BANAs who love B1A4 should never miss out this video specially prepared for you, in the midst of laughter and talking, we felt the really good relationship the members have with each other.

Video translations:

Q: Member who likes talking the most?

A: Gongchan, Sandeul, Jinyoung, Baro chose Jinyoung, Baro chose CNU, CNU chose Sandeul.

CNU (about Jinyoung): When we go to a place he recommended to eat, he will keep on introducing to us the food.

SD: The more he talk, the more the food don't taste good.

CNU: Recently Jinyoung has been exercising, but as he exercises, he also kept telling us he gained weight, like how many kgs did he gained.

SD: Why do I need to know such stuffs?! He kept telling me how many kgs he gained.

JY: When someone goes to a place I recommend or watch a movie I recommend, and then they come back giving me good feedbacks, I feel very happy.

Q: If you can go for a meetup, which member would you bring?

A: Gongchan, Jinyoung, Baro chose Sandeul, Sandeul and CNU chose Baro.

BR: Previously, I introduced Sandeul to a lot of my friends. When we meet for a meal or something, Sandeul is very humorous, so all my friends likes him and praise him. From then on, every time when I am going to meet someone, I will call Sandeul first.

SD: I chose Baro, but there isn't much of a reason why. It is just that Baro makes me feel very comfortable.

Q: The member who cares about his image the most?

A: Gongchan, Jinyoung and CNU chose Sandeul. Sandeul and Baro chose Jinyoung.

CNU: I feel that Sandeul knows his own image very well. In order to maintain his image of eating well & being healthy, in order not to disappoint the fans, Sandeul is always working hard to keep to that image. When I see him like that, I am envious. 

JY: I also think the same.

SD: That's right. I am actually someone who don't eat very well.

CNU: That's right. Originally... He actually don't eat very well but because of image.

SD: I think it is a happy worry.

Q: Gongchan is the face of B1A4?

JY: Of course Gongchan is our face, if not who can it be?

SD: Gongchan is one of the reason why I want to come to Seoul. Before I came to Seoul, I did a video call with the members and I saw someone who looks really good looking and that person was Gongchan. 

JY: That is the reason why you want to join our group? Thank you. Thank you for wanting to join our team.

SD: I contemplated for quite a while.

CNU: So you thought, it's okay to join this group.

BR: Did you regret?

SD: I did not regret. I chose it.

JY: Thank you for joining our team. Mr Sandeul, please take good care of us.

SD: You did well.

Q: The song you made that left the most impression?

JY: I guess it would have to be the song "Together" that's in the album this time. We chose 50 fans and sang it with them. It is not just a meaningful song for us, but it is also a very meaningful song for the fans.

BR: While writing the lyrics for "10 years later", it left the most impression on me. When I was writing this song, I was in a very difficult time. Just the name of the song itself made me emotional. When I write the lyrics, I felt that it was very relatable. Personally, I feel that it is a song that contains my worry and thoughts.

Q: What is music to B1A4?

JY: Music is a part of our life and it is also something that makes people happy. 

Q: The secret to Sandeul singing touching love songs?

BR: Most of Sandeul's strength for singing comes from food. When we are running for our schedules, he needs to eat more delicious food in order to have strength.

SD: My lower half of my body needs to have energy.

BR: So that he can show everyone a wonderful stage.

SD: When I sing, I use a lot of energy from my lower half body.

Q: Let's say goodbye with Sandeul's voice.

I still remember when people mention about B1A4 a few years ago, fast paced songs like "What's happening", "OK" will come to our mind, the image that these 5 big boys are just like our cheerful school seniors. The members also agreed that "What's happening" is a song that displays the colours of B1A4, and as a BANA you definitely have to know this song.

These oppas also highly recommended "Drunk on you", they mentioned that not only the title song, but the entire album consists of a lot of very great works, and hope that everyone can listen to it. 6 years into their debut, the members showed us their hard work and persistence through the works of their own music.

Other than expressing their gratefulness to their fans through their music, "Together" which was included in their newest album was recorded together with 50 fans, and this song has a special meaning to the composer, Jinyoung. he said the lyrics, "Don't be bother with how others see you, it is enough that we are happy now" was written to encourage fans to have confidence of themselves. He also mentioned that a lot of fans hide the fact that the like a singer because of the stereotype people will give them, and hope that such lyrics can encourage them to be themselves.

Baro who is in charged of rap also mentioned that he wrote his feelings as he filled in the lyrics for "!0 years later". He said when he wrote it 2 years ago, it was a difficult time, and thus when he wrote the lyrics, he felt that it was very relatable. This song displayed the uncertainty of human when they look 10 years down the road.

Music to B1A4 is not just a part of their life, but a companion that grew up with them. CNU agreed that music gave them a lot of chances to meet fans from all around the world, and because of that, he is very grateful to music. Other than just showing us a more and more mature side of them through music, the members also did very well in musicals and dramas, showing everyone the passion and perseverance B1A4 has in the entertainment industry.

On the night they had their Taiwan concert, B1A4 opened the stage with Melancholy, In the air, meeting fans whom they have not seen for very long. That night when the sang OK, and played back their debut stages performance, we reminisce their youthful days in 2011. Followed by catchy songs like My love, Baby I'm sorry, Baby Good night,  they brought the audiences back in time.

Jinyoung agreed that every time when they do a concert, and see that the hall is filled with BANAs, he always thinks that BANAs have magic powers, and exists like a dream. I believe that for B1A4 and people who supports them, just being able to be together, any timing is a Good Timing.
