120622 B1A4: BARO AND HIS TEAR-FILLED EXAM LUNCHBOX (PART TWO)

◆ Don't make Baro cry

Baro: When the members wrote me a letter around the time I took my entrace exams, I nearly cried.

Sandeul: Wow really?

Baro: That's how important letters are. I don't write letters for nothing.

Sandeul: I got it. I'll write one with a brush and give it to you.

Baro: I nearly cried when the hyungs packed me a lunchbox. But an exam is an exam. Sandeul hadn't changed his address yet so he took his entrance exams in Busan. I was totally envious that he was going to get a lunchbox packed by his parents. I was really lonely. I didn't study so it was obvious I wasn't going to do well. I didn't think that the hyungs would pack food for me, but when I woke up the lunchbox was there. In that moment I was totally not envious of Sandeul, and my shoulders were filled with strength (laughs).

Jinyoung, CNU: (Fatherly smiles)

Baro: I was going to take the subway, but our manager hyung said he would fetch me there. I had already made plans to meet a friend at the subway station so I said I would just go myself. Halfway through the exams during lunch, I opened up the lunchbox to find a heart shape made of beans. It was tuna fried rice, with various side dishes. It hadn't been long since I transferred schools so I didn't have many friends and I ate lunch alone.

Sandeul: Aigo, our squirrel!

Baro: But I had a lunchbox filled with love so I was not lonely at all.

Sandeul: I didn't give much thoughts to the entrance exams. Well I didn't study as well (laughs). I spent lunchtime exploring the school happily. I didn't have many friends either.

Baro: The 4 of us, excluding Jinyoung, took our entrance exams last year, after we debuted. You know how they release a list of idols taking their entrance exams every year. My name wasn't on the list, so I was quite upset. Sandeul, CNU hyung and Channie even did interviews in front of the exam venue, and took photos too.

Jinyoung: Even I did it.

Baro: I felt the loneliness from 2 years ago. I had already debuted so it would have been nice to be recognized, but no one knew. You know how all the boys take their exams together. Even the people who were at the entrance cheering their friends on did not recognize me. I entered the school thinking "it can't be that not even one person here watches music broadcasts right", but none of them watched it.

Sandeul: It was the same for us too!

Gongchan: No one recognized us.

Reporter: That can't be true...

Baro: The fans asked me why didnt I take my entrance exams...

◆B1A4, an animal kingdom?

Reporter: All of you have nicknames right? Do you like them?

Baro: Me! Me!

Reporter: Yes, squirrel please talk.

Baro: Ah... I like my nickname of 'squirrel'. But I hope I get a new nickname. I really had many people call me a squirrel because of my front teeth. Because I like soccer, I had the nickname Cha Du-ri, Cha Dolbak-ee, Cha Dol-ee. But now a year has passed since our debut so I would like a more mature nickname. Rather than cute, I want to be called cool.

Members: Wildcat, Eurasian red squirrel, otter...

Gongchan: Mine's puppy. Puppy.

Jinyoung: We call him a puppy because his eyes are so bright and he resembles a Shih-Tzu too. If he ties up his fringe the resemblance is even more. When we were trainees, he would tie up his fringe and he looked totally like a Shih-tzu.

Gongchan: There's also Krong-chan.

Sandeul: That's why I highly recommended dinosaur. We went to watch Jurassic Park 3D in the movie theatres, without Channie. I remember taking a photo of the dinosaur opening their mouths wide and uploading that on Twitter. Totally the same as when Channie yawns.

Gongchan: Now I want to hear people call me a man.

Sandeul: Dobermann. [T/N: A breed of dog, and wordplay on man.]

Baro: Shepherds. Or an even stronger dog.

Gongchan: Up until now I have heard people call me a puppy, a baby. From now onwards I hope to hear people tell me I've matured, and that I'm a man.

CNU: For me, bear, and noona. It's a nickname I've had since I was in school, because I look like one and act like one. My friend save my contact number in their phones as Shinbear.

Sandeul: When he's lying down he asks us to pull him up. He's like Pooh. You know how bears are slow but when they need to be fast they are really fast. When he's happy or feeling good he's super fast. For example, when we go and eat something delicious?

CNU: I'm satisfied with my nickname of bear. I don't like the nickname noona, but of course it's not bad.

Jinyoung: He's really quite pretty when he pins up his hair though.

CNU: What are you talking about.

Jinyoung: For me, an arctic fox.

Sandeul: I get those 'good-looking young man' vibes from hyung. My nickname is duck! But when I was in middle school, my nickname was Jung-fan - shortened from 'Junghwan is reading fantasy novels'. There was once I was so into reading fantasy novels that I read the entire series in one go. For a long time after, my friends called me Jung-fan. My teacher called me 'mole'. Until middle school I had a huge mole, so my teacher would go, 'Hey, mole!'. It would be nice if I had a unique nickname.

Jinyoung: The nickname duck was given by me. There was once I made him run an errand for me, to buy some Welsh onions. He looked totally like the Pokemon Farfetch'd. [T/N: 파오리 in Korean - literally Welsh onion + duck] Since then I've called him a duck.

Sandeul: I want to have a more unique nickname.

Members: A mallard?

Sandeul: That's just so-so. A natural monument? I want to be a rare animal.

Members: Platypus.

Sandeul: Oh it's grey in color so I like it (laughs).

CNU: Sandeul is really good at swimming. Baro called him a platypus after seeing it.

Sandeul: But the platypus has a huge tummy so I don't like it.
