B1A4’s CNU picked f(x)’s Krystal as his ideal type and confessed that he liked her.
On the January 14th episode of cable TV, MBC every1’s ‘Weekly Idols-This Week’s Idols’, B1A4 appeared as a new year special. Along with revealing his ideal type, he revealed that he was normally a fan of f(x)’s Krystal and left a video message for her as well.
Although he gathered up courage and confessed, “I hope we can eat a meal together one time. I was a big fan. I love you”, the members started getting flustered due to his bold confession.
After gaining courage from CNU’s confession, the other members showed rookie-like fresh hearts by mentioning SNSD’s Yoona, Taeyeon and Miss A’s Suzy.
Besides this, the members showed their hidden talents in the ‘Idol Individual Parts’ Terminators’ corner for the part that matched with each of the members, receiving high praise from Jung Hyungdon.
Meanwhile, the newcomer special MBC every1 episode of ‘Weekly Idols’ with B1A4 will be airing at 2 PM on the 14th.

Rookie boy idol group B1A4’s total album sales reached 100,000 copies by this year January.

Pony Canyon Korea who is the recording label company of B1A4’s albums revealed on January 10th “Even though B1A4 is currently on their break without any active album promotions, their first mini album “Let’s Fly” and their second mini album “it B1A4” sales figures are still increasing steadily” also “We also faced some extraordinary incidents where the shops couldn’t sell more because they were out of stock”.

Also, they continued, “B1A4’s total album sales exceeds over 100,000 copies in Korea only” which showed the scary power of the group.

By the end of 2011, the Hanteo Chart (the representative music chart of South Korea) revealed the rankings of the top 50 best selling albums of 2011 where B1A4’s second mini album “it B1A4” was on #22, they were the only rookies who made in the top 50 among the rookies who made their debut last year.

This relevant ranking was calculated by compiling all the datas from 1st of January 2011 till the 31st of December 2011 by Hanteo Chart and it is more meaningful because B1A4 is a rookie group who made their debut in April 2011 but joined the other male idol groups like Super Junior, Big Bang, TVXQ and girl groups like Girls’ Generation and many other senior artists in the TOP 50
.
Furthermore, the group ranked first in the rookie category while creating an overwhelming gap with other rookie groups, their mini album sales figure placed 5th, joining other artists like Big Bang, Kim Hyunjoong, Park Jaebum in the chart and proved their ‘Super Rookie’ power.

B1A4 will be departuring for Osaka, Japan on the 10th to attend the 26th Golden Disk Awards.

Meanwhile, Hanteo Chart calculates the total sales figure by compiling and adding all the points from their joint music stores and the sales figures from online internet music shopping malls after considering all the variables, on the other hand, the artists’ agency checks their sales record by asking their distributors so it’s normal even if the two sales figure differ.

[NEWS] 111014 Scary growth of B1A4’s fandom, “we are super rookies”


신인그룹 B1A4(비원에이포)의 팬덤이 무서운 속도로 빠르게 성장하고 있다.


B1A4는 공식 팬카페 회원수가 4만 명에 육박하고 있는 것은 물론 하루에 방문수가 8만여 명에 달한다. 특히 새로운 가입자 수가 급속도로 늘어나고 있어 대형 팬덤으로 성장할 조짐을 보이고 있는 것.

또 B1A4는 포털 사이트 다음(Daum)과 엠카운트다운이 함께 하는 다음 팬카페 스테이지 응원 순위에서 선배 가수 김현중과 1위를 두고 치열한 각축전을 벌이고 있다.

다음 팬카페 스테이지는 팬카페 방문과 가입, 글쓰기 등 오직 팬들의 힘으로만 정해지기 때문에 팬덤의 규모는 물론 회원들의 활발한 활동이 있어야 상위권 진입이 가능하다.

B1A4는 첫 번째 미니 앨범이 2만 5000장, 두 번째 미니 앨범이 3만 장 이상의 판매고를 올리고 있어 올해 4월 데뷔 이후 약 6개월 동안 6만 장에 가까운 음반 판매량을 기록하고 있다.
한편, B1A4는 두 번째 미니 앨범 타이틀곡 ‘Beautiful Target’으로 활발한 활동을 이어가고 있으며 태국 등 해외 프로모션도 함께 활발히 진행 중이다.
Rookie group B1A4’s fandom is growing quiet rapidly

B1A4’s official fancafe members totals up to around 40,000 and not to mention the nearly 80,000 people visting the cafe daily. In particular the number of new subscribers is growing rapidly.

Recently Daum sponsered a Daum special fancafe stage at M Countdown and instead of 1st place winner sunbae Kim Hyun Joong it was B1A4 who performed.

Only by the power of the fans can they have the Daum special fancafe stage at M countdown, so its obvious that they need the active foreign fans to participate in the voting.

B1A4’s first mini-album sold 25,000 copies while their second mini-album sold over 30,000 copies and having only debuted around 6 months they already have sold around 60,000 copies. B1A4 is actively promoting ‘Beautiful Target’ and actively promoting in overseas Thailand as well.

[TRANS][NEWS] 111012 Rookie idol group B1A4 acknowledges fangift on a music broadcast


신인 아이돌 그룹 B1A4(비원에이포)가 팬이 선물한 모자를 생방송 무대에 쓰고 나와 화제가 되고 있다.



12일 한 커뮤니티 사이트에는 ‘신인 B1A4 정말 제대로 인증’이라는 제목의 글과 사진이 올라왔다.

글쓴이는 “4월에 데뷔한 신인 아이돌 B1A4를 좋아하게 됐다”며 “9월 중순 컴백한다는 소리를 듣고 특별한 선물을 주기로 했다”고 했다.

‘컴백 선물’을 고민했던 글쓴이는 B1A4 멤버 중 ‘바로’가 평소 모자를 자주 쓴다는 소식을 접하고 직접 모자를 만들었다. 모자는 10대 아이돌 이미지에 어울리게 까만색 바탕에 아기자기한 소품들이 달려 있다.

그리고 얼마 뒤 B1A4는 이 특별한 모자를 ‘MBC-쇼 음악중심’에 쓰고 나왔다. 글쓴이는 “학교에서 쉬는 시간에 틈틈이 만들었는데, 이렇게 방송에서 ‘인증’까지 해주리라고는 상상도 못했다”고 감격스러워 했다.
인증사진을 본 네티즌들은 “B1A4 멤버들이 너무 착한 것 같다”, “방송에 쓰고 나올 만큼 모자를 잘 만들었다”, “팬이 정성껏 준비한 선물을 고맙게 생각하는 아이돌이다” 등의 반응을 보였다. 국민일보 쿠키뉴스 이지영 기자

After writing a post titled ‘comeback present’ while deciding what to prepare, the fan decided to make a special cap, knowing that B1A4 member Baro wears caps very often. Matching the teen idol image, the cap is black with cute props attached to it.

Shorting after, B1A4 wore this cap on stage for MBC’s Music Core. The post says “I made this cap in the spare rest time that I had in school and never imagined that they would acknowledge it by wearing it on stage”, expressing how touched she was.

The netizens who saw the pictures said “the B1A4 members seem really kind”, “the cap was made well enough to be worn on stage”, “they are idols who are thankful for the presents that the fans prepare whole-heartedly” etc.

[NEWS] B1A4, receiving hot responses before their comeback, ‘Will they become the public’s target?’

신인그룹 비원에이포(B1A4)가 컴백 초읽기에 돌입했다.



9월16일 KBS ‘뮤직뱅크’에서 미니 앨범 2집 ‘뷰티풀 타켓(Beautiful Target)’으로 컴백하는 비원에이포가 컴백 전부터 뜨거운 반응을 얻고 있다.

스페셜 미니 앨범 2집 ‘잇 비원에이포(it B1A4)’의 예약판매를 실시함과 동시에 주요 음반 사이트의 각종 음반 순위에서 상위권을 기록하고 있는 것. 현재 주요 음반 판매 사이트 각종 순위에서 상위권에 랭크되어 그들의 인기를 실감케 하고 있다.

이에 소속사 측은 “예약 판매를 시작하자마자 주문이 빗발치고 있다. 신인임에도 불구하고 첫 번째 데뷔 음안도 지금까지 꾸준히 25,000장 이상의 판매고를 올리고 있다. 이대로라면 미니 앨범 1집의 판매량을 가뿐히 뛰어넘을 것으로 예상된다”고 전했다.

또한 “추석에 공개한 타이틀곡 ‘뷰티풀 타켓’의 티저도 공개한 직후 공식 홈페이지에 하루 2만 명 이상씩 접속하고 있다”고 설명해 비원에이포의 성공적인 컴백을 예감케 한다.

특히 이번 미니 앨범 2집에는 멤버 신우, 바로가 타이틀곡 작사와 앨범 전곡 랩 메이킹에 참여한 것으로 알려졌다. 이에 더해 멤버 진영은 미니 앨범 1집에 수록된 ‘블링블링(Bling Bling)’에 이어 다시 한 번 작곡가로 도전해 만든 자작곡이 포함돼 비원에이포의 아티스트로서 한 단계 레벨업 된 모습을 만날 수 있다.

타이틀곡 ‘뷰티풀 타켓’은 기존 댄스 가요와는 다른 반전의 반전을 거듭하는 특이한 구성을 가진 곡으로 이에 비원에이포만의 개성을 더해 더욱 재기 발랄함이 느껴지는 노래다.
한편 비원에이포는 9월16일 100페이지의 화보집이 담긴 미니 앨범 2집을 공개한다.
The countdown for rookie group B1A4’s comeback has begun.

Making their comeback on KBS Music Bank this 16th with ‘Beautiful Target’, the title song of their 2nd mini-album, B1A4 has been receiving hot responses even before the comeback.

B1A4 has been making records on the charts since the preorders for their 2nd special mini-album, ‘it B1A4’, both offline and online. They are currently in the upper ranks of main online music sites, showing the group’s popularity.

On this, the company stated that, “As soon as preorders for the album started, orders came rushing in. Despite being a rookie group, the sales for B1A4’s debut album has been steadily rising even now and over 25,000 copies have been sold. At this rate, we believe that the 2nd minialbum will easily sell more than the first.”


Also, they are expecting a successful comeback for B1A4, saying, “After releasing the teaser for ‘Beautiful Target’ on Chuseok, the official homepage has received more than 20,000 hits a day”

In particular, members CNU and Baro took part in writing the lyrics for the title song as well rap making for the whole album. Also, after composing ‘Bling Girl’ in the 1st album, Jinyoung has composed another song in this album. B1A4 will show a new upgraded side as artists through these.

*RE-POST*[TRANS][INTERVIEW] 110800 B1A4 for Spicy Magazine - August Edition

note: it’s a re-post since our previous post was eror :(
——————————————————————————————————

Interview with up & coming boy band ‘B1A4’

Handsome, cute, with a little bit of naughtiness. Even the skies do not dare to rain on the boys of B1A4. They have just flown in straight from Korea, to attend the press conference as well as introduce themselves as the new presenters in the commercial of ‘B1A4 Big Cola’. And SPICY had the chance to interview all 5 boys. Now, for all the young, old, fake, or real girls out there, you can read the interview.

Q: First off, we’d like all the 5 boys to introduce themselves to the Thai fans.
B1A4: Hello, we’re B1A4!
Shinwoo: Hello, I’m Shinwoo (smiles)
Baro: Hello, I’m Baro. (laughs)
Jinyoung: Hello, I’m leader Jinyoung. (smiles)
Sandeul: Hello, I’m Sandeul.
Gongchan: Hello, I’m the maknae Gongchan. (smiles)

Q: Many people have been wondering where does the name ‘B1A4’ originate from.
Jinyoung: The name of the band comes from our blood types - because there are 4 people with blood type A, and 1 person with blood type B, Baro. This is why we’re called ‘B1A4’.

Q: Since Baro is the only member with blood type B, do you feel lonely?
Baro: No, never. Because I’m always usually with the members, so no matter what, I’ll never feel lonely. (smiles)

Q: This is the first time B1A4 has come to Thailand right? What was your first impression of Thailand?
Jinyoung: Yes. (laughs)
Shinwoo: Last night when we arrived in Thailand, our flight was a very late flight. And when we arrived in Thailand it was already really late, but then there were still fans in the airport waiting to welcome us. And the thing is, we’ve only debuted for around 3 months, but there is already this many fans welcoming us at the airport. We were very touched, and this is a really good experience.

Q: Is there anywhere in particular in Thailand that you would like to visit?
 ?: I want to go to the floating market as well as the night market very much. I’ve seen it on the Korean cable TV many times and I really want to go. And there’s a wishing well. Thailand has many interesting things, like eating or just culture in general. If there is a chance, we’d really like to visit those places.

Q: You guys had the chance to stay overnight at a very prestigious hotel, how do you guys feel?
Sandeul: When we got back to the hotel it was already late, so we didn’t have a chance to tour the hotel much. But because we slept with the curtains open, during the morning, the sunlight streaked into our room and the view was amazing. And the pool at the hotel is very beautiful, if there’s a chance we would like to go swim.

Q: What type of style do you look for in a girl?
Shinwoo: I like a girl who can become friends with my mother, and who can take care of me and our family. (smiles)
Baro: I like a girl who can communicate well with me and would understand me at all times.
Jinyoung: I like a girl who understands me, and her heart must only belong to me (laughs)
Sandeul: I like girls with high motivation, like when she’s working she’ll put all her effort into working. I like good role models.
Gongchan: Just a girl who will understand me, and we can understand each other is enough (smiles)

Q: Is there anything you’d like to say to the Thai fans?
Jinyoung: I’d like to thank the fans because even though its our first time to Thailand, they’ve already supported us through so much. And whenever we look at the fans, we’d see fanboards with lights and our names on it coming to cheer on us. And if we had a chance to come back to Thailand again, we will come back, this is for sure. And we promise to you all that we will continue being the hard working, highly motivated ‘B1A4’ you guys knows. And again, we’d like to thank all of you.

신인그룹 비원에이포(B1A4)가 공포스러운(?) 사진으로 네티즌들의 주목을 이끌고 있다.

7월31일 그룹 비원에이포 멤버 신우는 자신의 트위터를 통해 다소 무서운 분위기의 사진을 공개했다.

신우는 “오늘은 기쁜 날! Oh! happy day”라는 글과 함께 사진을 올렸다. 공개한 사진에는 비원에이포 다섯 멤버가 마치 가족사진을 찍는 듯한 상황을 연출하고 있다.

그러나 ‘기쁜 날’이라고 표현한 트윗과는 다르게 멤버들은 무표정한 표정으로 카메라를 응시하고 있어 영화 ‘장화, 홍련’을 떠올리게 한다. 특히 멤버 공찬은 영화 ‘주온’의 토시오를 연상
케하는 표정으로 서있어 무서움을 더한다.

이 에 팬들은 패러디물을 제작하는 등 뜨거운 반응을 보이고 있다. 또 “신우오빠 사차원인 것 같다. 글과 사진이 다르다” “공찬이 표정 진짜 무섭다” “공포영화 노리고 찍은 사진인가? 완전 리얼하다” 등의 의견을 보이며 즐거워하고 있다.

한편 비원에이포는 ‘못된 것만 배워서’로 첫 번째 미니앨범의 활동을 마무리하고 컴백준비에 박차를 가하고 있다.

Rookie group B1A4 are getting netizen’s attention by uploading a horrific picture.

On July31, CNU has posted a scary picture on his twitter.

He twitted “Today is a happy day! Oh! happy Day!” with this picture. The picture seemed like a family photo.

But ironically to his tweet, their face was expressionless in the picture. It reminded the netizen’s a korean horror movie ‘A Tale of Two Sisters’ and maknae Gongchan looked like Toshio from the ‘Grudge’.

The fans are showing a lot of love to this parody photo. The fans said “I think CNU oppa is very strange. His tweet and the picture is very ironic ” ” Gongchan’s facial expression is very scary” “are they trying to shoot a horror movie? It is very realistic!” fans seemed like they enjoyed the picture very much.

After ending promotions with ‘Only Learned Bad Things’, B1A4 is in the process of their preparing for their comeback.

MTV <Match Up> Block B vs B1A4
“Being completely honest, my girlfriend is here right now. Would it be okay if I called her up to the stage and sang a song for her?”

On the night of July 27th, Block B’s Kyung makes a shocking confession that makes his crowd stir. Fans begin to question, “What is this, I thought this was a mini-concert. What’s going on?”

“Match Up”, a program that pits two idols, Block B and B1A4, as rivals against each other, held their first mini-concert on this day. To fans that came to support their respective bands, they can’t help but feel betrayed by Kyung’s statement.

Fans scream out, “Whoa~”, as the lady in question heads up towards the stage. After she gives him a light kiss, the crowd begins to chant, “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”

The woman says, “To all of you, he may be a cucumber and Dharma.. but I’m able to do anything if it’s for Kyung.” Fans begin to cry at her statement, but fortunately, she’s actually Park Kyung’s older sister.

Kyung shouts out, “You were all tricked~” P.O., who was watching the entire scene from the back, can’t help but chuckle as he rolls his feet against the floor.

Although it was a harsh joke for the fans, this is precisely the reason why Block B was chosen for “Match Up”. They have a certain charm that doesn’t make them seem like rookies at all. In contrast, anyone can tell that B1A4 is a rookie with their sweet and awkward charm.

Unlike Block B, who’s been joking around with their fans all along, B1A4 makes a heartfelt confession, screaming out, “You are our baby~ We are your baby~”

With bright, smiling faces, the five boys harmonize together, drawing out awe from the crowd. They, too, are rookies just three months into their debut. Maknae Gongchan’s butt dance and the way CNU blushes as he does a heart dance gives the feel of awkward freshness that’s endearing.

Because of that, it’s not B1A4 that are pulling tricks, but actually their fans. Leader Jinyoung pretends to be angry and disappears to the back of the stage, leading fans to call out, “Kiss him and make him come back!” CNU gives a hesistant smile and asks back, “Eh? Kiss him?”

“Match Up” is a show for fans that stand between the charms of both idols and call out, “I’m for both!” Still, whether they’re confident or shy, one of the biggest reasons they make the hearts of their fans flutter is with their ‘cute charms’.

‘스타킹’도 복고를 선택했다.

30일 방송된 SBS TV ‘놀라운 대회 스타킹’에서는 복고 열풍을 일으킨 영화 ‘써니’의 7공주 파의 모습을 재현했다.

진 명여고 64회 동기 동창인 김미자(56), 윤미영(56) 씨는 “우리가 30년 만에 동창회를 통해 만났는데 못 찾은 친구가 있어서 ‘스타킹’에 나왔다. 암으로 먼저 떠난 친구가 있었다. 그래서 그 전에 못 만난 친구들을 만나고 싶다”고 말했다.

이날 미쓰에이는 나미의 ‘인디언 인형처럼’을, B1A4는 송골매의 ‘어쩌다 마주친 그대’를, 동창 미미는 들고양이들의 ‘마음 약해서’를 열창해 추억 속으로 빠져들었다.

이어 김미자 씨는 영화 속 유호정처럼 자신의 첫사랑 상대인 이남식씨를 찾아달라는 사심을 내비쳤다. 그런데 즉석에서 첫사랑 이남식 씨와 곧바로 전화 열결이 되어 모두를 놀라게 만들었다.

김 미자 씨는 “가방에 돌을 넣고 다녀서 장래성을 생각해 헤어졌다”고 말했지만 이남식 씨는 “그런 적 없다”고 말했다. 또 “그 당시 미자씨가 참 영악했고 굉장히 목소리가 매력적이었다”며 “그 때도 몸매는 아니었던 것 같다”고 회상했다.

이에 안문숙은 “진짜 잘 찾는다”고 감탄하며 자신의 첫사랑, 점방 오빠에게 “어디에 있든 그 행복 그대로 넣어둬”라는 발언으로 스튜디오를 포복절도케 했다.
‘Star King’ also did a retro.

‘The amazing tournament Star King’ aired on July 30th, the idols did a retro caused of the movie, Sunny. It looked like a return of 7 princesses in that movie.

The alumni of Girl-school Jinmyung, Kim Mi Ja(56) and Yoon Mi Young(56) said “We met each other in the alumni party in 30 years. There are friends we cannot see so that we came to Star King. We have a friend that passed away because of cancer, before that time came, I wanted to meet friends I didn’t meet”

This day, Miss A sang Nami’s ‘Like indian doll’, B1A4 sang Song Gol Mae’s ‘A Chance Encounter’, Mimi sang ‘Weak mind’ making us fell into the old memories.

On the other hand, Kim Mi Ja acted as Yoo Ho Jung in the movie, searching for her first love, Lee Nam Shik. Then, her first love, Lee Nam Shik, immediately phoned her. That surprised everyone.

“I put the stone into the bag and go on, thinking about the prospect and then I gave up” said Kim Mi Ja but Lee Nam Shik replied “That’s never happened, That time Min ja’s very clever and your voice was so attractive. Your boday was not so fat then”

“That’s really good searching” Ahn Moon Suk admired and said to her first love “Wherever you are, please be happy” making everyone seizures.

그룹 B1A4(비원에이포) 멤버 산들과 바로가 선보인 ‘새싹춤’이 화제다.

산들과 바로는 지난 9일 방송된 MBC ‘세바퀴’에서 “신인그룹 B1A4에게 물도 주고 관심을 달라는 의미에서 준비했다”며 귀여운 몸짓이 돋보이는 새싹춤 율동을 선보였다.

새싹춤은 바로가 웅크리고 있는 산들에게 물을 주는 퍼포먼스로 시작됐다. 산들은 바로의 물을 듬뿍 맞고 몸을 꿈틀거리며 싹을 틔우는 씨앗을 몸으로 표현해냈다.

바로는 잎사귀를 피우며 싹을 틔우듯 양 팔을 위로 바짝 올렸다. 새싹 잎이 바람에 흔들리는 장면을 연상시크는 몸짓은 마치 새싹이 신이나 춤을 추는 듯 경쾌해 보였다.

한편 B1A4는 현재 가수 휘성이 작사에 참여한 ‘못된 것만 배워서’로 곡으로 활동 중이다.
B1A4’s members, Sandeul and Baro, introduced the ‘Grass Dance’.

In MBC’s’The Question Changing the World’, which aired on July 9th, “Just give B1A4 water, we’re ready to show the different actions” said Sandeul and Baro, showing the lovely rhythms of their Grass Dance.

As Baro gave water to Sandeul sitting on the floor, the performance was started. Sandeul got water from Baro and started acting like a sprouting seed.

Baro pulled the leaf, Sandeul’s raising arms, and raised up together acting the grass was blown by the wind. It’s the dance which is like a grass they showed to the audiences.

At the same time, B1A4 is now promoting their song named ‘Only Learnt Bad Things’, composed by Wheesung.

[TRANS][NEWS] 110608 B1A4, exuding friendly charms as ‘countryside-dols’. Move aside ‘global-dols’!

Posted Image

신예 아이돌 B1A4(비원에이포)이 여느 아이돌 그룹과 달리 지방 출신으로 눈길을 끌고 있다.

해외파 멤버들이 포함된 ‘글로벌돌’이 대거 포진하고 있는 가요계에 멤버 전원이 지방 출신인 B1A4가 일명 ‘지방돌’로 등장해 친근한 매력을 발산하며 인기 상승세를 달리고 있는 것.

실제로 B1A4(비원에이포)의 멤버들은 세련된 비주얼의 외모와는 달리 리더 진영은 충북 충주, 신우는 충북 청주, 산들은 경남 부산, 바로는 전남 광주, 공찬은 전남 순천으로 5명 모두 지방 출신으로 일상 생활 속에서는 각 지역 사투리가 묻어나는 구수한 대화가 오고 간다는 후문이다.

B1A4 멤버들은 “멤버 중 유창하게 외국어를 구사하는 사람은 없지만 우리는 모두 유창한 사투리를 구사한다”라며 “어느 날 멤버들끼리 이야기를 하다가 같은 말도 지역마다 표현이 다르다는 걸 알고 만들어낸 일명 ‘방언놀이’를 스케줄 이동할 때나 대기 시간에 긴장을 풀기 위해 하는데 우리만 보기 너무 아까울 정도로 재미있어서 기회가 되면 많은 분들께 꼭 보여드리고 싶을 정도다”라고 전하며 ‘지방돌’로서의 면모를 과시했다.

또 현재 각 지역을 돌며 팬사인회를 열고 있는 B1A4는 자신들의 출신 지역에 갈 때 마다 열렬한 환영과 지지를 받고 있어 힘든 스케줄 속에서도 큰 힘을 얻고 있다고 전했다.

B1A4 소속사 관계자는 “멤버들 모두 어린 나이에 최고의 가수가 되겠다는 하나의 꿈을 안고 부모님 곁을 떠나 긴 합숙 생활을 지내왔다. 연습생 시절 부모님과 친구들이 그리워 힘들어한 적도 있었지만 자신들이 품은 큰 꿈을 향해 스스로 참고 견뎌낸 모습들이 대견스럽다”라며 “멤버들의 출신 지역에 갈 때마다 더 반갑게 맞아 주시는 팬 여러분들에게 감사드린다.”고 전했다.

한편 B1A4는 6월 중순 경 타이틀곡 ‘O.K’에 이은 후속 곡으로 활발한 활동을 이어가며 인기에 박차를 가할 예정이다.
Rookie group B1A4 has been receiving a lot of attention as the members come from the countryside, which is uncommon among idol groups.

In the Korean Pop scene, there are many groups with members from overseas who are called ‘Global-dol’s (Global + Idol). With all the members in B1A4 coming from the countryside, earning them the name ‘countryside-dol’s, they have been gaining popularity for the friendly charm they exude.

In reality, contrary to the polished looks of the B1A4 members, they are all from the countryside - Leader Jinyoung is from Chungbuk Chungju, CNU is from Chungbuk Cheongju, Sandeul is from Gyeongnam Busan, Baro from Jeollam Gwangju and Gongchan is from Jeollam Suncheon. There have been rumours that dialects from the various regions can be heard when the members converse daily.

According to the B1A4 members, “Although we don’t have members who are fluent in foreign languages, we are fluent in various Korean dialects. If you listen to the members converse, we sometimes express the same words in different forms according to where we’re from and we call it the ‘dialect game’. We play it on the way to our schedules or in the waiting room; it’s a pity that only we play it since it’s fun and if we have the chance, we hope we can show it to others”, showing that they are proud to be ‘countryside-dols’.

Also, B1A4 who is currently holding fansigns at various regions in Seoul receive very warm welcomes at their respective hometowns, which they say gives them strength during their tiring schedules.

B1A4’s company representatives said that “at their young age, the members who share the same dream of being singers, have left their parents’ sides to live in the dormitory. Ever since they were trainees, it has been difficult for them as they miss their parents and friends but we are proud to see how they each beared with it and worked towards the bigger dream in their hearts. We are thankful for the fans who greet the members more enthusiastically whenever we visit their hometowns.”

On another note, B1A4 is scheduled to promote their follow-up song after finishing promotions for ‘O.K’ in mid-June.

[NEWS][TRANS] U-Know Yunho - B1A4 Baro, ‘Special reunion’ of the senior & junior from the same hometown

“광주 어디냐잉” 유노윤호-B1A4 바로, 고향 선후배 ‘특별한 재회’

5인조 아이돌 그룹 B1A4(비원에이포)의 래퍼 바로(BARO)가 같은 광주 출신의 선배인 동방신기 유노윤호와 얽힌 특별한 인연을 소개했다.

최근 B1A4와 가진 인터뷰에서 바로는 “첫 방송 때, ‘무대에서 만나자’던 윤호 선배님과의 약속을 지키게 돼 너무 기뻤다”며 감격스런 사연을 전했다.

유노윤호에 대해 “이미 동방신기로 데뷔하기 전부터 광주에서 모르는 이가 없을 정도로 춤꾼으로 유명했다”고 전한 바로는 “그런 선배님을 서울에 올라온 뒤, 우연히 한 커피숍에서 만나게 돼 설레는 마음으로 다가갔다”고 회상했다.

당시 바로는 연습생 신분이었으며, 유노윤호에게 다가가 사인을 요청했다. 동방신기는 최고의 인기를 누리던 시기였지만, “광주 출신”이라는 바로의 말에 유노윤호는 학교와 지역을 물어보는 등 친절함을 보였다는 후문.

사인 CD에 남겨준 “나중에 무대에서 꼭 만나요!”라는 유노윤호와의 약속은 2년 후에 실현됐다.

바로는 “MBC ‘쇼! 음악중심’에서 BqA4의 첫 데뷔를 치르던 날, 행운처럼 윤호 선배님을 다시 만나게 됐다”며 “떨리는 마음으로 먼저 인사를 드렸는데, 저를 기억한다는 말에 표현할 수 없이 기뻤다”고 벅찬 감회를 전했다.

진 영(리더), 바로(랩), 산들(메인보컬), 신우(보컬), 공찬(보컬) 등 으로 구성된 B1A4는 첫 미니앨범 ‘렛츠 플라이(Let’s Fly)’의 데뷔곡 ‘O.K’를 발표하고 라이브형 아이돌로 주목받으며 인기 상승세를 누리고 있다.
Rapper of 5-membered idol group B1A4, Baro talked about his special bond with TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho, both of them coming from Gwangju.

In a recent interview with B1A4, Baro revealed a touching story. “I was really happy to be able to keep the promise of ‘Let’s meet on stage at your first broadcast’ with senior U-Know Yunho.”

Baro said that U-Know Yunho “was very famous in Gwangju, to the point that no one did not know who he was, even before his debut as part of TVXQ.” He recalled, “On my way up to Seoul, I encountered him by chance in a coffeshop, and approached him excitedly.”

At that time, Baro was a trainee, and he approached U-Know Yunho for an autograph. Even though TVXQ was at the peak of their popularity then, he showed much kindness to “Gwangju-born” Baro, and even asked him about his education and district (where he lived in).

On the autographed CD, he wrote “Let’s meet on stage in 2 years’ time”, and that promise was kept.

On the day of B1A4’s debut at MBC Music Core, as if like magic, Baro was able to meet senior Yunho again. He conveyed with much emotion, “I greeted him first with a nervous heart, and I cannot express how happy I was when he said he remembered me”.

B1A4 is made up of Jinyoung (leader), Baro (rap), Sandeul (main vocal), Shinwoo (vocal) and Gongchan (vocal). They are being noted as live-dols and are enjoying rising popularity with promotions of debut song ‘O.K’ from their first mini-album ‘Let’s Fly’.

[NEWS] 110527 B1A4 Sandeul shows off his vocal skills


B1A4 산들 “가요제로 다져진 실력” 보컬 실력 뽐내

[뉴스엔 고경민 기자]

B1A4(비원에이포) 메인보컬 산들이 환상적인 라이브 실력을 선보였다.

B1A4는 5월 27일 MBC 라디오 ‘신동 박규리의 심심타파’‘지금은 라이브 시대’ 코너에 출연, 타이틀곡 ‘OK’에 이어 산들 혼자 박효신의 ‘그 흔한 남자여서’를 라이브로 소화했다.

지난 3일 MBC 라디오‘박경림의 별이 빛나는 밤에 - 7분 초대석’ 이후 두 번째로 라디오를 통해 라이브 실력을 뽐낸 것.

특히 산들은 그 동안 무대에서 보여줬던 이미지와는 달리 분위기 있는 발라드 곡인 박효신의 곡을 선택해 더욱 눈길을 끌었다. 산들은 최근 뉴스엔과 인터뷰에서 “많은 가요제, 오디션에 지원하면서 어릴 적부터 가수의 꿈을 키웠다”고 밝히기도 했다.

방송을 듣고 있던 네티즌들은 실시간으로 “이 시간에 저런 라이브를 할 수 있다니 멤버들 모두 대단하다”, “산들군의 미친 라이브에 소름이 돋는다”, “발라드 부르는 산들에게서 또 다른 매력이 느껴진다” 등 글을 올리며 폭발적인 반응을 보였다.

또 B1A4는 함께 출연한 개그우먼 이국주와 함께 고정코너 1회 출연권을 두고 다양한 개인기를 선보여 숨겨져 있던 예능감을 유감없이 발휘했으며, 래퍼 ‘바로’가 5점을 건 마지막 대결에서 빅뱅의 ‘하루하루’를 정확하게 부르며 1등으로 올라서 2등인 신우와 함께 ‘심심타파’에 한 번 더 출연할 수 있는 기회를 얻어냈다.

한편 타이틀 곡 ‘OK’를 통해 활발한 활동을 펼치고 있는 B1A4는 27일 방송될 KBS ‘뮤직뱅크’에 출연한다. 28일에는 신나라 레코드 부산 서면점에서 네 번째 팬 사인회를 열고 지방 팬들과의 만남을 가질 예정이다.
B1A4’s main vocalist Sandeul displayed his fantastic skills in singing live.

On May 27th, B1A4 appeared on “This Is The Live Generation” corner on MBC Radio’s “Shindong’s & Park Gyuri’s Shimshimtapa.” After their title hit ‘O.K,’ Sandeul sang Park Hyoshin’s “Because I’m A Common Man” alone.

He was also able to show off his live vocal skills on MBC Radio’s “Park Kyunglim’s Starry Night - 7 minute Invitation” on the 3rd and two more times after that on the same show.

Because Sandeul chose Park Hyoshin’s ballad, which has a different atmosphere than the image he has been showing on stage, he is gaining even more attention. And on the recent Newsen interview, Sandeul revealed, “I participated in many competitions and auditions and have had a dream to become a singer since early childhood.”

During the break, netizens who were listening to the show had explosive reactions like, “Because they are able to sing live like that at this time means that they are all amazing.” “Sandeul’s crazy live performance makes me get goosebumps.” “Because he is singing a ballad, I see a different side of him.”

Comedian Lee Gookju also appeared on this show where B1A4 was able to show off their various, hidden talents fully. Rapper Baro was able to get 5 points in the last battle and became first place by accurately singing Big Bang’s “Haru Haru.” He and CNU, who came in 2nd place, won the opportunity to guest on ‘Shimshimtapa’ one more time.

Meanwhile, B1A4, who is vigorously promoting their title hit ‘O.K,’ is performing on KBS Music Bank on the 27th. On the 28th, they will have their 4th fan signing at Synnara Record in Busan Seomyeon and meet with fans in the area.

[NEWS] B1A4 on their debut, unusual nicknames, and future goals


It’s been a month since rookie boy group B1A4 debuted with their single album, “Let’s Fly“. Since then, they’ve been busily promoting their title track, “OK“, and holding fan signings with big turn outs.
The group’s rapper, Baro, stated, “It’s been about a month since our debut and there are already fans who recognize us. More people came to our fan signing than we expected, so we were all surprised. We promise to work hard so that we can show the public more of who we are.”
Leader Jinyoung added, “Thanks to our unique group name, fans have given us unique nicknames like ‘paper idols’ and ‘blood idols.’ Apparently, ‘paper idols’ comes from the fact that our name reminds them of A4 papers, and ‘blood idols’ comes from our blood types. We’re satisfied with the nicknames and glad that people are taking an interest in us.”

CNU continued, “Each of us has a different charm. Baro is good at voice imitations and beatboxing, while Sandeul and Jinyoung are good at cooking. Gongchan may seem cool, but he has a lot of aegyo. Baro and I have taken an interest in writing and composing lately, so we’re practicing very hard.”
Overall, the group endured two years of training, which helped foster their relationship as a team.
Main vocalist Sandeul revealed, “At our dorm, we play speed games or bingo together. These days, we’re busy rehearsing when we have free time, but playing games with the other members is one of my biggest joys in life these days outside of training.”
Now that they’ve made a successful debut, what do they hope for in the future?
Maknae Gongchan replied, “I want everyone in our nation to be able to recognize us. I promise to work hard to make that goal come true.”
Jinyoung concluded, “We consider g.o.d. as our mentors. Their music was great and they’re loved for such a long time still. We’re determined to work hard with everything we’re given.”

B1A4(비원에이포)의 막내 공찬이 KBS ‘뮤직뱅크’의 MC 현우와 닮은꼴로 화제가 되고 있다.

공찬은 데뷔 직후 팬들 사이에서 ‘뮤직뱅크’ MC 현우의 도플갱어로 불리며 인터넷 게시판에 두 사람의 사진을 편집해 올리는 등 관심을 보여왔었다.

그러던 중 지난 13일 ‘뮤직뱅크’ 현장에서 김호상 PD가 찍은 사진이 트위터에 올라오면서 공찬과 현우의 닮은꼴은 더욱 화제를 불러일으켰다.

‘뮤직뱅크 MC 현우와 완전 닮은꼴을 공개합니다. 쌍둥이 같은 주인공은 바로 B1A4의 공찬! 스탭들 깜놀이었음다’라는 글과 함께 올라온 뮤직뱅크 PD의 트위터 사진 속 공찬과 현우는 이목구비와 얼굴 형, 머리 스타일, 특히 웃는 모습이 똑같아 마치 거울을 보고 있는 듯한 느낌을 주고 있다.

공찬과 현우가 함께 있는 사진을 본 네티즌들 “누가 공찬이고 현우인지 헷갈릴 정도다.” “제작진도 인정한 진정한 도플갱어!” “가끔 뮤뱅 볼 때 공찬이 MC를 보고 있는 건가 싶을 때도 있다.” 등의 글을 남기며 관심을 보이고 있다.

B1A4(비원에이포)의 소속사 측은 “데뷔 전부터 공찬이 현우씨와 닮았다는 생각은 하고 있었지만 함께 찍은 사진을 보니 놀라울 따름이다. 이렇게 많은 관심 가져주시는 팬 여러분들께 감사 드린다.”고 전했다.

한편, 지난 주말 생애 첫 팬 사인회를 갖고 팬들과 함께 하는 시간을 가졌던 B1A4(비원에이포)는 오는 21일 오후 7시 30분 교보문고 핫트랙스 영등포점(타임스퀘어 아트리움 1층 원형무대)에서 다시 한 번 팬 사인회를 가질 예정이며, 오는 19일 7시 반 Y-STAR의 ‘LIVE POWER MUSIC’ 녹화와 21일 MBC ‘음악중심’, 22일 SBS ‘인기가요’에 출연하는 등 활동을 이어갈 예정이다.

Following up to that, on the 13th, at the waiting room of ‘Music Bank’, Kim Ho Sang PD took a photo of them together which showed their resemblance and posted the picture on his twitter.

‘He totally looked like ‘Music Bank’ MC Hyunwoo to the public. The twin which looked exactly like him was none other than B1A4’s Gongchan! The staff were also shocked at the resemblance.’ these discussion started from the tweet PD posted. In the picture, Gongchan and Hyunwoo’s face shape, hair style, and especially their smile looks totally alike. It’s like the feeling when you look into a mirror.

The photo which had Gongchan and Hyunwoo received comments from netizens like “I can’t even tell who is Gongchan and who is Hyunwoo.”,”They really look like each other’s doppelganger!”,”Sometimes when I watch music bank, there are times when I wanted Gongchan to be the MC.”

[TRANS][NEWS] A White Book of Fantastic Boy Groups

H.O.T.와 젝스키스가 활동하던 시절, ‘오빠’는 ‘아이돌’의 다른 이름이었다. 당시에는 고등학생이 가수 활동을 한다는 사실만으로도 파격이었지만 동방신기와 빅뱅, 2PM과 샤이니를 거치며 아이돌의 연령대는 점점 낮아져 이제는 심심찮게 중학생 ‘오빠’들도 TV에 등장한다. 하지만 어제 예능 프로그램에서 본 눈웃음이 귀여운 그 소년이 궁금하다면, 혹은 퇴근길 라디오에서 흘러나온 미성의 주인공이 더 알고 싶다면 <10 아시아>가 준비한 ‘판타스틱 보이그룹 백서’를 참고삼아 여덟 팀의 신인 보이그룹에 한 발 더 다가가 보자. 오빠와 삼촌들을 위한 자매품 ‘걸 그룹의 은하수를 여행하는 히치하이커를 위한 안내서’도 준비되어 있다.

학점? 아니죠. 종이 사이즈? 아닙니다
데뷔: 2011년 4월 23일. EP앨범 < Let’s Fly >. 타이틀 곡 ‘O.K’
그룹명 의미: 공식적으로는 ‘Be the one, All for one’의 약자로 ‘5명이 하나가 되어 최고가 된다’는 의미. 하지만 혈액형이 B형인 멤버 1명, A형인 멤버가 4명이기 때문이라는 소문도 있다.

“너만 있으면 O.K”라는 메시지를 담은 데뷔곡 ‘O.K’는 어딘가 90년대 댄스곡을 연상케 하고, 의상 또한 다소 촌스럽고 산만하지만 B1A4의 무대에 채널을 고정하게 만드는 힘은 이들의 샤방샤방한 미모에서 나온다. 최근 등장한 아이돌 중에서도 평균 미모 수준이 상당히 높은 꽃미남 그룹인 데다 최근 신우가 트위터에 “어린이날 기념 찜질방~♬ BARO 힙합양머리ㅋㅋ”라는 멘트와 함께 전 멤버들이 수건으로 양머리를 만들어 쓰고 있는 사진을 올리는 등 깜찍함으로 어필 중이다.

특이사항: 데뷔 전 티저 웹툰 ‘다섯 개의 수다’를 통해 먼저 알려짐.
The days of H.O.T and Sech Kies, from the name of “Oppa” it became “Idol”. Initially, only high school students debuted as a singer. However, TVXQ, Big Bang, 2PM and SHINeedebuted with a younger age range of middle school students. “Oppa’s have also been featured on TV. But, on yesterday’s variety program, there was curiosity about cute boys, and especially after hearing them on the radio, we wanted to know more about their immature characters, <10asia> who prepared the “Fantastic Boy Group White paper” which would feature 8 new boy groups. And for the oppas and uncles, “Girl Group’s Galaxy Hitchhiker’s Guide to Traveling” will be prepared.

Credits? No. Paper Size? Not.
Debut: 2011/4/23. EP Album <Let’s Fly>. Title track “O.K”
Group name meaning: Officially, it means “Be the one, All for one” which meant “All five people working together as one”. But, the group name also consist of their blood types. They have 1 B-blood type member and 4 A-blood type members.

“So long as I have you, its O.K” explains the title track “O.K” which is a reminiscent of the 90s dance music but also with a bit of corny and distracting outfits. However, this helpedB1A4 have a good stage, making to channel the power of their beauty which comes from their Shining Shining look. Among recent emergence of Idols, they have significantly made a higher average level of beauty, with many groups full of handsome people. On twitter, CNUposted, “A memorable day, ~♬ BARO Hip-hop sheep style keke” with a picture of the members making their towels into a sheep style. It appealed to many people, making many comments.
