2013 2nd Mini Album "One Shot"

High Expectations New Star "Soldier Idols" in 2013

B.A.P debuted in January 2012 with their single "Warrior." With outfits like armor and choreography characteristic of an attack, they have come to be called Soldier Idols. Always talking about wanting to do things differently than others, they used unexpected elements in their 1st mini-album "No Mercy" with regional dialect raps, and traditional Korean samul nori music performances in their songs. In January 2013 they won the rookie of the year award at the 2013 Seoul Music Awards, B.A.P can now boast being the top of the rookies who debuted the same year. We're eagerly awaiting their coming to Japan. 

Reason 1 for B.A.P's Popularity: Their perfect singing ability and performance, you wouldn't expect they debuted a year ago!

* Leader Yongguk takes over rapping parts with his low voice. Before B.A.P's debut him and Zelo were promoting their own unit. 

* With a wide vocal range and holding the nickname "Honey Voice" is Daehyun.

* With a talent for super fast rap performances, the youngest member Zelo is only 16* years old.  

* Either a magazine goof, or the article was taken from an older source and reused here (I've seen this a lot in Japanese Kpop magazines...)

Reason 2 for B.A.P's Popularity: With each song their visual changes!

When they debuted, all the members had cute blond hair!!

With almost white blonde hair at their debut showcase and singing masculine hip-hop, they put fans into a frenzy.

--> If you thought they were a cute group, they dressed in all black

--> With "No Mercy" their image changed to a "pop" style

Performances beyond a rookie group and bursting personality

With their debut image they were in all black, wild outfits, but with their "No Mercy" mini album promotions B.A.P changed their image to one more colorful. The idea to have their outfits varied among the members according to each of their tastes showed off their personalities.  

Furthermore, singing their feelings of love with "Crash," the eyes of fans were fixed on their image change to one resembling cute dancing idols. Changing their image with each new song, B.A.P always surprises us. 

Whirlwind B.A.P won't stop yet!

Out of all the new acts of 2012, B.A.P released the most songs, and they continue that momentum with the February 13, 2013 release of their 2nd mini-album "One Shot." This album reached #1 on the American Billboard World album chart. They also perform their first solo concert for their "Live on Earth Seoul" show at Seoul Olympic Hall February 23rd and 24th, B.A.P's powerful attack will get stronger.
