HKAMF 2017 – B1A4 Interview translations

The 7th HKAMF held at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition center successfully ended. This year, we had Korean band, B1A4, representing their country, attracting a lot of fans to this event. Earlier before the event started, we met up with B1A4 for an interview, let's see what do they have to say!

Q: Which of the members do you think suit music that expresses emotions?

JY: Rather than which member is suitable, we can say because different members have their own responsibility in each of the songs, and each of us have our emotions we deliver for our parts, so I guess we can say all of the members suit such music.

Q: On the recent comeback, you guys tried emotional music, are there any music styles you wish to try in the future?
BR: Secret.

JY: Would like to try out a different style, the songs that B1A4 have in general all very suitable to the season we release in, even though we can't say when will we do a comeback, but we will try our best to do music suitable for that season.

Q: The last comeback's results were not bad, are you guys planning for a comeback this year too?

All: This is also a secret.

CNU: Actually, we are always in the midst of planning. it also might be possible that we suddenly do a comeback, so everyone please look forward to it.

Q: When you come to Hong Kong for a concert in May, will there be any special programs or stage that you will prepare for the Hong Kong fans?

JY: In our concerts, I hope we can bring more songs that allow fans to dance and jump with us. We will prepare a lot of stages that fans will like, so please give us a lot of support and look forward to it.

Right after, when a reporter mentioned that someone has released a solo album before, Sandeul replied "Yes, that is me", and was very excited and cute. When asked whether the other members will also release a solo album, CNU said NO without hesitation, making all the members burst out into laughters. When the reporter asked why, CNU replied "We are B1A4, so we always write our songs for B1A4". When the members heard him say this, they immediately clarified that he is just joking, showing us their cheerful and playful image. Thereafter, leader Jinyoung added to express that if there is chance for a solo album they will do it, even though not very sure when, but the chance will come.

Q: Yesterday, the members went to eat hotpot, and what kind of ingredients in the hotpot do you guys like best?

JY: Before we ate hotpot yesterday, we went to eat chicken claypot, as well as dim sum.

BR: I personally like the beef in the hotpot the most.

Q: Last year when Jinyoung filmed Love in the moonlight, there were very good responses. Are you planning to film anymore shows in the future?

A: If the chance comes, I will definitely want to film another show.

Q: In that case, what kind of show would you want to film? Are the rest of the members interested in filming a show too?

JY: I want to try out action films, also, my character in the show this time round was a one-sided love isn't it, so next time when I film for a show, I want to have a fulfilled love line.

Q: How about the other members?

SD: If given a chance, we would want it too.

BR: I just shot a drama that will be aired soon, please look forward to it.

Q: Are there anythings that you are into recently? Or what do the members like to do when there is free time?

SD: I like watching movies.

JY: I also like watching movies.

GC: I like to rest.

BR: I will go shopping, or bring my dog out to play.

CNU: When I have free time, I will usually write songs, or sleep.

Q: If you have time in the future, where do you want to travel to?

The members all said Hong Kong, Jinyoung also mentioned that he came to Hong Kong with his family before and had a lot of good memories, so he wants to come to Hong Kong for a holiday again.

Q: It was almost a year plus since you guys came to Hong Kong for a concert the other time, is there anything you wish to tell the Hong Kong fans? Do you know how to say some cantonese?

JY: We feel very sorry that we are only coming to Hong Kong after such a long time, I know everyone waited for very long, so we are preparing hard now, and will bring to everyone a great performance. As for the cantonese we have learnt, I know "I love you"

Baro kept repeating "hotpot, hotpot", and while the translator was helping to translate, Sandeul was busying trying to practice "I love you" with Jinyoung, it was very adorable.

Q: When you guys come to Hong Kong in May, do you guys have plans to sing a cantonese song for the Hong Kong fans?

SD: This is currently a secret, we will prepare the things that the fans like, so please look forward to it.

Q: Is there anything interesting that happened this Hong Kong trip you can share with the fans?
