B1A4 Baro’s filmography is interesting. Starting from drama cable tvN’s entertainment legend ‘Reply 1994’ to the SBS’ ‘God’s Gift—14 Days’ that had opened a new leaf out of its’ genre, which were works that had captured viewer’s interest and expectation, in those two works Baro was entrusted with characters who stood out against the others. In ‘Reply’ Baro was acting as Bing Geurae, a silent medical student who came from Chungbuk who has fresh and innocent charm, while in ‘God’s Gift’ he was Kim Younggyu who has a 6 years old mentality while he was in his late-teens, a character that might make actors with a lot of experience face difficulties while acting. Now Baro who had done those works is not afraid of the next ‘challenge’ he would get and from the ‘growth’ that was shown clearly, one could see that it was most probably because of his positive way of thinking. We have compiled a never before shown behind story through an interview with Baro. [First meeting with child actress Kim Yubin] At first I didn’t know that Yubin was that child who showed up in a bank commercial. I remember thinking ‘that girl is cute’ when watching the commercial and to Yubin I acted like how I would to a child her age. Though acting cute to Yubin is so awkward. (smile) I said to her ‘Hi, have you eaten?’ while fitting to her eye level, she replied thoroughly. Then there was once when (Lee) Boyoung noona asked her ‘Do you know who this oppa is?’ and Yubin said that she didn’t know. Boyoung noona asked again ‘You don’t know B1A4?’ and Yubin was ‘Ah~ my friends in class like B1A4. But I’m not interested’ and my heart sank in front of her. (She didn’t ask to take a picture with idol oppa?) On the contrary, it was when people in the neighborhood asked ‘Yubin-ah, can we take a picture?’ first that we take pictures together. Yubin is on the mature-side and she acts all adult-like. (She doesn’t joke around?) She doesn’t like that kind of thing. (smile) [After God’s Gift is finished] After it was finished I got some time. Of course the first thing that ran through my head was doing particular plans or my hobbies that I didn’t thought I wouldn’t have the time to do while doing the drama. Because I like soccer, I pushed on doing it on the line along with music activities. For acting, I also think that rather than studying as a somewhat-new actor on set, I also have to practice the basic constantly, [Going back to 14 days before] If it’s 14 days before I want to go back before the Sewol ferry incident and stop it. I saw that a lot of people wrote in their comments that it would be good if we can go back 14 days just like in ‘God’s Gift—14 days’ and I also think the same way. I’m not the kind of person who would dwell on the past. I’m the kind that would enjoy each day. [Timeslip just once] I want to go back to 2002 World Cup. That time I was in 4th grade of elementary school so I couldn’t enjoy World Cup. All I can do was watching those soccer matches through TV with my friends. It was the first World Cup in my life and it happened in our country so it was an unforgettable moment, so I often think ‘Why did the World Cup was done when I was still a child?’ or ‘If only 2002 World Cup is this year’. It’s really pitiful because it seemed like I would scream so loud my throat would hurt and be so happy until I couldn’t sleep. If I can turn back the time I want to go back to 2002. [Prepared Acting-dol B1A4] While doing the last half of ‘God’s Gift’ I could feel Younggyu comfortably and my members were also supporting me, saying ‘Seems like you’re getting comfortable? Go suffer a bit more’. Because I had read the script early, I didn’t act according to the script devotedly, I’m on the side that would observe carefully on how I have to act, and since the members love the drama I feel really thankful for them because they watched it excitedly and also talked about it between themselves. Recently we watched ‘Tumbleweed’ (directed by Lee Deokhee, 2013) and ‘Classic’ (directed by Gwan Jaeyong, 2003) together and re-watched the movies we have watched before; we memorized the scenes then reenacted them by ourselves, we had fun doing that. The works that we do the most are ‘Nameless Gangster’ (directed by Yoon Jongbin, 2011) and ‘New World’ (directed by Park Hunjeong, 2012). Rather than because we want to act, we play amidst ourselves while unfolding the situation. [Third acting challenge] Because I want to get a lot of experience, I want to do everything if I am given the chance. I want to show my true personality through my next work but I still haven’t found that kind of piece yet. ‘Reply’s Bing Geurae and ‘God’s Gift’s Younggyu were the characters I portrayed but this time I want to show myself as I am through school drama, romantic comedy or comedy piece. [B1A4 plan for 2014] We want to do music activities without rest. I don’t know the exact time but maybe about May 10th we will do a reality program while going on a K-POP performance. On June there is Brazil World Cup so I think B1A4 will do activities after? (Shall we expect a change in B1A4 in term of music?) It’s good if you do. Personally I really like this song we’re doing. We have thought about the album concept and the lyrics are made according to that, the song is in the work and the album feel is good, fresh even. Other than that is secret! [Target as an actor] the ultimate target is to be an actor with personality. My role model is Yang Donggeun-senior. I actually thought about what would Yang Donggeun do if he is to play Younggyu and Bing Geurae. Rather than being an actor who questions about whether they can do it good or not, I want to be an actor who can capture the character and portray it through my own feel. It’s a bit weird saying ‘actor’. I want to be a Baro that is like that. Source: The star / Translated by Kei (@812addiction) for AVIATEB1A4. / Do not remove credit when reposting.
