[B.A.P Twitter Q&A]
About the members
Q: This is a question for all the members. What do you like about the other members? (a body part)
Youngjae: Zelo’s height.
Zelo: I want to take Jongup’s upper body. (laughs) Though I think a dancer’s body changes the impression their dance gives, I want a body that moves like Jongup’s.
Daehyun: I also like Jongup’s body. His six-pack! I don’t have that…I have a one pack, (laughs).
Himchan: I also like Jongup’s body! Because he has a really great body. Aside from his face, I’d like to switch everything with him, (laughs).
Jongup: (I like) Himchan’s face. It’d be good if we could both make that switch (laughs).
Himchan: Just keep our souls, right? (laughs).
Yongguk: (I like) Himchan’s mind. Thought I do love my mind (laughs). Mine and Himchan’s thinking are 180’s of each others, so I feel like I’d like to try living with his way of thinking sometimes.
Q: Hello. This is a question for all members aside from Jongup. He’s famous for being really clueless, please let me ask the members what episode of Jongup’s cluelessness made you laugh. Please!!
Zelo: I don’t notice it normally, but during interviews I think he becomes really clueless.
Daehyun: Rather than acting clueless, what he says and the way he thinks are really pure. His face might look really clueless so you might think he’s a bit dumb, but he’s a really good, pure kid.
Himchan: Rather then being clueless, he seems a bit out of it. Jongup sleeps a lot, usually when we’re moving (in a vehicle) he is asleep, but we’ve gone to work and left him sleeping before. No one woke him up, (laughs).
Jongup: I was upset (laughs). When I opened my eyes, there was no one there. It was like I went to another world alone. After that our manager came to get me though.
Himchan: He got made and asked why none of us woke him up (laughs). Didn’t you also lose your passport before?
Jongup: that was Youngjae. I’ve never lost mine!
About Music
Q: Are there Japanese songs you like?
Himchan: Orange Range’s “Ikenai Taiyou.” (He started singing here…) “Ikenai taiyou, nanannanna~nana~. I used to listen to it a lot. Also songs by ELLEGARDEN.
Jongup: The opening to “Attack on Titan” anime. Put together with the animation it’s really cool. The manga I’m into most right now is also “Attack on Titan,” with the new one I couldn’t sleep since I was reading it…
Himchan: I also like Japanese manga so I read a lot. The writer I like is the creator of “Paradise Kiss” Ai Yazawa. It’s a girl’s manga but I like Yazawa-san’scool drawings and the story is good. “Neighbourhood Story” is also good. Even in B.A.P we talk about girl’s manga (laughs). I watch dramas a lot too. Dramas like “Stand Up!” and “Code Blue: Doctor Heli”, “Engine” and I know a lot of others.
Q: Up until now, what has been your favourite (B.A.P) song?
Jongup: Lately it’s “Coffee Shop.” It’s perfect for this season.
Himchan: At this time it’s “Coffee shop” for me too, I think, but the song that I like to sing live most is “Excuse Me.” It’s fun.
Q: What is something you are interested in, or something you want to try?
Yongguk: The release date hasn’t been decided yet, but since we’re preparing our new album I’ve been thinking a lot about music. I’ve been making music all of this year.
Himchan: I have a great interest in music. I want to try and make music and dances, I’m interested in that sort of creativity.
About Girls
Q: This is a question for B.A.P! If you spent a day escorting a Japanese Baby, where would you take her?
Zelo: To the “Hannamdon” near our agency in Korea. I’d guide her around the convenience store. (laughs)
Yongguk: The dorm. Since we have only 1 day, I’d have her feel my love as we make lasting memories. Ah, but actually the room’s messy so we’d have to clean it together (laughs).
Daehyun: I’m from Busan, so I’d take her to experience things Busan is famous for. We’d eat “Dejikupa,” (Sound made with pork and stewed pork bones with rice, a famous dish in Busan) I’d also want to take her to Haeundae and Gwanganri.
Youngjae: I was born and raised in Korea, but there are many places in Korea I haven’t been to. Japanese people have a similar situation, so I’d like to choose the places to go to in Japan together.
Jongup: Disney World. Go to an amusement park, and have fun playing together.
Himchan: Not somewhere I want to go, but where she wants to be taken too (laughs). We’d keep eating on a food fight tour. I love eating, and I heard that Japan is a country particular about it’s food. I can’t guide her (in Japan), so we’d talk about it together…By eating a country’s food you come to learn that country’s culture, don’t you think? (to Jongup) Do you get it?
Jongup: (in Japanese) “Naruhodo.” (I see).
Everyone: (explosive laughter).
About Private Lives
Q: This is a question for everyone in B.A.P! What are your shoe sizes? (in Japanese size).
Yongguk: 26cm
Himchan: 27cm
Daehyun: 26.5cm
Youngjae: 26cm
Jongup: 26.5cm
Zelo: 27cm
Q: What flavor of Ice cream do you like?
Zelo: Häagen-Dazs. The strawberry one with cookie in it!
Youngjae: Cookies & Cream. I also like Dippin’ Dots ice cream. I always eat ice cream after eating.
Daehyun: Cookies & Cream. After a music show, when we go to the convenience store or the supermarket I eat it often.
Yongguk: Whatever I eat the taste is the same, so anything’s fine. It’s all the same once it’s in my mouth (laughs).
Jongup: Chocolate. The Caramel Vanilla cookie one we had yesterday was good too! I love ice cream, and sweets, and I love tako yaki too!
Himchan: Say that in Japanese!
Jongup: (in Japanese) Häagen-Dazs is awesome! (“hanpajyanai!”)
Everyone: (Explosive laughter).
Jongup: They have Häagen-Dazs in Korea but not that many flavors!
Q: What is a food you can eat without getting sick of?
Zelo: Water.
Yongguk: I can eat anything without getting sick of it.
Youngjae: Ice-cream. (in Japanese) Meals and sweets are different…um? ah, “Betsu Bara" ("Extra/Second Stomach," used to explain when people can still eat sweets even if they are full after a meal) (laughs)
Himchan: I used to like chicken, but lately, um…Before this, in one month I’d use 5,000,000 won ($50) to buy chicken.
Q: What do you do when you are traveling by plane or car?
Yongguk: When I’m writing songs, I’m listening to a lot of music, but otherwise I’m sleeping.
Zelo: Writing notes for practice, and writing thoughts and feelings down. When we have wi-fi, I search about fashion, and listen to music.
Youngjae: I usually sleep. Other times I watch movies or listen to music on the iPad.
Himchan: I sleep, (laughs). The plane ride here to Japan was not very long so I slept and it was over. When we went to America, I slept then woke up and there was still time, so I watched movies, but I slept for about 6 hours. In Korea too, when we’re in the car I’m usually asleep.
Jongup: I also sleep. If it’s for a long time, I watch movies or something.
About Japan
Q: What was the first thing you ate when you got to Japan?
Youngjae: After first arriving, we went to Hara Juku from the airport and ate at Marion Crepe and Jyangara Ramen. There are so many flavours of crepes!
Daehyun: I ate ice-cream. I ate it at the same place that sold the crepes.
Q: What has been the most difficult Japanese so far?
Zelo: I don’t remember any difficult ones (laughs)
Daehyun: For pronunciation, the “tsu,” “jay,” “wo” sounds. Because of the “Tsu” pronunciation, our recording took a long time.
Youngjae: The Japanese teacher we had loved cars so he had us practice the “tsu” sound by saying “Bentz.” That teacher really likes cars (laughs).
Q: Is there somewhere in Japan you want to go?
Yongguk: Odaiba.
Jongup: If we have time, anywhere. We haven’t gone anywhere yet.
Himchan: When watching Japanese movies and drama, the everyday is really nice, various cute things. I’d want to see stuff like that. Jongup and I both like Japanese movies and though we had practice the other day, we woke up early to watch “ima, ai ni yukimasu" (I’m going to meet you now"). That’s why I want to see that side of Japan.
Q: What surprised you about Japan?
Himchan: I have to say this! The other day, when we appeared on a radio program that showed on Ustream, I answered “All our fans!” when asked about a girlfriend, then used both arms to make a heart by placing my hands on my head, saying “I love you~~” but the DJ asked “Why are you impersonating a monkey?” I didn’t know the Japanese for “Monkey” at that time, so I said “Because it’s her/them, it’s ok.” I didn’t realize it had that kind of meaning and was surprised. Fans probably understood me, but I wouldn’t like it if other people seeing that were upset by it…That was a heart, please write that down!
Yongguk: Discipline. Everyone in Japan is always well mannered, and I really want to thank everyone for watching out for us.
Youngjae: Japanese are kind. When we did an appearance on a variety show, during filming all the staff were very mindful of public etiquette. When we were driving our vehicle stopped suddenly, but the cars behind waited patiently rather than blowing their horns, that left an impression on me.
Jongup: I wasn’t expecting it, but Japanese food really agrees with me!
Himchan: (in Japanese) That’s why you got fat.
Jongup: Seems that way. Curry and meat tastes good. There are so many varieties of sweets. Crepes are delicious!
Himchan: Normally, Jongup doesn’t think much about what he’s eating. Since coming to Japan though he really appreciates food. (Imitating Jongup’s voice) “Hyung, this tastes really delicious!” is what he’ll say, (laughs)
Q: What Japanese have you memorized lately?
Yongguk: “I’ve never been one for speaking, please don’t mind me.”
Youngjae: “Multiply/Double.” Also that other word “Okagetsu?"…no, I mean "bets bars!" (Second stomach).
Q: Congratulations on your Japan debut, what was the first thing you bought when you got here?
Zelo: Clothes. We shopped in Shibuya, I bought an umbrella, T-shirt, parka with a hood, and some other things.
Yongguk: Ramen at a convenience store (laughs). After that, clothes.
Jongup: When we were shopping in Shibuya, Yongguk bought me shoes! I haven’t bought anything with my own money yet.
Himchan: Yongguk also bought a bag for me. He bought something for Zelo, Jongup and I. Because the other members couldn’t come shopping with us…I also haven’t bought anything with my own money yet. We usually don’t have much time (to shop)…
Q: What do you want Japanese fans to call you?
Yongguk: Papa / dad / daddy, (laughs). That’s because Babys are all my daughters…I’m honored, (laughs).
Hicmhan: “Himchan”
Jongup: Anything’s ok. Something easy to say…(laughs). “Jongup” is hard to pronounce so depending on the person the way the different ways they call me is interesting. The one that I remember most was “Chris Brow-Up” since I like Chris Brown, (laughs).
