BANG YONGGUK 900331
“I have a stubborn side to me where I have to express and do everything I want to. I think I’m someone who just needs to be let loose. Because the music category for idols is really narrow, there are many times where it doesn’t fulfill my wants. One day, I want to create an album with my ideal songs.”
Resources of the Universe in my Head
I’m always thinking of hundreds of things in my mind, but they don’t get organized well. From then on, I gained a habit of writing it on a memo pad or recording it somewhere. Although my mind isn’t organized, I have to express what I want to do and organize a guide, so I might look like a crazy person to others when I’m mumbling nonsense. I always fall into my own creative desires, so it’s a problem that I extend my hand towards music that isn’t idol-like. Because I like ridiculous genres and work on them first, a couple of the songs on the album are like that as well. There’s a new item that excites me lately, and I’m hoping it will come out during our next, next album? I want to express the meeting of jazz and hip-hop through an idol song, and I’ve also created a goal to create a new genre for each album. I even thought about a couple of topics, one of them being ‘father’. Even if you are born a male and become older, you won’t be able to understand the hearts of all fathers unless you become a father yourself. A world for only men that females won’t be able to understand. I want to heavily express the condensed and enriched life of a man. Because it’s an area where I don’t have experience in yet, I want to talk with fathers all over the country and express it for the first time through jazz hip-hop. For the music ranking… I don’t think it will be able to enter the top 100 again. However, well, because money and rankings aren’t important to music. Ah… because these minor thoughts are caught on the borderline between public’s thoughts and an artist’s thoughts, my mind will never be organized.

“If I’m given the chance later on, I want to do try a crossover with hip-hop and new age music like Yani. I know how to do a bit of composing even if I’m not that great at it, but I really want to do music like this. A team called ‘2nd Moon’ was really famous with their ‘Princess Hours’ O.S.T. I want to crossover a variety of songs, not to become an issue, but out of sincerity.”
Hip-Hop Boy who Loved Traditional Music
2 years ago, when I first came in as a trainee and talked about new genres and music with Yongguk, we talked about the crossover of traditional Korean music and hip-hop. As someone who majored in traditional Korean music, I couldn’t be more thankful with Yongguk’s interest towards traditional music. We were wondering how we could appeal the proper music of traditional Korean music, so that it would receive love from the public—- Because it was sort of an assignment. The members of B.A.P don’t show a biased viewpoint with music. Whatever music it is, we feel, learn a lot, and grow. The efforts put into wanting to learn these new things create touched emotions. Our members even learned traditional percussion from me for a month. That’s why our song, ‘No Mercy’, doesn’t seem so distant from them and wasn’t an unfamiliar thing. We actually received quite good reactions with the combination of traditional Korean music and hip-hop that we tried for the first time after calmly breaking free from the molds of idol music. I felt like I accomplished something because I received calls from my high school friends saying that it was cool, they were touched and thankful. However, there were parts I felt sad about. When you think of ‘Korea’s traditional music’, you think of Pansori first, then traditional percussion, and the Taepyeongso. If we had revived the Taepyeongso sounds that ‘Seo Taiji and Boys’ used in 1993 with ‘Whichever’, I feel like our dance break part would’ve been livened up a bit more. Because when traditional Korean music performances took place overseas, the Taepyeongso and traditional percussion sounds gained the best reactions, so I believe that it will can create a song that remains in overseas K-POP fans’ minds more.

“Because I feel like our fans are always next to us, I feel happy. They feel like my friends because they give off this reassuring feeling like bodyguards do. When I had my first interview with ‘Inkigayo Magazine’ before, I said I hope that the fancafe would exceed 5000 members, and the current amount of 45000 fans signed up. Although I can’t promise anything right now, I ask for a lot of love and interest. Because you guys are with us, I’m happy.”
Idols, A Musical Consideration Towards the Accessibility of Social Problems
As we recently started ‘No Mercy’ promotions, I’ve been able to learn about political and social problems through various news sources. Even when watching a movie, I choose one with a social problem as its story and create emotions about it. As I fall into it, I can experience my expressing of emotions to be at its maximum level. It’s the truth that to clearly show the message that B.A.P is trying to express onstage with direct emotions of sadness and happiness. In order to expand my ability to express emotions, the only thing I can do now is to think about things that make me really angry, bad topics that are currently becoming a large issues, and the many things that are going on in this country. I control my breathing and create a voice on stage for fans to agree with a bit more as a spokesperson who uses music as a medium.

“As the person in charge of cleaning our dorms, I want to apologize to our two youngest members, Jongup and Zelo, for making them do rough tasks lately. ‘Hyung will do it now.’ Although the dongsaengs are still young so they probably don’t know it well, but I want to ask for all the members to just do this one thing. Please clean up what you ate! Since I started 3 days ago to show an example, let’s all clean up nicely and live.”
Ideal Outer Appearance and Inner Looks, Feel Catharsis
Truthfully, I was happy to be given the most attention during the styling for this concept. Changing from the warrior image during our 1st and 2nd albums, I personally really liked the detailing for this concept like the neon colored beanie or giving a point to the style with red socks. And I could never wear a trenchcoat before. I want to try wearing suits next time. I succeeded on changing my outer appearance, but because this was an album that was important to show my inner maturity as well, I studied hard. As someone who really likes R&B music, I found B.A.P’s fierce songs hard and new because I haven’t sang songs like that often before. But I received a lot of things because I feel I can express them just as fiercely now. Compared to our other albums which were only filled with hip-hop sounds, we showed our variety in this album with ballads and club songs. ‘Voicemail’, which was written by Yongguk hyung, is the ideal song for me. The R&B melody that I like was changed into something fit towards the public, and the song ‘Dancing in the Rain’ also displayed my positive points. A positive change started once I realized that I can do well in styles that are expressed more freely. Although I haven’t recorded a song that I really like, I feel like I was able to quench my thirst a bit through this album.

JONGUP 950206
“I’m not the same everyday. There are times where I’m loud and chatty, and there are times when I’m really quiet. I don’t think I can define myself. I really go back and forth. I don’t like serious things and I like to play around a lot. Although I’m thankful to those who say I have a clumsy charm, I’m actually quite bright and sometimes become the mood maker.”
The Leap Towards the Best Performance of My Life
I’m still lacking a lot. There are still many hills I need to climb and many competitors I need to beat. I, Jongup, am talking about dancing, which I love as much as my life. I’m really happy to hear that I exist with performances in B.A.P, who is called a performance group. Thinking up of difference dances, difference feels to lead the stage is a good fence and it’s a good code to repeatedly show modesty and self-reflection to groups who exist as wordless teachers. Truthfully, there are many things I want to try out. I created my destiny with dancing during my 1st year of middle school when I went to wait for my friend, who was in the dance club for his extracurricular activity, and became surprised by the world of dancing. I sometimes miss the days where I’d go to competitions with the club and win awards. And I have a wish to make my new goal come true. Because Zelo is a dongsaeng that really likes dancing as well, how would we do at a street competition if I choreographed something with Zelo? I think I wouldn’t be able to sleep and stay up all night watching the ‘Step Up’ series.

ZELO 961015
“Although there are positive points to being tall, I want to stop growing. The hidden meaning behind this is that I want to grow in other areas besides my height. Because I had a lot of greed ever since I was younger, there were many things I wanted to do. If I were to pick one of them, it would be producing and composing and writing lyrics like the hyungs. The word, ‘stop’, will never be there when growing musically.”
The Child Eats the Fruits of Growth
People say that my young age is my positive point. Uhm—- well, I’m still in the middle of growing. I have a lot of greed and my stamina is good, so I’m working hard and practicing a lot. I’m embarrassed and don’t know what to say when a lot of people compliment me for always showing a professional side to myself on stage, erasing the fact that I’m 15. Truthfully, I have an age gap of six years with our leader, Yongguk hyung, but wouldn’t it be a bother if I acted like a little kid because I was the youngest and the entire team would go into a mess just because of me? But thankfully, the hyungs take care of me well and I’m in the middle of putting an effort to not break our team’s flow by only concentrating on that. Ah, the rap I did with Yongguk hyung used saturi (T/N: dialect), and received good reactions. Although I was sad because there wasn’t a lot of practice time, saturi rap has this really pleasant feeling in the mouth like English raps! It was a newly found thing. Even though it’s fun because it doesn’t end and continues on, there are times where I can’t control my breath. There was even a time that I made a mistake on stage because the breathing didn’t match with my dancing and rapping. Recently, I’ve constantly been practicing to make it something automatic. Because I’m still young, because learning, putting in an effort, and trying things out will take me onto a road of a good future.
