B1A4/TRANSLATIONS
Kpop's exploration, the appearance of B1A4! Original interview and video!

1 blood type B and 4 blood type A! 5-member group B1A4. 
Be the thoughts of their expected new album, or their solo activities, all in this interview! A must see exclusive video for with their explosion of cuteness!
It feels good to be a fan too?!

The secrets to B1A4's popularity?


B1A4 who debuted in Korea in year 2011.  Their unique group name comes from their blood type, a combination of 1 blood type B and 4 blood type A. Full of talents and writing their own songs, outstanding singing skills, characters with no loopholes. As much as B1A4's charms are uncountable, no matter what they do, they do their best and their cuteness that doesn't fade since debut days! Also, the relationship among the members are good. When we told leader Jinyoung "The relationships between the members are good." he answered "right?" and smiled. Let's look at the cheerful and friendly talk now.

Q: Member's good points and point that is lacking a little?
SD:
I shall introduce Baro (and then he starts to ponder)
CNU: Let's change the sequence~! For Gongchan, even though he is youngest but he is someone we can lean on. He plays game really well and is top class among the idol world. He even teaches someone like me who doesn't know well.
JY: That?!
CNU: I mean I can lean on him even in such little stuffs (laughs). As for the points to change, Gongchan talks too little. He especially doesn't tell us the negative things. The hyungs get worried, so no matter what it is, please tell us!
GC: I can't bring myself to tell you guys because you would feel sad for me... However, I tell the manager things so don't worry!
GC: Baro hyung is always watching over us from behind, when we needs to be somewhere, he will tell us firmly and catching hold of us. The bad point would be when he is tired, he will shout out things we can't make out of. (laughs). But I will think "Looks like he is tired..." and let it be.
SD: BAROOOOOOOOO (weep)
BR: Jinyoung is the mood maker. Because we have a lot of schedules, so he will be one who is in charged of making the mood by joking around so that our mood remains up. Even though they are always not fun (laughs). The lacking point would be that he continues to joke around. There should be a time when he should stop isn't it? There are times as a receiver, I thought "It should be time you stop..." but Jinyoung just wouldn't stop! And he is still constantly losing things.
JY: Just when I was in Japan, I lose my iphone at the restaurant. I think I lost about 10 iphones already.
JY: For Sandeul, his good points would be eating a lot. His lacking point would be, he keeps eating. (laughs) I'm just joking. On the serious note, I find it amazing that he keeps running towards the goal he set. On the bad side, there are times when he ran too hard and hurt himself... I hope on this note he can be more careful.
SD: Life moves on like as if time is running out, therefore I need to do all the interesting things. Learning Japanese, fishing, golf, anything. Only when you have tried everything, then you will know which wouldn't work. (laughs)
SD: Shinwoo is the center of the team. However, he doesn't goes around show his weight like "I am the oldest!", instead, he is flexible and comes to you, and it makes people want to follow him. There are times acting for the sake of the team, he act as the evil character that no one wants to do and becomes stern. But no matter how stern he is, you can feel that he is full of love. The lacking point would probably recently he started acting cute..? (laughs) I got a shock and asked "Is there such a cute person?"
CNU: Guys get cuter when they get older.


Q: Please tell us about your new songs, You & I and Blue Moon. 
JY: You & I is a song that run towards the fans, it consist of the message of wanting to run together with the fans in the days ahead. Since I made the song guide in Korean, it was hard to change it into the Japanese because we have to match the number of the syllables. Even just a bit of difference can change the feeling of the song.

CNU: As this is the first single we released since we change label, I want to input songs of various colours into it. Different from the up tempo song You & I, I wanted to make Blue Moon a ballad. The Japanese we know are all pretty strange and unfortunately, we are not able to write the lyrics of this song. (laughs)
SD: You & I is a song that we can have fun with the audiences while Blue Moon is a song where we can show in the dark and under spotlight!

Q: The reason why you guys covered Choo Choo Train?
CNU:
The songs is popular in Korea and it is a song that we like. Also, it is a song that can make us feel the bright future. I feel that it matches our emotions as we switch to a new label. Thank you for willingly letting us cover the song.
GC: We recorded the MV in a ski resort. It has been a long time since we filmed at a place with lots of show so it was fun!
BR: We shifted from a bustling city to a quiet place and because of that, it was healing for us.

Do you have any free time when you are in Japan?
JY:
We have came to Japan several times, but it is a pity that we are unable to have any free time. I want to get to know more about the Japan culture, I feel that if I know more, I will be able to communicate with the Japanese fans a little more... If I get free time in Japan, I want to go to places where the cherry blossoms bloom.
SD: I want to go Fuji-Q Highland! (It is an amusement park)
JY: I went before once, that time it rained. I took the roller coaster and went into the haunted house and that's it. And then because the haunted house staffs were all so scary I couldn't finish it till the end.
BR: I want to make friends with Japanese people. Go shopping, and he does music too, then I want to do a collab with him.
GC: This time round when we came to Japan, we all went to eat ramen together.
BR: Ramen is delicious!! Delicious!! Delicious!! Delicious~!!!
GC: A few moments ago, I said Baro will shout out loud... this is one good example. (laughs)


Jinyoung - Born on 18 Nov 1991, Blood Type A, Leader
Q: You acted in Korea's hit drama, Love in the Moonlight. How was it?
A: Up till now, the characters that I have acted in are all one-sided love, and among those, the degree of a one-sided love are all very high. I think I acted in all the one-sided love already. (laughs) Since it was in summer, wearing layers of clothes while filming was extremely tiring. The part of the hat that touches the forehead is made of metal, it is heavy and leaves a mark too.

Q: From Jinyoung who knows well about a one-sided love, please give some advices to the people who are habouring a one-sided love right now.
A: Please don't stop. If you stop, it just stops there. If you do whatever you can do, you will have no regrets. Such sincerity will work one day.


CNU - Born on 16 Jun 1991, Blood Type A
Q: You have been constantly doing musicals like Chess and The Three Musketeers.
A: A musical where I get to act as a character is different from just standing on the stage as a singer. When I stand on the stage as a musical actor, it was really fun, heart palpitating... Lots of emotions exists at the same time. Even though as time passes since debut, I have experiences of standing on the stage, I am still a rookie as a musical actor. It reminded me of the humility and innocent heart when B1A4 first debuted. There were a lot of things that we need to learn you can only do it with a humble heart. And thanks to that, we ambitious with our group activities.


Sandeul - Born on 20 Mar 1992, Blood Type A
Q: You are the first in the group to do a solo.

A: I feel that the good part of being solo would be that you get to sing the song from the first second all the way till the end, without ceasing the emotions you put in. However, no matter how it is, I feel lonely in the waiting room... because the members aren't there. I can't seem to solve my loneliness throughout my promotions. I will let the other members know that it will be extremely lonely when they do their solo activities. I also want to advise not to be too greedy. I was too greedy, practiced too much and became too lethargic. If given a chance, I want to make a song on my own, or do a cover of the the band I like, Southern all stars and do promotions in Japan.


Baro - Born on 5 Sep 1992, Blood Type B
Q: Baro has received lots of good reviews in terms of his acting, what is the role you would be acting in your recent web movie "Closed eyes"?
A:
Im acting as a musical who has problems with his eyes, there is a reason why he was not able to see. There was an emphasis that in the movie, I was hurt and I was trying to protect my heart. I tried to read the script several times to understand the character, as I rehearse with the characters in the movie several times and repeatedly, I was able to get immersed into the character.

Q: Is there any productions that received great priases from the members?
A:
God's gift. It is probably because it was the first time an idol is acting as an autism kid, the members were very interested and gave me lots of praises. I was very happy.


Gongchan - Born on 14 aug 1993, Blood Type A
Q: A mobile game with Gongchan as the main character was released.
A:
The title is "I need romance". In the game, I am an idol and at the same time a member of the indie band, so there were two different charms to the character. As a person who likes games, I am thankful that I was able to become a main character in the game. However, it was a weird feeling that I am in a relationship. (laughs) I diligently check the comments that were being uploaded onto the SNS, wonder if the fans are having fun with it, and through that I was able to enjoy the game.

B1A4/TRANSLATIONS


Q: You starting making songs because you wanted to help out the team.
A: When we were receiving vocal lessons, the teacher recorded the music and played it. I find it interesting that we can make songs using a computer program. So I unknowingly bought a laptop, downloaded the program, and started to follow. When I click the piano icon, music came out. When I click the drum icon, the beats came out, I find it very interesting and was surprised.

Q: So you self learnt.
A: That's right. Even right now, I still find it a pity that I was unable to learn piano properly when I was younger. I used the guitar to write songs a lot but we can only record the song. I would have to transfer the melody to the computer manually. As the melody would automatically transfer if it is a piano melody, it saves a lot of time.

Q: It is still not too late now.
A: People around me stopped me. Even it is good to learn piano, but the reason why my music is special is because I don't receive lessons for it. Even with that, rather than machine sounds, I like acoustic sounds a lot, and because of that, we recorded Sweet Girl with an 18 piece band. The drums, bass, brass are all real sounds.

Q: Seems like you want to achieve a lot. You are called "Tiger producer" among your members.
A: I don't like to compromise. I don't let even the members listen to an incomplete song. Even though it is not a solo song, it is a B1A4 song and I should accept their opinions totally, but if it is imcomplete, I would not want to show it to them. Our first album, I did mixing for "Baby I'm sorry" 7 times. Because it was my first so I wavered a lot. When we had "Wonderful Tonight", I wanted to make it slightly more upbeat so it is a pity. In the end we did an acoustic version of it in the next album. Now that I see it, it shouldn't have been this way.

Q: When I read articles, the feelings of a youth are also pretty different
A: I like the word "memories" a lot. I like perfumes.I get a lot of inspiration from something that gives me a very clear impression of my memory. "When the cherry blossom fades" is a song I wrote as I watch how a young person who is dreaming and hates breaking up and finds it a pity. It is a song that doesn't sound weird whether a male or a female sings it.

Q: You find contradicting music fun?
A: I like reversals. Usually from chorus onwards, I dislike something that goes like the normal, so I experiment a lot. I add sad lyrics to fast songs. I will slow down songs that seems like it will go faster.

Q: There are also times your songs sounds alike.
A: Since B1A4 will not be changing our styles with a click of the fingers, I find that it is reasonable. There are also parts where Oh My Girl and IOI songs are similar. I agree that I will need to widen my musicality. Recently, I am stuck with future bass so I am learning DJ-ing. I want to be able to take on more genres.

On the reason why he did acting too, Jinyoung replied "Music and acting are just different ways of expressing, the nature are the same." When doing music, there is melody instead of script. When acting, since there isn't melody, I would have to put in more emotions into the script. Originally, I don't have any plans on participating in the OST for Love in the Moonlight. However, as I got immersed in my character, I felt emotions that I have never felt before, so I ended up making a song. This was how "Foggy Road" sang by Ben came about.

Jinyoung also added "While filming for the show, I introduced a song writing program to Bogum and his sense in making melodies are good. If he were to release an album, I will want to give him a song as a present." He also added "In the album, even if we put in our own colours, the songs are not tiring so it is more comfortable to listen to."

Baro Viva Ensemble Interview

B1A4/TRANSLATIONS



4 people 4 different colours, multi entertainer
Q: It is fresh to have the collaboration of the 4 of you~

Jung Taewoo: Because of the drama, all 4 of us met for the first time. It was really nice and an honour.
Younha: Senior Jung Taewoo is in his 30th year debut, we should be the one feeling honoured.
Baro: Maybe because we have met on one of the kids variety program before so I don't feel unfamiliar. The kids were also very pretty.
Jung Taewoo: Recently, rather than me, the kids are more popular (laughs)
Jung Seonkyung: As you can see, this team is very cheerful. I get a lot of youthful energy from this team. (laughs)




Q: It is the 9th times Jung Seonkyung participated in this. It seems like you felt a new set of emotions.
Jung Seonkyung: It is already that long? Even time when I film I feel excited. This year's filming was fun as well.
Jung Taewoo: Wa, 9th times? (hinting that this drama is done every year) I never knew. Why is it that you only call me now? 
Everyone: (Laughs)


Q: I am curious how did everyone else joined this production?
Younha: Senior Jung Seonkyung gave me the proposal. She also told me the purpose of this drama, especially because there is music element in this production and it suits me so she asked me to do it. After reading the script book, i was even more set to do it.
Jung Seonkyung: I do even casting now (laughs). If I go on like this, it would be fine it I become an honorary ambassador for viva ensemble isn't it?



Q: There are lots of praises on your acting for you two singers.
Younha:
Thank you for watching me well. It has been a long time since my last acting in The Suicide forest in 2011, so I was feeling very worried. but because the staffs around us made us comfortable so we were able to work hard and have fun.
Baro: I once acted as an autism kid a few years ago. On the basis of that, I researched more and get immersed in the role. Even though Sunwoo (his character's name) is suffering from autism, there are also points that he is similar with me in my daily life, so I don't feel distanced at all.




Q: The other B1A4 members are also trying out acting so there seems to be some competition. 
Baro:
For Jinyoung, he acted in Love in the Moonlight, he also shot a movie and other members are also taking part in musicals. Rather than competing against each other, we cheer for each other more. Everyone's character and personality is different so there is nothing to compare about. (laughs)




Want to break the stereotype of the handicapped people. 
Q: I am curious if you like the character that you are acting.
Jung Seonkyung: This year, my character is something different. It seems that I got upgraded? I usually act as the parents of the handicapped kid or the teacher, this year sharp and forward speaking music critique. I like new things.
Jung Taewoo: It is the first time in my 30 years of acting I acted as a conductor. On top of that, I am actually someone who can't follow beats. When we were practicing, it was really hard, thanks to this I think I managed to get some sense of beats. I want to thank the person who gave me this chance to act as this.(laughs)




Q: If there was something that we felt while acting as a conductor, what would it be?
Jung Taewoo:
The autism kids in the show were all actors so there weren't much difficulty, however, in real life, how hard would it be for the conductor. Just handling one autism kid alone is hard enough but he has to get all the kids to do a performance together, this isn't something normal people can do. He has to understand the kids' mind.
In the script, there's this part that goes "A guardian and a conductor are the same" and I am moved by it. As someone who has married and have two kids, I carried the thought that "a guardian is no less important than a conductor when it comes to the kids" and got immersed in the character.




Q: Younha also appeared in the drama as a singer-songwriter~
Younha:
In the show, there was a scene where I wanted to get the kids to focus and started singing while playing the piano. Rather than a song that already exist, I thought a newly made song would be better so I did it, I wrote the song myself. As it is a song that I work hard composing, please give a lot of lot to it.
Baro: It is a song that you can only hear in the drama. It is really good (thumbs up) Like how when we hear the song in movie "Take off" (국가대표) and gets reminded of the movie, I hope that this song can be a representation song that will remind others about these kids.


Q: Baro acted as a viola player in the show~
Baro:
 Actually, I have no idea how to play one at all. Just like how lipsync are, I am only handsyncing. It is really hard to make a sound out of it. However, in order for my actions to look as real as it is, I am still receiving lessons right now and practicing hard. I heard that in the real viva ensemble, there are kids who have hurts in their body too, but they are still able to pull off such amazing performance so I am really surprised and respect them.
Jung Taewoo: I also agree. In order to understand my character, I went to catch the perforance "Bbokko-ah Bbokko", it was a performance by the challenged kids and I was very moved.




I hope to communicate to everyone the heart-warming feelings we felt.
Q: If there was something special which you wish to communicate to everyone through the drama?
Baro:
Just like the character that I acted as, autism kids are more innocent than we think they are. In order to communicate such innocents, I will work hard. Later when the kids who watched this show has people around them who are challenged, I hope that they will not see them with a stereotype.
Jung Taewoo: In Korea, there seems to be not enough consideration for the challenged in terms of facilities and hearts. I hope that there will be more system where students who have handicaps can have dreams and hopes. I hope that there will be such drama or performance like "Bbokko-ah Bbokko" that will benefit them.




Q: Any last words:
Younha:
I am thankful that I am able participate in such a good production. Since it is a one-act play, we need to spread through word of mouth so that more people can come to know about this. We filmed this with hard work and I hope that many will watch it and will give unreserved support for it.
Baro: Many staffs and actors including myself worked hard in order to satisfy everyone. It is a drama with a good purpose so I hope that many will spread it and having fun watching it.
Jung Taewoo: Maybe because the intention of the drama is heart warming, so everyone from the staffs to the actors were all very caring. I hope that after it is broadcasted, we will be able communicate the warm heartedness and the same thoughts of caring for the handicapped.
Jung Seonkyung: Thank you for giving us a lot of love this year too. We filmed this with hard work and fun till the end, please watch over us.

B1A4/TRANSLATIONS

B1A4 who returned to Japan with a cheerful and refresh song after a long while!

What kind of songs will they bring us, we are looking forward to it!


Q: B1A4 members reconfirmed their fate through a 2 days 1 night filming! The group stepped forward as they changed their Japan label this year. The first single which they released "You and I" by Jinyoung, and the coupling song "Blue Moon" by CNU, both in charged of writing and composing the song themselves.

JY: You and I is a song that is filled with the meaning of wanting to launch forward hand in hand with our fans.
BR: When I first listened to things song, I want to have fun with the fans.
SD: It is a refreshing feel and fits B1A4 perfectly.
CNU: Blue Moon is a song about the longing for the girl who have left. I thought it would be a song where people can see a different side of us.


Q: If there is a change after you changed label?
BR:
I am feeling new about it. We also want to work harder to meet those fans we are staying in far away places and have not met before.
JY: The people working in the label has vast knowledge about music, so when we talk, I get inspirations. I am looking forward to what kind of music will we make in the future.
GC: We tried something new and covered other artist's song. I feel that I might be a good chance for those who do not know us up till now.
SD: The song we covered, Choo Choo train, is a very popular song and I hope that people feel closer to us through this.


Q: You guys filmed your MV for Choo Choo train in a Japan ski resort, how was it?
GC:
Right now, the members are staying separately, because we had to the film the MV, we stayed in the same building. It has been a long time since we slept together, and it felt good as expected. Things of the past came to our mind, and felt that we need to stay together.
JY: We went back to being young and had snow fights together.
BR: Also, there was an episode, while filming, a spark from the campfire flew to my head. (laughs) It was very hot so I flew into the snow.


Q: In You and I, the word future came up. What if you guys could go into the future?
JY:
I want to see my child. How much do we look alike, what kind of kid, a male or a female, and hopefully there will be about 2-3 of them.
GC: I want to see my wedding ceremony. I am curious about who the opposite party is and also curious about who came.
CNU: We have a song called !0 years later, I want to see myself in 10 years later. I feel that the fans will be there even then and I want to thank them.


Q: The things you want to do with Japanese fans in the future?
SD:
We did it once in Korea, having a picnic with fans.
All: Me too!
CNU: Go on a picnic, play games, and have lots of fun with them.
GC: It would be good to go flower viewing too. Or rent a cruise?

BR: Sounds good~~
SD: CNU hyung will buy the cruise! We will board that and have fun together~ (laughs)


B1A4's results!
A research of B1A4's interest as we give them two choices! Ignoring the group name and questions that make them choose! Which side would they be on and what answer is closest to their interest? Members who don't hesitate to say "I am on this side!", what would the questions that divide B1A4 be?


Q1: If you were to date in spring?
B: Do sports together
 - Sandeul: I fun sports fun~
A: Do picnic together - Gongchan, CNU, Jinyoung, Baro: A warm spring calls for a picnic.
Right on the first question, the boys created a B1-A4, surprising them!


Picnic in the day, sports at night, both sides are satisfied?!

SD: Since I like sports, I want to have fun together! Golf, bowling, table tennis... I also like cycling~
BR: Other than Sandeul, the four of us chose picnic. The weather in spring is nice, the warm sun rays, I want to spread out the mat and eat delicious food leisurely~
CNU: It is about the delicious food when it comes to picnic. For my girlfriend, I would make the food myself and bring lunch boxes there. Kimbab, sandwich, salad, whatever food there it.
GC: I have the same reasons as the hyungs. The weather is spring is nice, I want to have fun outside.
JY: I would want to picnic in the day and exercise at night... (laughs) I want to do jogging too!

Q2: If I were to travel with the members?
B: Entrust it to the rest - Sandeul, Gongchan: Bring me to the good places~
A: I will lead the way and set up plans - Shinwoo, Jinyoung, Baro: I find it more fun to lead and set plans rather then follow around.
The result is B2A3!


When we went to Bali, Baro was the one who planned everything! The gang who follows everything~ Sandeul & Gongchan
GC: Last year, Baro, Sandeul and I went to Bali for a trip together. That time, Baro was the one who planned everything. Where to go, what to eat and spoke good English, he was in charged of everything (laughs)
BR: The make me want to bring them to a good place. I am usually the kind who likes setting plans for myself.
JY: I also feel happy when I bring the members somewhere.
BR: If all five of us were to go on a holiday together, where will we go?
JY: Jeju Island is good, Japan is good too.
SD: Okinawa!
GC: Hokkaido! Oeta, Beppu hot springs!
JY: We will obviously have fun no matter where the five of us go.


Q3: I eat my favourite food...
B: Last - Sandeul, Gongchan, Shinwoo: A gourmet will eat the nice food last!
A: First - Jinyoung, Baro: We wouldn't be able to eat if our tummies are full~
Results is B3A2!


The reason why we eat the food last is because of a gourmet? Sandeul is a paradox!
JY: There are a lot of things to eat towards to end. If I were to leave the food to the last, if I am full, then wouldn't I not be able to eat it anymore?
BR: Something for the change, I wish to fill my tummy with the things I like to eat.
SD: Nono. If you were to eat the thing you like first, the subsequent food will have no taste!
CNU & GC: Oh~~~
SD: So eat the food that you don't like first, and the food that you like would be like a finale.
CNU: Even with meat, you eat the part where you need to chew first, and then you slowly move on to the marbling where the soft meat is.
GC: Yes yes, a gourmet eats like that. I agree~!


Q4: If you were to confess to the person you like?
B: Beat around the bush to appeal and wait for the opposite party to confess
A: Confess personally

Results A5! The members all have the same opinion!


Your secret line for confessing?
All: Definitely saying it personally~!
JY: Isn't Sandeul is a little different? (laughs)
SD: Nono, I said I would say it personally!
BR: I guess the reason is all the same. Because we are guys!
GC: Yes!
CNU: Just like what he said.
BR: It is a guy's job to confess.
CNU: If you were to confess, what kind of words would you use to confess?
GC: Ka-be-dong! (Corner her against the wall) 
SD: (Imitates Gongchan and pretend to corner him to the wall)
All: (laughs)
BR: I like you, what about you?
CNU: Because I like you, please be mine.
JY: I have been liking you. Would you like to go out with me?
GC: Oh~~~ Everyone is cool!


Q5: Just like your blood type with 1 B and 4 A, make a question! And the question that the members made is "I bother about my fashion no matter how tired I am"

B: I care - Baro
A: I don't care - Gongchan, Shinwoo, Jinyoung, Sandeul.

Just like what we said, B1A4 question is finished!! They hesitate and wondered what would there be and in the end decided on this!


BR: No matter what kind of situation it is, I want to be fashionable.
Others: Comfortable clothes are the best! (laughs)


Cool guy Baro's is the only one who chose B! B1A4!
SD: Since its taking a long time, let's make a question that makes Baro the B.
JY: B for the one who have nothing on his mind while eating (laughs)
GC: B for the person who raps the best
BR: The person who likes jajangmyeon? The other option would be jjambbong

GC: I am jjambbong

SD: Me too.
CNU: It's sweet and sour pork for me.
GC: Then this won't do (laughs)
BR: Ah, B for the person who will takes care of fashion no matter how tired he is. Since I will make sure to coordinate my clothes no matter how tired.
CNU: Other than Baro, everyone likes comfortable clothes.
JY: Only when it comes to airport fashion
CNU: Sandeul don't really care about fashion isn't it?
SD: I do! (laughs)
BR: I said care all the time!
Others: Only when it comes to airport fashion.


About their new song You & I

Get to know about this and that!

XX & I talk

Since it is related to the new song, we divided the talks into these different categories "B1A4", "FASHION", "LOVE", "MUSIC", "BANA".

Things about the members, the fashion they like, episodes when they feel their family's love, the things they want to challenge in terms of music, their thoughts about fans. Let's know it all now!



B1A4 & I


JY: If I were to describe B1A4 in one word, it would be family. In real life, I meet the members more than I meet my family, and I spent most of my life with them, even though we are not blood related, I feel that we are like a family. I am always thankful for the members. Even though I am a leader, all of them are doing very well so I don't really need much support. As much as I am thankful, I am sorry that as a leader, there are times that I am unable to do more for them. I want to continue promoting as B1A4 and create more awareness and become a nation's group 10 years down the road.


CNU: B1A4 is like a family to me too. Precious like a family and giving strength to one another. Even though we are as close as family, there isn't once when we fought. There are of course times when we don't see eye to eye, but during then, we don't deny it because it is different, instead, we talk about it and try to understand each other. We also check on the broadcasts that other members go on. When I see them being active and working hard, I get motivated and tell myself that I have to work harder too. I feel that music is something that makes the world unite, so I want to be a group who can spread music to the entire world and receive love from the world.


SD: B1A4 is like a very important treasure to me. As to why I say so, the career as a singer to me is very precious, it is a dream that is like a treasure. Because B1A4 is the one who fulfilled this dream, so I want to stay together like this forever. Like a flower that doesn't fade away, I hope that within my heart, B1A4 will always be blooming. We have a song called 10 years later. The contents goes something like what we are doing right now, 10 years later, who will be there for us, and we don't know if there will be anything left. I let that song be a warning to me, to work hard to the best that I can so that 10 years later, all 5 of us can still be together.


BR: B1A4 are friends forever. The members have been together from the past till now. We are always working together, sleeping together, eating together, and because we spend more time with each other than with our family, there are no other words that I can think of to describe this other than friends. Family-like friends whom I want to spend time with even when we grow old. I want to work hard as a member of B1A4 10 years ago, and I want to make fans feel like we didn't grow old at all. Not losing to young idols, I want to be a cool senior who is always full of energy.


GC: If I were to put B1A4 in one word, it would be water. To be, B1A4 is something that I cannot live without. I can feel that we are always thinking for each other. I am really thankful that the members are always looking out for the rest before themselves. I want to be a better group as B1A4 10 years later and I hope that the members can become closer to the image they want to be. Personally, I want to be able to give strength to the people whom I like.



FASHION & I


JY: The fashion items I like are watches, I bought it recently too, but after I bought it, I have no idea why but I don't like it... (laughs). Right now I am just keeping it at home. My favourite choice of clothes are black colour. The clothes I have are mostly balck. When I sleep, I like to wear soft and fluffy grey pyjamas. I like it because I like the texture.


CNU: I did shopping today! Since there was some time, I went to Harajuku and bought a family jacket which I really wanted. The clothes that matches me the most, and the clothes I have the most are dark coloured clothes. I also like colours that are eye catching. I also wear red and blue clothes. When I sleep, I don't wear anything, even the underwear. When I was in my 10s, I did this and came to know that it is comfortable. I like the feeling of the blanket touching my skin.


SD: Since I started attending sports class since I was 5 years old, from then onwards, I thought training outfits are the most comfortable, and when we wear something, we have to wear comfortable stuffs! (laughs). When I grow up, even though it is a little embarrassing... When I hear Baro telling me "You clothes are weird" I get embarrassed. However, until I really get it from someone directly, I wouldn't be able to tell that my clothes are weird. Recently I bought vans sneakers and jerseys, cos they are comfortable. (laughs)


BR: I like that I am able to challenge fashion. It is not that I have sense, but I try to wear things that are attractive, I learn what is cool and what is strange when I ask "How are my clothes today?". Recently I bought vans sneakers and sun hats, and is enjoying the street hip hop style.


GC: I like black turtle necks. If I open my drawer, other than the clothes that I've received, all of them are black. The hyungs have their own style. Baro's is street, Jinyoung's dandy, Shinwoo's in the middle of those two, Sandeul's training outfit (laughs). I am taking reference and good points from them.



LOVE & I


JY: When I chat with my family on the phone, I feel that it is really a great support for my work. They will praise me for the broadcasts that I go on, just that one word can give me strength. My ideal type is someone warm hearted. I find someone with good manners attractive. Depending on the person's actions, I get jealous. For example when she says this like "That person is cool..", I will feel jealous. Even though I know it is not on purpose, at the starting I will feel jealous, I find it cute~


CNU: I feel my family's love when they call and we ask each other "Have you eaten?", "Are you healthy?", though my character is one who doesn't contact much. My ideal type is someone who understands me, a girl who embraces me warmly like how a mother would. However, I hope that she will sometimes wants to lean on me. I am someone who gets jealous very easily. I hope that the person I like can look at me only. Frequently when fans tell me that they are getting married, I will reply "I object this marriage!" (laughs)


SD: Not long ago, my grandma passed away. She waited for me till the last moments, when she heard me say "Granny, I'm here" her pulse went up slightly, its feels as if she knows that I am there. She passed away after getting to hear my voice. I felt like she must've wanted to see me. After that incident, I feel that I cannot not treasure my family more. Even though it is hard to express our affections for the family, but we cannot not be honest about it. I am originally someone who finds it hard to do it but I am trying my best.


BR: Yesterday my little sister debuted. My father is staying in my hometown whereas my mother is here in Seoul, the three of us stays together. When my sister was a trainee, I wasn't about to chat well with her because I was busy, but now she debuted and I managed to chat with her after a long while. I watched all the music broadcasts she went on, rather than giving her advice, I am cheering for her. "Don't feel down even if you hear bad stuffs, there will be people supporting you if you work hard. Let's gain strength to gather."


GC: There was once my mother knew that I was overseas and she made a point to match the timing and contacted me. "I feel that she still watch over me even when I am far away, and I feel her love". My ideal type is someone who really likes me and makes it very obvious. If my girlfriend goes out and play with her friends, I will tell her to "come back safely" and be slightly worried about her. As a guy (human), I think we will all be worried.



MUSIC & I


JY: The song that I listen to a lot recently is a song called Woman by Honne. The voice is really good, when I listen to it, my heart feels at peace. There are a lot of times when I shower and listen to songs. When I listen to songs while getting water splashed on my body, it gives a different feeling too. Musically, the things I want to challenge is making a new genre. Even though there might have been everything but I feel like that is more. I want to keep challenging.


CNU: I must listen to music when I shower. If I don't listen to music, it feels like as if I am not showering. I will listen to various songs on random. Musically, my goals is to give a song to Gongchan within this year. His voice is soft and beautiful, and everything thinks that he suits singing ballad songs, but I want to challenge on something else. (GC: It doesn't matter what kind of genre. Just give me a song that will hit #1 on Oricon chart. (laughs)).


SD: When it comes to music, honestly, it feels a little scary. Even though I have been nothing but "someone who sings" since I was young, I am worried if I will be able to sing for the rest of my life, if things don't go well, how can I overcome it, there are such worries. Even though it is not possible to not get stressed and sing, but on the other hand, if I don't work hard, it is not possible too! There are a lot of things I want to challenge in the future. Even though my voice suits rock and ballad, I will research on funk or R&B and want to sing romantic songs with a gentle voice.


BR: Music is like my right hand. I have not thought of the day where I can't do music, I want to keep doing it. If I still do rap when I turn into a grandfather, isn't that very cool? (laughs). Because I really love rap, and I really love hip hop, there are still a lot of things that I cannot not do. If it is possible, I want to release a hip hop album. I haven't got much chance to show it other than in concerts, the fans are also waiting for it. However, I feel that it is not the time to do that yet, but I hope it can be fulfilled one day.


GC: Recently, I have been listening to the song called "Just 10 more mins" but a 2 man group named Ants. The song is about fetching a girlfriend home and not wanting to part, asking to give 5 mins more, 10 mins more. I feel that such feelings are the same when we are together with BANAs. Whenever a concert, or a fanmeeting, we always hope that we have 10 mins more, especially since even if we don't talk, we still feel good, it is great if we can meet banas for even just 10mins. That way, when each of us is going through a difficult time, we have something memorable to think about.



BANA & I


JY: I feel that I always want to meet banas. So whenever we meet, be it concert or what, it is always fun. I want to be together for a long time, I feel like this feeling gives each other strength. Whenever I want to see them I update my SNS and check the comments of banas. A memorable thing that we did together was going on a picnic. It was the first time we got so closed together and because of that it was memorable. It would be great if we could do that with the Japanese banas one day. The things I want to ask banas would be what is the part that you like about us. I want to know it specifically.


CNU: Right now at this moment I want to meet banas. I want to meet them everyday. There are days when we get stressed out, days when we feel difficult, whenever that happens, I think of banas and gained strength. When I want to mee them, I got on the SNS to read their comments. There are a lot of impressive moments with banas so it is hard to just quote one, but if I were to say one, it would be during last year's comeback. It was the first time showing them a performance through a showcase and their screams were all happy, and it was memorable. The things that I want to ask them everyday would be "Have you eaten today?", "Are you sick today?". I hope they eat well and stay healthy.


SD: Banas are treasures to me like how B1A4 is. It is very precious to me and I hate it if people takes it away from me, so I keep it in a vault. I want to use our singing to capture the hearts of banas so that no one can take them away from us. When we stand on the stage and meet banas, i feel the happiest. Recently, I felt that the time passed really fast. Kids who once wore uniform now are wearing suits when they come to see us, elementary school kids are now wearing school uniforms. They say "Oppa, I am now 20 years old", and I will reply "Wow, already 20 years old?!". It has been 7 years since we debuted isn't it. I don't feel it when I do other things, but when we meet banas, I feel that be it banas or us, we have grown.


BR: Banas are people with presence that are hard to express using words. We debuted for 7 years, and because banas has been walking this path with us till now, I feel that the distance between banas and us are closer now. For example, kids in high school are becoming university students and becoming an adult. It feels like seeing a long time friend growing up and feeling proud. When we stand on the stage and up till the moment we disappear backstage, I want to keep singing and till then, there is no happiness that tops the fact that we can be together. 30-40 years down the road when we have white hair and our wrinkles increase... even then I want to ask if banas will still be there cheering for us.


GC: Before I sleep, I will always recall on the things that happened on that day, what are banas doing, are they eating well, are they sleeping well, they are the top when I think about such stuffs. When its days we don't have anything, I will feel very lonely. So I will think about whether the banas will still maintain such unforgettable relationship with us, that is why i started replying banas on twitter. When I search and play on the internet with them, i feel like our distance between us would be closer. Banas has their work and school work so there are also times when they want to meet us but can't. I want to ask them "During such times, what do you do?".

 


I feel motivated when I see the rest work hard.

CNU - Born on 16 Jun 1991

Q: You are the one who wrote the coupling song Blue Moon, where did you get your inspiration when you wrote the song?

A: There are times when I wrote by own experience, or get inspirations from people around me, there are also times when I get inspiration from music too. The things that I cannot do without when I write songs are macadamia nuts and chocolate. No idea why but I can only write a song well if I have something in my mouth. There are a lot of times when I lock myself in my composing room and watch videos in there, or did various things, then the ideas came.


I find it cute to make someone jealous on purpose.

Jinyoung - Born on 18 Nov 1991

Q: Jinyoung who is acknowledged as a producer as well as an actor. How do you divide being a singer, actor and producer within yourself.

A: Everything is the same, its 100%. No matter which is it, it is something that I like. I don't want to be careless in any of it. I want to do my best for everything. In another words, it is possible to do things when I focus. I will try my best to do the things that are given to me, a new thing that I want to challenge would be a radio DJ. I want to be a regular on a night radio broadcast.


I want to rap even when I turn into a grandfather.

Baro - Born on 05 Sep 1992

Q: This coming spring, your web movie "Closed eyes" will be released, how was the filming like?

A: There were a lot of times we filmed it at night and in the outdoors, it was freezing! It was as warm as the ski resort where we shot our MV (laughs). The clothes were thin, it felt even colder when we filmed at scary places. The genre is thriller and there were brutal scenes, but as we find out who the murderer is, I find it find. I think it will be an interesting production so please look forward to it!


What do you do when you want to meet us?

Gongchan - Born on 14 Aug 1993

Q: A commonly acknowledge gamer Gongchan. Please let us know the game you played recently and what are the strong parts of you and your gaming friend, Hongbin from Vixx.

A: I am recently playing this game called Overwatch. Hongbin is also playing this game. Hongbin is the strong one. Overwatch is a game with 6 players in a team, I always play hard but there are times when people do weird moves, so I feel anxious (laughs).


I am happy that Gongchan cheered for me.

Sandeul - Born on 20 Mar 1992

Q: Sandeul started his solo activities last year. Was there any points that changed or something that was impressive during your promotion period?

A: I have to do 5 people's job on my own so it is not possible if I do not put in energy. I didn't know that and during practice, I strained my throat too much so it become bad for a period. If I was given another chance, I would take note of that point. Something impressive would be when Gongchan fly to Japan to cheer on me. The fact that he came on purpose gave me lots of strength and I was touched. I would also want to do such visitation when the rest of the members do their solo activities, and become a pillar of strength to them.

B1A4 
Step by Step

A cheerful and steady footsteps as they start a new journey!
For us, it will always be a three-legged race run with our fans no matter when. 
They started promoting in Japan since 2012 and its their 5th debut year in Japan for B1A4. This spring, they changed their label to Universal Japan and is starting a new journey.
Their first single right after their shifted label is You and I, a shining and sparkling song that shows their huge wish to want to run forward with their fans in a three-legged race in the future. 
Moving forward one step by one step, they talked about their aspirations cheerfully.

Stepping out with the restart song which leader and producer Jinyoung wrote, "You and I". He revealed that the song is filled with meanings of a new start. This is episode 2 of B1A4's start. What is the "miracle" that the members have newly encountered recently?

Q: This spring, you guys starting on a new start. Are there any different points from the B1A4 we have seen up till now?
BR: Firstly, we are looking at the new start with a new resolution. Also, even though we know that fans are all over Japan, there are still a lot of fans whom we have yet to be able to meet. We want to work harder towards meeting such fans too.

Q: You even changed label, looks like we can see a new B1A4?
JY: The in charge in Universal Japan has a deep knowledge about music so when we shared about things, I get a lot of inspirations. From now on what kind of music should we make, what kind of albums will it be, we ourselves are looking forward to it.

Q: Your First Pressed released B version has the remake of Choo Choo train. It is the first time you guys make a JPOP cover.
GC: We did it as we thought "What can we do to show a new side of us..." So we tired something we haven't done before and tried to made a cover of other artist.
SD: Choo Choo train is a very popular song in Japan isn't it. We would be happy if people hear this song and feels closer to us.
GC: We wonder and look forward to whether people who do not know us previously will come to like us through this song.

Q: What is the main point of You and I?
JY: It contains thoughts like "We will want to show a better self and a more matured self as we go forward.". However, we cannot just fly forward with just the five of us. So we made this song with the thought in mind to "Hold hand in hand with our fans and walk forward with all our might."
SD: When I first heard this song, I felt that it is a very upbeat song and it suited us a lot. I thought about how can we sing this on the stage, and how can we have fun with the fans together.
BR: I heard the song in Jinyoung's writing studio, I thought it was a very fun song. And I want to quickly stand on the stage and sing this song! I want to sing and dance to this song with the members and fans.

Q: There is a saying that it is a "Miracle that you met" if you meet the person you love. Are there any miracles that you guys have felt recently?
CNU:
Meeting the members
All: Oh~~~~
GC: I also feel this way. (Hi-5 with CNU)
SD: Me too! (Held hands with the members)
JY: There is nothing much I could add to that. If I were to add somemore, I would say meeting Universal Japan is a miracle!

Q: When do you feel like "It is a relief that I met this member"?
CNU:
Yesterday, Sandeul and Jinyoung had some friction due to a different opinion. However, even though Jinyoung is older, he respects the younger's opinion, when I see that, I thought, we really match very well.
GC: Not just the two of them but we all respect each other. Even when we have our own opinions, we listen to other member's opinion first. I like that point.

Q: Are there times you guys fought?
JY:
Almost none. Even when we do, it is just conflict over different opinions. But since this can be solved by talking it out, we are all peace-lovers.

Q: When you say a conflict, is it in terms of music?
SD:
Of course there are lots of times there are conflicts over music.
CNU: Even though we have conflicts over music, we also talk things through to solve it.

Q: Is Jinyoung the only one mediating?
JY: Things will be fine when they speak to the person who has a different opinion, so I don't really need to come forward. If the conflict gets big, I do have thoughts of mediating it but so far, there hasn't been a case like this.

Q: What kind of girls you met would be a miracle to you?
JY:
A good-natured girl. I find the heart very important, and find someone with good manners very attractive.
BR: Someone who matches well with me like a friend, someone who can have fun with me together. I think it would be cool if I can meet someone like that.
SD: Like Baro, it is important to meet someone who matches with me. If I were to choose between a cat-like girl or a puppy-like girl, I would think I would like a cat-like girl more.
CNU: Someone who can understand me, someone who can embrace me with great love like a mother. At the same time, I hope she can looks upon me and I would want to embrace such a girl friend too.
GC: Someone who likes me a lot, so much that even the people around will know.

Q: If you really were to meet such a girl by chance, would that be fate?
JY:
That would definitely be fate!
CNU: Meeting banas are like fate too!

Q: The coupling song Blue Moon is written and composed by CNU.
CNU:
The single this time round is important point to us. I made this song with the thought that it would be good if it could be a gift to the listeners in Japan. I would be happy if they could listen to it and ask "So B1A4 has such colours too".

Q: How did you make this song?
CNU:
I shut myself in my room and made this song. As I do it, I got a lot of inspirations.

Q: The lyrics "Today's Blue Moon feels like your lips" was metaphorical.
GC: 
It is originally a bright moon, but because the girl left, so it looks like a blue moon...?
CNU: It's slightly different. The blue moon symbolises the girl who left. The blue moon is the girl who left, and when I see the blue moon, I naturally got reminded of the girl and her lips. This is the meaning.

Q: The girl in this song seems to have left the reason is due to the main guy, so it is full of longing for the girl. Who in B1A4 is the most similar to the main guy in the song?
CNU:
Jinyoung. In the drama, even though he met with a misfortune, he is still unable to tell the female main and because of that I thought he fits the main guy the most.
BR: Ah... so it's sad.
JY: I agree too.

Q: You guys shot your MV in the plain of Nagano Prefecture, it looks very mesmerising. 
GC:
We went to the ski resort for 2 days 1 night to shoot the MV. We got tangled up on one bed and slept together. It reminded us of the days when we stayed in the hostel, thoughts like "We are friends after all" came to my mind.

Q: Was there any episodes while filming the MV?
BR:
We were playing around the camp fire and with sparklers. The sparks fell onto my heart and before I know it, I shouted "It's hot" and jumped into the snow and felt okay!

We felt that we were friends after all at the ski resort.



Q: The album "B1A4 fan hit Korea" which was released at the same time is a collection of songs that fans voted for. Is there any song that you thought, "If it was me, I will definitely choose this song!"
CNU:
We have a lot of good songs so this is a hard decision. If I really were to choose, Beautiful target.
BR: For me its Chu Chu Chu.
GC: Chu Chu Chu~
SD: For me its the song I really like, Road.
JY: For me its Love then.
GC: For me, I think I would choose our Korean debut song, OK.

It is a new journey as you change to a new label, when you guys go on a trip or holiday, what is your must-bring?
SD:
Of course its the wallet,
BR: That's the case for me too.
CNU: As much as it is hard to travel without a wallet, for me, its pouch. I like neat things so when I go overseas, my luggage would have several pouches to subdivide my items and arrange them.
JY: For me its bluetooth speaker. No matter when and where I am, I would like to listen to music.
SD: Edible things. If I travel inland, I will bring along meat. When we reached, we could barbecue it and eat together isn't it!
CNU: So it is not possible to forgot about bringing a lunch box. (laughs)
SD: Be it lunch box or meat, I want to bring lots of it and have fun with everyone.
GC: The Vaseline which I carry around on normal days too. I have dry skin so I will apply before sleeping.

Q: Is there anything you do that makes you think "If I do this, things will go well for me", or are there any jinx you believe in?
SD:
Before I go on the stage, I will brush my teeth.
JY: Everyone does it.
SD: I do it just right before! Because I might be eating something before the performance so just right before I go on stage I will brush my teeth.
CNU: The point here is, what are you eating just right before the performance.
SD: It is usual that I am eating even till right before we go on stage. The important thing here is I brush my teeth just right before going up! If it is not just right before, I will feel bothered about something and don't feel refreshed.
BR: For me it would be to sleep a lot the day before and I will do well.
CNU: For me, it would be when I write a song, I definitely need to chew something in my mouth in order for it to go smoothly. I ate macadamia nuts as I wrote Blue Moon.
GC: For me, I would have to eat before recording. If I am empty stomach, my voice will have no energy.

Q: Is there any jinx for the team?
JY:
We will do a "Hwaiting" cheer before we go on stage. If we don't do it, there will be things that do wrong.

Q: What is the thing that gives you courage when you try something new?
JY:
Banas. Fans meant a lot to us. When we meet Banas, we get energized, have fun, and because of them, we can launch forward. Banas are the source of our power!
GC: I think a little differently.

Q: Differently?
GC:
Even though fans are important to us, to me, it's the hyungs.
All: Ohh~~~~
GC: I am the type who will go scared when I do things alone. For example, when I went on a show that needs me to dive, I was really scared. At that time, the hyungs shouted "Hwaiting! You can do it!" and thanks to that, I was able to do it. When I make a mistake during during recording, the hyungs will encourage me like "It's okay". Recently on ISAC, we did archery. That was my first game, and it was the very first shot so I was nervous. At that point, the hyungs were at the back telling me "It's okay! You can do it so don't be nervous!". So I shot my shot calmly, and I shot into the camera that was set in the bullseye. At that point I thought "So my hyungs are my source of courage".
JY: (Feeling touched, Gongchan shook hands with CNU, and gave each other finger hearts after that. CNU kept on rubbing Gongchan's neck)
GC: Thanks to them, we managed to get Gold medal.
CNU: I think it is a natural outcome. Even though other teams did well, there isn't anyone like us. I thought, should we let the other team get the Gold medal this time round~ but I felt it is not something we need to do now yet. (laughs)

Q: You guys have debuted in Japan for 5 years, and in 2017 you guys changed your Japan label. What do you think is the talk of the town?
BR:
I hope it would be B1A4! I hope we would be listed as a hot icon in this year. Also my sister who debuted as I, I hope she can be the talk of the town too.
JY: Would VR drama be trendy?
CNU: We have experience for filming a VR drama, it was very fun!
GC: I think it is doing something alone. Eating alone, travelling alone, having fun alone... I think it would be good if whichever contents that allows people to enjoy being alone would be good. I often eat alone. Korea is now slowly having BBQ place for solo eaters, so I think it is growing trendy now. I have never been to a BBQ place alone before.
CNU: I think for me it would be words like Peace. In this year, I hope that many countries would be at peace.
SD: I have been thinking about this since end of last year. In 2017, I wonder if fishing would be trendy among the middle age people. There has been an increase in the number of youngsters getting interested in fishing. They are a lot of idols who also finds fishing fun. I have some experience on fishing in the sea, from now on, I want to brush up on my skills, no matter the sea or the river, I want to try and fish there.

Q: Your schedule in Japan is packed too. You have a fan meet tour in April.
CNU:
No matter what we do, we want to have fun with fans, so we have this, I think it would become good memories for everyone.

Q: Also, you are having your Japan tour Be the One in June.
CNU:
We will show various things that people have not seen before so I find it very special.

Q: Other than fan meet and concert, what are the other things you wish to do with fans?
CNU:
We once did a picnic with fans in Korea and hope to have one with our Japan fans too.
SD: I feel the same too. (Gongchan also agree and all three smiled and shook hands)
BR: I want to go for a picnic.
CNU: Have a picnic and play some games with fans. Since it was really fun, we want to do it with the Japanese fans too.
GC: It would be good to go flower viewing with them, or rent a cruise and have fun with them.

Q: It will be very expensive to rent a cruise, would that be okay?
SD
: CNU is a wealthy person so he will probably buy us the cruise? So let's go on a private cruise with CNU!

Q: Personally, is there anything you wish to start this year?
BR:
I want to learn the piano.
JY: Me too!
SD: I earnestly want to doing fishing well.
GC: What would be mine...
CNU: I want to learn guitar, and give a solo song to Gongchan. 
All: Oh~~
GC: Yay~ Then, my goal would be to sing my new solo song!

Q: What kind of song would you like to gift?
CNU: Gongchan has a very gentle voice, and fans would probably be thinking about a quite ballad or something that makes you happy when you listen to it, but oppose to that, I want to try something new!
GC: It doesn't matter whichever genre it is for me. (Shook hands with CNU)
JY: I actually also gifted Gongchan a song. However, Gongchan is still keeping it preciously (laughs).
