Album B.A.P's Third Mini Album [BADMAN]

B.A.P who threw an unconventional but challenging announcement to come out with triple title songs, B.A.P the Kpop divinity who keeps going forward, where is their limit? The 'BADMAN' MV which will become another masterpiece for B.A.P, declares war upon crime in Detroit, America! The third mini album [BADMAN] brings out a musical confidence. The previously revealed first title track 'Coffee Shop' shows a mature man with a softly melting Jazz melody, the second title song 'Hurricane' shows an ambitious man in a high class fashion, and the third title song 'BADMAN' delivers a strong and concrete message about a society tinged with fear and anxiety in B.A.P's fashion. Through the totally different genre, and concept of a triple title track, B.A.P will show their widened spectrum and takeoff, not as simple Kpop artists, but as musicians.

Step 1 Unmasking B.A.P [BADMAN] Cover Shoot

We are revealing the cover image of B.A.P's new album [BADMAN]. In the midst of having an abandoned area as the background and the exuding a rising charisma of the 6 members, the most eye catching thing is the face painting. Each member's face has black painting on their face to look like a contrast of black and white, showing the duality of humans. The face painting symbolizes a person wearing a mask hiding the sinner or even the devil,while the uncovered parts symbolizes victims, showing that it holds a very deep meaning! We are only revealing a little to our Naver family.

Step 2 Unmasking The Set of B.A.P's [BADMAN] MV – B.A.P's Entry Into Detroit

Going across 4 cities in America, 'Coffee Shop' showed new visuals; to add on to 'Hurricane' which showed the night-scape of Las Vegas and a B.A.P that knows how to have fun, B.A.P's third title song 'BADMAN' was shot in Detroit. From a set with massive structures and a location beyond limits we are also very proud that they were able to show the extraordinary caliber of the music video. The music video set of the 6 men who had no choice but to become a 'BADMAN' for justice, will be specially revealed on Naver Special.

▲Tadah! This is the location in which we took our shots for 3 nights and 4 days. They are places that have a magnificent and yet a lonesome atmosphere. Because of the nature of the concept of 'BADMAN', we had to look for a desolate area, so we thought that the best place was in Detroit and everybody was on the same page about that. We think that a more meaningful music video was completed because of the main set, the Michigan theater, which isn't used as a theater anymore but is still magnificent and colorful with it's 1920's style building form, and it was evaluated that it was enough, so most of the movie, photo shoot, etc. were shot at this famous place.

▲ This is the 6 B.A.P members we are proud of, earnestly immersed in the shoot! We were able to film in a fun atmosphere as they and the staff members, who were also working hard all day and night to create a great music video, psyched each other up. As expected B.A.P is the coolest on stage or in front of a camera!

▲ If your talking about B.A.P, you can't leave out the performance! The B.A.P that shows off powerful and yet ingenious moves, used lights as props to shine light in the darkness to show not only a dramatic stage effect but also to maximize the message in the song for the [BADMAN] music video, making one have no choice but to say as expected of B.A.P. Please be in anticipation for B.A.P who has comeback on an even higher level of a strong character image and will show the best performance!

▲ This is the music video set that reminisces scenes in blockbuster movies. Can you feel the overwhelming sense of each scene from just the pictures? For the 'BADMAN' music video shoot, the 100 people living in Detroit who were used as extras were a great help. We really want to give thanks to all these people again for working so hard on set, not coiling themselves away from danger but enthusiastically opening up.

▲ We are revealing these small but precious pictures to our Naver Music family. The 6 members of B.A.P who never lose their smiles and keep up their best conditions even in their busy and tiring schedule! We hope you will continue to become great artists who win victory after victory!
