B1A4's History
B1A4 (비원에이포) is a five member South Korean boy-band founded by WM Entertainment in 2011. The band consists of Jinyoung, CNU, Sandeul, Baro and Gongchan. They have much interest gained due to being first introduced in a web-toon before their actual pictures were released and for their unique sound mixing pop with rock for their debut album. Their group name, B1A4, has been explained as being due to one member having B blood type, and the other four having A blood type. It also Stands for "Be The One, All For One".
On April 21, 2011 they released the song and music video for 'OK' from their first mini album Let's Fly. Their debut album 'Let's Fly' includes a song written and composed by the leader Jinyoung. As rookies, this garners much interest being that most debut albums contain little input from the members.
They made their LIVE debut on April 23, 2011 on MBC's Music Core. On July 31st 2011 the fandom was given the name of 'BANA' (Bana). BA represents B1A4 while, NA represents the fans. When put together, it means 'we have fallen for Each Other' (Banhada).
