Q: What have you been up to?

A: I was busy having fun attending the school that I have been missing out on previously. It's been a while since I attend school and there are a lot of things to do. In my spare time I am also writing songs for B1A4's album.

Q: I want to listen to CNU's "eating alone" stories. What is the food you enjoy the most?

A: I like healthy food so I eat them often. Actually, I used to eat braised spicy chicken or ddeokbokki frequently, but now I am managing my body so I make an eat healthy food. (Q: If you were to introduce one of it to us?) Fried vegetable and beef which is simple and not greasy. You must put in crunchy vegetables like cabbage or bean sprouts into chicken breast meat. The texture is good. Over here, add spring onions and garlic generously, add a little of grounded pepper would be good. It is very important thing to choose the meat. Rather than the fatty part, for beef, choose the tenderloin and for pork, choose the neck. Also, not breaking the meat, after you cook it well, grate it and it is completed.

Q: This doesn't seems like a normal set of skills. Please let us know if you have other good ideas.

A: For protein intake, I often eat eggs. Occasionally, when I get bored of eating boiled stuffs, I fry egg without putting oil. (Q: Wouldn't it stick to the pan? Is is even possible to fry without oil?) After letting it cook a little, add water and it won't stick.

Q: Wa! It surprises me. 

A: Now that you know, Shinwoo is a "sexy guy who knows how to cook". Haha! It's not like that. It's just that I like cooking on normal days.

Q: You got this slim because you ate healthy food? You got even slimmer than when B1A4 had your full group shooting together, you got cooler. 

A: Ah. Thank you. Actually I  realized I have been neglecting my body for a while, so I made up my mind to diet. I control my food intake and exercise at the same time. 

Q: When do you usually do you stuffs? 

A: I am a night owl so I tend to do work at night. During the day time, the surroundings are noisy so it is hard to concentrate, I write songs at night and now it has become a habit.

Q: What do you mostly do when you are alone?

A: This is my worry nowadays. I don't usually have a hobby. In the past, I wanted to be a singer so I want to sing and dance, standing on the stage is fun. Now that it has become a job, it feels a little like I have lost my habits? It feels like I'm in a dilemma. (I know how you feel. But at times like that, the only solution is to find joy in the work.) Yea, that is right. That is why I am working hard in making music, singing, dancing, and shooting for pictorials and making fun out of it.

Q: If there is a talent that you want to take from you member? The last time, Jinyoung said he want's Gongchan's look.

A: Jinyoung is also as good looking. (That was what I said too.) However, we cannot deny Jinyoung's words. There are times that people look gloomy or not good when they are not feeling good. But Channie is good looking no matter when. (Doesn't feels like a human) That is right. The one that I wish to have is Sandeul's sociability. Sandeul has the charm to make everyone feel comfortable. On that part, I wish to be more like him.

Q: If you were to recall B1A4's image?

A: It's like a moon face. (Q: What does it means?) The moon that we see may be bright but it also has a dark side. I think we are like that too isn't it? Even though it is not possible to always have a bright day, but we want to be remembered as a team that always give off a bright hope.

Q: What is the song that you must sing 10 years later in a concert?

A: Beautiful Target. This song played a great part in making B1A4's presence known. Maybe because of that, just thinking about it makes me overwhelmed with emotions.

Q: Today's B1A4's 2000th day isn't it? However, B1A4 still seems to be at its prime.

A: It was a happy thing. There is nothing more encouraging than words that says we are a group that is worth anticipating.

Q: Would you like to say a word to your members taking into thought that today is your debut 2000th day?

A: (To Jinyoung) Even though I don't say things out one by one, you know my heart right? Be it in the past of now, thank you very much for being such a reliable leader. Also, I feel the loneliest when we have schedules without you. (To Baro and Sandeul) Thank you for doing better than expected in your own areas! (To Gongchan) I got reminded of my image trying hard to adapt to an unfamiliar place when we first debut. To be the youngest in B1A4 despite being the oldest at home, it is not easy. However, you are a younger brother who has more personality than your hyungs.

How is it possible that group B1A4 who has debuted for 6 years not waver?

B1A4 who debuted in year 2011 with Let's Fly made their name known through hit tracks like "Baby Goodnight", "Tried to Walk", "What's happening", "Lonely", "Solo Day". Especially, the group's leader writes and composes most of their songs, positioning and confirming themselves as talented group, doing clean and also emotional songs that only they can do, appealing to the popular masses.

Even though it has been more than 1 year since their last group activity when they released their 6th mini album "Sweet Girl", the members has all been active without rest, fighting their own battles in various areas like drama, variety, solo debut etc. Particularly, Jinyoung showed his reliable acting as an "Idol Actor" in KBS drama "Love in the Moonlight" which ended on 18th Oct, and Sandeul debuted with his first solo album "Stay as you are" on 4th Oct, sweeping #1 on various charts, and ascended to being a reliable singer you can listen to, making a complete group comeback even more anticipated.

On 20th Oct, Sandeul told Newens "Our plan is to come back within this year. I am honestly quite excited to see if we would receive more attention when we comeback thanks to Jinyoung."

"Jinyoung hyung did very well. As I watch the drama, I get very proud. Jinyoung really has a steel man's stamina. A steel man stamina that I cannot copy. Jinyoung hyung is also writing songs for the album this time round and I believe he will write good songs. Even as a member, I find it amazing how he can digest so many schedules and still looks good."

B1A4 did not have a scandal in the 5 years in this entertainment world filled with scandals that would make you frown, receiving love from the public and is a team that is growing as they come along till now. While on the roll, rather than having desires for ownself, the members are always like a family, having a heart warming caring heart for each other, rather than money, having a upright heart that pursue their dreams and music, and thanks to that, it is possible.

When asked the question "Through this solo album, Sandeul's position in B1A4 has increased.", Sandeul answered us "I have no idea. I have not thought of positioning such a thing", showing us a carefree smile. He continued, "The relationship between our members are really good. We never have things like bad-mouthing about each other. When I think about why, it is because we are not greedy about things like positioning in the team. When it is positioning, it is about money. However, because it is things that we like to do, so I feel that it is best to not talk about money. When I say don't talk about it, it doesn't mean we don't, but we only talk about it when we need to, on the part that we need to exactly. Also, in situations where we do not need to talk about positioning and money, why should we make it obvious and fight. We definitely do not like to talk about it and we don't like to talk about it."

"If I do well, we do well. I feel that if I did well, we did well too. This heart has been the same since debut till now. My thinking is that this time round Jinyoung's drama did well, in the future, B1A4 will also do well. Also, if my solo album went well, B1A4 will do well. At first, Baro did well in drama and other solo activities, as members, we feel proud of him. Idols often have crisis in their odd years like 3 years, 5 years, 7 years. This is B1A4's 6th year. However, thanks this such thinking, I feel that we will have no worries even when we head into our 7th year."

In this mini album, it consists of title track, "Stay as you are" made by Park Won, depicting a song he sings for some one he don't know but will meet in the future, as well as "Home", "My childhood story", "Ya! (feat Whee In)", "The road we walk together", a total of 5 songs. Sandeul participated in most of the track in lyrics writing, composing songs and revealed the story of the 25-year-old Sandeul. even though not naturally exciting, but the music clean and relatable music was gained more attention and was well received.

On the afternoon of 20th Oct, we met up with Sandeul and talked about the promotional activities this time round, his thoughts and his path as a singer.

Q: Its odd that you have debuted for 6 years and not have desires to debut solo.
A: Rather than saying that I have no desires for a solo debut, all these while B1A4 had a lot of activities, I also have individual activities like musical, web drama, so I did not think about having a solo album. Also, my thoughts about having a solo album would be that I would be writing and composing songs for all of the songs in the album. But I came to realise that it doesn't have to be this way. I listened to various advices from seniors like "A singer is someone who sings a good song.". So my thoughts changed a little. There are a lot of people around me who gave me help so I got a lot of advices, Within those songs that was written for me, I feel that there are definitely songs that I can relate to and would like to sing. My dream is to fill an album that is filled with songs that I write and compose personally. Even though I have thoughts of getting to that level, I feel that before that, I would have to let many people out there know of this singer called Sandeul and because of that I am releasing an album by listening to many advices so that I can become someone whom people can anticipate for.

Q: Last year, you started with King of Masked singer and this year you have 4 wins on Duet Song Festival, musical, even a solo debut, you had a really busy time. Do you have problems with your stamina?
A: It was an unbelievable schedule. Last year, before releasing our mini album "Sweet Girl", I did a musical, after that I did another musical. Then there was Duet Song Festival and now my solo album. At that point, I really thought that I was a steel man. I thought I could go until I really faint. Just a while ago, I had the greatest crisis on my stamina and I was taken aback. At that point of time I thought "I could get sick too". After that, I am now taking care of my throat and body delicately.

Q: In the album you said "What kind of singer would I be in the future, the closest to the answer would probably be a song called "In my 30s.". Why is it "In my 30s"?
A: I think of it as a song that I can't sing now. It is a prohibited song. The first sentence of the song is "Yet another day went far away." I feel that until I am able to feel the lyrics, I can never sing this song. Right now I am 25 years old, from what I see, my days are filled with things, I think about how to spend my days fruitfully. However, to say words like "Yet another day went far away", it is a question whether I can find that carefree heart. Even if it is not a carefree heart, until I can feel that kind of feelings, I would not be able to sing that song. That is way my first solo album, I want to fill it with the thoughts and worries that I have at the moment. The thoughts that I have since I was born, to loosen the things that I've left in my heart, those stifling things.

Q: You also jotted "Carrying several dreams, even though I do not know my final destination, I have arrived at my singer's dream." You look like you would be a singer for your entire life, is it possible for Sandeul to not be a singer at your final destination?
A: That is something I do not know. Of course, I became a singer because I like music, but in the later part I might also become a song writer. Even though I might end up doing something else instead of a singer, right now I want to be able to sing for a long time. I wrote this in my album because I am someone who still has a lot of dreams, up till now I am still dreaming dreams and chasing them positively, telling myself not to stop. In the future, I want to continue developing and be someone who can step forward.

Q: Please say a word to people who became fans through this album, or fans who has always been beside to cheer you on.
A: I hope you can listen to this album with an easy mind. I hope you can relate and reminisce as you listen to my songs. I would be happy if you have thought like "I experienced something like that too" or "I want to be someone like that".

B1A4 members follows and imitate the mushy scripts.

You opened up a second part through KBS Love in the Moonlight. The one who acted as Yoonseong is B1A4's Jinyoung.
I find it amazing. The comments runs fast and the people around me are contacting me a lot. I think it turned out well.

"Love in the Moonlight" is special to Jinyoung.

I've learnt a lot of things and came to know about the things I don't know. If I were to start another production, I will try my best to make use of the things that I have experienced this time round.

B1A4 has quite a bit of members who can act.

They are distinguishing themselves through their individual activities. That's why we monitor each other a lot too. We really do a lot of it. They occasionally will copy and follow my mushy scripts. Even though they are joking, I am thankful, really thankful. Because they are watching over what I am doing isn't it. When other members appear (on tv) I also will take a picture and send it to them.

The actors that act together gave me strength like the members.

It is fun to be around with friends. We get along well since our age are similar, we have similar interests and talk about similar stuff. So I think the synergy kind of shows.

Jinyoung has something that is more than enough in the drama. The mushy lines. 100% close.

At first I was worried. These are lines that can't be used in real life, how do I make it not cringy. I think it is important that I try my best to make it display it simply.

(T/N: The title is like that because it was saying Jinyoung doesn't have enough "quantity" for screen time. But his mushy scripts was something that has enough "quantity")

Yoonseong's speech that Jinyoung analysed, the object must be at the back.

 The strongest one was part where I said "Your rudeness was like the sun rays".

A carefree character could use such speech.

Jinyoung whom just finished a big thing, now B1A4's come back is ahead.

We will definitely come back this year. We are also almost done with the album. We discussed a lot and cracked our heads a lot so I don't think we will have regrets.

Jinyoung is multi-talented. Even though he can act well, he can also sing, write and compose songs. He even does producing. He seems very perfect.

If I am not like that during work, then it would be very shabby. I feel that work has to be perfect. I am satisfied when I solve problems. I like being flexible.

Revealing an episode of a shabby Jinyoung. For example, he often loses his way.

There are times when the manager follows me. This should never happen. There was once we were moving between film sets and I followed Yoojung's Mother and ended up heading very far away. I find it weird so I asked her and she said "I'm just taking pictures"... So we walked back.

You've come to attract attention doing this and that.

I want to try a bubbly humours romantic comedy the next time. By then, it would be good if my love went well... Haha. I also have desires for very tough war movie.

Jjajang vs Jjamppong

Jjajang. I not exactly for spicy stuffs...

Pouring the sauce vs Dipping the sauce

Dipping! Of course dipping! (carefree)

Fried Chicken or Yangnyeom Chicken

(After thinking for a long time) Fried chicken and Yangnyeom sauce

Actor and Singer B1A4's Jinyoung talks about his thoughts of idol groups nowadays from a producer point of view.

Not only did Jinyoung participated in Love in the Moonlight OST, he also produced other songs like a song for Mnet Produce 101, actively promoting as a music producer, actor, idol.

That day, when asked about how he feels about the songs of idol groups nowadays, he answered "I think we have to develop and grow faster. There are a lot of songs that I can't even imagine were released and there were a lot of good concepts too. I thought 'We still have a lot to do'. There are many different kinds of music and many special ones, so I feel that if we do not work hard, we will lag behind. Do well and come out with something good, I think we will have to work harder."

"As I try to write songs, there are also times I look at teams, and ask who did wrote the song, 'How did the person write this song', 'He captured the point well'. I have such thoughts. Bangtan's song this time round was pop-ish and good. IOI's Very very very has an addictive point. I thought, Senior JYP has captured this point well, as expected it was different. Twice's TT also has that 'singing like as if they are talking' point. Sana's part was the killing part. When I look at all hose, I think of the power behind those composers. I am considered a producer for B1A4 so I thought I would have to study a lot."

On the other hand, there are side effects when listening to music. Jinyoung said "There are side effects. We are unable to listen to the music entirely. To me, that is a pity. In the past, when I like the music, I like it. Nowadays, I listen it from the source one by one. From listening to music, it became analysing the music. There are times I think that is a pity. Things like 'What is this source', 'What did they use to make this', the work habits comes up."

On the behinds of "Foggy Road", Jinyoung revealed "I could feel the entire drama faintly when I look at the script. Even though it was soft and gentle, it was dreamlike too. After reading the script, I had various thoughts. If I were to write a song for this drama, how should I write it, Hong Raon's heart, Lee Young's heart, Kim Byeongyeon's heart etc, so I decided to write a song on how they tolerate and go through hardships. The lyrics are not exactly for anyone. I wrote the song in a way such that it can be used for anyone. It can be for Lee Young, it can be for Kim Yoonseong too."

In the drama, he died while protecting Hong Raon. "I went to the filming set to film for the scene, before that, there wasn't any fog. But on that day, the fog was so serious you can't see very well. The visibility was very short. I thought, even the heavens know that Yoonseong is leaving. If you watch the scene again, you can see that there are really a lot of fog. It was interesting."

Jinyoung chose the most regretful moment during the filming of "Love in the Moonlight"

When asked about the most regretful thing while filming Love in the Moonlight, Jinyoung answered "It was the editing of the scenes".

"It was my first action scene and I used an umbrella for that action scene. It was raining and it was a scene where I was saving Raon from the bad guys. I really liked it" Jinyoung also added "It was raining and and we were fighting in the mud, it was my first time doing it and it was hard, but on the other hand, I had fun."

He went on to explain why it was edited out, "In the earlier part, we had too much scenes so we have to cut that out."

Source

I left after doing my share.

"The director and scriptwriter had a hard time thinking about Yoonseong. The Director said Yoonseong is the hardest character because the feel that he gives out changes all the time. Good and bad co-exists together, and while bearing pain on the inside, he has to be the bad guy when he needs to. Actually when I look at the words used to describe Yoonseong, I was troubled too."

After Jinyoung who protrayed the fox-like, mutli-dimension character Yoonseong, it became a popular character. Eventually, the last episode when he died, the affections of the viewers exploded. It is because of the pure love of a guy who died trying to protect the girl whom he love.

"Honestly speaking, I hoped I would die. The thought of dying would be more comfortable seems weird but at the last point, he died trying to protect the one he love, he also told his grandpa the things that he wanted to say, painted the picture that he wanted to paint, I thought that it fits right."

However, there are also a number of people who think that it's a pity that Yoonseong died. Especially in the original work, Yoonseong did not died, so they questioned if Yoonseong should not have died and if its possibel for everyone to have a happy ending.

Jinyoung who is immersed in Yoonseong the character did not only made the viewers end up in tears. The opposite acting party Raon revealed through interview that she also shed tears for Yoonseong who was dying too. It was one more step to the character and Jinyoung got his confirmation for that. 

Youjung said "I tried my best not to she tears. Not even once has Yoonseong cried. It was a scene where Yoonseong is in a lot of pain, but there was no a hint of it like that, so I thought even if he was dying, there is no need to cry. I tried my best to smile for the death scene. Because he hates it when Raon gets hurt. I thought it was good that even till the end Yoonseong was still a caring character."

Jinyoung and Yoonseong in Love in the Moonlight has different point of views when it comes to love.

In the show, Jinyoung has a one-sided love towards's Hong Raon, a lover of his long time friend, Lee Young. When asked what will he do if such situation happen in rea life, he told us "If something like that were to happen in real life, I won't lose out."

"In the drama, Yoonseong came to like Raon first. If I like her first, I can't lose. In real life, I can be caring to the woman I like but not the competitor." He added, showing off his manly side.

Saving the girl he likes as an ending, Jinyoung said "I thought they would think of me in the end."

Jinyoung explained about his dying scene "Even though it would be better if there were a little more contents in between but I think it fitted right into 18 episodes."

"I feel like he would die. Wouldn't it be weird if Raon suddenly likes Yoonseong?" laughing as he said. "I think there was no regret for Yoonseong as he protected the one he loved and died."

As he chatted, he expresses regrets. "I thought they would think of me in the end both, like visiting my resting place but there wasn't any." and made the interview room filled with laughters.

He added on saying "In the drama, Yoonseong is 19 years old. When I think about it, I am a sadden. He had to live such difficult life at such a young age.", expressing affections for his character.

Jinyoung "Acting or Singing, I did everything with all my heart."

Q: Through this drama, Bogum became a "big scale actor". What does Jinyoung think about it?
A: I think he is a guy who is living a life of no regrets. I don't think I will be able to live well if I do anything and have regrets. Bogum is doing things that he want, doing the things that he want well so I think he is living well. I am also working hard to live a life of no regrets. But it is not easy.

Q: How are you together with Raon who plays your love line?
A: We get along well. Even though we are 7 years apart, she is very mature. She is passionate about the things that she do, she also has conviction. I especially learnt a lot about acting from Youjung. When acting, I would ask 'How should I do this?' and she would give be opinions. I am thankful for that.

Q: Its a situation where you have to have conflict with Bogum because of the love line with Youjung. To have those loving and antagonising expressions at the same time, it's not easy right?
A: In the drama, Raon is 18 and Yoonseong is 19. But in real life, she is really young isn't it. However, we were able to feel a love that you do in your 20s. I thought "How is possible to express such love when she is at such an age" and I thought I would be difficult. It is an uncommon love line in real life so when we first started acting, it was a little hard. I wondered how should I express this. Also, the love line conflict with Lee Young, the conflict for the throne. It is a very complicated emotion. While Yoonseong has regrets for the throne, with regards to the girl he loves, I think it is fine as long as he doesn't push Raon to Lee Young. So I thought when confronting the opposite party, I cannot lose, so I try to express that.

Q: In the drama, you eventually pushed your loved one to Lee Young. If it was Jinyoung, what would you do?
A: I think I will give up. In real life, if I did everything I could, I would give up. Also, in the drama, Yoonseong stood and watch for a long period of time, in real life, I would not do it. If I have someone I like, I would watch for a while and confess. It is because I will regret if I miss it.

Q: You even took death for your loved one. Are you that kind of person in real life?
A: I would have to think about it again. It is not an easy thing to do. Such things are possible because it is in the drama.

Q: After trying Love in the Moonlight, do you have any thoughts of trying a traditional period drama?
A: I would like to try it. Actually, I really like period dramas. It is an era that I cannot live in and it has its charms. It feels like fantasy. I feel empty after the broadcast ended. I want to try living in that period.

Q: Though you are acting, you are still B1A4's Jinyoung. Fans are waiting for a comeback, when will the comeback be?
A: We will comeback this year no matter what. We are continuously recording, having meetings. Fans also waited very long, we feel like we need to show something. We want to come back quickly for those who have been waiting.

Q: Through Love in the Moonlight, we saw a successful Jinyoung. What are your plans for the future?
A: If chances come, I want to continue acting. Even though it is not easy to do both acting and singing but I will try my best. I will try my best to become a Jinyoung who gives my all.
