How was 2015?

2015 was a year I experienced a lot and challenged myself a lot. It was a pity that we were not able to stand on stage for the fans more often. Through this year, I felt that I am not able to do things on my own. Somehow, I think that have to do it with someone or get some help to achieve that I want to do.  I need to learn to be thankful for the people who are around who did it together with me and not forget them. Moving on, I would like to be a person whom others can received healing from and give people energy.

If you have a holiday, where is the place you would like to go the most?

Recently, I have been wanting to go Hawaii. The weather is really good, laid back, the sceneries are good. I want to spend my holiday receive healing while swimming by the beach.

What is one necessity in the bag you carry?

Moisturizing products (laughs). I will always carry things like Lip balm and Vaseline around.

CNU

How was Shin Woo’s 2015?

I wanted to do a lot of activities this year but couldn’t so it was a pity. I would like to do more activities in 2016 and show the fans a new side of us. Now as 2015 passes, B1A4 is already in our 5^th year, as time passes, we unite more, trust and lean on each other more, and I felt that we moved forward. Of course, even though it is important to try and do things that we have yet to try up till now, I feel that I need to sharpen and brush up on the things that I am trying to do now and things that I can do well. I want to become a person who isn’t blinded by the glamour that is right in front of me and be a man of great depth.

The member in B1A4 who is best at cooking recently?

Me! The dish that I’m most confident of making is Ddeokbokki, but I am also making braised spicy chicken nowadays. The point for Shinwoo’s braised spicy chicken is to take care of the skin well and let the yangnyeom season sink into the meat.

What did you save the member’s name as in your phone?

Jinyoung – Jinyoungie

Sandeul – Lee Sandeul

Baro – Cha Seonwoo Baro Squirrel

Gongchan – Mongrel dog

BARO

When is the moment you were most touched by fans?

I think it would be during concert when fans did a surprise slogan event. I can’t express it with words but it gave me a lot of energy. The fans were preparing to lift the slogan at the promised timing, I felt like I was an audience. That heart (intention) was really pretty. And because of that, I was very touched.

Is there any episode that happened recently in the dorm?

Our dorm isn’t noisy every day. Everyone has their own schedule so there are a lot of times all 5 members aren’t around in the dorm. Not long ago, someone was watching a movie through VOD and every started to gather one by one and we watched overnight. It felt good because it has been a while since everyone gathered to watch a movie together.

It was a really busy year, how was 2015?

I felt that 2015 was a very happy one. We received a lot of generous love and we were able to experience a lot of various things and for that I am thankful. We should have given more gifts through activities and albums of various music, and go to various countries that to meet the fans who are far away, but we can’t go that and it’s a pity. However, I’m satisfied that a lot of love and effort were put into making Sweet girl, and I am happy because the fans like it. I would like to make awesome music for the fans while researching and having fun. Also, this is a year where we learnt that if we are happy and work hard for the work we do, people around us will also become happy. We will do well as the year is coming to an end and would like to visit more countries to meet fans from overseas and make good memories. We would like to provide a more mature music. Please also watch us and give us your support. Happy New Year! Hwaiting!

Sandeul

Was there a childhood memory associated to “Happy Days”?
-When I was around 4-5 years old, I raised a dog, its name was happy. I can’t remember how it got its name but coincidentally his name is related to today’s theme. When we were eaising Happy, I was always happy. I really liked it. We brought him to grandma’s house, be it playing with him at home or bringing him out for a walk, we had a lot of happy memories together.

During winter, what is the music that you want to listen to, and what food would you want to eat?
- The food that I want to eat would be tangerine! I really love tangerine so when winter comes, I have to eat it and I eat a lot of it. I feel that it is more delicious to eat tangerine in winter. The music that I want to listen to is of course “White Christmas”.

If you were to describe your members?
- Gongchan would be a pair of mittens. Shinwoo would be a muffler. Baro would either be a pair of shoes or boots. Jinyoung would be earmuffs. The members are the most dependable and take care of my body and my heart, so I compared them to the clothes I wear.

Is there anything that you must do when new year comes?
- Making plans for the year. The thought is to make new plans and go towards the direction of my new goals, but I feel that it doesn’t work out that well for me (laughs). Nevertheless, I feel that making plans for the year is important, relatively I still do it.

A winter date with Bana! Where and what you would like to do?
- At Hokkaido where we filmed our music video “White Miracle”. During our free time we went skiing and snowboarding, it was realy pretty and fun, so I wish to show it to Bana as well. I really love snowboarding that I have the full set of my board. I can teach those who cannot snowboard so that we can all have fun together. I started snowboarding in middle school so compared to skiing I’m more of a snowboarding person. I started because it looks cool but now I’m into it because it is fun.

Last year your singing skills on shows like King of Masked made topics. How did you feel going on those shows?
- I started feeling that singing with the mask didn’t make me nervous, “Fans do not know that it is me and I will be evaluated based on my voice only.” Because of that, I was really nervous. Even with that, honestly, after going onto the stage and it was fun and I grew. I was really thankful for the reactions of the audiences. Because I was very worried what kind of response will I get based on just my voice, I was really happy that I got good responses, and I told myself I cannot don’t work harder to show everyone a better side of me, a better stage.

GONGCHAN

A happy childhood memory that is associated to “Happy Days”?

- I’m quite sure it was sometime when I was about 6 years old. My family and grandparents went to the beach to play. I can’t remember exactly what I did but it was extremely fun.

When winter comes, what is the music you want to listen to, the food you want to eat?
- Up to Christmas, it would be “Jingle Bell”. After Christmas, it would be B1A4’s “Lonely” (laughs). In winter, I would want to eat things Korean food like loach soup. It is good for the body as it has a lot of nutrition.

If you were to describe your members?
- Sandeul would be a handwarmer. There’s a lot of different kinds of handwarmers, those that would warm up if you shake it, and those that would warm up if you press it. Because Sandeul is a people who will make a companion warm in many various ways.
Jinyoung would be tea. Gentle and careful. He is like tea, who thinks of others and act.
Baro is a heater. A different cheerfulness from the other members, someone who can give warmth to the whole place in one go.
Shinwoo is water heater. But a one which warm water wouldn’t come out immediately (laughs). If you shower during winter, it’s always cold water before the warm water starts coming out slowly, Shinwoo is like that. He first lie low, after spending some time and the relationship is deepen, you will know his kindness.

Is there anything that you must do when new year comes?
- I will think of things that I have done before, and reflect on how to improve for the new year.

A winter date with Bana! Where and what would you like to do?
- Hokkaido! We could either ski or snowboard together, or have a snow fight while walking on the street. If Bana says they can’t ski or snowboard well, what to do, I will give up. If we don’t do any other things, we can sit in a café and chat while drinking hot coffee.

Last year, your first acting role “Tasty love” you took on had a favourable response! How was the filming?
- It was fresh to be acting as a chef, and isn’t it interesting that in one production there were three female who acted as my partner. Acting in a set-up with women of the same age, older, and younger, I was able to experience many similar emotions. The drama’s setting was in Jeju Isand. Jinyoung’s drama “Warm and Cozy” was shot in Jeju and it so happened that it is related to cooking, so on that part he was able to give me some advice.
