Hello it’s Sandeul~ㅎㅎ
Our BANAs are doing well right?? Thanks to our BANAs’ cheering, we’re eating and sleeping well and we’re working hard on our Sleep Well Goodnight promotions So don’t worry too much about us~!!ㅎㅎ For some reason, today feels like a day where I want to make confessions at dawn~ㅎㅎ You know our b1a4 cherishes and loves BANAs a lot right?ㅎㅎ Right.. and I didn’t want to cause any worries but ㅠㅠ I got an eye infection ㅠㅠ That’s why I think I need to wear sunglasses for the time being ㅜㅜ I wanted to have a brighter and closer view of our BANAs’ faces… ㅜㅜ That’s the most upsetting part ㅜㅜ They said it’ll heal if I take and apply my medicine so I hope you wouldn’t worry too much about me~~!!ㅎㅎ Instead of worrying about me, the BANAs who have their exams soon, do well and to the BANAs who have jobs, work hard and everyone, at their respective locations, can work hard at what you all have to do while cheering us on~!! BANA!!! You know I’m thankful and that I really really love you right~??ㅎㅎ Also, Jinyoungie hyung just made a twitter~ㅎㅎ We’re not pressuring for more followers~ㅎㅎ @_Jinyoung911118 -- trans. cr; susan @ b1a4trans | source cr; b1a4’s fancafe ; take out with full credits “ZIPPER” Japanese Magazine: WEL~COME, OUR GOOD MEN, #B1A4 This month’s good men are the group that swept up the rookie awards, standing out in the K-POP world, the five members of rookie group B1A4 ☆ Just before B1A4’s debut ☆ They want time to pass faster so that they’d be able to meet their Japanese fans!! Reporter: Congratulations on your Japanese debut! Could you tell us how you’re feeling right now? CNU: I’m feeling really happy! I’d like to show many of our Japanese fans our stage, and let them listen to our songs, and I’m really looking forward to it. Sandeul: Me too, my heart is pounding excitedly, looking forward to standing on our Japanese stage. Baro: But at the same time, while (looking forward to) having fun, I’m feeling the pressure. Even more than who we are right now, I think that we can’t not show the figure of us who have worked hard, grown up, and matured. Reporter: Your Japanese debut song is ‘Beautiful Target’, and the Korean version of the song was a big hit. How did your recording in Japanese go? Jinyoung: At first, as we thought, it was difficult. What was especially difficult was matching the lyrics and the syllables. Baro: It was the first time for me making the rap part in Japanese, and thinking of how to make words rhyme was difficult for me. Gongchan: However, this is a song that let a lot of people in Korea know about B1A4’s unique colours. Because it’s a song that gives you strength if you listen to it when you’re not feeling fine, we’d definitely like to let everyone in Japan listen to our song! Reporter: The name B1A4 comes from your blood types? CNU: Yes, it comes from how we have one member of blood type B, and four members of blood type A. It also has the meaning of ‘Be the one, All for one’, where we would do our best in order to realise our dreams. Jinyoung: In Korea, we too have descriptions about how type As are like with regards to their personality. But I don’t think we’ve got things like blood type fortune telling that Japan has… Reporter: In Japan, blood type fortune telling is popular. Type A and type B’s compatability is lacking (when it comes to this sort of thing) but B1A4 seems to get along really well! Baro: I’m the only one with blood type B, so somehow it seems to be just fine! Reporter: Ahaha (laughs) Well, if all five of you were part of a family, what sort of role would you play? CNU: It’s said that I would play the role of the mother (laughs) Jinyoung: For example, when we leave the dormitory, CNU would ask things like ‘have we switched off the gas stove’, and ‘have we locked up’, he’s very steady (when it comes to such things). Also, he’s good at clearing up! Baro: Jinyoung hyung would have the position of the father! He’s the leader type who stands at the head and leads us. He encourages us, and warns us properly when he’s angry. CNU: Gongchan is the youngest one of us all, so I suppose he has the position of the maknae. However, he’s a person of really firm character. In reality, it’s because he’s the eldest son (at home), so he pays attentions to things often. Jinyoung: I often lose things in different places, and forget where I place things, and it’s always Gongchan who finds them for me. I call that ‘Gongchan’s miracle’ (laughs) Baro and Sandeul: We are, the unreasonable sons, number 1, and number 2! Baro: Let’s decide who’s number 1 and who’s number 2! Sandeul: My birthday’s first, so I’m number 1! Baro: Che, fine then. Jinyoung: Just like that, Baro and Sandeul are always joking around, making us laugh. They are the vitamins that give us strength. Reporter: You guys really get along well~!! Well then, finally, please tell us what is your impression of a ‘good man’! Jinyoung: A man who shows consideration for others. CNU: For me, I think it’s a man who knows love. Baro: A man who continues loving only one woman in his lifetime. Gongchan: A man who does his best to achieve the things that suits him. Sandeul: Ah, I became the last person to say my opinion! What shall I do… I can’t think of anything…!! I suppose it’s a man who’s considerate, who knows love, who continues loving only one woman, and does his best!! Jinyoung, CNU, Baro and Gongchan: You’ve summarised what we said~ (laughs) jp-eng trans cr: tables @ AVIATEB1A4 scan cr: mybigbabygongchan’s ameblo TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDIT TO THE SOURCE AND TRANSLATOR !!

Their lead song ‘O.K’ became a hot topic with their refreshing dance move, the ‘breeze dance’, and their 2nd mini album, ‘it B1A4’ became a big hit. In 2011 they achieved the highest sales for a rookie group’s albums, and they won many music awards for rookies. With their cute looks, exceptional singing ability, charming performances, as well as their high musicality where they compose, write their own lyrics, and create their own rap parts, have of course, led them to have a rise in popularity in all parts of Asia. For their showcase in Japan, all tickets were sold out, and before their popularity could be seen even before their Japanese debut. Right now, they are in the middle of promotion activities for their first album that they released this march in Korea, ‘THE B1A4 I - IGNITION’. Their image has become a little more adult, and as artistes, their musicality has gotten higher, moreover, support for them has increased, where they have entered music charts quickly at top spots alongside the likes of top artistes such BIG BANG, CNBLUE and SHINee. Also, apart from music activities, B1A4 member CNU is also appearing in a sitcom ‘Sent From Heaven’, and Baro is appearing as a regular in a gourmet show, and the members’ activities as individuals are increasing. Also, at long last, it is confirmed that B1A4 will be making their Japanese debut! B1A4 will be stirring up new winds in the Japanese music scene!! [B1A4 Official Site] Sources : b1a4.info+mtv japan / jp-eng trans credits : tables @ AVIATEB1A4 ★ JINYOUNG Hobby: Composing songs, watching romance movies. “I want to recommend a Korean movie, 오싹한 연애 (Chilling Romance).” When leader Jinyoung composes a song,”he is a man who never gives up. When he decides on doing something he finishes it. It’s really cool.” (Gongchan) “His body looks really skinny but his muscles are no joke.” (CNU) He who is frequently complimented by the members, however, also has this other side to him. “He is horrible at cleaning, so his room is disorderly.” (Baro) “His sleep talking is no joke either! In the middle of the night we hear a clear loud ‘No more than this!’, and when we check out who is it, it was said by Jinyoung hyung who was sleeping (laugh). The next morning when we ask him about it, he has no memory of it at all…” (Sandeul) ★ CNU Hobby: Building up his arm muscles. “My charm point are my shoulders! Only because there are many people who say so.” The tallest amongst the members CNU has the nickname “bear”. It came about when he was young, and because he was slow in both his actions and speech. That is what he says himself, but it seems that the other members have different nicknames for him too. “CNU hyung is B1A4′s mother. He cleans up the room, turns off the gas and electricity when we go out, and locks the doors.” (Sandeul) “He is really like a mother, taking care of the little things. But he also likes biscuits and cookies very much! It’s unexpectedly cute, isn’t it?” (Gongchan) He reveals that his recent worry are about his dark circles. Ah, youth… ★ SANDEUL Hobby: Listening to music and watching movies. “I was very touched watching French/American movieI Love You Phillip Morris. He who introduces himself brightly as Sandeul, the man who is like an octopus; the more you chew, the tastier it becomes. He is the mood-maker in the group. “He definitely gives strength to the members.” (CNU) Sandeul is really cute when he sticks out his lips and jokes around. But his weakness would also be having to clean up. “He just leaves the things he uses lying around.” (Baro) “He’s bad at cleaning up, just like me.” (Jinyoung) However, he raises a counterargument. “I may not be good at cleaning up but I’m better than Jinyoung hyung!” (Sandeul) “Well… It’s nice that he works hard to clean up, but the results do not match the hard work put in.” (CNU) ★ BARO Hobby: Reading and listening to music. “American movie 500 Days of Summer made me laugh and cry, I think it’s a nice movie.” The nickname of cutie Baro with his round eyes is “squirrel”. “When you look at him, he has a very mischievous image. But in reality, he is more gentle than he looks.” (CNU) He does seem so. “Amongst the members he likes cleaniness the most, and he’s good at cleaning up. He’s thoughtful enough to even arrange my desktop for me.” (Jinyoung) Baro replies jokingly, “My joy in life is cleaning up (laugh). Actually, there are some folders that I could not arrange on his desktop. My desktop only has two folders for music and videos!” (Baro) ★ GONGCHAN Hobby: Reading and listening to music. “I like Justin Bieber’s Boyfriend On first glance, he looks cool but maknae Gongchan is a mysterious man with many tears. “It’s really amazing. We all do not know about our schedules, but somehow Gongchan always knows. And he even remembers all the schedules we’ve had in the past.” (Jinyoung) “Channie also remembers the names and faces of people he’s only met once.” (Baro) His memory is really good then! “I do not put any special effort into memorizing stuff, but when questioned, the answers just come out. I’m also amazed at how I memorized them.” (Gongchan) Source: blog.daum.net/skipfire Translation Credits: skipfire @ FLIGHTB1A4.com Please credit both the sources and translators when taking out. B1A4, Baro and the exam lunchbox that made his eyes watery Reconstruction of B1A4′s interview, we continue from part one. Instead of watching the pretty models strut on the runway in their underwear on Victoria’s Secret fashion show but to learn Justin Timberlake’s sexiness; we believe that we’ve showed everyone Sandeul’s beautiful and pretty sincere heart through part one of the interview. In part two, we tell the story of Baro crying as if he was eating rice. ◆ Baro, please do not cry Baro: I nearly cried after reading the letter that the members wrote when I took my exams 2 years ago. Sandeul: Wow really? Baro: That’s why I say letters are important. They’re not written for nothing. Sandeul: Understood. I’ll make a bot write it and give it to you. Baro: I nearly cried because the hyungs made me a lunchbox. But the exam papers were in white, and I had to write with a black pen (so I couldn’t cry). Because Sandeul hadn’t changed his address yet, he went to Busan to take his exams. His parents packed lunch for him as well so I was really jealous. I was really lonely. I didn’t even study so I almost could not take the exam. I didn’t expect the hyungs to make a lunch box for me, yet it was right there when I wake up. At that moment I wasn’t jealous of Sandeul anymore. I found strength in my shoulders (laugh). (Jinyoung and CNU give out fatherly smiles) Baro: I left the house headed for the subway, but manager hyung said that he’d fetch me to school. But I had made plans to meet my friends at the subway station so I just left by myself. It was lunch time after the exams and when I opened up the lunchbox there was a heart made from peas. Paired with tuna fried rice were several side dishes. It hadn’t been long since I transferred schools then so I ate it by myself. Sandeul: Aigo, squirrel! Baro: But it was a lunchbox of love, so I didn’t feel lonely at all. Sandeul: I didn’t really bother much about exams. I didn’t really study much at all (laugh). During lunch time, I just walked around school brightly. I didn’t have many friends too. Baro: Other than Jinyoung hyung who took it last year, the four of us took our college extrance exams shortly after we debuted. You know how just before the exams, there are reports of which idols were going to be sitting for them? Only my name didn’t come out! I started to be upset. Sandeul, CNU hyung and Channie even got interviewed at the exam hall, and there were pictures taken too. Jinyoung: Even I got interviewed. Baro:I felt the loneliness from 2 years ago. I thought there would be people who would recognize me after I debuted, but no one knew me at all. Since I’m a guy, I sat for the exams with all the other guys. The people standing at the entrance cheering didn’t even know who I was. When I went (into the exam hall), I thought ‘there can’t possibly be not even one person who watches music shows right?’, but I guess there was really no one who watches them. No one at all. Sandeul: It was like that for us too! Gongchan: No one really knew us. Reporter: Are you sure… Baro: The fans even asked why weren’t we taking our exams. ◆ B1A4 is an animal kingdom? Reporter: Each of you have nicknames right? Do you like them? Baro: Me first, me first! Reporter: Yeah, squirrel, please speak. Baro: Ah… I really like the nickname of ‘squirrel’. But it’ll be nice if I got a new nickname. I really hear that I look like a squirrel because of my front teeth. Because of my love for soccer, I also have nicknames like Cha Duri, (T/N: There is a South Korean professional soccer player playing for a German club currently named Cha Duri.) Cha dolpark, Chadol. But since I’ve debuted and promoted for a year now, I hope for a more mature nickname. Rather than ‘cute’, I’d like to hear that I’m ‘cool’. Members: Lynx, Eurasian red squirrel, otter… Gongchan: My nickname is Chan-puppy. Puppy. CNU: Ddong-puppy. (T/N: It’s slang for children who cannot stay still for too long.) Jinyoung: His eyes are bright and looks like a Shitzu, so people call him puppy. If he ties up his fringe, they look even more alike. During our trainee days, he looked exactly like a Shitzu whenever he tied up his fringe. Gongchan: There is also a nickname ‘Krong-chan’. Sandeul: That’s why we highly recommended dinosaur as a nickname. We went to watch a movie without Channie, but they were showing Jurassic in 3D. They look the same when the dinosaur opens their mouth, so we took a picture and uploaded it on Twitter. They look alike when they yawn. Gongchan: I wish to hear that I’m manly. Sandeul: Doberman. Baro: German Shepherd? Or a stronger puppy. Gongchan: Up until now, I’ve been hearing that I’m like a puppy, or a baby. But it’ll be nice to hear that I’ve matured, or I’m manly. CNU: As for me, bear? And noona. These are nicknames I’ve heard since my school days. I’m so much like a bear in terms of my appearance and actions, so I was given that nickname. My friend ever saved my number in his handphone under the name ‘Shin-bear’. Sandeul: Whenever he lies down, he will get someone to help him up. He’s somewhat like Pooh. For bears, when they are slow they are slow. But there are times that they are really fast right? He gets really fast when he’s happy. For example, when we go eat something delicious? CNU: I’m satisfied with my nickname of bear. I don’t like the nickname of noona, though. But it’s nothing bad though, of course. Jinyoung: If he puts on a hairpin, he is pretty though. CNU: What are you saying? Jinyoung: For me, I’m an arctic fox. Sandeul: Handsome youth? I get the feel of a handsome youth from hyung. My nickname is duck! But when I was in middle school, my nickname was jung-pan, created from ‘Junghwan reads fantasy novels’. (T/N: 정환이가 판타지 소설 본다.) There was once I was so addicted to reading fantasy novels. For a good while after that, my friends called me jung-pan. My teacher called me ‘mole’. Until middle school, I had a big mole so my teacher went “hey mole!” at me. It’ll be nice if I had unusual nicknames. Jinyoung: I gave him the nickname of duck. There was once I got him to run an errand for me, to buy some green onions. He looked exactly like Farfetch’d from Pokemon. (T/N: Farfetch’d is literally translated from English into Korean into 파오리 green onion-duck.) It eventually became duck. Sandeul: I want to have a unique nickname. Members: Mallard? Sandeul: The nickname of mallard is only so-so. Monument? I want to be a rare animals. Members: Platypus. Sandeul: Since the platypus is brown, I like it (laugh). CNU: Sandeul is also good at swimming. As soon as Baro saw him swim, he called him a platypus. Sandeul: But because the platypus has a tummy, I don’t like it.

If they were to choose the president these days, many young girls would be choosing this group. The name of this idol group may be a little strange to the older generation, it is B1A4. Their group name is formed from the basis that 1 member has blood type B and 4 members with blood type A. There are often misunderstandings, with people referring to them as B1F4 because of drama‘Boys Over Flowers’, or the size of paper A4. But there is no mistake that these boys are the hottest rookies who have been making young girls laugh and cry in 2012. A year ago, these five boys were amazed by the sight outside the closed windows of our interview room in Hongik University. But now they have transformed into bad boys who wink while “leaving a text message of ‘sleep well darling, see you tomorrow’”, and saying that they will “be back tomorrow, so even if I don’t reply, I’m late or if you hate me, please ignore it and move on”. But what can we do, they are the bad boys we canot hate. Cute but manly at the same time, serious yet mischievous, quiet yet there is occasional chattering. We have prepared this for the people who have yet to fall into B1A4′s charms. It is the reconstruction of B1A4′s interview. We’ve reconstructed the hilarious and fresh interview as much as we could. What if it was the automated voice support? Congratulations. We offer the chance for the young fans to speak comfortably with their oppas, and the noona/aunt fans the chance to call them oppa. Only 10 seconds each. Of course, this has not been agreed upon with B1A4, so it’ll be a problem if you say that you saw it in an article. We recommend that you talk to them about the photographs in the repackage album THE B1A4 I IGNITION SPECIAL EDITION. Then you would not have to worry about ‘브이텍’ (slang where people use it in the situation where your heartbeat is increasing yet there is not enough blood). ◆ What exactly is Victoria’s Secret? Reporter: Sandeul, shall we talk about Victoria’s Secret? Sandeul: Ah… (The expression of what they call a ‘mental breakdown’) Members: Wahaha! Sandeul: I downloaded the video of Victoria’s Secret runway show. When I was searching for Justin Timberlake on the Internet, there were many search results of him performing ‘Sexy Back’ during the Victoria’s Secretshow. I felt that ‘Sleep Well Good Night’ needed the slightly seductive feeling on stage so we were supposed to show sexy eyes. I searched for Chris Brown(‘s performances) and that performance as well, but I didn’t expect the reaction to be so huge ㅠㅠ We did a livestream chat via AfreecaTV with the fans at night, just like a video call with my computer. Jinyoung: I think I’m the culprit. Firstly, I’m sorry. We were carrying out the chatting on AfreecaTV well all the way till the end. I didn’t know how to end the chat properly so I just turned off the camera and the desktop wallpaper ended up showing (on the chat). The video showed up on the desktop, and the fans took a screenshot. We thought that ending the chat meant just switching off the camera but suddenly Channie goes “hyung! The desktop wallpaper is showing”. We thought it was an error and only we could see it (laugh). But the fans saw it all. Sandeul: I thought to myself, ‘just exactly what is Victoria’s Secret?’ I watched the video and saw that it was just a fashion show. But after that when I searched on the Internet, it was something similar to Maxim in our country. Baro: Isn’t it an underwear brand? Reporter: That’s right. Sandeul: Eh????? Really????? Seriously?????? Baro: Black Eyed Peas have ever stood on that stage before. I thought it was just a performance stage as well. Gongchan: You said you want to do it too? Baro: It is a stage everyone would want to challenge for once in their life. Sandeul: Oh, I think that Justin Timberlake is really amazing. The video title was “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Justin Timberlake Sexy Back”. Since the title was so long it was truncated to only “Victoria’s Secret” on my desktop. Baro: That’s why I changed the name of the video. Sandeul: Ah…. Baro: I have several too. Yah, we have to change the names of all the videos. I have Usher‘s too… Sandeul: Ah seriously! I really got misunderstood. My desktop had Shinchan The Movie and Naruto videos too ㅠㅠ I’m a man who watches Shinchan. But I haven’t been able to watch it too. Baro: I worried a lot alone. Going “eh?!” at my iPad, I couldn’t even fall asleep. Gongchan: He was totally serious about it, alone in the middle of the night. Jinyoung: Totally made a fuss about it. Sandeul: It was funny at first, but it got worrisome eventually. Baro: I didn’t even know how to explain it. I did think that after releasing the stress by performing on music shows I should talk about it but he(Sandeul) had already written a post about it. Seriously… Sandeul: Hey, not you too *&^%$$#!$^&*() Jinyoung: A couple days ago we cleaned up the house. We were happy after cleaning up the house but such things just had to happen (laugh). Whenever we clean the house, something like this always happens. Gongchan: Isn’t this the first time? CNU: Exactly. Jinyoung: Is that so? ◆ Sandeul’s mental breakdown caused by Victoria’s Secret, and the aftermath Reporter: But these days, Sandeul has been preparing for the musical‘Brothers Were Brave’ right? Sandeul: I play the character of the younger brother Joobong, but the scripts include lines like ‘fella’ and ‘I’m talking to hyung but I feel like a fool’. Unknowningly when I speak I become more rough too. I often ask myself who am I living us. Reporter: How does it feel to carry out interviews without the members? Sandeul: On the day we reveal our (musical) practice room, I did an interview. I then understood the importance of the members. I felt it too harshly. As expected, I felt that B1A4 is one. Members: Puahaha! Reporter: As for the other members, what do you want to do? For example, if you had a holiday? Baro: When we are promoting, we should focus on promotions. Members: Er… Baro: The weather recently has been really nice so I want to go to places like Hawaii or Gaum, keke. Europe is nice too. Basically I just want to travel to a place with sunshine. Not long ago we went to Han River to catch some fresh air, but only me and Jinyoung hyung got off the car. Han River should be visited at night, because in the day it is so hot. We made some time to visit but it was not satisfying. CNU: I didn’t get off the car. I was just watching from the back mirror, but I could feel the wind as I ate ice cream. Baro: In any case, Han River should be visited at night. There are so many people (visiting) in the summer. Sandeul: What do you do that? Baro: Just feel the wind. Sandeul: Ah… TO BE CONTINUED IN PART TWO > Baro and the exam lunchbox that made his eyes watery (Part 2) TO BE CONTINUED IN PART THREE > B1A4, Seeking an explanation from Jung Jinyoung (Part 3) Source: Joy News 24 // Translation Credits: skipfire @ FLIGHTB1A4.com ★ Goal of achieving first on the Oricon charts - Your Japanese debut on 27 June is approaching soon, leader Jinyoung please tell us about your feelings now! Jinyoung: We are working hard for our debut. Rather than being nervous, we are more excited. We want to hurry meet the Japanese fans, and stand on the stage. - Your goal is to achieve first on the Oricon charts, right? Jinyoung: We believe that if we work hard enough, we can achieve our goals. - It is the ‘nothing is impossible’ mindset. Moving on, ‘Beautiful Target’ was a hit in Korea last year. Please tell the Japanese fans more about the song! Sandeul: It is a fresh and youthful song. When you are down, I feel that it will make your mind clear. When you listen to it feeling happy, you’ll enjoy it even more. You will be able to hear various sound effects like gunshots, a female screaming and rocket sounds. - The lyrics speak of a man falling for a beautiful lady at first sight. What are your beautiful targets like? What would you do if they appear? Gongchan: A girl who is usually very calm, but in front of only me has much aegyo! If such a girl appears, I’ll take my time and express my feelings to her slowly. Baro: For me, a girl who speaks and communicates well with me. But if such a girl appears, I will not just simply confess to her. I am the type who would wait till I gather up the courage to confess. CNU: A kind person who cares and looks after me like a mother. A girl who understands me well. But I will not be able to approach her quickly, I am the type who would watch and look for a chance (to confess). (Jinyoung starts smiling and nodding) - Oh? Jinyoung, is that someone who comes to mind? CNU: No, the five of us have been together ever since our trainee days, there is no time for us to find a girl we like. - Your youth days must have been busy. What is Jinyoung’s type of girl then? Jinyoung: Hmm, I don’t have a specific type based on appearance. I like people based on their first impressions. The style I like differs at different timings. If I really find a girl whom I like, I most likely will approach her actively and personally. Sandeul: If I find a girl whom I like, I try to get closer to her. I’ll then actively confess to her. The type of girl I like depends on situations, but I like girls who like me. - There are many of you looking for girls who like them. So, when you held your fanclub inauguration event in Tokyo in April, you guys showed a unique ‘sprout dance’ move during your performance of Beautiful Target. It’s become a topic, this dance that asks you to hold your hands above your head while locking your hips and moving your legs!! Gongchan: The ‘sprout dance’ was created by Baro hyung while fooling around! It’s a dance that introduces us as sprouts, and asks for everyone to look after us in the future. - Hey~ Baro has a strong genius rapper image, yet he managed to come up with a dance! In the Japanese version of ‘Beautiful Target’, Baro has to rap in Japanese. Was it hard? Baro: Even though we took Japanese lessons prior to recording, it was really difficult. Due to the different words, the rhythm was different. But it was a really fresh experience. The lyrics had the same meanings as the Korean version, so it was less difficult than expected. And honestly speaking, my rap parts had many English words so I didn’t suffer that much at all. Jinyoung: Baro has a strong obsession about rap. As much as he worries about the rap, he has managed to establish his own rap. His rap is charming because no matter how many times you hear it it doesn’t get boring, it’s unique and interesting. - Jinyoung, you also composed ‘Bling Girl’ right? Do you create your songs as you play the piano? Jinyoung: I don’t use specific instruments (to compose). I composed ever since before debut, and I’ve been composing using a synthesizer connected to the computer. From the computer, I am able to choose various instruments such as the drum. - ‘Bling Girl’ is a self-composed song? Jinyoung: At that time, I couldn’t come up with the chords. Hence I started by creating the melody, and then inserted the chords. I’m currently studying more about making chords. There are some regrettable parts (in Bling Girl), but I feel that it is a song that represented all that I felt before we debuted. - It is a song that is jammed with Jinyoung’s thoughts then. In the normal edition of the Japanese album, there is an original song ‘Ready to Go’ included. How did you all study Japanese? CNU: We’ve been learning from a Japanese teacher who comes to teach us at the company. Even though there hasn’t been much time recently, we’re still working hard. - There is a handshake session on 30 June and a commemoration event on 1 July. You can show off your improved Japanese to the fans then! Sandeul: So far our lives in Japan have received passionate support. You can’t even feel the difference from the Korean lives. - What words from the fans make you happy? Jinyoung: I feel happy to hear them say I’m charming. Gongchan: “I’ll always be cheering for you!” Baro: Hmm, nothing comes to mind.. Ah! I know! “Today you guys were the best! The best! The best!” Sandeul: During the fanclub inauguration event in April, I introduced myself as something that would taste better the more you chew. I was very touched when the fans cheered me on by saying “Octopus, fighting!” CNU: What could it be for me? Gongchan: For CNU hyung it would be “you’re so cool!”. CNU: That’s right! I feel happy when I hear that (laugh) ★ When all the schedules have ended, exchange of ideas during a reflection session - What does everyone talk about when you return to your dormitory after your schedules? CNU: Everyone is really talkative so we talk a lot. It’s hard to name just one. We discuss work, and put a lot of thoughts into what we’ve done well and what we need to change about our performances. Recently a topic has been about the music we don’t like. - You are really passionate about your work. What about your meals? CNU: I often cook. Kimchi fried rice, ddeokbokki… Recently we’ve been busy so I haven’t cooked much. But back in our trainee days, we had a roster to make breakfast for all five members. Gongchan: (CNU hyung’s) kimchi fried rice is really delicious but.. I’m not so sure about his ddeokbokki.. (laugh) But CNU hyung grills samgyupsal really well. - The member with a weird habit? Baro: I’ll talk about this! I want to say that the three members (excluding Gongchan) are really bad at cleaning up. They don’t bother about the smaller pieces of rubbish. It’ll be nice if you did a little more cleaning up. (Jinyoung, CNU and Sandeul smile bitterly) - Baro is the only member with blood type B in B1A4. I think there are many things that the remaining 4 members with blood type A want to talk about as well. As the popularity of B1A4 increases, there have been solo activities planned out as well. CNU had his first acting challenge in spring with sitcom I Need A Fairy as a high school student with a dream to be a singer. How was it? CNU: I have always wanted to try acting in a drama, but because it’s a totally different thing from being a singer so it was hard. Initially I was so nervous, but I enjoyed it eventually thanks to the opinions the members gave me, and the nice treatment from the senior actors. Sandeul: I couldn’t imagine that the CNU hyung I was seeing in the drama was the same CNU hyung that I knew. CNU: That’s right. I think the members were embarrassed to see the scenes I came out in. But in the end they told me that they got used to it (seeing me on the drama). - You will start to get busier after your debut on 27 June. Please tell us about your goals for this year. Jinyoung: We want to get a rookie award in Japan. Gongchan: I want to achieve first place on the daily charts. Jinyoung: Oh? That’s not it. Gongchan: Ah! I got it wrong. I want to achieve first place on the weekly charts. And I want to achieve first place on the monthly charts as well. Sandeul: I don’t know if I’m thinking too far ahead, but it’ll be nice if there were people cheering for us anywhere we go. I want to tell people about us. CNU: I want to hold a B1A4 solo concert. A concert name that includes B1A4! Baro: I want to lose 5kg, and make defined abs. Sandeul: I want to have abs too. - Both of you are having a competition then. Baro: I ate too much meat yesterday, so it starts now. Sandeul: The opponent is impossible (to beat). (laugh) Gongchan: CNU hyung has many outfits that are sleeveless so he is always doing pushups. - We look forward to how B1A4 will continue to grow. Please end it off with a word to the Japanese fans! Gongchan: Everyone, please just wait a little longer! We are going to Japan soon to meet everyone, so please cheer for us and give us a lot of love! ★ Jinyoung Hobby: Writing and composing songs Something you cannot leave out from your bag: MP3 and earphones What would you be now if you didn’t debut: Inventor If you had a Japanese girlfriend, where would you go for your first date: Namsan Tower Where do you start washing from when you take a bath: Hair Your future dreams: To have a happy family ★ CNU Hobby: Exercising to train my arm muscles Something you cannot leave out from your bag: Spectacles and MP3 What would you be now if you didn’t debut: Boss of a samgyupsal restaurant If you had a Japanese girlfriend, where would you go for your first date: Shimokitazawa (the feel there is good) Where do you start washing from when you take a bath: Teeth Your future dreams: I want to own a 3-storey building; the first level will be a music school, second level a samgyupsal restaurant and the third level a taekwondo hall ★ Sandeul Hobby: Singing Something you cannot leave out from your bag: Spectacle case What would you be now if you didn’t debut: I cannot think of anything else than to be a singer If you had a Japanese girlfriend, where would you go for your first date: Kyoto, or Everland Resort Where do you start washing from when you take a bath: Chest Your future dreams: To let people know about B1A4, no matter what countries they’re from ★ Baro Hobby: Movie appreciation Something you cannot leave out from your bag: Japanese vocabulary book What would you be now if you didn’t debut: Soccer player (even though it’ll be tiring) If you had a Japanese girlfriend, where would you go for your first date: Hokkaido (the scenery filled with snow is really pretty) Where do you start washing from when you take a bath: Usually it’ll be my hair, but if I have make-up on I’ll start from my face Your future dreams: To have a world tour concert as B1A4 ★ Gongchan Hobby: Searching for movies with the themes of love and separation Something you cannot leave out from your bag: Book What would you be now if you didn’t debut: Professional swimmer If you had a Japanese girlfriend, where would you go for your first date: Osaka Where do you start washing from when you take a bath: Face Your future dreams: To keep on doing what I like Source: beautifulday.kr Translation Credits: skipfire @ FLIGHTB1A4.com CNU Your charms: I do both vocals and rap. It’s a little embarrassing to say this myself, but my pretty smile. Before I sleep, I organize the happenings of the day while doing some slight reflections, and think of the next day’s schedules. The scene in the dormitory before sleeping: (Interpreting artist Shin’s drawing) Jinyoung would fall asleep curled up like a baby. Sandeul would have thrown his blanket out of his bed and fallen asleep with his laptop on his stomach. Baro sleeps the most comfortably with his blanket pulled up to his chest. Lullaby you wish to hear from your girlfriend? It’s enough to hear her sing “잘자요 우리아기” (Sleep Well, Our Baby), even if she has no techniques. Type of girl who will move your heart: A bright girl who always smiles to the people in her surroundings. When you’re in love: I would probably be passionate but that’s just a guess. Honestly I don’t know my own style. What would you buy a 100 million dollar insurance for? My shoulders. When do you miss the members? When I was waiting around in the waiting room during my sitcom filming, I really thought a lot about them. A moment when you’ll be oddly sad: A bedroom in our dorm has 2 double-decked beds, so that room has 4 members and one of us sleeps alone. I’m constantly worried about having to sleep alone if by any chance the sleeping arrangements change. Members’ secrets: Jinyoung’s right arm is amazing. For various reasons. Ability you’d like to steal from the members: Jinyoung’s positive mind, Sandeul’s socialibity, Baro’s variety skill and Gongchan’s beautiful voice. Ability you’d like to borrow from God: The ability to visit the past, the ability to visit the future and the ability to read minds. Phrase you’d like to engrave on your tombstone: I left (the world) with no regrets. To the fans: I hope we can be together forever. Jinyoung Your charms: B1A4′s daddy leader. If I had to appeal with my looks, it’ll be my long torn fox eyes. If I had to name something that the members would appreciate, it would be my caring nature. If I would live as someone else for a week, I wish to be So Jiseop in the movie “오직 그대만” (Only You). I dream to have a love as fated as in the movie. The source of your inspirations: I cried reading the book “사랑 고마워요 고마워요” (Love, thank you, thank you). Reading books unfolds all kinds of imagination. Thanks to them, I learnt about relationships through words. My role model is will.i.am. His songwriting skills, ability to sing, stage presence, leadership, and the carefreeness that comes with his exper ease. Members’ secrets: The absurb gags that come from Channie sometimes, CNU’s excessive carefreeness, and Sandeul who cannot sit cross-legged. Type of girl who will move your heart: A girl with a bob who would help an old grandmother hold onto her heavy things on the subway. I’m looking for that person. Lullaby you wish to hear from your girlfriend? MYMP ‘Say You Love Me’, Supreme Team’s ‘Darling’ and Navi’s ‘I Love You’. Lullaby you wish to sing? I want to perform Beast’s “안을까말까” (Should I Hug Or Not) with an acoustic guitar and sing it to her. The song is really nice. Members’ pyjamas: Leader sleeps in a sleeveless shirt, Sandeul in his pink three quarts, Baro in his Monsters Inc. shorts, CNU in his underwear. To the members: Thank you for doing so well up until now, and let’s continue to become an amazing group as united as we are right now (and I’ll say I love you, with a heart too) To the fans: I have nothing I wish for, other than to eat well and stay healthy. But I hope you all stay by our sides. And don’t cheat! Sandeul Your charms: I bring energy to this world, the owner of this fatal attraction, main vocal Sandeul. If I would live as someone else for a week, I wish to live as Jim Carrey in the movie “Mask”. I’ve always wanted to wear that mask ever since I was young. As soon as I wake up, I replenish my body with water since it’s the start of a day. Before I sleep, I end the day with water too. Lullaby you wish to hear from your girlfriend? I think I’ll fall asleep slowly to the childhood rhyme of “A Sailor Went To Sea”. Type of girl who will move your heart: A person who does their best at their work. A girl who can hold onto me and move my heart. Amongst the members, what are you number one at? My lips are fuller and sexier than any of them. When do the members look sexy? When Channie comes out of the shower and he calls for me. I will never forget the appearance of him ruffling his hair dry while looking at me. A recent worry: I always think about what sort of pretty actions should I do to receive praise from the other members. It’s a worry that I have for myself. Members’ secrets: Jinyoung hyung and Baro are just as tall as I am!!! No one knows that. Goal in 2012: To do everything to my best effort so that I regret nothing. To work hard at exercising. And also to receive the love of noonas. Me in 15 years’ time I’ll be dressed from top to bottom in a furry training suit, with two puppies on a morning jog. I’ll then meet the members to compose songs in the afternoon. To Baro: Please stop nagging. I’ll do better. To the fans: We’re eating and sleeping well, and healthy. So now, there’s nothing to worry about right? Baro Your charms: I’m the only blood type B man in B1A4. It is a little embarrassing to say it myself, but I have quite a lot of charms. The scene in the dormitory in the morning: I’ll be the first to wake up and as I’m drying my hair after washing it, Channie will enter the toilet. CNU hyung will then really slowly get down from his bed, and Sandeul will open the door of the refrigerator. Jinyoung hyung is still asleep. Lullaby you wish to hear from your girlfriend? Hyeryeong’s “반지 하나” (One Ring). I have ever heard this song as a lullaby before in the past, it melts my heart. Type of girl who will move your heart: A girl wearing a white shirt and denim pants immersed in her work. The appearance of a girl drinking after sweating out from exercising moves my heart. If I would live as someone else for a week, I want to be the character David Rice from the movie Jumper. It’ll be interesting to visit the universe by teleportation. Moments when you think that you look sexy: When I’m engrossed in work. I have ever once heard someone say so before. Hehe. What does your blonde hair represent? A ghost who kills time. Coming back with blonde hair makes me feel welcome, like a long lost friend. Blonde hair is my friend. I want to run around the tracks with it. What does your low voice represent? One of my weapons for a reversal. If I had to introduce a member to my younger sister, it’ll be Sandeul. I started to think differently from the past. When he’s sulky, he is easy to appease. He’ll always keep her happy. Members’ secrets: Shh. The fact that there are no secrets to Baro is a secret. To Sandeul: Wash the cups after you’ve drank water from them! Because there are 3 cups in the sinks there aren’t enough (for the other members to use). To the fans: It’ll be good if everyone stayed healthy. Gongchan Your charms: I am part of B1A4′s vocal line, chic maknae Gongchan. I have the unknown power of aegyo. Phrase that makes you happy: When someone calls out for me with “Chansik-ah~”, I feel that there is no distance between us, and it makes me feel closer to the person. Nickname that is unforgettable: Neup-dol. [T/N: Or swamp-dol. 늪/Neup is Korean for swamp, and swamps are known that it is hard to get out once you’ve fallen into it.] You will not be able to get out once you’ve fallen. I’d like to confess that it is actually us who came up with this nickname. If I would live as someone else for a week, I want to live as Hansel from “Hansel and Gretel”. I would eat the gingerbread house for a week. B1A4′s worst bloody battle? I swear I speak the truth, but we have never fought before. We talk a lot, and comfort each other. The reason for our biggest argument was over the dinner menu. Members’ body parts that you want: Sandeul’s cheek fats. I’m looking for the recently missing cutie bouncy cheek fats of Sandeul hyung. Members’ secrets: When we need to clean (the dormitory), the hyungs disappear one by one. So I always end up doing it alone. Members’ sleeping habits: Jinyoung hyung does ballet when he’s asleep. CNU talks to himself, and it’s scary. If you sleep with Sandeul hyung, he’ll hug you to sleep. Baro hyung snores. Hyungs, I’m sorry. Lullaby you wish to sing to your girlfriend? A song with sweet lyrics, such as Alex’s “사랑하오” (I Love You). I want to love her. Source: beautifulday.kr Translation Credits: skipfire @ FLIGHTB1A4.com |
