K-POP FANTASY: It's B.A.P., Yes, Sir!

B.A.P.

• The 6-member idol boy group B.A.P. which stands for Best. Absolute. Perfect of TS Entertainment could be consider the rookie monster idol group for 2012. 
• They debuted last year alongside with the talented EXO of SM and BTOB from Cube Entertainment.
  
• What made them a rookie monster for that year? They achieved 24 awards from different awards giving bodies including the 'Best Male Rookie' in 2013 Gaon Chart K-pop Awards, 'New Rising Star (Digital)' in 2013 Golden Disk Awards, 'Rookie of the Year' in 2012 Melon Music Awards, and 'Best New Artist' in 2013 Seoul Music Awards.
  
• They released three single albums (Warrior, Power, and Stop It) plus a repackaged album (Crash) within a year and 9 songs with music videos since their debut.
  
  
  
  
• B.A.P. performed their very first solo concert in Seoul, South Korea at Seoul Olympic Park Hall last February 23-24, 2013 entitled B.A.P. Live on Earth Seoul.
• They also started their world tour entitled B.A.P. Live on Earth Pacific last May 7, 2013. Countries they performed [and will be performing] include USA, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and mainland China. 
• A fan of B.A.P. is called as Baby.
  
  
  
• So what made me a Baby? 
• "Who are these blonde guys who act like gangsters?" "They would not be popular for sure because you can't even differentiate one from another" "Gosh! They all really look alike!"
• I admit that words were the nasty comments I said when I first saw B.A.P.'s MV for Warrior. I thought they were just six boys for a common idol group who sing and dance.
• Then they proved me that I was [sooooo] wrong. 
• After watching Youtube videos that featured BigBang, my biased idol group before. I accidentally clicked the MV of B.A.P.'s No Mercy. 
• Watching the MV made me think of who are these guys and I searched other videos that featured them.
• I got surprised when I learned that they are the same blonde guys I have watched on MTV couple months ago... 
• ...then a Baby [fan] was born within me. Ha!
• I again watched the 10-episode pre-debut reality show Ta-dah! It's B.A.P. on Youtube which was already aired on MTV. 
• The show made me admired them more and helped me to know them individually. After watching the show, I can easily pinpoint who is who. ^^
• For me, B.A.P. had the best promotions last year as rookie idol. They made multiple comebacks which show their versatility music wise. 
  
• They also have their Matoki logo which I love!
• Now let's meet the 6 members of the group.

  

  Bang YongGuk (23)

• BANG YONG-GUK (March 31, 1990) -leader, rapper and songwriter.
• Yongguk is my biased member in B.A.P. Why?
• Yongguk is very talented, charismatic and adorable.
  
• He was formerly known as Jepp Blackman, an underground hip-hop rapper. 
• All his songs as Jepp reflect how Yongguk is a very talented young artist for his age.
• He had this cute smile which shows his gum that I find adorable and innocent.
• A slimmed man with masculine body and a sexy deep voice.
• He is also the most popular among the group not only because he was already performing in underground hip-hop but also because he got the first experienced in mainstream through featuring in Song Jieun's Going Crazy and releasing  his own song with MV 'I Remember' that featured Yang Yoseob of B2ST .

  

  Kim Himchan (23)

• KIM HIMCHAN (April 19,1990)-sub-vocalist and visual
• He has an ulzzang handsome face and among the Babys he was considered as the 'mother' of the group and Yongguk as the 'father'.

  

  BangHim Couple <3

  
• He got talent in playing korean traditional instrument and very good in speaking which he shown in hosting the SBS MTV Show last 2011. 
• Though Channie is not too talented in terms of singing and dancing, he is an important piece for B.A.P. and he knows how to give enjoyable fan service with his aegyo.

  

  Jung Daehyun (19)

• JUNG DAEHYUN (June 28, 1993) - main vocalist
• He is the handsome Busan boy who made the climatic parts of every B.A.P. songs really awesome!
• He can hit high notes and sing a song with full of emotions. 
  
• Love to see this guy in Immortal Song to show more what he got.
• He loves food and he is a silent talkative. Hehe. 
• And Daehyun is also my second biased in the group.

  

  Yoo Yongjae (19)

• YOO YONGJAE (January 24, 1994) - lead vocalist
• Same with Daehyun, I also admired Yongjae's voice but he is more into RNB style.
• Yongjae is considered the smartest in the group.
  
• For me, he also had the best English pronunciation among the members.
• I also love to see him in Immortal Song because I know he can nail it

  

  The voices of B.A.P.  <3

  

  Moon Jongup (18)

• MOON JONG UP (February 6, 1995) - main dancer and sub-vocalist
• This silent B-boy member of B.A.P. is very innocent but got the best moves.
• I hoped that he could be given more singing lines because only a little voice training would help him be more confident at it.
  
• I really can say much about Jongup because he is the most quiet in the group during TV shows guesting. He is not reserved but the I think he is the most shy. 

  

  Zelo (16)

• CHOI JUN HONG (October 15, 1996 16)- maknae, lead rapper and lead dancer.
• He is the only member who had screen name which is ZELO.
• He is one of the tallest idols today and also one of the most talented young idols.
  
• He popularized the LTE rap from their songs and the maknae also can also really dance.
• Zelo is very cute and he reminds of Kim Woobin in terms of face and height.
• He is also my third biased in the group.
• I'm 5 years older than him so I can't call him 'Oppa' same with Daehyun, Yongjae, and Jongup. :((( 

  

  The two youngests: Zelo & Jongup

• Though I have favorites in the group, I love all the members. 
• They are perfect for B.A.P.
• Together they complete what B.A.P. should be.
• As a rookie group who only debuted a year ago, it's something to be proud of. 
• They have done lots of things in a span of one year that other groups including their same batch  and/or seniors could have not done.
• I just hope that these 6 charismatic guys really enjoy what they are doing despite of their hectic schedule.
• I want them to have a long good rest vacation then make a comeback [full album] with a BANG!
• They will be the BEST group!
• They are ABSOLUTELY talented!
• They will always be PERFECT for all the Babys in the world.

  

  We are the B.A.P.! Yes, Sir!

• B.A.P. Fighting!!!
