📷 Cosmopolitan: B1A4 Interview for Origine "The Tenacity of a 10-Year Idol Group, B1A4"

What does the original intention of a 10-year-old idol group look like? B1A4 reveals their true intentions in a pledge to show more restraint in their desire to show more and perform better.

Q: It’s been exactly 3 years and 1 month since your comeback. This is the first album worked on by just the three of you, and for Shinwoo, it’s his first activity after being discharged from the military. It must be very meaningful and also quite burdensome.

Shinwoo: "I feel quite sorry. I'm concerned that fans may have found it hard waiting during the 3-year hiatus. Accordingly, we've prepared a lot. In fact, there was a lot we wanted to show with this album, and we were quite ambitious. However, it felt necessary to restrain ourselves, especially at a time like this, in line with our experience. Especially since this album is meant to show the direction B1A4 will take going forward, it holds more significance and is more important. You'll probably feel Gongchan's strong presence. As the youngest of the team, he used to rely on the older members, but this time, he voiced his opinions more and was more involved. Sandeul is our main vocalist, but I hoped the main vocalist role could vary depending on the song within B1A4, and it was well reflected in this album."

Sandeul: "The role of the main vocalist is quite burdensome. I know all the members' abilities, and unavoidably, I stood out more in terms of singing on stage. Sometimes, when it gets too tough, I joke, "Shinwoo, you sing instead." Now, having started to create our own songs, it feels like we have become a group that can sing in harmony. Just like Shinwoo said, while we practice restraint, we believe it's necessary to show our audacity and tenacity through our lyrics, melodies, and the overall mood."

Gongchan: "This album wasn’t made by one person alone; all the members worked on it together, and that made the process very joyful."

Q: As a singer in your tenth year since debut, is there a song you wish had been more highlighted that perhaps would have been better received if released now?

Sandeul: I really like the song 'Nightmare.' I even mentioned to Shinwoo during this album's preparation that it would be great to make a song like this. I think it could also be a good title track now.

Gongchan: The song 'Seoul' is very charming. It’s not too provocative, and wherever you listen to it, you can feel its unique sentiment. It's especially nice to listen to by the Han River.

Shinwoo: It’s a bit embarrassing that both of them mentioned songs I wrote. Haha.

Sandeul: Shinwoo writes songs that are fun for the singer to perform. He also wrote this album’s title track.

Q: People often say that an artist’s sensitivity dulls after military service, but it seems that wasn’t the case for you, Shinwoo?

Shinwoo: Of the tracks on the album, I wrote three before enlisting and five during the later part of my military service. From private to senior private, there wasn't really time to write, and my sensitivity decreased. It was really hard right after I was discharged, and we decided to release an album because nothing came to mind. Military life does accumulate experience, but it's limited in providing inspiration to an artist. The repetitive daily routine simplifies your thoughts. But what was the question again?

Q: What changes have the two members noticed in Shinwoo before and after his military service?

Sandeul: It’s funny, he just asked, "What was the question?"—that used to be my line, but now he’s using it. There are times I wonder, "Why is he acting like this?"

Gongchan: He might have been very lonely in the military because he talks a lot more now. Ha ha.

Shinwoo: I really had a lot I wanted to say during those two years.

Q: I've seen older idols with many years of experience express sadness about being treated as outdated due to their age. This must be an unavoidable topic for B1A4 as well.

Shinwoo: Everyone wants to be noticed and show something new, so it's inevitable to be conscious of it. However, we are confident that with each album release, we generate as much anticipation as any other group. We believe B1A4 has its own symbolic presence and a unique image, which somewhat frees us from those concerns.

Sandeul: People often talk about returning to their original intention. It might not be possible to be exactly as we were at the beginning, but it’s something to reconsider. The reason I mentioned audacity earlier is because I don't want to lose the spirit we had in our early twenties, when we knew nothing and still sang and danced with audacity. If we maintain our original intention, I think we won't be shaken by what people say.

Q: B1A4's greeting slogan is 'Let's Fly.' Is there still a higher place for you to soar?

Sandeul: We are a work in progress. Ha ha. I actually gain strength when we say, "Let's fight on!" I believe that if you say something with your heart, it will certainly come true. I believe in the power of words.

Q: Having spent your teens and twenties together, the members must mean more than just colleagues to each other, right?

Shinwoo: I bet everything on this, but I consider these guys my family. There's no one else I can speak so openly with. I can expose my flaws around them without worry, and we rely on each other more often than we see our own families.

Gongchan: We're closer than family, so now it seems impossible to part ways.

Sandeul: That's why I'm currently worried. People around us say we should maintain professional boundaries with colleagues, but we are so comfortable and close that it sometimes feels unsettling because we are so close.

Shinwoo: We don't need to worry about that because we're a team. If you do well, the team does well, and the team needs to do well for you to do well.

Q: Sandeul, you've been very active in solo activities, including being a radio DJ and appearing on various variety shows. It seems possible that young people might only know Sandeul and not B1A4.

Sandeul: Even when I'm doing solo activities, I always introduce myself as "B1A4 Sandeul." There might be times during B1A4's hiatus when people remember me just as Sandeul, but I don’t want that.

Shinwoo: I wanted the two members to be active and develop their personal capacities further. I thought that would be good for the team. So, I pushed them a lot.

Gongchan: When doing solo activities, we provide more support and concern. We comfort and take care of each other while monitoring each other’s activities.

Q: Gongchan, you're currently acting in the drama "Lonely Enough to Love" How do you think his acting is?

Shinwoo: The character 'Junghoon' that Gongchan plays has a subtle atmosphere that wouldn’t have been easy to portray, but he does it. It's unfamiliar, but I think he's doing well. Gongchan, being the youngest of the team, shows a manly and mature side in the drama. In reality, he’s meticulous and often serves as a stabilizer between Sandeul and me.

Sandeul: Watching Gongchan act on TV feels so surreal. I find myself saying, "He's so handsome," and "He's doing so well."

Q: The fans of B1A4 have grown up as much as you have. Your thoughts on the fans and their significance might have changed over time.

Sandeul: It's a bit surprising when fans who used to tell me, "I got into college," or "I got a job," now say, "I'm getting married." I have various thoughts, but to me, BANA (the fan club name) is just BANA. It’s similar to the past. Just as BANA looks at us, when I think of BANA, I’m reminded of our debut. They are still cute and I’m thankful.

Gongchan: Being a ten-year-old group, I feel like I'm living life with BANA. It's happy to be able to share strength and various emotions with each other. I'm also looking forward to the time we will continue to spend together.

Shinwoo: In the past, when I thought of fans, I felt gratitude and joy, but nowadays, I find myself tearing up. I don’t know why exactly, but I'm so grateful that fans remain with us, thinking about our songs and reminiscing, 'My first idols are doing well.'

Q: As trainees, you had goals like debuting, then winning first place on music shows after debut. What are B1A4's goals now?

Shinwoo: I think it's everyone's goal, but we want to be together for a long time. We watched a performance by senior Nahoon last Chuseok, and I messaged the members, who were also watching. If someone like him can show such passion, what's our ten years? Our goal is to keep active for a very long time, like senior Nahoon, and it’s the toughest challenge. At the same time, we want to shape the title B1A4 well. It carries people’s memories and our lives, so we want to nurture and cherish this name.

Q: What do you hope to achieve with this album?

Sandeul: The goal itself was for the three of us to release an album, and we've already achieved that.

Shinwoo: I hope to hear from fans watching our stage that they're happy to say, "Our brothers are back."

[shinwoosmile]

@shinwhoohoo said: @iroseo omg I’d love to know your choices if you feel like it/have the time! But anyways, honestly same I could have easily made a top 10 Sandeul solo performance post too ;;; he’s just so so talented, it’s insane.

listing and comparing with you my favorite things about b1a4? i could do this forever lmao

Sandeul solo, Just the two of us from Amazing Store in Seoul 201308: oh i just realized you chose gongchan's solo from this concert.. I just really like the original song with baro and love this cover too. tbh this concert is full of great performances, when they do bling girl with the instruments? love it too..

What's Going On? from KMF 20131231: Same as you, fun song and performance, I think baro and shinwoo kill it (i also like the fuzzy coat on baro???? what is this sorcery). also this was the performance that planted the idea that i NEED a pure rock song by shinwoo, I will probably never get it and it makes me sad

Sandeul Solo, Emergency Room from King of Masked Singer 20150412: I wish we could get an album by him more in this style, the songs in his albums tend to be more.... sweet and simple? and there's nothing wrong with that but an album more like something from Sung Si Kyung would be nice

Wait from Adventure Concert 2015: I mean, i already said many times that wait is just up there for me.. just the slow start with baro's soft deep voice and then slowly building up before stoping for a little bit and then start again to just go full emotion. i also like that they go and sit with the crowd? love seeing the faces of fellow banas just so close to losing it lol can relate

Sandeul duo, The Road from Duet Song Festival 20160506: I was between this one and Companion, but while I love companion, there is something about this performance that I just enjoy more, it might be the less serious tone of the performance and the way he enjoys himself (that little rap is so cute)

CNU Solo, Once again this night from King of Masked Singer 20160918: LOVE this solo, i like his deeper voice i think he has a really, mmhhh, calming? effect.. and I also think that he should have won this, his parts sound amazing (but i'm biased lmao)

Before It Gets Any Sadder from Immortal Songs 2 20161217: this one might be my favorite live performance from them? I just love the energy so much. that little train they do at the middle of the song? it's so fucking cute. also to whoever decided the distribution of the lines, thank you (it's interesting that when they cover a song it's usually sandeul and shinwoo the ones who sing the most? same thing happened with Eternity, kinda surprised jy doesn't sing more)

Sandeul duo with DinDin, Breathe from Show Music core 20191207: Love love love this duo, i think both sound lovely and complement each other great.

This Song from You Heeyeol’s Sketchbook 20201030: b1a4 making a cover of a 2am song? sign me up. gongchan's mistake that led to shinwoo and everyone losing it and then the little harmonization at the end?????

Adore you from Live Lounge B1A4 Fanmeeting 20211011: another sweet performance and I will always be soft for sandeul and shinwoo just looking at gongchan with proud eyes (also while technically not part of the performance that first part where they are just chilling while the instrumental plays is comforting)

hii peach! thank you for the shinwoo scenario, I loved it!! what are some of your favorite headcanons that you've thought of? (could be for anyone)

Hi!! I assume this is the sweet shinwoo anon 🥰 I'm so glad u liked it!

Oh gosh, let's see 🤔 guess I'll just rattle off a few that come to mind~

-Wonpil is the biggest Baby Boy™ and loves to wear a collar, lingerie, whatever you want, and do as you ask

-Changkyun jerks off every day; it relaxes him and is a part of his daily routine. He also fucking loves to have his partner sit on his face.

-Ten and Yuta both have dick piercings (don't tell me u can't imagine this). Ten I'm going with a Prince Albert or ampallang and Yuta a frenum.

-Shinwoo has a larger than average dick, certainly thicker than average, and boy does he know how to use it.

-Lucas sets little goals for himself that he wants to achieve, a sort of sex bucket list, and gets really excited when presented with opportunities to check something off of it.

-Jooheon has a corruption kink and loves being the one to introduce you to new things and see you become a dirty girl just for him.

-Jinjin wants to be at one end of a spitroast so badly, but first he has to find someone to be at the other end and also propose the idea to you, which he's shy to do.

-Moonbin's a voyeur; loves go just sit back and see where things go.

-Yoongi has a very guarded personality, so in the bedroom, sensory deprivation is quite appealing. It helps him to relax to put things into someone else's hands, but only if it's someone he really trusts already. Otherwise it would just make him anxious.

-Dojoon is very protective of you, and thus loves to cum inside you, so he can really feel like you're his. Although he also loves to tease you when you're in public, so he always sneaks in a hickey someplace visible.

Ask me for some headcanons!

B1A4 CNU & GONGCHAN ANNOUNCE COMEBACK FOR SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR!

B1A4 announced the release of a new album.

In 'Lunch Attack', which aired on Naver NOW on the 3rd, B1A4 members Shinwoo and Gongchan were the first guests of the 2023 New Year.

On this day's broadcast, Danny Ahn said, "I prepared us today to learn more about CNU and Gongchan’s 2023" and, "'Your word to describe 2023'”. “In 2023, I asked you to select the four most important keywords for me.”

CNU explained the keyword of ‘passion’, saying, “Originally, I was a style full of fighting spirit, but last year, my fighting spirit did drop a little.”

At his words, Danny Ahn asked why he used the keyword ‘B1A4′, and CNU replied, "It's natural, and I can assure fans that a B1A4 album can be released this year with a certainty." "So I think I wrote the keyword B1A4." .

Danny Ahn asked, “When should you say?” and CNU said, “When should I say... The second half [of the year]?” Gongchan said, “When Sandeul comes out [of the army]. It’s the second half,” he said. CNU said, “It comes out unconditionally,” and said, “I want to communicate with the fans in various ways, whether it’s an album, a broadcast, or a performance.”

Next, Gongchan's keyword was revealed, and he said about the keyword ‘BANA’ (BANA B1A4 fandom), "It's the name of our fan club, and I wrote that there will be many days with BANA this year." I wrote it because I thought it would come soon,” revealing his love for the fan.

Sandeul, a member of B1A4, is currently serving as a public service worker and is about to be discharged in August.

I'm back!!! 58 + 84 + b1a4s shinwoo, thank you peach!!!! - shinwoo anon

omg hello my friend!! i hope ur doing well! hope u like this mwah~~

58. “Do you know how beautiful you are? It’s truly distracting.”

84. “I love it when you dress up for me.”

NOTE: I’m not accepting requests rn, these requests were sent during a short window of time that I accepted requests~

You got ready for your night out with Shinwoo as quickly as you could, slipping into the tight dress you knew drove him crazy after finishing your hair and makeup. This weekend trip was turning out to be a better idea than you expected, and you enjoyed having the nice large hotel bathroom to get yourself dressed up. A few sprays of perfume and you opened the door, stepping out into the bedroom where he awaited you.

"Oh wow." That was a nice start. He looked so handsome himself, his broad shoulders filling out his suit jacket nicely.

You smiled to yourself and set your bag on the bed next to you. "You look nice too."

"Mm I love it when you dress up for me," he told you, voice deep and warm like a smooth coffee on a fall day.

"Yes, this is for you," you started, gesturing to your outfit and stepping closer. You reached a hand down to his slowly forming hard on and curved your hand over it sensually. "Is this for me?" You smiled confidently and bit your lip, anticipating his answer.

"I hope so." Shinwoo's eyes scanned over your body then met your own, and you noticed the dark lust that clouded them. "But we should go," he noted, glancing at the clock.

"We have time." You curved your hand around the back of his neck and pulled him in for a kiss, turning his face back to you and effectively holding his attention with the way your lips moved sweetly on his. "Do you know how beautiful you are?" He murmured against your lips. "It's truly distracting."

Your smile widened and your hand became more adventurous, pulling at his zipper and undoing the button of his pants. You pulled out his cock and felt a warm shot of adrenaline shoot through you when you held it in your hand. You kissed him again ever so slowly then sunk to your knees, the rough carpeting harsh but easily ignorable. You pushed him back so he sat back onto the bed and wrapped your lips around the head of his dick. "You make it hard to say 'no'," he said with a little smirk as he settled his weight back on his hands.

"So don't." You shrugged and smiled back, licking a long stripe up his length, feeling it get stiffer under your tongue.
