JINYOUNG (interview)Hello? What are you doing? It’s this late, but you’re still not sleeping? I’m going to sleep too Ah, where should we meet tomorrow? I’ll go to your house Is there someone you want to eat? Ah, I found this really tasty shop. Just follow me You’ll really be surprised Don’t come back again after eating here then Did you ever see me lie before? I’m going to sleep once you sleep You hang up first Ah, okay, then when I count 1, 2, 3, we hang up. ㅎㅎ Why didn’t you hang up Okay This time is for real Okay, okay Good night~ -Teaser Serif- Inspiration? I’m not saying that I have this kind of experience, but because I create songs while imagining many things, it’s a story that came out after I thought, ‘What kind of story would come out if it was like this situation?’. (I.M: Is there a possiblity?) Who? (I.M: For Jinyoungie.) I don’t think I would act like this. (I.M: Everyone said that they wouldn’t act like this.) But I really wouldn’t. You can trust me, haha! If there are, what are Jinyoung’s new charms that you want to appeal through ‘Baby Goodnight’? There’s another side to Jinyoung! Since I’m the type to be devoted to the performance, I wanted to express a bad boy in my own style even though I’m not a bad boy. My meaningful smile is the point! Truthfully, it feels more like arrogant and selfish person than a bad boy. If a situation like this came, how do you think you would act? I would go out with my girlfriend. Because this kind of situation hasn’t occurred to me, I don’t know what it would feel like. I think I would have to personally experience it to know it. What’s the role that Jinyoungie plays in the music video’s story? There isn’t really a certain role that I play. I’m just a friend that plays together with CNU. I think I’ll look like a bad guy, haha. Teaser, Big Issue! What’s happening? (Episode) I’m recording myself with the camera and calling, right? So I was calculating the time while thinking, ‘If I say this, the opposite person will probably say this, right?’, and it took around two hours. (I.M: You finished it early? There was even a member that took 5 nights and 6 days?) Ah, that’s true. Channie did take quite a long time. I think I put quite an effort in trying to make it real with the mindset of ‘let’s have a conversation with my girlfriend’. And for the script, I just said whatever I thought of at that moment. I made a lot of NG’s too. That’s why it took 2 hours. If you were to give a grade to the B1A4 member who you think did the best among the teaser videos, how many points would you give? (How many points out of 10 points?) Sandeullie. I would give him 9 points. (I.M: Is there no one who would get 10 points out of 10?) Of course, since there’s nothing perfect in the world. (I.M: Does everyone think that theirs was 10 points?) Of course, but excluding me since I got 10 points out of 10. (Laughter) Even though his was really sappy, I think Sandeullie put on a blunt face and did it well. Just like he was really talking to his girlfriend. What is something Jinyoungie always does before sleeping? I always exercise. (I.M: What about the abs on your stomach?) Ah… I’ll leave a no comment for that. The exercises I do repeatedly are push-ups and crouching then standing up. I don’t specifically use an exercising machine. -- trans. cr; hyejin @ b1a4trans | source cr; b1a4’s fancafe ; take out with FULL credits CNU/SHINWOO (interview)Hello? What? Who said that? Ah, it’s a misunderstanding, shh, the guys will wake up. I’m telling you that it’s a misunderstanding. Soojungie is just a friend Really… Hu… You know that to me, there’s only you I’m telling the truth Why aren’t you sleeping? It’s late, hurry up and sleep Okay I’ll call you tomorrow. Sleep well, good night Chu~ -Teaser Serif- If there are, what are CNU’s new charms that you want to appeal through ‘Baby Goodnight’? We showed a transformation through our first official full-length album, ‘IGNITION’, with the story of a break-up. It’s also another break-up story this time, but it’s cute and sexy and you can also find a strange charm from a slightly bad boy feel. The main character in the music video’s story is CNU. How did you get picked as the main character? Rather than how I became picked, I think it was just because it was my time… Should I call it turns? Something like, ‘Since this person did it last time, CNU, you do it this time’? (I.M: Then for ‘I Need a Fairy (sitcom)’, did you do it because it was your time?) Although I don’t know the exact reason, (take aback) erm… since it’s something the company chose. Maybe I matched it quite well? CNU isn’t the same type of guy as the main character in the music video, right? No, never. If I’m in that situation, well, I probably would dream about leaving too. So I understand his position, however, I would play with my friends, not cheat. (I.M: That’s the worst thing. Playing them like a puppet.) Hahaha! But I’m not like that. Teaser, Big Issue! What’s happening? (Episode) I take the camera and go into the room by myself. This situation is really funny by itself. And since it’s embarrassing if other people saw, I don’t let anyone else come in. When we come back from practice, it’s in the middle of the night, but it needs to be a bit dark for the mood to be set and all. However, there are times when we come home and it’s already bright outside. After closing all the windows and turning off the lights, I turned on one small light and after pulling over the covers, all preparations would be set. I’m starting the self-camera. There isn’t any one to give me my lines, and I need to create my own story while talking. Although it’s awkward, I filmed it while thinking, ‘How will the song’s main character prepare in order to reassure his girlfriend and then go out?’. Afterwards, my fingers were all curling up. I thought I was going to die from my fingers and toes curling, but it’s great that the fans really liked it a lot. If you were to give a grade to the B1A4 member who you think did the best among the teaser videos, how many points would you give? (How many points out of 10 points?) Personally, I think everyone did well. (I.M: Do you think that you did the best?) Nope, Channie! Although you probably can tell if you watched the clip, there’s this thing that he gives off that makes you melt. There’s also a twist to it as well; he shows a variety of charms. I think Channie did the best. 8 points out of 10? (I.M: It’s a bit stingier than I thought it would be?) Ah, because I’m not the type to give good grades, if it’s an 8, then it’s good! What is something CNU always does before sleeping? I think a lot. I also write often in a journal, but there are times when I skip it due to being busy. With the mindset of organizing the day’s events while laying down before sleeping, I have my own self-reflection(?) time with thoughts like, ‘I did this like this and like that today’. Hahaha! -- trans. cr; hyejin @ b1a4trans | source cr; b1a4’s fancafe ; take out with FULL credits SANDEUL (interview)Hello? ㅎㅎ Did you wake up? Hyoo, ah… I didn’t know you were sleeping… Ah, sorry.. Want me to sing you a lullaby? Uhm, wait just a moment… Sleep well, my baby~ In the front yard and the back hill… Huh? I can’t remember the lullaby… But you’ll still be able to sleep now, right? Are you sleepy now? Alright, sleep well~ Dream of me~ Good night~ -Teaser Serif- If there are, what are Sandeul’s new charms that you want to appeal through ‘Baby Goodnight’? A mischievous boy’s feel rather than a bad boy? Someone who escapes by himself because the girlfriend won’t let him go anywhere when he says that he’s going to go somewhere. He has a private life with other people as well, so I don’t think it’s right to ask him to just play with you. And I think if you’re always together, there may be uncomfortable points. But is it like that? (Sandeul, who is showing a confused look even after he was so sure of his answer.) What’s the role that Sandeulie plays in the music video’s story? A rich family’s son. Rather than it being a role, I just started acting like this and somehow it become like it. I improvised my character. Hahaha! (I.M: Baro said that the concept is like ‘CNU hyung and the best men’.) No no, not at all. It’s a largely impacting supporting role that comes out more than the man role. CNU hyung is worriedly playing around while thinking of his girlfriend and our friends and I play without having to be aware of anything. If you want to go out and play, you need someone with a lot of money like the role I played of a rich family’s son. I would be the one paying. Haha! Teaser, Big Issue! What’s happening? (Episode) I filmed it thinking that I could do it really well, but it took two days. No matter how many times I did it, I just couldn’t do it in one try! After thinking that it was really impossible, I wrote down a script and thought out the timing between when I talked and then when the girl talked. Although I did it with the script in front of me, I wasn’t able to succeed on the first day. That’s why I filmed it as soon as I woke up on the second day. When I woke up and was still drowsy, I thought, ‘Ah, I need to do it’, so I did it and succeeded. In my opinion, I think I came out quite nicely. (Laughter) If you were to give a grade to the B1A4 member who you think did the best among the teaser videos, how many points would you give? (How many points out of 10 points?) Excluding me? Could I just add me too… Haha, I’m just kidding. (Timid) I think Baro’s touch of reality was quite amazing. While saying ‘the other members are all sleeping’, he doesn’t raise his voice’s tone and says it like he’s whispering it, and that really felt like something you would do at home. After seeing that, I was admiring it by saying, ‘Wow, you really did well!’. Although his score would be lower than mine, I’ll give him a 7. Since he did a bit worse than mine, hahaha! (Proudly) What is something Sandeulie always does before sleeping? I always drink water before sleeping. You need to drink for the moisture to go for a long time, right? Since my throat is the type to dry up often, my throat gets thirsty quickly if I don’t drink a lot of water before sleeping. (I.M: Doesn’t your face swell up if you drink water before sleeping?) If I drink that water, it supplies the moisture in my throat for three hours later. So the reason they say to continuously drink water is that if you don’t, it won’t supply that moisture and later on, the moisture will go all the way up to your throat, so it’s a must! to drink before sleeping. Because I sleep for a long time. -- trans. cr; hyejin @ b1a4trans | source cr; b1a4’s fancafe ; take out with FULL credits BARO (interview)What are you doing? Were you still not sleeping? What are you doing awake? I just finished showering and laid down to sleep Ahoo, the other members are all sleeping I can’t make be loud, need to be quiet I don’t have anything special to do tomorrow Okay, then I’ll call you first tomorrow. See you tomorrow Sleep well and have a good dream Sleep well baby, I’ll see you tomorrow Bye~ -Teaser Serif- If there are, what are Baro’s new charms that you want to appeal through ‘Baby Goodnight’? Our stages up until now have been cheerful and really hectic. Since our mood is up. This time, I want to appeal with a charm that leads parts like picking up and putting down hearts of females with a somewhat calm and comfortable feel. (I.M: Instead of leading them, it smells somewhat like the true scent of casanova?) That’s definitely not it. What’s the role that Baro plays in the music video’s story? CNU hyung is the main character, and I’m his best man. Thus, CNU hyung and the best men. CNU hyung and the kids. I believe that it was a great role to help the main character stand out. Hahaha~ Teaser, Big Issue! What’s happening? (Episode) Truthfully, if you watch my clip, I talk almost as if I were whispering. The reason is that I got a cold and my voice wouldn’t come out. That was as loud as my voice would go. And additionally, the next day was the ‘Dream Concert’, so it was a situation where I couldn’t use my throat at all. While organizing my thoughts about what to do, I decided to go for a concept where I quietly whisper. My throat really hurt at that time, so I worried a lot for the next day’s stage, but thankfully, my voice came back on stage. If you were to give a grade to the B1A4 member who you think did the best among the teaser videos, how many points would you give? (How many points out of 10 points?) I still haven’t seen Channie’s clip, but they said that Channie’s was amazing. I also haven’t watched CNU hyung’s and I saw up to Sandeullie’s video, but… I would pick Jinyoungie hyung. And the score would be 9 points. He says it really comfortably to the point where you would almost reply back. I’m even a male and a member, but I almost responded with, ‘Ah, really? Alright, I’ll sleep’. That’s how much attraction there was. He was really cool. What is something Baro always does before sleeping? There’s something I always do. Brushing my teeth. That’s a joke. Before I sleep, I always… well not always, but it always changes. Since there are days where I fall asleep while using the computer or watching movies, there are things that I always do like showering or taking out my contact lenses, but specific things change ‘each and every time~’. -- trans. cr; hyejin @ b1a4trans | source cr; b1a4’s fancafe ; take out with FULL credits Gognchan (interview)Euuuuung… Ah, hello Ah, who is this? Hm? Eu, eung… Hi.. Ahoo It’s late, what’s up? Huh? I missed you too Since it’s really late, you need to hurry up and sleep and not sleep too late, alright, I’ll see you tomorrow Sleep well, good night~ Hurry up and sleep. Okay, I’m sleeping now Bye bye… Jinyoungie hyung, did you finish wearing your clothes? (Whistling) Oh, what’s this… It wasn’t turned off… (Wears his hat while looking at the screen… Winking while waving his hand ㅎㅎ) -Teaser Serif- If there are, what are Gongchan’s new charms that you want to appeal through ‘Baby Goodnight’? Although my cute and fresh image was more strong up until now, I’m going to show a more masculine and charismatic side to myself than before. When the same situation from the song occurs, will you send your girlfriend to bed then go out, or will you tell her the truth and then go out? I would tell her the truth. If something like that really happens to me, I’m going to reassure my girlfriend by telling her that I’ll return ‘at this time’. (I.M: Tied down by love?) No way, that’s not it. (Laughter) What’s the role that Gongchan plays in the music video’s story? CNU hyung’s friend. (CNU comes in and says, “I’m here, Chan-ah”) I’m in the middle of an interview right now. (I.M: Erm, does Channie not really like CNU? You’re quite cold?) (CNU: Channie? Channie really likes me a lot.) Yes, that’s right. I really like CNU hyung. (I.M: …) Teaser, Big Issue! What’s happening? (Episode) Ah… (Deep sigh) My story is that I stayed up for 5 nights and 6 days in order to film that short 2 minute film. (I.M: Then the other members filmed quickly compared to you?) Maybe it was awkward because I’ve never tried doing a video call, but when I filmed it and showed it, the only word that came back to me was ‘again’. I really think I filmed it hundreds of times. It was really tiring. (I.M: While filming for 5 nights and 6 days, is there something you felt?) Ah, I felt like I was really calling someone on the phone. I was filming with the camera by myself, but thought, ‘Am I in a call with someone else?’… It felt like someone else was on the opposite side. No, actually, you never know if there really was someone. If you were to give a grade to the B1A4 member who you think did the best among the teaser videos, how many points would you give? (How many points out of 10 points?) Sandeullie hyung! And 9 points out of 10 points! If you watch the video, Sandeullie hyung is a singing a lullaby, but he stops in the middle. Sandeullie hyung forgot the lyrics. However, he handled it naturally. While watching that, I felt, ‘Oh, as expected of Sandeullie hyung~ He’s the best!’. What is something Gongchannie always does before sleeping? I always eat snacks and read books a bit. (I.M: If you were to pick a book that left the deepest impression on you recently?) Ah, what was it? It’s in my bag. It’s a book called ‘Wisdom That Speaks’. Everyone try reading it once~ -- trans. cr; hyejin @ b1a4trans | source cr; b1a4’s fancafe ; take out with FULL credits Deviation of B1A4 So Bad BABY GOOD NIGHT We get a peek at the so bad deviance done by the sweet B1A4, who sings us lullabies. If you have never been suspicious of your boyfriend’s affectionate actions, you should probably explore the cute cheating done by these five males. You will melt away at their sweet lullaby. Since experience is something that is good when stacked up, don’t completely melt at that affection, and try being suspicious of them. Shh! Everything happens ‘while you’re sleeping’. Ring ring rong- Click- I clicked the home button. With perfect timing, my cellphone changed into a video call mode and after changing once more, bbyororong~ My boyfriend’s face appeared. “Do you know what time it is, how come you’re not sleeping? Hurry up and sleepㅡ” Their voice sounds like their sincerely worrying, ah… You’re really tricking me. The title song for their first official full-length album, ‘IGNITION’, ‘Baby I’m Sorry’, has the ability to make their ‘sprout-dol’ title, which emits off an aura of rookies, look small. It has a break-up story where they coolly send each other off. ‘Baby I’m Sorry’ showed the potential of B1A4, who took a step closer to maturity, as musicians. The courage and ambition they had to fiercely put the song that their leader, Jinyoung, composed as the title song, was like shyly showing that a sprout grew and became a seedling. Although there were things they gained and lost, the strong and fierce weapon for B1A4 is that they have their own color and have set themselves apart from others. If they captured the hearts of girl fans with their debut song, ‘O.K’, where they freshly came and showed a modern way of expressing their love, and their 2nd mini album’s title song, ‘Beautiful Target’, the answer given one year since their debut by these guys, who have experienced the taste of hurt as they matured, is a ‘farewell’. If the process of meeting and having farewells kept on repeating, what would be the choice of a man who tasted both bitter feelings and sweet feelings? #1 Room: B1A4, who are loud in their room. They touch up their hair while looking in the mirror, and fix each other’s clothes. Then CNU’s phone rings and everyone stops! CNU, who picks up the phone after making everyone be quiet. B1A4, who puts on CNU’s outer jacket while he’s talking on the phone with his girlfriend. CNU, who finished the phone call. They’re all prepared. CNU, who goes outside with B1A4. - “The story is that while talking late at night with his girlfriend, the guy has simple thoughts about wanting a bit more freedom and sends his girlfriend off to sleep first. After putting her at ease by convincing her that he’ll sleep soon, he screams ‘Tonight is dancing tonight!’ with his friends and goes together with another girl. He’s cheating.” This is the explanation of ‘Baby Goodnight’ given by B1A4’s leader, Jinyoung, when I met with them on a day in May at their music video set at Namyang-ju. Is he saying that the step after maturity is being a bad boy? “Rather than the bad boy that everyone thinks of usually, you’ll be able to see many sides starting from his cute thoughts about being hesitant because he might get caught, then him reassuring his girlfriend like it’s nothing, and then even a devilish side to him because he’s excited that he tricked her.” Oho. Now that a warning will come up for boyfriends being sly, girls be careful. No wait, this isn’t it… Just get tricked by them. Because there will be a twist to the end of this story that you wouldn’t have thought of. #10 Distance: The only view of the girlfriend is a close-up of her lips. CNU and his girlfriend are laughing while talking. As soon as his girlfriend hangs up, the camera gradually pulls back. Then you see another man, laughing next to his girlfriend. [T/N: (I.M) is Inkigayo Magazine and most of the questions were conducted with the members individually] About ‘Baby Good Night’ Jinyoung: The song, ‘Baby Goodnight’, can be explained by saying that ‘the bad boy is the main character’. While talking on the phone with his girlfriend, he sends her off to bed first and then the guy goes out with other girls to go to a dancing party. Although you would know if you saw the end of it, there’s a twist waiting for you at the end where the girlfriend is lying and is out with another man too. (Laughter) Though the guy doesn’t know anything and thinks that he tricked her well, the truth is that he’s the one getting tricked. A world that tricks and gets tricked. CNU: Inside the lyrics, where they send the girlfriend off to sleep and secretly go out in the middle of the night, you will be able to see the side of the cute boyfriend who is having an affair. It will probably be hard to find the model student image that we once had before, haha! Baro: Although we showed the side of a slightly more matured male in ‘Baby I’m Sorry’, this is a song where we have now transformed into bad boys. It’s a concept of having an affair. (I.M: Have you had any experiences like this before?) I haven’t even been able to properly go on dates before, what do you mean go on an affair—- Haha. Please look forward to a very fun and cheerful stage where you can feel B1A’s colors in the song and the stage clothes. (I.M: I see… It’s definitely probably fun to have an affair.) Yes, yes… Wait what?? (Taken aback) Sandeul: A story of a slightly bad boy who secretly cheats on his girlfriend! (I.M: That seems like a really bad guy.) Ah, is that so? Ah! Of course, since he’s secretly going out to cheat on his girlfriend, he is a really bad guy. (I.M: Did you happen to have any experiences like this before?) What? Me? Definitely not. (I.M: Then if you happen to go out with someone in the future?) I would never do that. I would only look at one person! (I.M: Please don’t make assumptions, the future is impossible to predict~) Gongchan: It’s a concept where we hurry and send our girlfriend to bed and then cheat on her. (I.M: Do you have to cheat on her? Can’t you go out to just play with your friends?) Although we can just go out to play with our friends, erm… (Hesitant) Hahaha! (I.M: Are you saying that if Gongchannie was in this situation, you would cheat?) No, no! I wouldn’t do that. I’m saying the concept is like that. (I.M: Have you had this kind of experience before?) No, no! Never. (I.M: Then is there a possibility?) Euhahahaha… There will never be. (I.M: Erm, everyone is sure about it. But you don’t know about a person’s life.) No, I will follow it! (Gongchan denied it four times.) Let Me See Your Point Dance! Jinyoung: Many people probably told you that the chorus was our main point move. Ah, they did? Even our pelvis parts? Truthfully, we don’t have many points in our choreography, but… you should look out for our expressions during the ‘Sleep well baby, I’ll see you tomorrow’. (I.M: Someone said that to us already.) There’s no way that someone said this… CNU: Rather than a main point in our choreography, I think many people look at our overall feeling. If I was to pick one out though, we have a pelvis dance during the ‘Whoauhuhuhuhuh’ part where we turn our pelvises. We’re not blatantly appealing sexy sides to us, but there’s a slightly shy feeling to it as well. (I.M: It looked like you turned our pelvises a lot?) Ah… It’s not that we did it a lot, but I looked in the mirror and practiced a lot. Baro: I’ll be considerate to that members and talk about a part that you probably won’t have thought about at all. During the bridge part, there’s a part of ‘Because it’s okay to go to you tomorrow dugudugudugu ddang’ and then after taking a pause, we saying ‘Sorry-‘, but I think that part is the point of the dance. (Sandeul: Ah, you said you were going to be considerate…) Ah, well, I thought that part would come out, so I talked about it first… (Laughter) While watching the stage, you’re in the middle of having your feelings be heightened up, so the moment we say ‘Stop!’, it captures everyone’s attention. The moment we say ‘Stop!’ always changes every time~ Sandeul: The part during the climax where we say ‘Baby good Night~’ and sexily stroke our bodies… (I.M: That was sexy? It seemed very cheerful…) Ah, my feelings about are different, they’re different. (While showing the movements) Like this, I stroke my body like this! (Excited) If you look carefully, you will probably be like ‘oh oh~’?. My S-line is the point. So thus, it’s called the ‘S-line dance’! Gongchan: The other hyungs probably talked about the ‘Sleep well, good night’ part or the pelvis dance part, so I’ll talk about when we say ‘Good night- whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa-’ at the end while turning our arms like this. (I.M: Someone already said that…) Ah, really? (Disappointed) Music Video Point! Jinyoung: We used western times as our background, but we paid a lot of attention to our accessories, fashion, clothes, and props. All the buildings shown in the background have their own names. If you look carefully, you’ll be able to spot out funny things. The staff members told me that I looked a lot of like ‘Woody’ from <Toy Story>. I wore similar clothes to him. And because it’s a retro style, I like it a lot as well. CNU: The mood and expressions that show we are enjoying our feelings when B1A4 leaves. Look carefully with the bad boy image as the key point! (I.M: What if all your fans leave?) I trust in our fans! Sandeul: That the background is western times! (I.M: What do you think of when you think of ‘western times’?) Cowboys, steam locomotives, things like these? Gongchan: During Baro hyung’s rap part, there’s are narration that goes like, ‘Sleep well baby, I’ll see you tomorrow’. The members show different expressions and gestures at that part. I do a yawn. Look carefully! at that part. (I.M: Is it charming?) Ah, it’s really natural. I yawned because I really was tired. (Laughter) ‘Baby Good Night’ Music Video Making Story What is being tired. Although it was a tight schedule for two days, you could still see on B1A4’s faces, the freshness that was the same as a year ago and their will to ‘work hard’. Even though you could see they were struggling to keep themselves in good conditions, I would like to give them a round of applause clap clap clap for their clear artist mindsets! #Music Video Spot 1) ‘Stop it, don’t you feel like you filmed a lot already?’ Baro and CNU, who are opening their slowly shutting eyelids and are trying to fight their tiredness. | 2) ‘Ddiriririri-’ | 3) Shot! Is this is a face picture? | 4) Monitoring is a must! Listen carefully to the director’s words- Be greedy~| 5) ‘Channie, come here-’ Jinyoung hyung-ah’s delicate hands that are taking care of Gongchannie | 6) The polite Gongchan who is preciously holding Baro’s chin up with the cellphone. #Dancing Dancing Dancing in the Moonlight The terminators of looking good in the back, what about their fronts? ….

Which member showed their humble feet? 1) It’s not me. (Sleepy Jinyoung) | 2) Huh? What is it? (CNU, who is in the middle of stretching) | 3) The size… is a bit different, the size… (Baro, who acts in a chic manner and just throws one word) | 4) It’s probably a member who isn’t here? | 5) Ehehehe… Don’t you think it’s Olooh [T/N: The dog’s name, but the scans were blurry at the bottom, so I’m not sure what the dog’s name was] (Gongchan, who was completely immersed in Olooh’s charms that he mixed up a dog’s foot and a human’s foot.)- trans. cr; hyejin @ b1a4trans | source cr; b1a4’s fancafe ; take out with full credits Let me introduce a restaurant named ‘Kin Ton’ that’s located in Shin Okubo \(^o^)/
As you look at the photos, you can see that there’s a photo where there’s a huge autograph done by B1A4 on the shops’s wall. The food there was delicious, the staff were friendly and kind, and the atmosphere was just like that of a Korean family restaurant! Also, it was a wonderful event packed with lots of activities! GW is holding a giveaway of goods and presents with the autographs of 10 different K-Pop idol groups \(^o^)/ Of course, a t-shirt with B1A4’s autographs will be included It seems like they will hold such events periodically ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ Apart from the announced event, the event started suddenly, and the staff were filled excitement! When we went there the day before, the choosing of 2012 Dream Concert posters, and STAFFPASS [used] presents had already begun! I’d hit it \(^o^)/ww Apart from B1A4, a lot of other stars have visited the restaurant, and there’s lots of autographs within the restaurant! Everyone, please visit this restaurant ♡ Here are the photos taken during B1A4’s visit to the restaurant ♡ website: http://gold-ton.com -------- ※Please do not edit the photos. trans cr: tables @ AVIATEB1A4 / source cr: http://gold-ton.com +beautifulday japan’s ameblo B1A4 debuted in April of 2011 and ran all the way here without taking a break while releasing ‘O.K’, ‘Beautiful Target’, ‘Baby I’m Sorry’, and now, ‘Baby Goodnight’ and they are currently still running forwards. How was B1A4’s 1 year? It’s already been over a year since you debuted. Comparing how it was when you first debuted with now, what changed the most? I think our mindset that we had when we debuted differs from the actions we took once we hit our 1st year. We gained a stronger sense of responsibility and become more mature mentally. (Jinyoung) Differing from when we debuted, we try to think more when we deal with people around us. We also try our best to not give them any troubles. Truthfully, it was too much to think about that when we first debuted, but I think we changed like that because we met many people. (Baro) Our parents like it more. I was proud and felt good when I heard that there were people who heard about us and were asking them to get our signatures. (CNU) My grandmother and grandfather boast about me to people in their town. Every time I call them, I feel like crying when they say, ‘Thanks to you, I’m able to have something to boast about’. (Sandeul) You gained a lot of juniors in 1 year. Just around a year ago, you guys were the youngest, so how does it feel to hear yourselves being called seniors? It feels quite strange. When we first debuted, we thought, ‘Would we get juniors too?’, and it feels strange now that they’re here. It’s to the point where we would think ‘Are we seniors?’ when they would write ‘seniors’ as we exchanged CDs. (Jinyoung) When they give us CDs, they write things like ‘B1A4 seniors. Your stages are really amazing’, ‘We will learn a lot from you’. We write things like that and give it to our seniors, so it felt strange to be on the receiving end. (Sandeul) You even participated in ‘Dream Concert’, which is said to be a festival for popular singers. It was the largest stage since your debut, so how did it feel? I really think I won’t be able to forget it. Should I say it was the seniors’ aura? I could totally feel that. I normally don’t get nervous on stage, but my legs and hands were really shaking. I was unaware of my surroundings to the point that I didn’t know how time passed by. And to add on to that, my voice went away the day before, so I couldn’t sing even during rehearsals. I went on stage, believing that superhuman strength would be able to come out, but my voice really came out. I was yelling and singing to the point where I didn’t know my throat was hurting, so my voice completely went away once I came down from the stage. (Baro) I was nervous starting from the day before. There was a large burden of having to do well even right before I went on the stage, and I was really nervous, but after I went up, I just felt happy. But after finishing it and coming down, my tension went away to the point where I lost strength in my legs. (CNU) You did a lot of variety show promotions in the past, but which member has the most personal connections? It’s most likely Baro, who went on a lot variety programs. (Everyone) But the people that I’m really close with are (Jung) Junha hyung, Hyunyoung noona, and (Kim) Nayoung noona, who did ‘God of Cookery Road’ with me, and because I’m not the type to act affectionate, I’m a bit awkward with people who came out as guests. (Baro) But when they talk to him and greet him at music broadcasts, we’re just like, ‘Wow, they even talk to him’, and feel envious. (Sandeul) If you were to pick idols that you want to befriend in the future? It would be Super Junior seniors for me. When we went out on ‘Star King’, Leeteuk senior took good care of us and we met Shindong senior a couple of times on his radio, and he took care of us well also. Kyuhyun senior is also a senior of my school. Although our seniors take care of us well, we still find it a bit difficult, so we find it quite hard to approach them. (Baro) I want to become friendlier with Super Junior seniors as well. I also want to befriend Beast seniors. Although there were many times we met during trainee days, I wasn’t able to say anything and I felt sad about it. (Sandeul) I want to become friends with Beast seniors as well! (Jinyoung) DBSK seniors for me. I want to learn a lot from them by talking about their know-how’s as seniors, thoughts they get when holding a performance, and the stage manners. (Gongchan) Truthfully, I want to befriend Big Bang seniors, DBSK seniors, Super Junior seniors, and Beast seniors, but I have a larger desire to learn from them instead. Since we’re still rookies who have only reached 1 year, it’s difficult for us and we can’t really approach them easily either. It would be really great if we could become friends with these seniors. (CNU) Having unit group promotions inside groups are getting more popular, so if you were to do unit group promotions later on, which member would you like to try it with? I want to try it with CNU hyung. Ever since our trainee days, we practiced rap together, and we worked well with each other and since our styles are different, I think we would be able to fill up each other’s lacking areas. (Baro) I think it would be fun if I did it with Jinyoung. Since our vocal styles are different from each other, I think a new charm would come out. (CNU) Since I haven’t thought about unit groups, I want to try it with everyone. Since everyone has their own color, I think that, ‘If I do it with this member, then this kind of stage will come out’. (Jinyoung) Even if it’s not album promotions, I want to do a performance with Gongchan. There were times when I said to Gongchan, ‘Let’s harmonize with each other and sing a song,’ and practiced. I think it would be fun if I did it with Gongchan. (Sandeul) I want to do it with Sandeul hyung too. Whenever we’re singing, he always helps me on the side, leads me well, and tells me a lot of things, so I think it would be fun if we did it together. (Gongchan) Later on in the future, I think it would be fun to divide ourselves in groups of two and switch off with each other and create our own album. And each group that meets would be different. I think it would be really fun. (Baro) And have the album called, ‘Number of Cases’. (Jinyoung) Hyung needs to make us 10 songs. (Gongchan) trans. cr; hyejin @ b1a4trans | source cr; bnt news ; take out with full credits In 2011, B1A4 was selected as definite super rookies through their eye-catching album sales results and after sweeping various rookie awards. Having debuted for a year, in 2012, they even managed to place first on music charts amidst prominent senior artists, and are currently being boldly recognized in terms of their rising strength in the mainstream market. Although they are receiving the spotlight as ‘New trend-dols’, we met B1A4 who are still simple-minded. Your new song ‘Sleep well, goodnight’ held first place on music charts and is getting a hot response I really liked the song ever since Jinyoungie hyung let me listen to the guide version for the very first time. It was to the point where I said to hyung, “Hyung, I have no idea what you’re thinking about as you live your life”. For some reason, I thought a lot of people would like it, and I feel really happy because a lot really seem to like it. (Sandeul) As we were preparing for this repackage album, we had thoughts like ‘How would it be promoting with this song?’, and looked forward to it a lot. As much as it was anticipated, since there were a lot of people who have been liking it, we just feel all the more happy about it. (CNU) The song is unique in that it’s about going off to dance after putting your girlfriend to sleep. How did this idea come about to Jinyoung who wrote the lyrics? By any chance, from your own experiences? It definitely wasn’t from experience. I wrote the melody and the lyrics for the chorus came out first. Up to ‘baby goodnight, sleep well goodnight. dancing in the moonlight’. So with these lyrics, I tried imagining a variety of different situations. It could’ve just been a song to dance along to and it could’ve also have been slightly thought of to have a deeper meaning. After thinking of it like that, somehow it turned into a situation of going out to dance after putting your girlfriend to sleep. The video call teasers were a hot topic but I think it would’ve been really awkward and difficult to carry out the acting as if you had a partner on the other end. We’re curious of the behind stories There was really a lot of trial and error. At first, we had set a date to film it on but since it really didn’t work out, we had to pick another day to do it on. Even though there wasn’t a partner, we would have to pretend like they would be listening, right. I found it difficult to wait and make reactions to that. (Baro) Jinyoungie hyung went first and said “This is really hard” and since he said that, I replied “What’s so hard about that, it looks like something you can do right away’ and after trying it myself, it didn’t work out. Even after sticking on notes of lines I’d written down, it still didn’t work out. That’s why I said for now ‘Let’s try doing it right after waking up’ and slept. I opened my eyes in the middle of the night and for some reason I felt that I would be able to do it now. So I went into the closet and filmed it there right away, and if you watch the video, you’ll notice that I forgot the lyrics to the lullaby in the middle? That was because I was still in a sleepy state and since I had to act, I couldn’t remember the lyrics so it turned out like that. (Sandeul) I really couldn’t do it so after contemplating, I even made up a scenario. I really think there was a lot of trial and error. (CNU) I started the video filming, but it was really hard. There was nobody there and you had to do it while looking at yourself. And we also had to wait for the other’s response. Still, I finished it in one go. (Jinyoung) I was the member who did the worst. It took me 5 nights and 6 days of staying up to film. After practices, when the hyungs would be washing up, I would be in the room alone filming and I’d be checking the file over and over…. Since I filmed like that for several days straight, the hyungs even thought I was really on the line with someone. (Gongchan) Gongchannie was having a hard time so I was there next to him helping him out. I even played the role of the girlfriend, made comments, and asked to ‘give me a kiss’, placing my cheek next to his and I even pretended to act like I was getting embarrassed…. euah (Baro) From your 1st album title song ‘Baby I’m Sorry’ and the repackage album title song ‘Sleep well, goodnight’ following afterward, they’re all Jinyoung’s songs. He’s also the leader of the team, but we’re also curious of the sides of producer Jung Jinyoung and leader Jung Jinyoung If leader Jung Jinyoung hyung is the type to lead us in a smooth manner, then producer Jung Jinyoung hyung, since he needs to perfect the feelings [of the songs] even more, he gets more serious. Whenever he’s like that, I think he looks really cool from behind. (Gongchan) If as a leader, he has a soft charisma then as a producer he has a smooth way of handling things and there’s also a level-headed side to him as well. If there are times when we can’t get it on point, he makes us do it till we do. He could be locked in being in his own world but his mind is always open. It’s his own song but he knows how to amend to other peoples’ opinions. (CNU) Usually, he leaves stuff around and is good at losing things but when it comes to producing or composing, he gets really precise and sensitive. A tiger? Lion? Should we say he’s like that. (Baro) A devil! I’d analyze the song in my own way and sing it like that but my interpretations are always different. I wouldn’t be able to leave the booth until I get the exact feel [of the song]. So to me, he seems like a devil. Haha (Sandeul) Then how do you record Jinyoung’s parts? There are times hyung would do it himself and there are times where we’d watch over him too. (Baro) When I watch over him, I make sure he doesn’t come out of the booth! Even if there are okay parts, we’d keep them but still tell him to continue recording. (Sandeul) It’s forced, forced (Baro) Sandeul debuted as a musical actor through the musical, ‘Brothers Were Brave’. What are you thoughts on it? I wanted to take part in a musical ever since I was younger, so I was really happy to be given this opportunity and think of it as an honor. If there’s something tiring and difficult about it? Although there’s nothing really tiring about it, my Gyeongsang-do dialect keeps coming out, so… I need to speak in a Seoul dialect, but my own dialect keeps mixing in and coming out. However, the character I play is from Andong, so there are parts where I’m allowed to use a bit of my dialect. Other actors ask me about that part. I’m curious about your goals for this year. If you achieve these goals, what is the thing you want to do most? My goal is to hold a concert. Although I don’t know how I’ll feel once I finish the concert, other seniors say in interviews that they feel very touched and lighthearted. With that feeling, I want to go on a trip with the mindset of starting something new, and have time to think about my future plans and regaining my mindset. (Baro) My goal is to get 1st place on a music broadcast, but if we’re given a break, I want to watch all the movies that I hadn’t been able to watch. I really like watching movies, and my mind feels comfortable after I watch them. It feels like I just lived in that movie and I’m able to feel multiple emotions from that as well. (Jinyoung) I want for people to look back a year and tell us that we improved. If I’m content after hearing those words from many people, I want to gift myself a break. I think it would be good to have my own time while going on a drive, go to my hometown, and visit memorable locations. (CNU) If we all reach our goals of getting 1st place on a music broadcast and holding a concert, I want to climb a mountain. I went alone to mountains often before. And I want to eat tasty food once I come down too! (Sandeul) My goal is to receive the Bonsang during end-of-the-year awards ceremonies. If we are given a break, I want to go down to my hometown and talk about stories that I haven’t been able to share with my family and go on a trip with them as well.
