[TRANS] B.A.P in Japanese CanCam magazine Jan. 2015 edition

Post by Alie


“B.A.P―!? The other side of B.A.P that no one yet knows!”

2012 Korean debut. In 2013, their Japanese debut with “Warrior”! Having strong individualistic sounds and powerful live performances is their charm; a 6-member group that’s popular in London, Paris, LA, NY and other places too. Their member’s daily fashion shown on tour and such are stylish and has a high standard score ♡ 

YOUNGJAE
Born on 1994, January 24. 178cm. A main vocal with a mellow voice as his charm. With the same-aged Daehyun, they’re nicknamed “Daejae” and loved by fans.

“I want to sweetly invite her to a date like “let’s play~♥” and go for a drive!” - Youngjae

Q1. The one with the highest tension after lives?
YJ: Probably Yongguk-san? It’s a surprise right (laughs)! He doesn’t speak that much usually, but he’s really noisy after a live!
DH: I think it’s Youngjae? He really talks a lot!
JU: I think so too…!
YJ: Eh!? Is that so (laughs).

Q2. The member who talks the most when moving between schedules?
YJ: Mainly… Himchan-san (laughs)! He gets excited with Daehyun, and then including me, the noise just grows.
DH: To the point that no one can stop us!
YJ: Although Jongup can sleep deeply through those sorts of situations (laughs).

Q3. The one with the worst sleeping habits?
YJ: Himchan-san talks a lot when he’s awake, but he also talks when he’s asleep (laughs)! Recently, I slept with Yongguk-san in his room, and from the next room, I heard the presumably-asleep Himchan-san sleep talking… That’s noise disturbance!

“A surprise during a winter date? How about buying a hot coffee and giving it to her~♥” – Youngjae

Q4. Who would seem to get the most jealous if you got a girlfriend?
YJ: I think Himchan-san. He’ll seem to get jealous at whichever member that gets a girlfriend (laughs).

Q5. If you get a girlfriend, who would you tell first?
YJ: To everyone♥

JONGUP
Born on 1995, February 6. 176cm. A dancer with a beautifully sculpted body and a too-sexy sidelong gaze!

“Watching a movie and chatting at a café…♥ I want to try a normal date like that… (shy)” - Jongup

Q1. The one who changed the most after debuting?
JU: Daehyun-san! His singing…
DH: What about my singing!?
JU: His singing, I used to think “it’s good!”, but now I feel that “woah~ it’s really good~!” and be moved (laughs).

Q2. The one to learn things quickest?
JU: Me and Zelo, the maknaes learn things quickly! But I’m slow at learning dances… The one with a good memory is Himchan-san. He can remember the faces of the staff from photoshoots, and the buildings that we pass momentarily in the car. It’s an amazing memorising power!

PRIVATE »

Q3. The slowest member at packing?
JU: Me? I’m the type to go at 25 minutes if we’re going to meet up in 30 minutes, and then end up arriving in 35 minutes (laughs).
YJ: Truly the “oh right, there was an agreement!” type (bursts out laughing)! The quick member is… Daehyun. On the opposite, he’s the type to arrive 10 minutes before the promised time, so he’s prepared all-round and arrived earlier than anyone else (laughs).
JU: He really is quick!

Q1. The one who causes most happenings?
HC: Daehyun! Zelo’s pant zipper broke during a live, and when he went off stage by himself to fix it, Daehyun mistook it as the live being finished and went backstage (laughs)!

PRIVATE »

Q2. The one who’s worst at cooking?
HC: Zelo and Youngjae. In the past, I asked Zelo to make the rice, and it turned out to be some colour I’d never seen… How did it turn out like that when all you need to do is turn on the switch?
ZL: Eh? I don’t remember (laughs)!

Q3. The one quickest at replying to SNS?
HC: It’s a 6-person group chat, yet it’s a 3-person conversation between Youngjae, me and Daehyun (laughs). The slow one is Yongguk. He makes me/us wait soooooo long and yet his reply is a single word! Even though he’s definitely been reading!
YG: I am reading, but I thought it’s fine if we talk when we meet.

“I want to fulfil all my girlfriend’s wishes! Whether it’s shopping or going on a date, allll of it♥” – Himchan

HC: I would report it in the group chat.
YJ: And then I’ll reply with “please break u~p”!

Q1. The one who causes most happenings?
DH: Probably Zelo? In the opening of last year’s tour, Zelo went on the stage lift and forgot his microphone… (laughs)! So I lent him mine ♥

PRIVATE »

Q2. The cleanest one is?
DH: Yongguk-san. Me and Zelo’s room are clean too! The messy one is Himchan-san and Jongup’s room (laughs). They have a habit of being suspicious of the other members if chargers are missing from that room (bursts out laughing)! They’ve only cleaned up when they moved in, and because the two of them are always asleep, they’ll never be able to clean up.

“Since it’s winter, I want to knit handmade scarves or gloves for her~♥“ – Daehyun

Q3. Who would seem to get the most jealous if you got a girlfriend?
DH: Probably me (laughs)! If my girlfriend didn’t’ tell me and went to eat dinner with a male friend? I would go directly to her and look her in the eye and ask her “where did you go yesterday” like a man. However, if it was Youngjae, he wouldn’t even be able to ask in a roundabout way like “yesterday…”, and just say “nope, it’s nothing” (laughs)!
YJ: I will get nervous and become unable to ask~

Q4. If you get a girlfriend, who would you tell first?
DH: I won’t tell anyone! (※Whilst being booed loudly, Youngjae stared straight at him from his side)
DH: I got it, I’ll tell.

BANG YONGGUK

“A cold winter date is relaxing at home! I’ll keep the heating low and warm her up with a backhug (laughs)” – Yongguk

WORK »

Q1. The one who eats the most after lives?
YG: That’ll be Himchan (laughs)! He really loves to eat, and when we’re eating, he’ll even eat our side dishes.
ZL: Yet we need permission if we want to eat Himchan-san’s food~!
YG: I am the smallest eater.

PRIVATE »

Q2. The one with the worst sleeping habits?
YG: There’s Himchan and Jongup’s room next to mine, but I can hear Himchan’s sleep talking through the wall (laughs)!
HC: It’s not like that at the hotel right?
YG: Presently… [no]. Regardless, that room is noisy.
HC: It’s difficult for me too! Seeing Jongup’s feet right in my face when I wake up… It’s the worst.
YG: Ah~ I’m glad I have my own room ♥

Q3. Who would seem to get the most jealous if you got a girlfriend?
YG: Either Daehyun, Youngjae or Zelo.

Q4. If you get a girlfriend, who would you tell first?
