GROUP & INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITIES - A year where they learn and sharpen each other

In the year 2015, B1A4 held their second world tour and did an outdoor venue concert, as well as actively did your individual activities. How did the members see each others’ growth? -  How do you feel after seeing the members’ individual activities?
JY: I feel proud of the members who did the activities bearing the name of B1A4. It made me feel that I should work with more responsibility, their hard work encourages me.

SD: In the past, when we leave for our individual activities, we will be very worried. But now, we will observe, believing that they will be able to excel.

GC: I have always been at the side watching how Jinyoung worked hard and  prepar for his drama or movie. Every time after watching the show, I feel that he is very cool, and is very impressed by him. This time as I try to take up a challenge in acting, I once again felt how impressive he is.

When it comes to acting, did Jinyoung gave you any advice?
GC: When the show aired, Jinyoung kakao-ed me. He told me “I have watched the show, you have put in hard work.” I was very happy.

JY: Compared to opinions, I feel that there is nothing more important than being able to blend into the acting scene. At my level, I am not suitable to tell him to do this and that, so I told him about my own feelings and thoughts. Since I have experience of filming in Jeju Island, so I told him about my experiences that time.

BR: Even when we are not together, we will also communicate with each other like that through kakao. If we have individual schedules, we will send messages like “All the best” or “I have watched your show” in the group chat. When something happens, we will send something like “Something like this happened…” as a start to inform everyone. When we say things out, we feel better isn’t it? Always thankful that there are people listening to what I have to say.

CNU: The members will show their feelings out directly without withholding. When he is angry, he is angry. When he is happy, he is happy. There is no hiding and we will say it out.

BR: That’s right. Even though most of the time its just some nonsense. Like sending pictures of funny faces (laughs)

CNU: Right, we will do these kind of stuffs. (Laughs) We will also prepare award for the funny face competition. When we are busy, to us, to be able to have a platform to find laughter, it is very therapeutic.

How nice would it be to travel overseas with everyone this year!

You started your tour in the month of January, what kind of burdens do you have for 2016?
JY: Firstly, we are very excited to meet the BANAs in Japan. We would want to have a concert that makes everyone who came not regret a thing.

BR: It will be different from the tour that we did last year end. We will sing the song that was in newly released single, we will also have special performance and set list that is only for Japan, we are very excited.

GC: We are very excited to see BANAs. I wish that BANAs and the members will take good care of their health, and that the concert will end successfully. Be it those who has been supporting us all along, or those who are attending for the first time, I hope it would be nice to have them thinking “I want to go for B1A4’s concert again” after the concert ends. If it can become a happy concert, I will also be happy.

This coming April would be B1A4’s 5th year since debut! How would B1A4 wish for 2016 to be?
BR: Last year when we had our individual we had a great outcome, and we also learnt a lot from each other during this time. Talking about that year, it was a simply happy, or can I say proud. Like how we work hard last year, I would be happy if there are better things happening to us this year.

CNU: Even though it is 5 years, but it still feels like the year when we are still a rookie. We would want to sing more song next year, stand on even more stages, continue to release new songs, create more albums. I wish that we will be spending a busier 2016 compared to 2015. If we are able to spread our songs to those who still don’t know B1A4’s charm, I would be very happy,

SD: We also want to do a celebration for our 5th Anniversary!

BR: I want to be able to travel overseas with the members privately!

SD: The members have always talked about this, the five of us has never travelled together before. Even though we have been overseas together for work, we have never had the chance to travel.

BR: But I wish that we could work to the point we do not have any free time, so that is a little hard (laughs). If it is difficult for the five of us to go together, then even if it is with just another member, we could go together. I would like to go to somewhere overseas and far, with only us.

The member who has grown the most in 2015?
CNU: I guess that would be Gongchan. MC, drama, varierty. He challenged a lot of fields, it was a year of breakthrough.

BR: I also think it is Gongchan. The reason is the same as CNU hyung. (laughs)

GC: Honestly speaking, how was my acting? (laughs)

JY: It was better than expected, so we were surprised! Actually, because it is the first time taking up acting, I was a little worried. But to be able to take on the role of the gentle senior well, we can see that you have put in a lot of hard work, I think it is really great!

SD: I can feel that he is growing bit by bit. Seeing him grow like that makes him very lovable. I will be anticipating more in the future~ (laughs)

What was the best memories in 2015?
JY: Of course it would be the our first outdoor venue concert!

BR: It was the happiest live that we have ever did, it felt really awesome.

SD: Me too! It will go into my life’s top 10 best memories. The sight that we saw on the stage was really beautiful and touching. I felt really blessed.

GC: Mine would be world tour. We went to countries that we didn’t get to go last year and saw fans we didn’t get to see, so I was happy. I am touched to know that even in faraway places, we have people who are supporting us.

SD: Thinking back, it is really blissful. Thanks to BANAs, we have very happy activities.

CNU: It was a 1 year and 2 months wait, we ourselves were very excited and wishes to quickly do some activities.

This interview was asking the reporter if there is any star that they talk about in private when the reporters have a gathering whom they think will do well. 

So the reporter was saying when B1A4 first debuted, even though they are not from a well known entertainment company and not a huge star, when the reporters meet, they will ask each other “Did you see B1A4?”. She said that they have the very bright smile and cheerful energy. Kim Shinyoung added that they are very nice and kind hearted. The MCs also agree with her.

Often when done with a pictorial, the photographers will be two kinds of attitude towards the artistes. They either protray a defensive attitude and sometimes you can’t even find a humane aspect, or they will develop a strong feeling and become a relationship where they want to always cheer the artiste on. For the photographers, B1A4 is of course the latter. When we have good stuffs, we want to share with them, when they have food, they want to feed their lovable “children”. During this pictorial, from the leader to the youngest, everyone did their roles well down to the last detail and earning B1A4 our “mother’s smile” once again. Wishing that in the year 2016, they will be able go well and receive huge of blessings that they can’t even manage.
