We chose B.A.P, who came back with a light and warm song. This time round they showed a mature and manly side of them! If each of them could become a female, which member would he choose to go out with? Also, which member messes up the dorm most? Of course, the spotlight is on our famous ‘Cruel Questionings’! EPOP fans, hurry up and gather up to listen!

EPOP: Through this time’s live tour, did it become a precious experience?
DaeHyun: Since in lives there are more freedom, so I was too excited I mistook a few dance steps. But the fans that stood in front of us still gave us a warm round of applause, and I felt a little sorry.
HimChan: Actually for every show, whenever we were backstage waiting, you know how there was the introductory video? While watching that backstage, we always felt it being significance.

EPOP: HimChan really likes to take pictures of them with BABYz, why is that so?
HimChan: Em… Actually taking pictures of the BABYz seems to have become a hobby of mine. I would always share the pictures I took with everyone. Of course the cameramen’s pictures are all very fantastic, but actually, the real meaning of me taking pictures of the BABYz, is to record down every important moment. I have that feeling when I take pictures of our members too, sharing every moment with the fans.

EPOP: In the ‘One Shot’ MV, it seemed rather different than the others, any thoughts or difficulties?
DaeHyun: Actually at first, since the MV had quite a lot of violence in it, we at first did not know much of the details. That day we just listened to the director’s instructions, then we immediately got to filming. I think since at that moment everyone thought of the same ideas, that’s why the MV came out that smoothly.
YongGuk: I think… at the end of the MV, since YoungJae betrayed us, I felt sad, also feeling it a little of a pity. Oh yeah, at the end of the MV there’s a lot of battle, and I think that is the spotlight of the MV.
DaeHyun: Yes, that’s indeed the spotlight!

EPOP: Then during the filming of the MV, was there anyone who would laugh in the midst of it?
HimChan: I remember while filming the MV, everyone was focused on it, so the air was very serious, thus no one really laughed or cracked a joke in the midst of filming.

EPOP: Any member who wasn’t satisfied with their role?
DaeHyun: Actually, other than YoungJae (who played the villain), our roles were similar to our true selves.
YoungJae: I’m satisfied with my role.

EPOP: We were very shocked and amazed at Zelo’s dance move whereby he crawls on the ground!
Zelo: Actually that move is not that difficult, if you practice enough, your body would adapt to the move.

EPOP: While you guys were filming the MV, did you all think the dance was harder? I mean, doing push-ups on the floor…
HimChan: Actually while filming it we already felt the difficulty.

EPOP: Then, who can do the most push-ups out of all?
YongGuk: I remember us saying, “Let’s see who could do the most push-ups in a minute!” In the end it was DaeHyun, he did 60 of them!

EPOP: HimChan suffered an injury a while ago, which brought fans’ concerns, but did any of your members show any concern?
HimChan: The members actually were all very worried, that time we were just preparing for a music show, so everyday they’d drag their tired bodies back to the dorm, and although in such a state, YoungJae would always ask me if I was okay and if there was anything wrong. I really feel grateful for him.

EPOP: Has any way of dorm-keeping changed since you first debuted?
Zelo: About now… We have a cleaning lady cleaning our dorm, however when he has time, JongUp hyung helps me wash the clothes.
HimChan: About making the bed, the worst at it… Isn’t it the person who sleeps most? The person who sleeps most…
HimChan&DaeHyun: Is JongUp!
HimChan: JongUp… Right after his meal he goes to bed.

EPOP: Here, everyone please pick a ‘best boyfriend’ from your heart. If you are a girl, who would you be dating with?
HimChan: I’d date with JongUp, since he should be good to his girlfriend!
YongGuk: Me… Actually I answered this couple of times before. But every time I’m asked, I always answer differently. This time… I’m going with YoungJae. YoungJae is really a cool guy, some more he’s smart, recently he became more muscular, so if I’m a girl, I’ll think that having a smart boyfriend is not bad!
DaeHyun: If I’m a girl… I might want to go out with HimChan hyung… But my thoughts change often…
HimChan: I’m not really prepared for relationships yet…
DaeHyun: I think if I go out with HimChan, he would not just not starve me, but also have the coolness with the interestingness that won’t make me miserable.
Zelo: Me… I would try dating JongUp hyung, since he won’t starve me, for he brings me to eat burgers often. His singing is really good, and his dancing is awesome, so if I have him as a boyfriend, I’d be proud.
DaeHyun: Is that your serious real thought now? (Everyone laughs)

EPOP: If you are to become a girl, Zelo and HimChan picked JongUp to be their boyfriend, what about YoungJae and JongUp?
JongUp: After listening to the other members and thoroughly thinking through, actually I’m going to choose HimChan as my boyfriend. Like everyone else said, HimChan hyung won’t let anyone go hungry; furthermore many fans say that HimChan is really handsome, if there’s such a boyfriend, I’d definitely be delighted.
YoungJae: I would choose Zelo to date, since Zelo has a great interest for fashion, so he must really like going shopping. I think many ladies like going shopping, so if she could go shopping with Zelo, she should be happy.

‘CRUEL QUESTIONINGS!’

EPOP: Who looks at the mirror the most?

*HimChan was picked!*

YongGuk: It’s because you are handsome. During the activities, no matter it’s makeup, or hair styling, I think I always saw him with a mirror in hand.

HimChan: I only look at myself at appropriate times! Haha!

YongGuk: Well actually, everyone looks at the mirror often. While doing makeup at the backstage, we all do look at the mirror, however out of us, HimChan looks at it more often, Zelo too, but everyone looks at it a lot.

EPOP: Who makes the dorm messy most?

*HimChan was picked!*

HimChan: ?! You guys are really funny, seriously, so funny, you guys! I’m not gonna play anymore. (HimChan being ballistic)

DaeHyun: Actually, we usually have a cleaning lady, to help us clean our dorm. However the next day, it seems like HimChan hyung has more things, so it feels like he’s messier.

EPOP: Which member seldom treats others?

*JongUp was picked!*

JongUp: I don’t treat others much, since the hyungs are always treating, thus I’ve got no chance…

HimChan: That… Is when I was a trainee, since going to convenience stores were more convenient, in a month I used a million won. I’m trying to control it a little now.

EPOP: Who is the prankster in the group?

*HimChan was picked!*

Zelo: It’s not those childish pranks, more like an older brother pranking on the younger.
