Ceci Korea Jan Issue B1A4 interview translations

JINYOUNG

Producing, singing, dancing, acting and even variety, he naturally accomplishes them all. And we all tend to forget, how many things is he accomplishing. Actually, he said this indifferently "I try my best to accomplish what has been given to me, in that way, I feel that I will not feel betrayed by the results."

10 years later - I have received a lot of questions like "What will you be doing 10 years later?" So I tried and wrote the song "10 years later" painstakingly. I naturally had thoughts like "I really cannot idle my time away, I really need to live to my fullest". I always try not to be faint in my attitude, and always living in mind control, but when I wrote a song like this, it made me emotional.

Male fans - Even though they are not literally "fans", but ever since Produce 101, my popularity increased. When I hear Oh My Girl and IOI fans telling me "Thank you for the good song", "Hyung, I like your song" I feel happy. Of course, because I want to be acknowledge but the same gender too. 

Praises - I think it is a little embarrassing to talk about the things that I have done well last time. However, no matter how stern (with myself) I can be, I still need praises. If I can praise myself, then I can take this confidence and do anything isn't it?

BARO

Baro always looks at the opposite party right into the eye, there is no hesitation to be the one who starts talking first. When I look at him talking about the things he likes excitedly, I can't help but think of the words that is often said, "He really is like a B-type person"

Music - My little sister debuted with the stage name "I". For a solo activities, my sister is the first (among us) to do it. Even though I am not envious, I have desires of wanting to show my own music abilities. Whenever I do a solo stage during concert, the response is good. I find it fun to make my own music and show it.

Shopping - I often good at "choosing" the correct item. I really controlled a lot last year. Last autumn, I didn't even buy anything from my favourite Supreme. Even though it is not possible to stop shopping entirely, but now I buy lesser things. Because I wanted to waste less, I ended up saving lots of money. Haha.

Travel - I still have yet to travel on my own. I really liked the Laos trip I went with "Youth over flowers". I always say even though now we have changed a lot, but Laos hasn't changed much? If I were to go on a tour, Spain would be the 1st. I want to watch FC Barcelona's game with my own eyes.

SANDEUL

Sandeul's skills has clearly positioned himself as a vocalist, from a certain point, you can think that he is very gifted. However, when we get to talk to Sandeul a little, we came to know. The heart Sandeul has which is filled with the emotions and to communicate right now, he simply uses the same heart to sing and deliver.

Age - When I hear juniors telling me they like my song, I feel like I have really become a senior. I feel proud but at the same time I feel weird too. In my heart, I want to be young and immature always, like the forever 5 years old Crayon Shinchan.

Singing - Whenever I go on music programs, I always prepare without sleeping well. Everything is very uncertain. There is no such thing as when you do well for the first time, you will do well for the second time. In anyway, singing is the best thing I can do, even though I cannot be better than those who sing well, but I feel I have to be more hardworking than them. I have two things, firstly, face it. Secondly, work my best for it. When I first came to Seoul from Busan, I was 19 year old. When I think back, I didn't have any fears.

Praise - Firstly, once I start on something, I don't easily give up. When the people around me sees it, they will think that I only work, even with that, I can't stop thinking about it. I want to end the new year with a song. I am really curious how a song that I make and being sang together by the members will sound like.

GONGCHAN

B1A4's maknae is turning 24 this year. (T/n: I think the editor wrote it wrongly?) During the interview, his eyes are always big and shining when he talks fans. Like that is the happiest thing.

Age - Whenever I age a year, I always ask myself "What do I want to learn more, there are things that I will feel". I like that time passes like this. I am basically pretty naive. I can comfortably accept any changes generally. So this year, I also want to try picking up more things.

Hobbies - Recently I have been collecting fan art. I save fan draw art and use it as my SNS profile pictures. At first, I find it very interesting that I have fans. Now, there are fans who have left, but I don't think of it as the end. In reality, there are some who came back, and I know that there are those who are cheering for us from afar. 

Romance - Senior Cha Taehyun got married with the first love his met from his high school isn't it? I find that the prettiest. No matter who, I find it hard to keep things lasting and be together through thick and thin.

CNU

After taking off his specs, Shinwoo said his vision is now 0.8. If there is any habits that remains from when he had bad eyes, it would be that he will knit his forehead and answer the questions one by one sincerely. During filming, as expected, CNU was the member who is very cheerful and was joking around.

Music - In the album this time, the song "Night mare" gets the best response when I let people around me listen to it. I feel that the wall between idol's music and the music the public listens to have crumbled down quite a bit. So I decide to work harder. I want to be able to do and show even better music.

Romance - As I get older, I think deeper about romance and love. There are parts about Shin Dongwoo that people cannot leave out. I also wish for all of my members to be able to have a good relationship. Even if it doesn't go smoothly, it is okay. We might break up, even though we may fight, but I hope that I can have a relationship whereby when we look back, we really loved hard and because of that, we felt that there were no regrets.

Troubles - It is good to have a hobby that I am immersed in when I am not working but I do not have any. I exercise, write songs, I also do things that I like but a part of it still contains work so I don't feel like I am really resting. Even though I am not exactly very positive and generous to myself, but I still love and treasure myself. I find that I am quite an okay person.
