Update: Interview Translation
January 2012, B.A.P, the Korean Hip-hop
idol has arrived to conquer the earth!!
Let us explore the member’s unique
personality through this relay interview!!
A
year has passed from B.A.P’s first serial story on earth, and it is now facing
its end this month with a successful conclusion round off by having their first
visit to Japan. The last pair is BANG&ZELO, B.A.P’s leader Yongguk and
maknae Zelo.
At
last the final episode!
Thank
you very much!!
YG: It’s our last episode, so let’s do it professionally.
ZL: Yes!!
YG: Zelo, do you remember the first time we met each other?
ZL: Of course. I remember Yongguk-hyung and Himchan-hyung were in the
practice room together, but you were talking in your low tone with a military
cap over your eyes, so I felt a special aura from you. (laughs) I wanted to say
something to greet you, but the first thing that came out of my mouth was “Ah!!”
(laughs) I still remember this scene like yesterday.
YG: Ah~, that’s right. After we decided to start a group as B.A.P, a
lot of people came in and out in a short period of time, so whenever I saw
Zelo, I asked him “When are you going to quit?” (laughs)
ZL: To be honest, you were really scary that time. (laughs) But I
thought he is the kind of leader who knows what he needs to say. I felt that “He
learned and knows about social life.”
YG: When Zelo was chosen as a member of B.A.P, I was worried because he
was really young. I was concerned of our age difference. But he was able to
keep his private and public life separate, and was capable of making wise decisions.
Seeing those, I was impressed and thought “He is growing up with us.” But I
believe that it’s because I took good care of him. (laughs)
ZL: Yes, of course. (laughs) I am learning how to interact with others
and internal things from Yongguk-hyung. I sometimes read books about how I can
maintain personal relations, but I feel I learn more from Yongguk-hyung when I’m
with him. As you can see, he is really mature and a person I look up to, but
there is something that I want to reveal to the readers!! The jokes hyung
sometimes mumbles are really really funny!! One time, he came out of his room
and suddenly opened the refrigerator, and mumbled something really short and
walked back to his room… Something like that really makes us laugh. (laughs)
YG: Is that really necessary to reveal? (embarrassed) Do you think that
we would be best friends if we were the same age?
ZL: I think we would be rivals rather than best friends. Like what we do
now, we would work hard and improve a lot by learning from each other.
YG: Umm, I see. So if you had a sister, would you introduce me to her?
ZL: Of course!! Even though you are not the type to show your feelings
and emotions so much, I know that you are really kind to women and have
charming personality.
YG: hhhhh (embarrassed) In this relay interview, there is a part where
we talk about “Which member has the most mysterious personality.” And it looks
like most of us answered Jongup.
ZL: I think that’s because Jongup-hyung is a person who never stops
changing. (laughs) Sometimes it’s hard to understand him even when I’m right
next to him. He is much mature and adult than his actual age. His way of
thinking…and everything.
YG: That’s what I like about Jongup. He never covers his true self, and
he is always natural. He doesn’t have any difference even he is on TV shows or
in the dorm with us. He is very innocent and natural. So, I don’t have a member
that’s mysterious for me.
ZL: I understand a lot about Jongup-hyung since I’m about the same age
as him!!
YG: So, this relay interview is the 12th, and the final
interview for us.
ZL: Our first interview in Japanese magazine was this “Hanryu-Pia.” I
still can’t get used to the fact that I’m having a job which I get interviewed
on a magazine. I enjoyed everything including photo shooting and interviews.
YG: Did you (readers) learned and found out something new about us? We
think about this a lot, but… We always say to ourselves that not only being a
star of idols, but we should also be an icon for a role model for children too.
In the future, B.A.P would like to be an icon like that.
ZL: I also agree with Yongguk-hyung. In addition, we would like to
express and emphasize each member’s colors in their own special ways too.
YG: Thank you so much for reading and following our serial story for a
year. We enjoyed it very much, and I am grateful that a lot of fans enjoyed us
on “Hanryu-Pia,” and for supporting B.A.P. It’s sad that it’s coming to an end,
but I hope we can do something fun with “Hanryu-Pia” in the future!!
*Starting
from the first interview right after their debut, B.A.P’s yearlong serial story
is finally over!! Readers!! Please support B.A.P from now on together with “Hanryu-Pia”
