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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Be it music, visual, character, the boy group who has it all, B1A4. Gongchan who is in charge of the visual had his birthday on the 14th this month. 

5 years has passed since he debut as B1A4. The maknae was used to be cute has now grown up to be a manly guy. Focus media spoke with the man who has grown more matured on his birthday.

Q: What do you think you will do on your birthday?

A: We have DMZ Peace concert schedule on my birthday. I think we always have a schedule on my birthday. However, I like it that I get to spend my birthday with fans every time.

Q: Your birthday thoughts?

A: I am happy that every time I have my birthday I am spending it with the fans. Because I have banas, my birthday can be fun when every one is together, I can also share the fun, I feel that I was able to create unforgettable memories one by one. I am excited and curious on what kind of memories will we create this year.

Q: What is the significance of birthday to Gongchan?

A: I feel that it is a time that I can look back and reflect about my parents who have given birth to me as well as the people who gave me love. Today on my birthday, more than those who have sent me their birthday greetings, I want to say thank you to those who have been by my side. Because without those people, I wouldn't be here. To them all, thank you and I love you.

Q: In your past birthday interview, you mentioned that you anticipated your aged 24 the most. Did it came as expected?

A: It had already been 3 years since I said that... Doesn't time pass too fast? Even though I am not sure why I said 24 years old... hahaha. If I were to compare to 3 years ago, I think I have grown more mature as Gongchan and Gong Chan Sik, and I have also gained a lot more responsibility for myself.

Q: If you were to choose the age you are looking forward to again?

A: 27 years old. When I had my 21 years old interview, I said it was 3 years later, which is now. As I look back to 3 years ago, many things have happened and I feel that there are lot of things to reflect upon as well. I think that 3 years can be considered a long time, but it can be considered a short time as well. I feel that it is a good time for me to compare the me from now and in the past. I feel that I was able to see on which part have I changed and on which part have I grown more mature. When I become 27, I wonder how different would the 27 years old Gongchan, Gong Chan Sik and 24 years old me has.

Q: What would be the most suitable song for this year's birthday?

A: I don't know if it is a song that suits a birthday, but I would like to recommend Theories of Youth's Nice Dream. When I am in my own personal space called sleep, I can dream about anything. Those dreams becomes great energy to me and it also gives hope to my future. Even though it may be tiring, exhausting and stressful in our daily lives, it would be good to always dream and let the dream become a good force that help you move towards your goals.

Q: You said you would like to go on a camping trip with the members if you were given a birthday off. Did that come true?

A: Even though it was not all of the members, but we went to Bali ^^. Baro hyung, Sandeul hyung and myself went there. It was a pity that due to schedules, Jinyoung hyung and Shinwoo hyung weren't able to join us. We did not have any plans before travelling, 2 days before the trip we decided the place, bought the air tickets, booked the place to stay 1 day before... it was spectacular. However, that was fun. It was a really impromptu trip and everything was fun ^^. We couldn't speak their language so we were expressing ourselves with our body, we plan what we want to do at night, even when it comes to eat, we walked on the streets and says "this looks like it is nice" and enter to eat to our heart's content, it was really a no regrets trip and I think it was really fun. The days when I was with the hyungs, it was fun and happy. Next time, I want to travel with all of the members together!

Q: Do you have any stars you want to received birthday greetings from?

A: Senior Yoo Jaeseok. Yoo Jaeseok has the same birthday as me! I want to greet Senior Yoo Jaeseok happy birthday and I hope he can wish me happy birthday too ^^. I want to discuss a lot of my troubles with him. I also want to chat with him on all on the nice things and I think that I would gain strength if I were to listen to his words.

Q: Is there a goal that you want to fulfil through your birthday wish?

A: There's still 4 months left to the end of 2016. I wish that we can meet the fans a lot through our activities! For that, we will work hard to be together with you guys. A big thankful for waiting and let's only walk on flower path (only happy stuffs)!

Q: Things you hope from the members on your birthday?

A: Jinyoung hyung, Shinwoo hyung, Sandeul hyung, Baro hyung. Even though it is something I always say, but thank you and thank you! I won't forget that I wouldn't be where I am without you guys. You do not need to treat me better. Just stay this way. I will do better be it as Gongchan or Changsik. B1A4 I love you.

Q: Say something thankful to yourself

A: I really like you. Up till now, the way you always give people strength, always staying patient and working hard. I just thank you a lot. You gave strength to me just by existing. Please also stay like this for me in the future. I love you. Gongchan, no, Chansik-ah.

Korea popular Boy group B1A4 appeared on [遇见男神], 5 young boys fulfilling your dreams

When it comes to idols we like, girls will like to use the word "husband" to express their love~~ Last week I mentioned that girls nowadays "changes a husband when they switch a drama", and when I said that... There were actually a group of people who refuted me and said "I change many husbands in one drama."

Since that is the case, I showed hand. 5 husband in 1 episode of 遇见男神?! Don't believe, here's the proof!! ↓↓↓↓↓

[遇见男神] Pure and innocent B1A4's firsthand preview

This group which is being classified as "superb appearance" popular boy group B1A4, will be landing on this week's 遇见男神~! Before the show starts, please allow me to bring you into the word of B1A4, to experience their youth and charisma! Warm up your bodies!

On 23rd Apr 2011, B1A4 debuted as a boy group with Jinyoung, CNU, Sandeul, Baro, Gongchan, 5 pretty boys. The inspiration for the name comes from the English phrase "Be the One All for One". In addition to that, they have 1 B blood type member and 4 A blood type members.

Leader JInyoung is a very charismatic guy. He received training for composing, singing and acting at a young age. His outstanding musical talents are highly anticipated, he even has a song in B1A4's first mini album "Let's Fly".

Big Brother CNU who has a wonderful body, is good not only in singing but rapping as well, taking on the roles of a vocal as well as a rapper in the group. In the eyes of the fans, CNU is very manly, even though he can be very quite, but the moment he smiles, he can make fans swoon.

In the video that was shared, Sandeul is always smiling, his face has a bright smile, and his eye-smiles are very attractive, which makes people easily think of "Smiling Angel".

As the main vocal of the group, Sandeul has already won a lot of singing competition before debut, coming in as the champion in Korea's 2nd and 3rd youth singing competition, as well as the 10th Pohang's Korea singing competition, is a powerpact idol. Sandeul has also participated in Korea's "King of Masked Singer" and was praised as being the top 3 idols who "can sing very well".

Baro was the first to join B1A4 as a member, the company representative saw Baro's video on his friend's cyworld and found this star. In the released video, Baro is fashionable and classy, not a hip-hop boy, buy a city-boy feel. His milk like skin and deep stare gives a huge contrast, as if hinting he is a character who is gentle yet strong.

Even though Baro has a flower boy feel, but he has a deep low voice. As the lead rapper in the group, Baro also has a "rapper reversion"(?) nickname. Being the closest with Sandeul in the group, they are being called Badeul couple by the fans.

The youngest in the group Gongchan was uncovered when he won the "Ullzang Challenge" in Korea Cyworld during his Secondary school days. His handsome features, and his cross-dressing while performing a song from Ivy, makes the company set the decision to sign him.

The group members are also very envious about the features of the youngest. Shinwoo always says that when he first saw Gongchan's picture, he felt like he was glowing, Jinyoung also once said that the person he is envious the most in the group is Gongchan.

Since debut till now, B1A4 has won many gayo awards as well as popularity awards, being winning the bonsang award for 3 consecutive years, it shows that B1A4's results.

This time as the boys come on 遇见男神, what interesting things would happen between the 5 youthful boys and a lucky girl? Follow me into the world of B1A4.

Cracking their brains at the Amusement Park

I feel that the place to show the manly side of B1A4 is none other than the amusement park. B1A4 will be meeting their lucky girl at this place which is smiles and laughter.

Playing thrilling rides

How can we miss out on the thrilling rides when it comes to the amusement park? I also want to ride the viking with oppa~~ Can you please take me along?

What is the most most most most popular food in Korea? Follow me and say "Barbeque meat!" If I can eat the meat that the 5 oppas personally cook, I don't mind gaining even 10kg! Who is eventually the oppa who will cook the most delicious meat? And who will be the creator of the "burnt food"? This week Saturday, 22:00, Anhui TV 遇见男神, B1A4 will tell you the answer personally!

I only want to be floating in B1A4 world, and experience their charisma! Even when separated by the screen, we are able to feel their innocence and energy! With a B1A4 who is like this, have you fallen for them?

This Saturday 22:00, tune in to Anhui TV 遇见男神, innocent young men B1A4 shall see you then!!
