Q: What will you be doing this upcoming Christmas?
CNU: We have a schedule. We have a fansign and Vapp broadcast.

Q: If you don't have schedule, what would you like to do on Christmas?

Jinyoung: Nothing much, I just want to walk on the streets of Myeongdong while it is snowing.

Sandeul: I want to go diving. (laughs) Going to a place where there is nothing and me being alone doesn't seems too bad. I watch the drama "Entourage" and Seo Kang Jun will go diving whenever he don't feel good. It seems cool...

CNU: The best drama recently is Goblin isn't it. Even though I don't really watch drama but I saw a few episodes. It is very interesting. Coincidentally, I saw an episode and ended up continuing it. I even subscribed to watch it again on the internet.

Q: When there's no schedule on Christmas, you like to watch drama?

CNU: Nope. Actually, I like to go for a drive so I want to go for one. But it seems like a hard thing to do.

Jinyoung: It seems like every year Christmas we have schedules.

Sandeul: Think of that as a good thing.

Jinyoung: Even though its a good thing, I thought its a pity.

CNU: Still, its been a while since we are in Korea this year. Last year and the year before we spent it in Japan.

Sandeul: Since its been a while we spent Christmas in Korea, I think we can spend it with a different feeling.

Q: B1A4 members did various activities this year. Looking back at 2016, how was it?

Jinyoung: It was eventful. We experienced a lot of things. A year where the members all did various things and grow their capabilities. 2016 was a year where we look forward to 2017.

Q: What would 2017 be like for B1A4?

Jinyoung: Safe. No mishap, I hope it can be a happy year. "Happy" would include everything. Being healthy, being successful in our work too. With that, I hope that B1A4 will have a happy year.

Q: Is there anything that you do to be happy when things don't go very well?

Jinyoung: There are times when I watch movie, I also sometimes sing upbeat songs. My style is to forget the bad things.

CNU: For me, I do nothing. I am those kind who don't think and shouldn't think in order not to get stressed. I try my best to just be still.

Sandeul: Recently I met up with my Busan friends. We thought back about our past together. It felt really good to laugh and play when we were young and have nothing. Thinking about my past made me released my stress. I prefer moving around when I get stressed out.

Q: If there is something that you want to tell your fans this year end, what would it be?

Jinyoung: I recommend that you spend your year end with your family this year. Most people would think of spending time with friends. However, this year on the last year, how about making some precious memories with your family? I thought it would be good to be spending it with your family this time.

Q: It seems hard for you to spend time with your family for year end.

Jinyoung: The year end is always the busiest. It has been a while since we always spend crossing over to the next year in MBC.

CNU: I think its been 7-8 years since we have been counting down on MBC.

Sandeul: Its a little regretful that we can't be with the family for the new year. Its been a while the last memory. So I kept thinking about it. I remembered going to Busan Yongdusan together with family.

Q: It's a little early but what is your new year resolution?

Sandeul: Firstly, I hope to be able to go through the year healthily. And I want to work hard and practice so that my songs can be in the next album. I will start with being a small producer and then overtake Jinyoung and CNU hyung. (laugh) I will lead the team in the future.

CNU: I believe in Sandeul thoughts. Its a mature sensibility. Sandeul's solo album this time included his self written self composed song, I feel that it is feel of emotions and a good song to listen to no matter when. Even though Jinyoung is our team's main producer, I thought that as I write songs, the spectrum of B1A4's colour expanded. So I thought if we add in Sandeul's, wouldn't our colours expand even more.

Sandeul: Let's wait and see.

CNU: I think he will write songs that all age group will like, songs that even the older people will like.

Sandeul: There might even be a totally new genre. Something like EDM Trot. No matter what kind of songs, I should try composing it first. While I am writing for this album, I have a lot of emotions. Before we decided on the songs I listened to hyungs music. Jinyoung's songs are started like a tunnel but CNU's songs seems to changed the tunnel, the feeling is good. It feels so good that I want to join in too. I want to make a music like the tunnel's emergency exit.

Jinyoung: I think that it is good. Members are hungry in terms of music, and want to participate in the album.

Sandeul: Our hyungs are really cool.

CNU: I think it would be cool to include all of the members self composed songs in a mini album.

Even though B1A4 seems quite, they are not quiet, it seems like they are showing us their images once in a while but they are a diligent group constantly having activities. Next year they are in their 7th year since debut and they are displaying good dynamics acknowledged by others.

Debuting from WM Entertainment in 2011, even though B1A4 isn't a rookie group who came like a comet, but they started and succeeded with a nick name "Elementary school president". They received rookie award and also got their first 1st place after 2 years of debut with hit song "What's happening".

The song "What's happening" which got 1st place what their 4th mini album, and B1A4 has been releasing 2 albums per year since debut. Also, they have their own reality and own concert into their 2nd year. After releasing their first full length album, they also debuted in Japan. Putting "hit the iron while its hot" into practical use.

After that, they ride on their rising popularity, they bounced higher and released their 2nd full length album, and started their world tour from Taiwan, USA, Japan, Australia, Southeast Asia etc.

As the team gets stabilized, the members also started their solo activities. Jinyoung was born again as an actor through Mnet Music drama "Perseverance Goo Haera, MBC Warm and Cozy, and recent KBS2 Love in the Moonlight. He also displayed his song writing skills as he participated in Produce 101's In the same place, IOI's Wait, When the cherry blossoms fade, Oh my girl's One step two step and so on.

Sandeul as expected went towards the public through music. He showed the public the singing skills that they did not know of on MBC King of Masked Singer, he also showed his individuality as a solo singer with his solo album "Stay this way".

CNU got casted as Chess' main actor. Baro acted in MBC Angry Mom, he also did varieties like SBS Laws of the jungle, tvN's Youth over flowers. Gongchan was the MC for KBS2 A song for you.

In such a short time, all 5 members were able to show their talents in the areas where they do good at. Of course, compared to the past, they took a longer period (for comeback), but unexpectedly, B1A4 grew as they did their activities together and separately. As much as they took a long time to make a come back, they also released a high quality album.

Since 2012, B1A4 has been promoting using songs their write on their own. In 2014, their 2 full length album Who am I consisted of 8 self written songs out of the 12 songs, the number increasing sharply. Their latest album Good Timing, they provided us with 13 out of 13 self written tracks.

CNU revealed during Good Timing showcase, "It has always been a dream to have a full length album with all self written and composed songs. I feel like we fulfilled that dream and grew a lot, and think that it is a step into somewhere where we can growing more." 

It is not a common thing to see idols releasing an album with all self written tracks. Towards the end of their 6th debut year, B1A4 continue to grow and is becoming a respectable idol.

What's even more surprising is that B1A4 has not had one scandal. The members promoted with a stain on their name and has firm teamwork. B1A4 also visit one another as the promote individually, cheering on each other sincerely.

Jinyoung said in the interview once that his heart still flutters when he sees the members occasionally, showing the affections he has for the members. On Good Timing showcase with regards to the 7 year jinx, he mentioned that "there are still a lot of things that we are curious about each other, there are also lots of things to talk about" CNU also said "We are fans of each other".

Like this, even if B1A4's proper and acknowledged activities doesn't gather great interest from the public, it is still possible that they will go a long way.

One person in the entertainment industry said "As idols promote longer, they tend to sway more to solo activities, B1A4 does well in acting, variety, song writing and so on, so we look forward to them".

He also added "When B1A4 first debuted, their concept was innocent and cheerful. It is similar to SHINee, as they show their mature image, they are also looking to develop. B1A4 is like SHINee, they maintained their charms and create their own growing up stories, so I thought the possibility of them becoming a long lasting group is high."
