Q. How do you feel about coming to Taiwan again? Did anything change?
Jinyoung: This is our first time in a year to Taiwan, so I'm quite happy. The fans have waited for a long time so we're very excited too. So when we found out when we were coming to Taiwan we were really happy. The moment we got off the plane there were so many people welcoming so so I felt really good! And the atmosphere at yesterday's concert was really high so we're still reeling from happiness from that. I hope we can come to Taiwan often to meet everyone (laugh).

Q. Were there any interesting things that happened at the concert yesterday?
(Upon hearing this question, the members smiled even wider.)
CNU: There are so many... (with a very serious face, as if he was back in the concert yesterday)
Jinyoung: Oh~ When we were singing the last song of the night, the fans held up banners that said “let's be together forever”. At first I didn't realize what the fans were holding up because it was a very upbeat song, and only belatedly realized what was on the banner. It left a lasting memory, especially to see the Taiwan fans holding up banners printed in Korean. I was quite amazed, and it was very meaningful.

Q. You sang a few songs from your new album yesterday too. Can you talk about your latest album?
Jinyoung: SOLO DAY is made solely from songs that were created by the members so it really shows off the individual musical color of the B1A4 members. The songs are of different genres, and is nice to listen to in summer. I hope everyone listens to our music!

Q. The members show up as different characters in the music video for SOLO DAY. At the end, a UFO appears as well. When you were filming the music video, were there any memorable episodes or memories?
Baro: Did we have any? (looks at Gongchan)
Gongchan: There were lots! For the music video, I had the image of a flower vagabond. In one of the scenes filmed at the beach, the local people looked at me and walked away after handing me $2. (the members burst out laughing~)
CNU: As for a lasting memory~ Because the music video was filmed in America, the weather was great. Afternoons were very toasty and the filming went well. But it becomes really cold at night. As we had lots of filming at the beach, the sea breeze kept blowing. It was like experiencing both summer and winter in the span of a day. So it was very memorable.

Q. An alien appears at the last part of the music video. Do you guys believe that aliens exist?
Baro: I believe they exist. In this unbelievably wide universe, Earth already has so many people living on it. Maybe there is another planet in this universe that has existence similar to those on Earth. I personally believe that aliens exist, but I don't believe there are ghosts.
CNU: I think the same way as Baro. Other than humans on Earth, I think there are other forms of life on other planets. And like Baro, I don't believe that there are ghosts.
Sandeul: Like Baro, I definitely believe in the existence of aliens. But~ I also believe in ghosts.
Jinyoung: So I guess you'll be able to see ghosts. People who say they believe in ghosts tend to be able to see them after they say so! (Jinyoung is teasing Sandeul on purpose)
Sandeul: I believe that aliens existence. This universe has Earth. I have heard the rumour that in another dimension, there is a planet that is like Earth.
Gongchan: That's a fact! (laugh)
Sandeul: Really? So you've seen it before?
Gongchan: I've seen photos and reports.
Sandeul: I only believed it after seeing it in the news. In the report, it says that on another planet there is an exact replica of me. If we are on Earth, then somewhere else there is also another Earth...
Jinyoung: Actually I believe in that too! After all it's such a wide universe, the concept that only Earth exists is too confined.

Q. Since all of you believe in aliens, have you ever suspected one of the members being an alien?
(Upon hearing the questions, all of them turn to look at Gongchan...)
CNU: Yes yes (laugh), our maknae Gongchan is one! But rather than him being an alien, it is more accurate to say that he has some kind of special power. I ever suspected that he has some kind of superpower. And his eyesight is really good.
Gongchan: The hyungs all feel that I'm like an alien, but I'm not too sure about that myself. I'm just someone who goes with my gut feel, but~ is that odd too?

Q. A lot of B1A4's music has been released in Taiwan as well. Can you recommend to the Taiwan BANAs different songs that fit different occasions?
Baro: On rainy days, I want to recommend 잘돼가. It is suitable to listen on rainy days, and when you're watching the sunset. When you're feeling a little depressed, this song can help to soothe your feelings out.
CNU: I want to recommend a song that is good for when you're a little nervous, or surprised. And that is 이게무슨일이야, haha. This song is very appropriate when you listen when you're frightened or feeling ridiculous at something. (The members then all make a surprised expression, while saying 이게무슨일이야! They are so in tune with each other, it's so cute.)
Jinyoung: I want to recommend a song to listen to when you're lonely - Lonely. Just as the song title suggests, listening to the song might make you feel more lonely but it also means that we are sharing that feeling of loneliness by singing to that same song.
Sandeul: It'll be nice to listen to Beautiful Target on someone's birthday. This song is very suitable for the mood of a birthday party, celebrating with your friends over a cake. The moment you play Beautiful Target, your mood will improve and the atmosphere of the birthday party will improe.
Gongchan: Our fans are mostly working or studying, so they need to spend long periods of time concentrating on something. When they get tired, it will be the time to listen to 물한잔, and release all that stress.

Q. It's been more than 3 years since your debut. What is the most touching and unforgettable thing, or something you find amazing up until now?
Jinyoung: There are so many. For me it should be when I saw the images on the LED background at our debut stage. It was my dream to be a singer ever since I was young, and it was so surreal to have been able to stand on stage, sing and appear on television. It was really memorable for me.
Baro: When we got our first ever first place with 이게무슨일이야, I cried alongside the fans. That was the most unforgettable moment for me. And when we released our full length studio album WHO AM I, all of the songs in the album entered the music charts. We were all so amazed at that moment. We would have been really happy even if only our title song entered the charts, but it was so unexpected that all the songs entered it. We are really thankful to the fans and those who listened to our songs.

Q. B1A4 has had very good rapport with your fans. Other than your representative animals, have you ever thought of what animals are representative of BANAs?
Baro: I feel like BANAs are like peacocks. When peacocks spread their feathers, they are all in different colors. Our BANAs have a lot of different charms - the beautiful, the cute... They are pretty even when they cry. They're also quite interesting, active and have their own colors they shine in. So BANAs are like peacocks. (CNU nods his head in agreement.)
Jinyoung: I feel they are like frogs. I'm not sure why too, but maybe it's because of its color. Whenever I think about BANAs, grass green comes to my mind naturally. So I unconsciously think about frogs since they are cute and active.
Sandeul: They are like ducklings. Ducklings follow their mother around in a line behind her. Seeing BANAs makes me want to protect their feelings, so they remind me of ducklings. (This time Gongchan laughs and nods his head.)

Q. In your previous TRENDY interview, B1A4 shared your respective roles in the dormitory. 3 years down the road, have those roles changed?
Jinyoung: Even though everyone has a responsibility they are in charge of, we tend to decide everything now with rock paper scissors. That way it is the most fair. (laugh)

Q. We are more than halfway through 2014. What are some of the things B1A4 wish to fulfill before the year ends?
Jinyoung: Be it with the members, or by myself, I hope we can go on a holiday before the year ends. To be able to accumulate experiences, and make some special memories.
Baro: I also want to be able to go on a holiday. Either I go alone, or we make time together to go – I just wish for an enjoyable holiday.
CNU: I'm almost the same with them. Maybe it's because we always say “let's go, let's go on a holiday together”, so our thoughts are almost similar. Be it a domestic holiday, or even a holiday in Taiwan. Touring different countries is our dream.
Sandeul: The things we want to accomplish are all the same, we really want to go on a holiday. I think even Gongchan will think so too, right? (tapping Gongchan, who sits next to him)
Gongchan: Of course, going on a holiday will be nice~ But there's only a few months left and we also have our world tour. I actually hope to have more opportunities to meet the fans, or have different shows.
Sandeul: We will try to fulfill this dream! Our own road trip!

Q: All the members of B1A4 have a representative animal; Jinyoung is a fox, CNU a bear, Sandeul a duck, Baro a squirrel and Gongchan a puppy. The fans thought that these animals resembled the members, and eventually they become the representative animal of each member. Do you think your personality or appearance matches well with your animal?

Baro: I'm actually not too sure what is the personality of a squirrel like? Every squirrel's personality should be different right? But I'm agile like a squirrel - I can run quite quickly so I guess that's how we're similar. But the biggest similarity would probably be appearance-wise~ My front tooth are really similar. The nickname of a squirrel has also been with me since elementary school so I probably look like one even at first glance.

Jinyoung: As for me~ (Using two fingers he pulls on the end of his eyes) It's obvious I look like a fox. Everyone probably feels that way beecause the corner of my eyes slant upwards, I used to hear people say I'm like an arctic fox but now that the weather is improving, I'm a desert fox. (laugh) Personality-wise... I'm pretty similar to the desert fox in that we can endure hardships pretty well!

Sandeul: A duck... is basically very innocent! Ducks eat worms from the soil, they're hard-working and down-to-earth, so I guess that's similar to my personality. (Editor's note: Sandeul's explanation got him beaten up by the other members, who said that Sandeul's actually noisy like a duck.)

CNU: Based on my appearance, I'm honestly not too sure if I look like a real bear, but... I think I look more like Winnie the Pooh and I have a similar personality too! (Editor's note: He let out a cute Winnie the Pooh smile after saying this.)

Gongchan: Um... Other than a puppy, I have a lot of other nicknames like camel [T/N: This is what it actually says but I have a feeling it's a mistranslation on the magazine's side..] and Krong. So I'm a little troubled, like how I look a little like all of them yet I don't really look like them, keke. (Editor's note: Even though Gongchan says so, TRENDY feels like Gongchan's innocent gaze is really similar to a puppy's and it's really cute! How does everyone feel?)

Q: Are there any sports that you are good at? Who is the best at sports in the group?

Jinyoung: I played volleyball since I was young, so the sport I used to be most confident in was volleyball but it became fencing. I trained for a very short period of time before I went on Idol Sports Championships so I was very worried but luckily I won first. I gained interest in the sport when training, and felt that fencing was very suited for me. [T/N: I actually asked around and no one has ever heard that Jinyoung has played volleyball before so there's this tiny possibility that it's a mistranslation on the magazine's side as well? Please take with a pinch of saltㅠㅠ]

CNU: I like to play basketball. Maybe because I have a lot of friends who like to play basketball, I tend to play it often.

Sandeul: So long it's something I can ride, I like it. For example, snowboarding, riding a bicycle or rollerblading.

Baro: Soccer! It's probably because I played soccer ever since I was young so it's a sport I like and have most confidence it. Playing soccer improves one's (speed of) movements, so I think I can run faster too. (laugh)

Gongchan: Rather than a sport I'm confident in, I quite like swimming. It started as a hobby, but after learning for a while I realized it was suitable for me and I ever entered swimming competitions!

(Editor's note: As for who is the best at sports... The B1A4 members were discussing heatedly without giving way to each other. As everyone knows, Baro's speed is amazing but the other members have been exercising hard every day so their speed is improving gradually. Hence Baro is starting to feel threatened...)

Q: How would you confess to someone you like, in a sweet way? (Editor's note: It was really near 14 March at time of interview so we asked this question.)

Jinyoung: This is a sweet I made myself, is it delicious? In this life, I will only make sweets for you, so please stay by my side~ Got it?

CNU: On this day, I will only say this once. I love you.

Sandeul: I love you... I will give you a love sweeter than sweets. (laugh)

Baro: I'm not a person who expresses myself well through words so while eating I will naturally ask her, "Do you know I love you?" Keke.

Gongchan: I've really liked it since before... Will you go out with me?

Jinyoung

Q: When you are troubled, which member would you go to to talk about it? Why?

Jinyoung: Since I'm the leader, I will gather all the members to discuss (the issue). We usually decide after sorting all of the ideas. Actually, we often gather and talk so we all know about the other members' troubles or ideas.

Q: It has been a little more than 200 days since your debut. What are you not used to, after being a public figure?

Jinyoung: Occasionally, I do not dare to believe that I'm already a singer. After finishing a day of schedule, I will think of what I did over the period of the day in the car on the way back to the dormitory. It still feels like a miracle, my heart will beat really quickly. I am really happy, and thankful that I am able to fulfil my dreams while being loved by so many fans.

Q: If you are married and have children in future, which member do you wish he/she resemble (in terms of character)? Why?

Jinyoung: Gongchan. He is the maknae in the group. Not only does he have a lot of aegyo, he also takes very good care of the hyungs. He's really playful in the dormitory. Don't just look at his child-like side, he actually also has a reliable side to himself. And he's really good-looking!

CNU

Q: When you are troubled, which member would you go to to talk about it? Why?

CNU: I tend to tell them to Jinyoung, since he is closer to me in terms of age and we communicate better. Hence there is a tendency to rely on each other.

Q: It has been a little more than 200 days since your debut. What are you not used to, after being a public figure?

CNU: Even now, I still wear slippers and pyjamas downstairs, or to the supermarket in front of our dormitory to buy something (laugh). I realize that if I am not wearing my stage clothes, there are still many people who do not recognize me. Now if I'm on the streets and someone recognizes me, I'll be very happy

Q: If you are married and have children in future, which member do you wish he/she resemble (in terms of character)? Why?

CNU: I want a child like Jinyoung. He is very talented and hardworking, and always thinks positively. I have never heard of anyone disliking him!

Sandeul

Q: When you are troubled, which member would you go to to talk about it? Why?

Sandeul: I will often look for Baro to chat. Since we're of the same age, our thoughts are more similar. Usually I just have to say one sentence, he would know what I want to say next.

Q: It has been a little more than 200 days since your debut. What are you not used to, after being a public figure?

Sandeul: Not long ago, the members all went to a family-run restaurant to have dinner. Immediately, students shouted, "It's B1A4!" and after we had dinner, they even waited outside the restuarant for us, and requested for us to shake their hands and take a picture together. That feeling was nice.

Q: If you are married and have children in future, which member do you wish he/she resemble (in terms of character)? Why?

Sandeul: I want a child like CNU hyung, because his face is small, shoulders are broad, legs are long. His looks are envy-worthy. Also, after getting to know CNU hyung, they will find out that he dotes on his younger brothers. So if I can have a child like CNU hyung, it'll be awesome! Even if I don't have a child like him, I will still hope that he/her body proportions would be 1:9 (laugh).

[T/N: 1:9 refers to a person's body ratio; 1 being his head, and the length of the rest of the body is equals to 9 heads.]

Baro

Q: When you are troubled, which member would you go to to talk about it? Why?

Baro: In the past, I would have kept it all to myself, so I often get scolded by the members. They used to say, "If you have a problem, say it so everyone knows. You'll never know, maybe we'll find a better solution." They even scolded me and said that I was like a fool and worrying about things myself. Actually, I chose to worry about things myself because I did not want to become a burden to the other members. But after what they said, now whenever I have problems I would discuss it with the members. It's more comfortable on my heart.

Q: It has been a little more than 200 days since your debut. What are you not used to, after being a public figure?

Baro: My parents have been quite happy ever since I became a singer, so I am also very happy. The people around my parents have, because of that, started to contact them more, so I also work hard in order to make them proud. This is also a way of filial piety.

Q: If you are married and have children in future, which member do you wish he/she resemble (in terms of character)? Why?

Baro: I want a child like Sandeul, someone innocent. He's passionate about the things he does, and is very ambitious in his work. Sandeul is very naive and laughs easily, but when he sings, he's very serious. I find this side to him very cool!

Gongchan

Q: When you are troubled, which member would you go to to talk about it? Why?

Gongchan: I'm the maknae, so whenever I'm troubled, the hyungs always look after me. Whenever I make a mistake or am troubled, the hyungs will give me a lot of suggestions, especially Jinyoung hyung and CNU hyung. They are like my dad and mum, always leading me. They're very reliable hyungs, and I'm really thankful.

Q: It has been a little more than 200 days since your debut. What are you not used to, after being a public figure?

Gongchan: Only when we held a fansign, then I realized, "We actually have so many people supporting us~". After seeing all the cheering the fans did for us, it motivated me to work even harder. I remember when I saw all the fans who came just to see us at the fansign, I trembled that I couldn't say a single thing. There were also fans who looked very calm but their fans were shaking too. Just to see us, the fans went through so much. This made me very touched!

Q: If you are married and have children in future, which member do you wish he/she resemble (in terms of character)? Why?

Gongchan: I want a child like Baro hyung, because he is very clever and no matter where he goes he is able to show off his activeness and become a source of energy to everyone.

110 questions to satisfy your curiosity!

In the beginning of June, B1A4 had their first interaction with Taiwanese media. Since their debut on 23rd April till now, it has been less than 3 months’ time but they faced the media with a sense of professionalism and friendless, leaving the editor with a strong impression. It is not surprising that they have seen to be the best rookie group currently. Since debut, B1A4 has not had any overseas promotions yet, but their debut mini-album 'Let’s Fly' has been spreading all over the internet, allowing fans all over Asian to know and like them. Taiwan too has a lot of their fans, to their surprise!

Other than Baro who is a B Blood type, the rest of the B1A4 members (Jinyoung, CNU, Sandeul and Gongchan) are A Blood type, thus, they were named as B1A4. Before debut, B1A4 released a comic strip with characters that fits each member’s personality in reality. The five charming boys in the romantic comic caught the hearts of many female fans and that passion heightened when B1A4 came out live! B1A4 now shares more about themselves to the readers of Fans magazine in this special interview!

Shining Smile, CNU

With a broad shoulders and lengthy limbs with shoulder-length hair tied up, CNU is similar to the

handsome senior from the sports club in comic books. Despite his stiff-looking exterior, he is actually

someone who is really sensitive and emotional! Whenever he flashes his killer smile, many fans

would be charmed by him!

1. What kind of person are you?

I am someone who can be depended on, who would work hard to show everyone what I can do. I hope how I am on stage would allow everyone to feel my sincerity and my kindness and honesty when I am off stage.

2. What were you before you became a singer?

Before debuting as a singer, I had performed with my friend at different stages. No matter what kind of stage there is, I am willing to stand on stage and perform for everyone.

3. A song that encouraged you to be a singer, and had a lot of impact on you?

Usher’s “U Got It Bad”. I grew to like Usher more when I heard this song for the first time. After watching his performance, I was even more determined to become a singer like him!

4. A person you respect a lot?

Usher. In terms of singing and dancing, he is a multi-talented artist. His stage presence is amazing and he even interacts with his fans! I wish that I can be like him, being able to enjoy being on stage and interacting with my fans.

5. What about you do you think is most charming?

Smile. Many fans often tell me that my smile looks good. On the other hand, I think that my broad shoulders and smooth legs is my charm as well! (laugh) It might be due to my training in sports and Taekwondo since young that I have a good-looking figure.

6. Something that makes you frustrated?

I often feel that my eyes are really dry from wearing contact lenses, so I blink more than usual.

7. What advertisement do you think you’re suited for?

If there are any CF that are willing to allow me to take part in, I would feel really appreciative. However, if there is any CF that I am interested in taking, it should be a CF on coffee. Because I love to drink coffee, coffee could help in portraying my charms. (laugh)

8. A color that suits you best?

Though I do not have a favorite color, but when I am shopping for clothes, I would often buy clothes that are black in color. Therefore, my wardrobe are mostly filled with clothing that are black so subconsciously, I ended up thinking that the color really fits me.

9. Your ideal type?

Someone who is motherly-like, who could understand me. An intelligent and sensible girl.

10. The saddest and happiest things you’ve encountered?

I do not have any memories that are sad but for the happiest moment, it would be during the performance for our debut stage as that was the moment I fulfilled my dream as a singer. The joy in being able to stand on stage cannot be explained through words.

11. Something you’ve found interesting or made you happy recently?

Observing how B1A4 fared during performance, then finding out the problem. We then practice in order to improve.

12. Something you need to carry about in your bag?

Tablet PC, MP3, headset, contact lens.

13. If you didn’t become a singer, what would you be doing now?

I do not know! I had always dream to become a singer since young so I had never thought of being in any other occupations. However, because I have always been training in Taekwondo, I would probably be advancing in the path of Taekwondo. On the other hand, I also love to eat samgyupsal so I might even open a barbecue restaurant!

14. What are your first impressions of the other members?

When I first saw maknae Gongchan, I thought he looked a little blank but after living with him, he is actually a very simple, cute and lively person.

15. The most humorous and fashionable member?

In terms of fashion sense, everyone is almost the same. Each member is able to bring out their own personalities through their dressing. The most humorous member would be Baro, he could even become a comedian (laugh)!

16. The member most suited to cross-dress?

It should be maknae Gongchan. His eyes are really big and his nose is sharp, he will look beautiful dressing up as a girl (laugh)!

17. In terms of popularity, looks and talent, where do you think you stand in B1A4?

This is embarrassing to say but actually in the group, there isn’t any ranking because everyone is working hard and does it well therefore, everyone is the first.

18. There has been many collaborations between artistes these days. If there is a chance, who would you like to collaborate with?

If I could collaborate with Baro, it should be really interesting. Though I would like to collaborate with the other members as well but because I rap too therefore, it would be interesting if I could rap together with Baro.

19. Since debut till now, what is the most memorable thing that happened?

It would be during the MV filming a few days back where Baro had challenged his first acting scene which is hugging the female lead. Since he did not know what to do, the situation back then was really interesting. His personality is really shy, if I was the one filming then, I could probably do it well! (Editor: CNU~ are you hinting your manager to give you such privileges next time?)

20. If you could swop bodies like in drama ‘Secret Garden’, what would you like to become?

I would like to become other members in B1A4 because everyone lives differently. I am curious of what they had been through and the hard work that they had put in before, and I would like to experience it myself.

21. If you had the chance to meet your Taiwanese fans, what would you like to do with them?

I would talk to the fans in Taiwan more, listen to everyone’s voice and share our stories with everyone.

22. What would you like to say to the fans of Taiwan?

Thank you very much for supporting us, B1A4 will work even harder to become the best idol group!

Strong Leader, Jinyoung

I had always loved to play with machines, so if I hadn’t become a singer, I would most likely become an engineer.

The most humorous member is Baro, and as for the most fashionable member… I do not know, so pass! (laugh)

I wish to collaborate with famous music producers, to change the music that Baro and I have composed into a different musical style.

19. Since debut till now, what is the most memorable thing that happened?

During our debut performance rehearsal, maknae Gongchan had tripped over. To us as rookies, it was something serious - I guess he was too nervous (laugh). Even though it was a pity, we still finished our first recording.

20. If you could swop bodies like in drama ‘Secret Garden’, what would you like to become?

I would want to be “WILL I AM” from Black Eyed Peas because he is a musician I respect most.

21. If you had the chance to meet your Taiwanese fans, what would you like to do with them?

I wish that we could hold a fan-meet session and play games and eat together with the fans! (laugh)

22. What would you like to say to the fans of Taiwan?

We, B1A4, will continue to work hard so everyone please continue to support us! (laugh)

Sunshine Boy, Sandeul

Speaking with a cute accent, Sandeul is a person filled with a strong sense of purpose and emotions. He does not hesitate to show his passion towards the things that he likes.

1. What kind of person are you?

I am a simple and passionate person.

2. What were you before you became a singer?

My pre-debut pictures have been circulating around the internet ever since I debut. Though everyone had seen how I am before but those are the beautiful memories that I do not regret embracing!

9. Your ideal type?

The type of girl that would give her very best in everything that she does.

The most depressing moment would be when my father had to undergo operation due to bad health. The happiest moment would be upon receiving B1A4’s first album and debuting as a member of B1A4.

Losing weight!

The most humorous member would be Baro while the most fashionable members would be Jinyoung hyung and CNU hyung as they dress themselves up really well.

Currently I have not thought of collaborating with anyone yet. I feel that allowing everyone to get to know B1A4 better is the most important.

19. Since debut till now, what is the most memorable thing that happened?

Before debut, I had been the chubby type so I need to lost weight. Every week I had to check my weight. On the days before I check my weight, I would run harder, do more push-ups and even exercising alone through the night! (laugh)

20. If you could swop bodies like in drama ‘Secret Garden’, what would you like to become?

Gongchan. It is because I think that he is the most handsome person in the group so I would like to know how someone who is so handsome lives his life.

21. If you had the chance to meet your Taiwanese fans, what would you like to do with them?

Hold an event in Seoul’s famous 63 City with them! (Editor: Sandeul must have been a loyal fan of “We Got Married” right? HAHA!)

22. What would you like to say to the fans of Taiwan?

I love you all! If there is an oppptunity, I would definitely go over to see all of you~ Wait for me!

Hiphop boy, Baro

In charge of creating the atmosphere in the group, Baro and Sandeul who are born in the same year are pretty good friends. If Sandeul were to be the group’s peace-maker, then Baro would be the group’s mood-maker. Baro wishes to hold a large-scale concert and enjoy it with the fans. Filled with loads of absurd ideas, the moment Baro stands on stage, he changes into a skillful rapper. That is where his charms lie.

1. What kind of person are you?

I am someone with a vivacious personality who likes new and interesting things.

2. What were you before you became a singer?

Before debut, I was just a normal teenager who likes to listen to music and hiphop.

3. A song that encouraged you to be a singer, and had a lot of impact on you?

All music are really great but Lil Wayne’s “Got Money” had left me with a deep impression.

4. A person you respect a lot?

It would be Lil Wayne. Despite being small in built, he could fully present a strong and powerful rap. This is something that I would like to learn from him.

5. What about you do you think is most charming?

My two front teeth, round eyes and my vivacious personality.

6. Something that makes you frustrated?

At times that I am not wearing caps, I feel less confident.

7. What advertisement do you think you’re suited for?

CF about caps! Because I often wear caps, therefore, I could portray the feeling of wearing caps easily! (laugh)

8. A color that suits you best?

My skin color is fairly dark, so I do not wear earthly colors. Usually when I shop for clothes, I would pick those in black.

9. Your ideal type?

A girl who understands me well.

10. The saddest and happiest things you’ve encountered?

The most depressing moment would be when my grandparents passed away. The happiest moment would be after finishing the very first recording and upon returning to the holding area with my heart filled with emotions, feeling that everyone’s hard work and effort had been worthwhile.

11. Something you’ve found interesting or made you happy recently?

It would be watching Lil Wayne’s videos and biography.

12. Something you need to carry about in your bag?

Contact lens, laptop.

13. If you didn’t become a singer, what would you be doing now?

Since I have been playing soccer for a long time, I might have become a soccer player if I didn’t debut as a singer. (laugh)

14. What are your first impressions of the other members?

Everyone was nice and their personality was good but maknae Gongchan was really different. At first, he portrayed a chic image in front of everyone yet after knowing him better, he starts to do aegyo, and is nice to all of us. (laugh)

15. The most humorous and fashionable member?

The most humorous member would be Sandeul while the most fashionable members would be Jinyoung hyung and CNU hyung.

16. The member most suited to cross-dress?

Gongchan and Jinyoung hyung, as both their facial shape are prettiest! (laughs)

17. In terms of popularity, looks and talent, where do you think you stand in B1A4?

I would rate myself the fourth! (Editor: Everyone seems to be really humble…)

18. There has been many collaborations between artistes these days. If there is a chance, who would you like to collaborate with?

It should be Sandeul. Since both of us are friends (of the same age) so I feel that we could work well together.

19. Since debut till now, what is the most memorable thing that happened?

After recording our debut performance and returning to the holding room, we found out that B1A4 was ranking third in Twitter’s worldwide trending! When we saw this result, to us who have just debuted, it was really meaningful. We were really happy about it and really thankful to everyone who had supported us.

20. If you could swop bodies like in drama ‘Secret Garden’, what would you like to become?

I would like to become the Korea’s internationally famous soccer player Park Jisung. I would like to experience like how he does, running and playing soccer on the wide grass field!

21. If you had the chance to meet your Taiwanese fans, what would you like to do with them?

Go shopping together! (Editor: Nice interaction! It would be fans frantically shopping and B1A4 helping out with carrying the shopping bags right?)

22. What would you like to say to the fans of Taiwan?

To the fans in Taiwan, hello everyone! (laughs) We are a new rookie group but being able to receive everyone’s support, we are really appreciative. Though we had not gone to Taiwan before, but I believe we will in future so please do wait for us! Hope that everyone had a fun time with us through the interview. Till the time when we officially meet, please do continue supporting B1A4. Thank you and love you all!

Charismatic maknae, Gongchan

There isn’t much more you need to say about Gongchan. If you take a look at the interviews of the first 4 members, you should already know a fair bit about him! Even though Gongchan looks very manly on the outside, but he is actually a very sentimental boy who is very loved and naturally cute!

1. What kind of person are you?

I’m someone who in the face of anything, will challenge it.

2. What were you before you became a singer?

Before debut, I was an active youth who had an extreme love for sports.

3. A song that encouraged you to be a singer, and had a lot of impact on you?

G.O.D’s ‘To My Mother’. This song was one that I listened to frequently when I was young, and the content of the lyrics are very touching.

4. A person you respect a lot?

Ip Ching. I was very touched to see him standing on the stage again.

5. What about you do you think is most charming?

I am the maknae with manliness and aegyo, but I am a little lost at time; and for appearance-wise, my most charming points are my eyes and my bread-like butt (laugh).

6. Something that makes you frustrated?

If I go somewhere with many people, I will be so nervous that I get stomachaches.

7. What advertisement do you think you’re suited for?

Coffee. I always imagine, what would it be like if I got to film for a coffee CF.

8. A color that suits you best?

White. Because my skin color is a little dark, wearing a white-colored shirt would make me seem brighter.

9. Your ideal type?

All of the points of the girls what the 4 hyungs spoke about! (Writer: The maknae has so many criteria for his ideal type!)

10. The saddest and happiest things you’ve encountered?

Occasionally when I think about things related to death, I get sad. The happiest time was when I received my first copy of B1A4’s album.

11. Something you’ve found interesting or made you happy recently?

Practicing my personal talent!

12. Something you need to carry about in your bag?

Sweets! Looks like I’m still a kid… (laugh).

13. If you didn’t become a singer, what would you be doing now?

I would be working hard to take my entrance exams!

Jinyoung hyung is the very dependable father, Shinwoo hyung is the benevolent mother. Sandeul hyung is like a friend, and Baro hyung is the hyung who makes everyone laugh.

15. The most humorous and fashionable member?

Baro hyung is the funniest member; for fashion sense, almost everyone is the same.

16. The member most suited to cross-dress?

Myself, and I’ve had the experience of cross-dressing…

17. In terms of popularity, looks and talent, where do you think you stand in B1A4?

Second. Because it’ll be too burdensome if I said I was first.

18. There has been many collaborations between artistes these days. If there is a chance, who would you like to collaborate with?

I’d like to do a ballad song with Sandeul hyung.

19. Since debut till now, what is the most memorable thing that happened?

Last year on 13 August after practice, I whined about wanting to go home to watch an interesting show. When I got back to the dorm and opened the door, I saw fried chicken, pizza, cake and a pile of presents. I was so surprised I cried. Because my birthday falls on 14 August, I never dreamt that the hyungs would prepare a birthday party for me a day in advance. I want to take the chance to thank the hyungs I love the most again (laugh).

20. If you could swop bodies like in drama ‘Secret Garden’, what would you like to become?

I want to become a lyricist. It must be great to be able to communicate with others with lyrics I wrote myself.

21. If you had the chance to meet your Taiwanese fans, what would you like to do with them?

I want to organize a huge concert and have fun with everyone.

22. What would you like to say to the fans of Taiwan?

Even though we are just rookies, to have received so much love and support, we are extremely thankful. We'll definitely work hard in future!

Jinyoung: Please be happy.

Baro: The weather today is so good.

Sandeul: I really really want to meet you.

Gongchan: Live each day to its fullest.

Shinwoo: I want to meet the Taiwanese fans.
