MAGAZINE/JAPANESE 2012. 1. 24. 16:32




CNU

Role in B1A4: Vocal and rap. I tend to look after (the members), so I have the role of a mother.

1. A B1A4 song that matches well with Valentines' Day?: Chu Chu Chu. Since it is a day of confessions, I think this song will bring that mood out.

2. A Japanese phrase you remembered recently?: "So as to make many memories with everyone, I will work hard."

3. Type of females you like?: A girl with a wide motherly heart, someone thoughtful.

4. Tell us about B1A4's charm!: The way we're able to enjoy with everyone. We want to breathe and become work with everyone.

5. Something you've been into recently?:  There are many times that I show my arms on stage, so I'm working hard to build good arm muscles.

6. How do the members look like when they're recording?: We often advise each other, like "isn't it better to do this" or "doing it this way is better". During recording, we compromise and discuss our opinions, since our motto is to make good songs.

7. Words you like: Do not rationalize. If you do something wrong and you rationalize, you will not grow (from the mistake). In order not to suffer from the same failure again, it is important to think (about the mistake). [T/N: Rationalize is a direct translation, but it means more of finding excuses for a mistake.]



Jinyoung

Role in B1A4: Leader and vocal. I am hearing recently, that my personality is much like a grandfather's. (laugh)

1. A B1A4 song that matches well with Valentines' Day?: Chu Chu Chu. It's a song as sweet as chocolate, it'll be nice to listen to it as a couple.

2. A Japanese phrase you remembered recently?: "How much is it?"

3. Type of females you like?: My type is a girl who only likes me, and is feminine.

4. Tell us about B1A4's charm!: Our stage is our playground. Isn't it enjoyable watching us?

5. Something you've been into recently?: So as to participate in composing songs, I have been listening and analysing songs by foreign artistes.

6. How do the members look like when they're recording?: Be it during recording or making songs, when it comes to sound, we are tenacious. Especially when it comes to composing a song, we put our heart and soul into directing it into our own style. I want to make music that many people can think that "Oh, this song is nice".

7. Words you like: The boughs that bear most hang lowest. It means 'to become a modest person'. It's a cool phrase, I like a lot. [T/N: It is a reference to modesty and humility being virtues, similar in meaning to 'not blowing your own trumpet'.]



Sandeul

Role in B1A4: Main vocal. I make everyone laugh. (laughs)

1. A B1A4 song that matches well with Valentines' Day?: O.K. Be the Yes Man to a weary girlfriend while singing O.K to her.

2. A Japanese phrase you remembered recently?: "I am the best popular guy in B1A4!"

3. Type of females you like?: I'm attracted to girls who work hard at things they do, and are responsible.

4. Tell us about B1A4's charm!: Because the voices of the members are all different, people watch in fascination.

5. Something you've been into recently?:  I want to show everyone a sweet yet sorrowful singing voice, so I'm practicing hard at singing.

6. How do the members look like when they're recording?: During a situation where someone points out something musically, we talk about it thoroughly. For example, when we are recording a song composed by Jinyoung hyung, we follow his instructions in close detail. That was what happened during the recording of "Bling Girl".

7. Words you like: Don't regret! When I make a decision, I don't want to regret it. No matter what happens, that sentence is always in my heart.



Baro

Role in B1A4: In charge of rap. I am the vitamin and engine in the group.

1. A B1A4 song that matches well with Valentines' Day?: My Love. Even though the lyrics are about looking for love, it's a heartfelt song that matches such a special night.

2. A Japanese phrase you remembered recently?: "Whenever I think of everyone, I sing."

3. Type of females you like?: A person that matches well with me and enjoys talking to me. I like cute girls too.

4. Tell us about B1A4's charm!: One of our charms that we have teamwork like real brothers, and we're able to talk about anything and everything.

5. Something you've been into recently?: Listening to all genres of music, and researching on how I can express myself better through writing raps.

6. How do the members look like when they're recording?: I wrote the lyrics to Beautiful Target with CNU hyung. Like in the lyrics, we expressed the feelings of liking someone with the sound effect of a rocket or a gun. Just like so, we gather our ideas and did the recording.

7. Words you like: "Fun, hot and cool". It's a life that doesn't come twice, so we should live everyday enjoyably. That is why I want to do everything I need to do, to the best of my abilities.



Gongchan

Role in B1A4: Vocal. I want to be the cute maknae. (laughs)

1. A B1A4 song that matches well with Valentines' Day?: Chu Chu Chu. The lyrics are very cute, and if you let the person you like listen to it, he/she would definitely love the confession.

2. A Japanese phrase you remembered recently?: "Was our performance interesting?"

3. Type of females you like?: A girl who usually pretends to be very strong/fierce, but when in front of me has lots of aegyo. A tsundere??? [T/N: Person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing their warm side over time.]

4. Tell us about B1A4's charm!: No matter what it is, we look at it positively and have a "we can do it if we do it" mindset.

5. Something you've been into recently?: I keep hearing that I got thinner, so I have a project ongoing to put on weight.

6. How do the members look like when they're recording?: Usually, I am in charge of being the cute maknae. But when we are in practicing or recording, I make sure that I speak my opinions. It is really important so as to make good songs.

7. Words you like: Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei (from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms) made a decision to become sworn brothers a long time ago. We too, in order for our dreams to become reality, will become one and move forward strongly.




From CNU to Sandeul

Things to change!!!: Eat in moderation! You're the type that will put on weight once you're careless, please do something about weight management... (laughs)

Something you like: He does everything to the best of his ability. Even though he likes to joke around usually, he's different when he works. Though he's younger than me, I want to learn from him!


From Sandeul to Jinyoung

Things to change!!!: You touch my cheek way too much! It's my cheek, but you seem to like it. Please stop it (laughs)

Something you like: I like that he treasures the members a lot. As a leader, he treasures the members a lot♥


From Jinyoung to Baro

Things to change!!!: Show me a little more attention! Maybe because he is of blood type B, he doesn't seem to care... Please show more attention to us (laughs)

Something you like: He's full of life! He's the source of power to the members even during meetings, he's the ideaman.


From Baro to Gongchan

Things to change!!!: Satoori (accent). Even though he would be 100 times more cool than he is right now without his satoori...

Something you like: As a maknae he is really cute, and caring. There are many times that he is cute, but he takes care (of the hyungs) too.


From Gongchan to CNU

Things to change!!!: Don't be tardy (laughs) Please stop being late when we move around. There have been times we are late... (cries)

Something you like: He takes care (of the members) like a mother, unconsciously.




Jinyoung: We will work hard so as to show everyone our handsome appearances.

CNU: Our dream of having our CD on display at a Japanese record store has come true! Please look forward to it!

Baro: Music has no borders. We will work hard to receive love in Japan as well!

Sandeul: Please enjoy our music, and it'll be nice if you are happy when listening to them!

MAGAZINE/CHINESE 2011. 12. 9. 16:26




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.

Sandeul

1: I really like singing. During junior high it was when I came in first during a competition of 'I Am A Singer' with friends who were good at singing too. I'd wanted to get better and stronger, so I joined a national competition. Then, after learning a lot from the singing fest, I felt really happy when I stood on the stage for the first time, I then saw my dream to be a singer forming.

2.When I first got into the dorm. The members had planned to surprise me. I lived in Busan, so I had to take the train up city, but I was welcomed by Jinyoung whom had already arrived. I was really shocked when hyung came from behind the front door. No matter how many times I'll still fall for the pranks that the members love to make.

3: On my debut day. It was my first time on a music program, and there were a lot of our fans in the audience, there were also cardboards which had our names written on it and the voices supported us...... I was really moved. I will never forget about our first stage.

4. The people around me says that I'm 'bubbly and cute'. Jinyoung and Shinwoo too, they said that I was cute and pinched my cheeks. My charm point is, I have the longest legs within all members, and my skin is the nicest.

5. To work hard with B1A4 together in our singing activities, and to try a musical some day.



Baro

1: A kid that always looked forward to activities. I got into the school council within 1 week after returning to school, got into the school fest council, I also got into the comedy circle during High school. I also had a lot of interest in music, I managed to see my dream after trying singing and rapping.

2: During DJ DOC's concert. It was fun yet saddening. During the concert there was a part where the audiences could show their skills, Jinyoung, Shinwoo and I went up. Even though Jinyoung and Shinwoo got the attention, I didn't do anything. But we were happy with hyungs' performance.

3. During our debut stage's rehearsal, Gongchan fell on his butt. When we saw that, we all got nervous. But during the real thing, everyone managed to do well and we had to pretend like we weren't nervous. We really felt thankful to the audiences that supported us.

4. I heard from the members that I'm the group's mood maker. In any way, I like to be interesting and to make people laugh. Also, I think that my rapping voice which is different from how I look is really charming.

5. I hope to do a solo B1A4 concert. When you watch variety shows we can't show our new statures, and to have a open concert with all our fans!! I think it'll be fun.



Jinyoung

1: I've always wanted to be in this industry ever since I was young. I like to sing in front of people, I was the vice-chairman in the student council, I had a personality that was suited in the school council. During school I managed to hone on my acting skills, I also partook in a film for the school. During that period, my picture was uploaded to the site, and I was foun by the company, so I got ino B1A4.

2. When we did a '₩10,000 Happiness'. Even though I spent ₩10,000 on socks for the members, there were the others who bought other stuff like pajamas, cakes, alarm clocks...... there were many different kinds of presents.

3. During our first ever fansigning. There were not only our Korean fans, but fans from Japan, THailand, Taiwang, Poland etc. overseas fans who came to see us, we were really touched.

4. I have a very forward personality. Even when we have a bad situation, as long as I think of 'everything will get better', it really does get better. Also focusing. When I am immersed (focused) in something, I wouldn't be able to hear anything that calls me. My charm pint is, I am a great guy that likes to cook. Someday, I will make a nice Aglio Olio so please come over and play~.

5. I want everyone to hear the songs I've composed. If there's a chance I'd like to try out acting. Also, in order to win this year's best rookie award, we will do our very best, so I hope everyone would love us, and look over us.



Gongchan

1: Having been in the drama club since junior high school, I've been on the stage for countless times. During my first year in high school, I crossdressed and danced to Ivy, getting second in place. My love for the stage slowly grew, when I was in junior high year 3 I participated in Cyworld's 'Ulzzang Challenge Corner' when my friend had uploaded my picture. Afterwhich, I got into the audition and became a member.

2: I was the main lead in the short film my friend filmed. At the last day, we went to Myeong-dong to film at the wild, and because the staff had to carry a lot of things, the hyungs came to help. I was really grateful, so I teared up due to joy.

3: When I went to school, my friends would be there to give me support. My teacher would also encourage me.

4: People are saying 'You seem cool and unfriendly at the first sight, but when we really socialize you seem to have a lot of aegyo.'. People has said that I seemed to be laughing and angry often, but I just like to play tricks and have a bubbly personality. Please don't get mistaken (laughs). My charm is, my aegyo, my dark skin and my hyungs have told me I have a cute butt (laughs).

5: To those who love us, our goal is to make good music and produce a wonderful stage. If given the chance, we'd like to try acting as well.



CNU

1: My whole family likes singing, so I've always wanted to be a singer ever since I was young. My mother is now active as a trot singer, and my sister is also doing Pansori. I'm also a vocal in a band, so I'm getting lots of experience too. Due to the song festivals which I joined with my friends, I was motivated to join B1A4.

2: I tend to oversleep. If I have to arrive at the practice room at 10, I would wake up at 9.50 (laughs)! I would wake the members up in a hurry, dash off to practice without washing up. Since we can't even be late for a minute, we ran. Even thinking of it makes it fun.

3: When there is public airing or anything, my parents would come. After my debut, my parents came to my first live stage, so I was really nervous....... I thought 'that was great' after it ended, and I was really moved after getting praised.

4: I'm more of the meticulous type. The members call me 'Mother' (laughs). My charm is my body proportion and my smile as to what people has sad.

5. I would like to try a solo concert as B1A4. Like in my studying period, I would want to show a full band and session with a strong sexiness and rock stage. We would do our best to let everyone know of B1A4. and I  want to be an amazing person that will not forget about the hardships we've went through.

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

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.

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

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.

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

A girl who understands me well.


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

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.

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.

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.

Practicing my personal talent!


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

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

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

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.

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


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

O.K girl, I’m all yours, yes man! I’ll do everything for you! I love you~

Jinyoung, Shinwoo, Baro, Sandeul and Gongchan have debuted as a 5-membered boy group B1A4 in April 2011 with debut mini-album Let’s Fly’!

Direct lyrics like to become a ‘Yes man’ for the people who like their title song ‘O.K’, and to do everything for them. Electronic sounds with a rock feel in your ears, with fresh smiles and youthful dance performance! Once you hear their song, it will not leave your head!


- Firstly, we’ll start with member introductions.

Jinyoung: I am Jinyoung, born in 1991! I’m studying composing and songwriting now. I like to cook, and I am especially good at aligo olio (peperoncino).

Baro: I am Baro, born in 1992. I am in charge of rap in the group. My speciality is running and beatbox. My hobby is listening to music.

Sandeul: I am Sandeul, born in 1992 and main vocal of the group. My hobby is to watch movies, and I like animations. My speciality is cooking self-created dishes (I make soy sauce rice the same way as vegetable pancake, then spread chilli sauce over it and eat it), swimmng, history, state affairs, korean medieval history.

Shinwoo: I am Shinwoo, in charge of vocal and rap. I am born in 1991. My hobbies are rap-making and listening to music. I am writing rap lyrics now. I learnt taekwondo since I was young, and I like sports.

Gongchan: I am Gongchan, born in 1993. I am in charge of vocals, and I am the group’s maknae. My hobbies are listening to music and reading. I like French novels. My specialities are swimming and mathematics. I was good at studying up until middle school.


- What is B1A4 as a group?

Jinyoung: For the dreams that we dreamt of, we work hard with all our hearts and to our best. A group that even when there are hard times, we gather our strength together and work hard to get through it. Our group name ‘B1A4’ has the meaning of ‘Be The One, All For One’ - to be the best when 5 become 1, and there are also 4 of us with blood type A and 1 of us with blood type B.


- Why did you think of being a singer?

Jinyoung: I had the dreams of being a singer since long ago. After I passed the auditions, as I was attending an acting school since middle school, I was able to play extra roles in dramas. A fan uploaded my photo on the Internet, and I was scouted to be in the group.

Shinwoo: To be a singer, I had to attend university as an Applied Music major. With the thoughts of that, I went to an Applied Music school. As I was attending one of the many song festivals, I got scouted by the current company.

Baro: I loved music from the start, and when I went to watch Tiger JK’s concert, I got the thoughts of wanting to be a singer.


- The music video of debut song ‘O.K’ looks very lively and enjoyable. Please tell us an episode from the filming.

Gongchan: The acting with the rookie female actress in the music video was so awkward that we got scolded by the director.

Shinwoo: I had a scene where I was playing basketball with the female actress. I hit the actress with the basketball (by accident). Sorry…


- Baro did the rap-making. Other than that, has there been recordings or dances done with opinions from the other members?

Gongchan: We have not had the chance to participate in those parts yet, but we are all studying composing and songwriting now, so we’d like to try participating someday. Even though we have a dance instructor, we do give many of our opinions. I really like the cheoreography of debut song ‘O.K’! There is an action in the dance where we shake our hands, and we named it the breeze dance after Sandeul hyung.


- Your favourite song in the mini-album Let’s Fly?

Sandeul: They are all nice, but to choose something other than O.K, it would be Only Learnt The Bad Things. Even though the follow up song after O.K has yet to be decided, I like that song very much.


- It hasn’t been long since debut so you probably do not have a holiday. But if you did, how would you like to spend it?

Sandeul: We spent everyday practicing, there is no holiday… But if we were given a holiday, I’d like to go sight-seeing around Seoul. I want to go on a picnic, and to the amusement park too.

Shinwoo: If I were given a holiday, I’d like to go home.

Gongchan: I want to go to a waterpark!


- Is there a unique way that B1A4 relieves stress?

Jinyoung: When the stress piles up, we play games. For example, speed games, bingo, mafia games or a game of yut. We’d turn on the music and dance. As we play happily with the other members, the stress will be relieved.


- Amongst the members, who is very certain of himself? And on the other hand, who is quite slow?

Shinwoo: Baro is the most certain of himself. He speaks out his thoughts very confidently and to the point.

Jinyoung: On the other hand, Shinwoo is very slow, and drags the most time when he needs to prepare. He speaks slowly, and his actions are slow too (laugh).


- You already have fans in Japan. Are you studying Japan? Is there a phrase you like?

Jinyoung: The members are all studying Japanese! Even though we’re only beginners, a phrase I like is ‘ganbatte’ (similar to ‘fighting’ in Korean).

Shinwoo: Gongchan likes Japanese mangas so I think his pronounciation is good.

Jinyoung: The phrase ‘kawaii’ comes out often in animes.

Gongchan: I like the word ‘karaii’ (spicy). Because I like spicy things (laugh).

Sandeul: I like the phrase ‘sukidesu’ (to like something/someone).

Baro: I like ‘sushi’ (laugh). Conveyor-belt sushi!! I love you~!


- What would you like to do when you come to Japan?

Baro: I want to hold a concert. And I’d like to watch the scramble crossing in Shibuya (laugh). There are really many people.

Sandeul: I want to do something similar with Baro. I want to stand between buildings and feel all of Japan.

Jinyoung: I want to go to Tower Records in Shibuya and buy our CD! I personally want to see our album being sold there.

Sandeul: I want to tour the houses in Japan.

Gongchan: I want to go to a hot-spring.


- Are there any Japanese singers you like?

Shinwoo: I like Anzen Chitai (安全地帯)’s Tamaki Koji (玉置浩二). I like how he can express his feelings and make people listening to the song feel like opening their hearts. I liked him since I was in high school, under the recommendations of my school teacher.

Jinyoung: I’ve liked m-flo since I was in middle school. They have many songs with the color of J-POP, and it was easy to listen to. There are many singers that do featuring for them, so their style is widely varied.

Baro: Though mine is not a singer, I want to meet professional golfer Ishikawa Ryo. My Japanese teacher said that we look alike, so I really want to meet him.

Gongchan: I like YUI from the movie Song to the Sun (タイヨウのうた). I got to know of her when I was over at my friend’s house, he turned the volume especially loud during her song. I watched her movie too, as I was searching for her song.


- What have you fallen into doing recently?

Jinyoung: I have fallen into watching videos of singers, especially into videos of foreign pop songs. I am studying while watching those videos.

Baro: It has also become my hobby to look for videos of foreign singers. There is someone who uploads all the information of American rapper Lil Wayne. I registered there, and I’m always watching it.


- A song you have been listening to a lot to recently?

Baro: Of course it’s ‘O.K’!! It’s our song! I also listen to ‘Only Learnt The Bad Things’ a lot. It is a song you won’t get bored of.

Shinwoo: I like the song ‘Up To You’ by Chris Brown very much so I listen to it often. It is a song I like very much other than our own songs.


- Best 3 of what made you touched recently?

Jinyoung: In first place is when many fans came to our fansign. I was very touched that there were fans who waited from 4am all the way till 7pm for our fansign.

Baro: In second place. When many fans came to our debut stage. Despite the fact that we were only rookies, the seats were all fillled. It was our first debut fansign, and we gained a lot of confidence.

Shinwoo: In third place is when I stood on stage in front of my parents for the first time ever. It was an open broadcast at Kwangju, all the parents of the members came to watch.


- Best 3 of what was interesting recently?

Sandeul: In first place. I am born in Busan, and it is known that people from Busan are very blunt. But on some day, we were taking pictures and unknowingly, I was jumping around on one foot and it became a cute action. I was so embarrassed I nearly died (laugh). I found that interesting…

Gongchan: In second place… There was a fan who came wearing a hanbok (traditional Korean outfit), and suddenly deep-bowed to me, so I did it together with her. It was a young child, but it gave me a lasting memory.

Baro: In third place is a secret camera between the members! That day, Sandeul returned to the dormitory latest so he became the target. Jinyoung acted as if he wasn’t feeling well and fainted. Sandeul was really shocked then, and it was really funny (laugh).


- If you could have a psychic power, what power would you like to have?

Jinyoung: The power to earn lots of money? That way, I can help the many poor people, and there will be no more poor people on Earth.

Baro: I want the power to fly into the skies. I want to go to anywhere I want to. I have many things I want to do, so it will be nice to have the power to make anything I want.

Sandeul: I want to fly. Or the powers to go through walls, teleport or become invisible would be good.

Shinwoo: I want the power to know what a person is thinking. It seems like it’ll be fun~

Gongchan: I want the powers to teleport, or know what a person is thinking. I will go everywhere I want to with the powers of teleportation.


- Your target in the coming year?

Jinyoung: To receive the newcomer award. To become a group that is loved, and hold a concert of our own.

Baro: To get 1st place in music broadcast programs!

Shinwoo: It’ll be nice if many people remembered us.


- Finally, a message to the readers of ‘Crea-Star’.

Jinyoung: In future, we will be working hard, so please give us a lot of love! I love you!
