B.A.P Inteview for Hanryu Pia | March 2012


January, the large scaled rookies debuted. At the same place where Kim Hyunjoong, the ex-SS501 leader, made his solo debut, these rookies gathered 3000 people suddenly and they held their showcase. Before their debut, they appeared on their own reality program on the Korean MTV called ‘Ta-Dah It’s B.A.P’, and that program was broadcasted in 8 Asian countries including Japan. Their debut song, WARRIOR, just one week later after it’s release it got into the top 10 albums chart in the USA Billboard accomplishing a brilliant achievement. ‘Hanryu Pia’ has accomplished to make a coverage of B.A.P was the first Japanese magazine to do so.
The KPOP world’s youngest 15-year old genius rapper revealed
Having just debuted recently, please, introduce yourselves and explain your talents to your Japanese fans.
Yongguk: I’m the leader and rapper. I also wrote the lyrics for all the songs and I’m also a producer. I’m not a really charming person (laughs). But since I’m an artist, I want to get closer to the Japanese people through music and I want to appeal to you too. I think one day we’ll release an album and we’ll promote in Japan.
Himchan: I’m the vocalist. I’m the same age as Yongguk, 21 years old. (In Japanese) Himchan is cute (laughs). Ah, he’s cool. His voice is good~. When I see myself not talking, even if I shockingly look like a person difficult to approach, I’m quite friendly.
Your Japanese is good! Are you studying it?
Himchan: I’ve been studying it since before but because of the debut preparations I haven’t studied Japanese for 5 months.
Daehyun: I’m the main vocalist. I’m confident in singing. I want to become a vocalist whose voice gets stuck in people’s ears so please, look over me. But since I’m still not used to being on TV I might not be able to show my cool side. Ah~ (appearing on) TV is difficult.
Youngjae: I’m also the main vocalist. We won’t lose to anyone in terms of passion and music. So please, listen to our music by all means!
Jongup: I’m the vocalist and dancer. My weak point is that I’m shy. When the fans approach me I end up being shy too… but I can perform with confidence and power on stage. (While being shy) please be sure to see me while I’m onstage.
Zelo: I’m B.A.P’s youngest, Zelo who’s in charge of rapping, I’m 15 years old. Recently, I heard that Japanese people like cat eyes. Because I also have cat like eyes, it becomes my charm point? Furthermore… I’m still a child but it’s ok to call me ‘oppa’, since I’ve the height (laughs). My biggest appeal point to my appearance of having fun while performing.
