B.A.P Interview : “In music, we feel that it isn’t possible to please everyone”



Just like when girl idols who target uncle fans as a representative of male hearts, it it very important male idols can grasp/steal the hearts of females.

Rookie idol male group can only chose a either a mushy and sweet love song concept for their debut track or a tough and powerful concept song that can’t be seen around the area to grasp the hearts of female fans.

However the risks for both styles follow. On one side, sweet love songs have the danger of the level of masculinity hitting rock bottom, on the latter, a tough concept might have too much power so people wouldn’t majorly grasp the meaning.

Rookie group B.A.P are not held back by these situations and chose the road of the tough concept. Their debut track “Warrior” doesn’t allow even 0.01% of the cuteness of other boybands and is perfectly shaped into a masculine song.

From the intro starting with Bang Yongguk’s rapping, this song is consistently powerful from the beginning to end. The chorus incorporates crump dance, used to warn others, and leaves a deep impression.
“When we first received the song, I really liked it. Since I feel that men should be masculine I felt that ‘Warrior’ was a song that matched us perfectly.” (Yongguk)

“The whole feeling of the song makes our performance onstage really powerful. It was so powerful that at our first practice, my stamina started burning out.” (Youngjae)

However, B.A.P isn’t only at a level where people should judge by only their debut track. In their debut single, the song ‘Unbreakable’ and ‘Secret Love’ (feat. Song Jieun) show their musical competency which they worked hard on.

“In our debut single album many of our thoughts and opinions are inside. Configurations on our performance and concerns over the song are written in effort to show our artistic side.” 

When B.A.P were asked if they had any concerned feelings on going on the direction of popular trends for fans, they responded, ”In music, we feel that it isn’t possible to please everyone” and “rather than going down a preplanned road, we want to go down our individual roads for us” and were very mature and non-rookie-like when revealing their deep musical feelings.

During the interview, they revealed many of their musical related greeds. If B.A.P were to venture and try other domains, they replied that they wanted to study producing, radio DJ, music show mc, and duets.

Also B.A.P lastly stated, “Inside the music industry, we want to be the group who are changing directions and starting trends”, together.

Amidst the emphasis on girl groups and the scrambling of all the male idols in the same age group, they have risen onto their prepared stage. From here, if a group has incomplete preparation, those male groups would not want to face head to head against BAP.
As a result of meeting these 6 boys their amount of skill, preparation, and passion are real 100% ‘Warrior Legends.’ I bet even the bare bones are not defeat-able.
