Talking about your title song “Lonely” from the album you released this past January in Korea, it had a more mature feeling than your old songs. I think that during the three years since your debut, you have all improved in different areas. What do you think you have improved on personally, and what your members have improved on as well? Jinyoung: I don’t know if you’d call it growth, but all of our members, not just me, at some point started to master knowing what they had to do, and figuring out how to go about it. Even if no one know tells us, we all know what to do, or if we have to change what we’re doing, I think we’ve become more active in these types of things. CNU: I think personally I’ve been able to look at things more objectively. I’ve been able to remain cool when making judgments. If I set a goal for myself, I’m not the type to do it halfheartedly. I’m the type to be careful, but I also like to take action. So people ask me if my surroundings become too complex, but because this is the personality I’ve had for the past 20 years, it’s hard to change. Baro: That’s right, CNU hyung has a lot of worries. But I want to learn from him, about that. If I think about it, I’ve also have become more cautious, thinking through things another time before taking actions. Sandeul: If I compare the me now to the me three years ago, things right in front of me, understanding the situation, the actions I took physically to the things I felt and the effort I put into remembering, I would like to believe are improvements. Whether they were big or small improvements, I think I’ve also failed less. And I think Jinyoung’s sense when he composes gets better every single day. I think becuase we have Jinyoung hyung and CNU hyung who have many worries about music, B1A4’s musical colors come across very well. I also think CNU hyung has become manlier - his shoulders are really broad and when I see him dancing in the practice room, he looks really sexy. I’m really jealous.(laugh). Because Baro is the same age as me, we’re able to talk more comfortably with each other, and I think he’s become a lot more thoughtful than three years ago. Baro is really great, in that when ever something happens, he always thinks of the members first. Gongchan is really sensible. No matter what situation he’s in, he does whatever he has to do, and I want to compliment him on that. And lately he has the smell of a real man, so I’m really excited about how he’ll develop from here (laugh). Gongchan: I’ve gotten more confident with my voice, and I’m learning more about it too. In the past I didn’t have any confidence about my personal colors, but the members always stood by me to help me, and were constantly cheering me on. So I was able to do well, in the song I sang with Sandeul hyung ‘Too Much.’ After recording it, we all listened to it together, and the thing that got to me was, “This voice, is my voice.” And although the members are only young men in their 20s, they take responsibility for their actions and support each other, so I always have a strong mentality. Q: As the song title is “Lonely,” which of the members doesn’t like being alone, and which, on the other hand, like being alone? Baro: Before now I liked being alone, but lately I’ve had more individual schedules, so when I’m by myself, I feel really lonely because I want to see the members… When we’re together, we’re strong, and no matter where I go, I always think of the members first. Sandeul: CNU hyung really doesn’t like being alone. He especially likes to hold hands with who ever he’s next to. He says if he holds the other person’s hands, he receives energy (laugh). I like being alone the most (laugh). When I’m walking alone, I think of different things, and I can peacefully sort out my thoughts. CNU: Sandeul must not know me well yet. It’s not that I don’t like being along, but that’s just me being affectionate. I think that I’m the one that likes being alone the most. I get lonely easily, but I am also the type that enjoys being alone. Once every so often, I want to have time by myself, and that’s probably because I like being alone… Jinyoung doesn’t like being alone. When we’re on an overseas schedule, and we’re staying at a hotel, he always says that he won’t use a room by himself and that he has to share a room with someone. Jinyoung: That’s exactly it… The quite atmosphere makes me lonely, so I have to have someone to talk with. If you’re with a lot of people, even if it’s good or bad, a lot of life events happen. I like those types of situations. I like a dynamic life! Gongchan: Jinyoung hyung doesn’t like being alone because fun things happen when you’re together with someone. On the other hand CNU hyung says that watching TV quietly is like healing. Even so there are still times where he needs someone next to him. That’s because sometimes when I’m alone, he just grabs my hand as a sign of affection. He must get lonely sometimes (laugh). Myself, when I’m watching a sad movie, or love story, there are times where I want to watch it in a really dark room and capture the true emotions of the movie. That’s hard when you have several people watching it together. Other than that when nothing is going on, or even if something is going on, I like being together, than being alone. And if you’re bowling, playing games, riding a bicycle or something like that, it’s fun to do it together. Q: Jinyoung, you’ve been composing lyrics and songs since debut, and I’m curious about how you do that. Do you go, “Today I’m going to compose!” or is it spontaneous and you take memos and then record? Jinyoung: I’m not the type to decide, “Today I’m going to compose,” though I do when I really have to focus, but usually before the concept or melody appears, I think of normal, everyday things, and sometimes the melody comes out. Other times like when I’m watching a movie or if I’m talking with someone, I get inspiration from that. When that happens I record it, and then leave the rest to when I’m in the office. Q: Could you tell me if you have an artist you want to collaborate with? Jinyoung: At some point, I want to work with will.i.am. He creates a lot of memorable sounds, so it’s really interesting. Q: When you record it seems like you would shut yourself in, so what is the atmosphere like when you record? Jinyoung: When you record the atmosphere is really important, so I don’t keep myself shut in. I’m the type to take breaks once in a while and make jokes as well, to keep the atmosphere fun. And when I’m directing as well, the members who aren’t recording at the time, help look over the directing as well, so the atmosphere is always good. When we have to focus, we focus, and maintain the tension. Q: On March 19th in Japan, your second album “2” was released. B1A4 gave it the meaning of, “to you, I’m sending it to you,” so if you were to give presents to your members, what would you give them? Sandeul: For Jinyoung hyung an iPhone, CNU hyung a bag, Baro sneakers, and Gongchan a jacket. CNU: For Jinyoung I would give a massage chair, Sandeul a bowling ball, Baro a vacation, and Gongchan an exercise machine. Baro: To Jinyoung hyung nutritional supplements, CNU hyung broccoli, Sandeul a mic cover (so dust doesn’t get into the mic), and for Gongchan a swimming suit. Jinyoung: To CNU the power to react quickly, Baro the power to go take a vacation soon, Sandeul the ability to bowl, and Gongchan memories of love. Gongchan: To Baro hyung I would give him a neck pillow and blanket. So that even when he’s filming dramas, he can comfortably and warmly take a quick break in the car… For Jinyoung hyung, a GPS. Whenever he buys something, he often loses it. So if he sticks a GPS on it, it’d be easy to find, and that’s why I want to give it to him. For CNU hyung, an escalator. He doesn’t like to walk for long, so I want to install escalators where he goes, in order for him to be comfortable.
