Armoured boyband pop

BAP - "One Shot"

This is a groundbreaking video that can reshape the whole boyband industry. Korean BAP do not only shock the fans by transforming themselves from cute boyfriend material into Liam Norberg's*  successors - heavily armoured robbers - they also do it with the bloodiest and fiercest/most fierce video in the genre. It is gangster rap as tough boyband pop with fighting scenes and shooting that makes the fans scream aloud - their idols are dying! Fortunately, their mascot is an enterprising rabbit. (It is) Fascinating.

Note from the translator : Knowing that B.A.P have already appeared in the Swedish media, I'll try to make them appear in some Norwegian magazines as well, along with other Norwegian BABYs. K-pop is quite unknown in Northern Europe so it'd be fun to make it more popular. Of course I'll inform you if B.A.P do appear in the media here. ;) 

B.A.P’s One Shot has been featured in the Swedish edition of the newspaper, Metro.

On March 7’s publication of Metro, B.A.P’s One Shot was reviewed by the newspaper’s music critic, Peter Lindhom, who praised B.A.P for its transformation from cute, boyfriend material to tough, charismatic men in its most recent release. 

He called the song to include gangster rap with a tough boyband group that had fans screaming aloud as the members died one by one in the shooting scenes. Lindhom seemed quite fascinated with the music video and gave One Shot four globes out of five in ratings. 

Although B.A.P has never been to Sweden, the group’s popularity has been growing in the European country, evenplacing second in iTunes Top 10 Hip-Hop Albums chart in Sweden with One Shot.
