m curious of what meaning it tried to grasp, the word 자아, in the song. It somewhat bother me to why the word ‘ego’ was chosen, when 자아 has a lot of other meaning.I was curious and can’t think of any other possibilities but to ask the question since I first listen to the music. It was something that left me wandering. 🙂
A. There are possibilities with the definition of this word but I guess it’s no different from the other. In ‘POWER’, there is no other definition other than it being about social justice. Just think of it, this is specifically pointed to them, with anger, saying ‘don’t you have conscience?’. The lyrics to the rap parts in Zelo’s, ego is about self-esteem. When B.A.P sings the song, it means that we are undeterred by them. That is the reason why we said ego, in other words, it’s our self-esteem.
———————–
Q. Yonggukkie oppa! Among all the songs that you made, where would you get your inspiration from?
A. It’s various. For ‘Secret Love’, I was inspired by a movie. ‘What the hell’ was inspired by the social issues. I got my inspiration for ‘Power’ from Picasso’s piece of work ‘Guernica’. Today, I just wait for anything to give me some, I anticipate it everyday.

Q. I just recently read the lyrics and I was very inspired. There is always this constant challenge we have in ourself when we want to achieve something, your appearance really had touched my heart deeply, I think I want to live like that myself too. Whatever the dream, there should be no giving up but to make the best out of the dream is what I’m curious about. Please give me strength so that my dream is impossible.
A. First, I think you’re in desperation. And you should know that it’s the value that’s important. (Say to yourself) My dream is about how long specifically, (who to) meet and gaze upon others, in a desperate hope, that hope will be the driving force to my dream. Giving up will show that I’m weak, perhaps even my appearance will be that as of a dung. What I say is, you have to reflect upon yourself.

I really like your rapping. I really want this to be my dream. If you could give me some advice, thank you. Please treat me well. Thank you~^^! B.A.P! Yes, sir!
A. There really is none on ‘how to do it’. It’s more to your mind and attitude and of course, the hip hop element in you. As for me, I have never once received a professional music education.
