When we mentioned about BAP member that have low note voice,called as “Gum Idol, and also great in composing songs,I know lot of people will know who is that person…Haha,that’s right Efanz! That is our Bang Yong Guk! Everytime when he’s on the stage,our Yong Guk looks so charismatic and fierce. But, down the stage,he more like a cheerful and friendly kids! Hehe, how cute Yong Guk? Let Efanz decide it yourself, hehe!

[TRANS] MAY 2013 - HALLYU PIER - YONGGUK & ZELO


We’re finally at our last issue! Thank you so much for taking care of us, we are eternally grateful.

Y – Yongguk Z – Zelo

Y: Since this is the last issue, we should put in our all.

Z: Yes!

Y: Zelo do you still remember when we first met?

Z: Of course I do, Yongguk hyung you were with Himchan hyung having a serious conversation in the dance studio, the atmosphere was eerie. (laughs) But no matter what I still had to greet you, and when I did, the only respond I got was “Ah” (laughs) I will never forget about that.

Y: Ah~~ Yes, when B.A.P was formed, all the other people who worked with us previously left not too long after, so we were wondering when Zelo will leave too. (laughs)

Z: To be honest at first I found hyung really frightening and intimidating (laughs) But back then, I still thought that he really was born to be a leader.

Y: Zelo was really young when he joined B.A.P, so I was especially worried about him. After all we do have quite a large age difference, however because he was able to clearly separate his personal and work related matters, and that he had a good sense of judgement, I was a lot more assured. But then again, it’s all because of my careful upbringing!

Z: Yes~ (laughs) I learned a lot from Yongguk hyung. I learned how to interact with others, and I found that rather than learning from books and theories, it is more rewarding to do things hands on and interact with my hyungs to learn more about them. Yongguk hyung sometimes do really crazy things even though he seems like such a calm and collected person. For example, he will just barge out of his room, open the fridge door and mutter something incoherent at us before going back to his room again… which made us all laugh.

Y: Ah~~ these things shouldn’t be brought up (embarrassed) If I was the same age as Zelo, I reckon we would become really close friends.

Z: Rather than being friends, I think it’s more suitable for us to become opponents. Just like now, our relationship will be one where we both try our hardest to reach our goals and in the process, we will be able to help each other grow and improve.

Y: Really~ Zelo, if you had a noona you would introduce her to me right?

Z: Of course~ Even though hyung gives off a cold impression, he is actually really gentle to ladies and he’s also really manly.

Y: Hehehe (shy) These interviews so far have been talking about working along with different partners, but I reckon Jongup wins the title of “not being able to work well with a partner”.

Z: Jongup hyung’s mind is really difficult to grasp. (laughs) Even though we spend so much time with him there are still multiple occasions where none of us understand him. He looks older than his age, it’s confusing.

Y: I really like how Jongup is like that though. People should be showing others their natural selves. He is really exactly the same in real life as he is presented on TV. He doesn’t care about his appearance and has a really pure and innocent heart. He is the one member whom I still haven’t been able to fully understand.

Z: I think I’m the one who knows him best though!

Y: Well that concludes our last interview.

Z: Hallyu Pier is the first Japanese Magazine that we were interviewed for, and I still find it a little hard to believe that we have been able to appear on so many issues! The filming and the interviewing had all been really fun!

Y: I hope that through these interviews, our fans are able to understand us more. Idols are not only celebrities, but they are also role models that children look up to. B.A.P will see that as our goal and we will try our best to fulfill that.

Z: I agree~ And we hope that everyone will be able to shine in their areas of expertise at least one in their lifetimes.

Y: Thank you for everyone who supported us in the past year. We are really grateful and really happy that we are gaining more and more fans. I would like to thank you all once again. It’s a shame that this is finally coming to an end, we look forward to working with Hallyu Pier again in the future, please anticipate!

[TRANS] April 2013 - Hallyu Pier - Yongguk & Zelo

[TRANS] April 2013 - Hallyu Pier - Yongguk & Zelo

Z: Zelo B: Bang Yong Guk

The day we’ve all been waiting for in May is confirmed! Finally, the day we get to meet B.A.P in real life is coming. From featuring in the issue from last May, to our 12th issue in next May’s edition for their concert, this month’s issue will feature B.A.P’s maknae Zelo and leader Yongguk.

Holding a concert after visiting for the first time in Japan, BANG&ZELO’s live talk starts now!

Z : Yongguk hyung, it’s finally our turn for the interview.

B : Are fans used to seeing us together as BANG&ZELO since we’ve promoted as a unit even before our debut?

Z : Yeah, and B.A.P released our new song “ONE SHOT” in February too.

B : We produced this song with the hope of carrying its message across to the audience. We are allowed many opportunities and chances in our lives, but we also tend to miss most of them – whether because of personal reasons or reasons out of our control… That’s why to these people, chances are not something they can acquire easily, and instead, it is something that is only able to be obtained with passion. That is the message we wanted to carry across in the song.

Z : As oppose to our previous track “STOP IT” with the cute concept, we’re back to the masculine and manly style in this song.

B : For the soundtrack, the element of HIPHOP is even stronger than before. Even though “WARRIOR” and “POWER” are both charismatic and manly songs, this one is evidently different. Our music style is like that – we gradually change bit by bit. But we also focused on changing our image this time too. I feel slightly regretful that the change in our image is receiving much more compliments and notice than the change in our music style.

Z : B.A.P has been able to challenge many different things in terms of producing music.

B : We even tried the cute style, the dancing old school style, rocker, masculine etc… We’ve tried many different concepts, but in the process of producing music, a really important aspect is being able to attract the general audience.

Z : B.A.P has been producing music that is unique to us. Being able to hold a concert in Japan is proof that we have been receiving many positive feedbacks and comments from the public.

B : Yes, compared to our own opinions on our own music, I believe that the audience’s view and feedbacks are more important. I think that aside from improving in our music in “ONE SHOT”, we also tried to improve in performing the song. Zelo’s rapping parts along with his dancing is amazing.

Z : The part where my back faced the camera? I thought of it all by myself. Because this time we had the most time before our comeback, I took the time to think of a way to make myself stand out more on stage. Also, since my rapping style is different to Yongguk hyung’s, I thought I should make our parts contrast with each other more; therefore I came up with the part.

B : Our MV also got upgraded! We went to the Philippines to film it. Zelo met some girls there!

Z : Ah~ Even though we filmed on a cruise, there were a lot of noonas in bikinis (laughs). A noona who was from Brazil asked me where I was from, but since I’ve never been in situations like that before, I wasn’t able to continue the conversation. I was really shy and quite confused.

B : Everyone expressed their envy after watching our MV! However I don’t want to film in that environment again (laughs). Even though it looks like we were all relaxed, filming was actually very awkward – especially with the language barrier between us, there was a lot of pressure filming with the models. Because we have always worked in an environment with just males, we were all shy and acted really unnatural… our faces were all red. (laughs)

Z : Yeah, we went to film our MV in the Philippines, but we’re finally going to hold a concert in Japan!

B : We’re going to be working with a rock band this time, I’m really happy for us to be able to have this opportunity – to able to include some Rock elements into our music and choreography. How did you feel about our first concerts in Seoul, Zelo?

Z : It has always been a dream of mine to perform in our very own concert… but since we’ve been so busy since our debut, I haven’t really had time to feel surprised or shocked. Even so, as the concert date approached, I still got really excited and when I finally stood on stage, I was thrilled.

B : As opposed to singing to a camera in music shows, I love it when we are able to hold a concert with our fans. I feel like I’m cured from everything after holding the concerts. Zelo, is there anything that left a deep impression?

Z : Everything! It was really fun being able to perform on stage.

B : I think that the members reading out their letters were the most memorable parts of the concert! But I’ll stop here before we go further into this topic… (laughs)

Z : I wrote my letter to my parents… But, um, I cried (embarrassed). I was never a child who could do aegyo easily to his parents… I even felt a little annoyed when my parents said they would attend the concerts. But after living away from home, I’ve missed them. So I tried to write them a letter that I could read out to them seriously on stage. Yongguk hyung chose to flash his abs instead.

B : That’s because it was a promise we had to keep – if we win a rookie award, someone would have to show our fans their body (laughs). Even though it was my first public performance of my new self-composed song, people focused more on my abs instead… what a pity.

Z : Hyung trained really hard for that day!

B : I think abs look better when you have zero body fat, so rather than training, I think dieting is a better way to describe it.

Z : Hehehe, you were very handsome!

B : Even though our members all tried our best to prepare for the concerts, I believe the staff and crew who helped us complete this worked the hardest. From stage designing, background effects and lighting… it was because of all the hard work from the staff that we were able to provide such a perfect stage. It is not enough if only we put in effort, it is only with the amount of time and energy the staff and crew spent that we were able to produce such amazing concerts.

Z : To our Japanese Babyz who have been supporting us, we are finally able to meet in Japan!

B: We’re going to hold our first Japanese concert soon. We’ve always wanted to go to Japan, and our wish is finally going to be fulfilled. See you all in Yokohama!

BAP Fansign fan account (23 March 2013)

BAP Fansign fan account (23 March 2013)

sevenpups:

(BAP fansign 23 march 2013. Fan account)

I luckily got chosen after buying 10 albums because they put your name in a box and pick 150 people at random, anyways..

So I arrived there at around 5.30pm and I stood in a line to collect my number and I was number 48.

Then they let us go inside the hall at 6pm and I waited for an hour and then the staff told us that BAP are running late because of traffic (and coming from Music Core to the fansign place is pretty far).

At around 7.10pm someone picked out from the curtain and it was Jongup! Jongup and Yongguk took turns in walking out then walking back in to tease the fans ; ;

Then the fansign began with Babyz taking photos and Youngjae was like “Are you all reporters? Is this a press conference?” sobs that cutie OTL

I waited for my turn and I was so nervous that by the time it was my turn, I had no idea what to talk to them about. It just disappeared out of my mind.

Yongguk: Hello~

Me: Hello ; ;

Yongguk: -signs then looks up- Juyoung?

Me: -nods- ; ;

Yongguk: -continues to sign- Here you go Juyoung~

Me: -hands him a sticky note that says “I’ve lived in Africa, Malawi my whole life, would you like to visit once? 1: Yes  2: No”-

Yongguk: -Reads then eyes widens- Really??? Africa??

Me: Yes!

Yongguk: -ticks number 1- Where’s Malawi?

Me: Somewhere above South Africa!

Yongguk: Awesome~

Staff: Next

Yongguk+Me: -bows and says bye-

Daehyun: Hello~~

Me: Hello!

Daehyun: -signs- Juyoung? Juyoung? Juyoung?

Me: Mhmm ; A ;

Daehyun: Here you go!

Me: -gives him sticky note saying “Draw Youngjae!”-

Daehyun: -looks at Youngjae then looks at me- Youngjae?

Me: -smiles and nods-

Daehyun: -starts drawing and mumbles to himself- Youngjae… squishy Youngjae…

Youngjae: Huh?

Daehyun: -turns to Youngjae- You’re squishy so I’m drawing you squishy! -turns to me- Here you go~

Me: Thank you!! 

Daehyun+Me: -bows and says bye-

Youngjae: Hello Juyoung~

Me: Hello ; ;

Youngjae -starts signing then looks up at me- How old are you?

Me: The same age as you!

Youngjae: Really? College student? Are we friends?

Me: Yes yes and yes! ; A ; -hands him a sticky note saying global BAP blah blah, please write my friend’s name with a heart-

Youngjae: -looks at the global BAP part and nods approvingly- Thought so =w= -starts writing friend’s name proudly- Here you go~

Me: Thank you ; ; 

Youngjae+Me: -bows and says bye-

Jongup: -bows and smiles- 

Me: Hello~

Jongup: -silently starts signing- Here you go~

Me: -hands him a sticky note asking to guess what pokemon I like-

Jongup: -thinks, looks at me, thinks then writes “Togepi” (is that spelling right? Orz)-

Me: o A o 

Jongup: o u o

Me: -smiles and says bye-

Jongup: -does the same-

Zelo: -waves- ^^

Me: Hi ; w ; 

Zelo: -starts signing then looks up- How old are you?

Me: Try guessing!

Zelo: Um……… -looks at me with huge round eyes- I’m not sure, please tell me~

Me: 20 (Because Korean age)~

Zelo: -eyes widen- Really? You look a lot younger than your age! -quickly puts noona at the end of my name- Here you go Juyoung noona~

Me: Ah, thank you! -smiles and hands him post it similar to Youngjae’s-

Zelo: -writes friend’s name-

Me: Thank you! -says bye-

Zelo: -does the same-

Himchan: o 3 o

Me: hello!

Himchan: -looks at the sticky note saying something like get better, promise me you’ll come back as BAP soon, if you promise, please do aegyo-

Me: o - o

Himchan: -blinks then quickly stamps his sign (because he cant use his arm) then looks up at me- Aegyo? Should I show you aegyo?

Me: -nods- o u o

Himchan: >u< (<- seriously, it really did look like this skhbf)

Me: ; A ;

Staff: You should show him aegyo as well Juyoung-shi~

Me: I can’t do aegyo ; ;

Himchan: -looks at me- o - o

Me: … -does bunny aegyo before running off then coming back on to ask the staff to hand the presents to BAP because I forgot to give it to them and she said she will ; w ; )

And so time passed by with BAP doing aegyo (mostly Himchan XD) and in between Babyz were like “JUNG DAEHYUN!!!” and Daehyun was like “WHAAAAATT!!” it was so cute ; w ;

At the end, everyone kept shouting out the members name.

Youngjae: Everyone who talked informally to me stand up now! And also, did you all come to take pictures of get our signs?

Babyz: BOTH!!

Daehyun: No, he’s just joking, don’t stand up lololol. And it seems like today’s fansign was pretty quiet. I hope you all took nice photos! I’ll be checking up on them!

Youngjae: Have you all heard our album?

BAP: -laughs because Youngjae, what kind of a question is that sobs-

Youngjae: Which song do you like the best?

Babyz: KSHBDFKJSTHBFKSJDHBFKSJBFD

Youngjae: I see ^^

Daehyun: Thank you for coming to our fansign this late at night!

Youngjae: It’s 9.30pm, hurry up and go home!

Zelo: The press conference has ended~

Everyone: -laughs-

Youngjae: We shall end today’s BAP’s fansign, thank you~

Yongguk: We’re B

BAP: A, P YES SIR.Thank you!!!

And that’s it ; w ;  sorry for the long post OTL
