BANG YONGGUK is known as a force to be reckoned within the Korean entertainment industry. As both a part of B.A.P and as an impeccable soloist, BANG YONGGUK and his music go above and beyond when it comes to creativity. Not to mention that he has gained recognition as a music producer, as well. BANG YONGGUK is the mastermind behind some of your favorite hits by artists like JUST B, Moon JongUp (also a member of B.A.P), and Park JiHoon.

Earlier in the year, YY Entertainment announced that BANG YONGGUK would be embarking on a highly anticipated US tour called “III” in April of 2024. The tour started in Brooklyn, New York, and continued through multiple cities, ending in Los Angeles, California. Correlating with the name of his most recent EP “3”, fans were in for a treat of getting to experience his music live and in person!

Kpopmap had the honor of interviewing BANG YONGGUK ahead of his groundbreaking tour. We discussed the inspirations behind his latest EP and how that linked to the concept for his tour, the lessons he learned on tour, the songs he enjoys performing the most, and more.

Note: This interview was conducted before the tour.

BANG YONGGUK, welcome to Kpopmap, and congratulations on your 2024 “III” US Tour! How does it feel to be on another tour after the success of your “The Colors of BANG YONGGUK” world tour in 2023?

I want to express my deep gratitude to the fans for being able to embark on a new tour with the new album. None of this would have been possible without your support and encouragement.

Your tour name “III” corresponds with the name of your latest EP “3”. You described your EP in one phrase as a ‘musical departure’ (음악적 탈피), can you please tell us about how this concept links to your tour, as well? What new sides of you can fans expect to see on stage?

This EP was inspired a lot by the recent world tour. I wanted to enjoy the performances with more audiences in a more exciting way. That’s why I decided to challenge myself with genres and tempos of music that I hadn’t tried before. The recent U.S. tour reaffirmed that it is indeed a well-made album, which made me feel proud.

YY Entertainment

On a similar note, you are known for your astounding musicality. In fact, you promised to show fans an unlimited music spectrum through your release of the EP “3”. Keeping this in mind, how did you go about composing your setlist?

For the recent U.S. tour, I created the setlist centered around the new album. By combining it with my existing upbeat songs, I was able to create a more diverse and dynamic performance. I also included some of my emotional songs that the fans love, making a complete setlist.

You’ve mentioned that you learn a lot on each tour that you embark on. Please share one lesson that you learned on your previous world tour that you’ve applied when preparing for this tour.

Every time I go on tour, I can understand the fans’ needs better. They give a lot of feedback about the music they like and want to hear in my performances. This feedback is very helpful when preparing for a new tour. As I travel to different cities and perform, I can sense unique atmospheres and find ways to improve my performances.

A lot of the songs in your discography are emotionally-charged as you share your vulnerability with your fans. Are there any of your songs that you particularly enjoy performing in front of a crowd?

When I sing the song ‘RACE’, it stirs up my emotions. Perhaps because it was the song that marked my comeback after a long hiatus, I think a lot about that time when I perform it on stage.

YY Entertainment

Your concerts and live shows are always met with raving reviews about your stage presence and connection with the crowd. Which part of being on stage do you enjoy the most? If you had any memorable moments on stage before, are there any memories that you wish to recreate on stage again?

The most memorable moments from this tour were performing ‘Journey’ and ‘AM 4:44’. These songs contain my personal pain, making them very difficult to perform on stage. I tried hard to hold back my tears. After finishing the songs, I would see fans crying, which made it even harder to control my emotions. Personally, I hope to perform ‘I REMEMBER’ on stage with DaeHyun again.

You will be visiting 11 cities on your 2024 “III” US Tour. Are there any tourist attractions that you hope to have time to visit or any US foods that you’re looking forward to eating on your trip?

When I toured during my early years, I visited many places I wanted to see, like famous city attractions, museums, and popular restaurants. Nowadays, I enjoy walking through the alleys of cities. Rather than crowded places, I try to feel the unique atmosphere of each city. Whole Foods is my favorite. Whenever I visit a city, I buy wine and food there to enjoy at the hotel.

TMI Question: The name ‘BANG YONGGUK’ is synonymous with ‘fashion influence’. What is the number one styling tip that you follow to achieve your stylish look?

I usually avoid incorporating too many colors into my outfits. I prefer to add a pop of color to my shoes. Rather than wearing just a t-shirt, I like to layer with a shirt or a light jacket over a tee.

YY Entertainment

TMI Question: If you could only listen to three artists for the rest of your life, who would they be and why?

Duke Elington, The Beatles, The Game. They are the artists who have captured my life from my teens to my thirties. They have provided the greatest inspiration for my music. I listened to them in my teens, and I still listen to their music now. I will probably continue to listen to their music even when I am in my sixties.

Lastly, can you say a word to American fans who are excited to see you perform on stage? Do you have a special message for your loving fans all around the world?

Fans who give me a special life: I always want to say that I love and respect you so much. Thanks to you, I’m still able to do music. I want to be an artist who develops so that I can repay you for your endless support and support. Please keep telling me your stories. Thank you.

Thank you once again to BANG YONGGUK for being so open in this interview. Fans have been posting rave reviews about his riveting concerts and it has been a pleasure to see. Make sure to check out his music and stay tuned to his projects in the future!

Which BANG YONGGUK song do you think sounds the best live? If you haven’t seen him perform live before, which song would you like to see him perform live? 

[disgruntled-screaming]

I've been here for a few days, but I'm overdue for an introduction.

Hey, hi, hello everyone! I hope this post meets you in good health! You can call me Lizzie. I am 29 years old, an Aquarius, and I am an old fandom joiner.

The current fandoms I'm in are B.A.P (Moon Jongup is my kpop crush and bias), YuGiOh (DM and GX at the moment), Voltron: Legendary Defender, Fullmetal Alchemist (2003 or bust), Delicious in Dungeon, and I dabble in other fandoms every so often.

I'm a digital artist who's currently learning the fundamentals to improve and make beautiful illustrations again, an amateur voice actor, singer, dancer, baker, former cosplayer, and I write from time to time. My childhood dream is to be a professional singer, which is honestly much harder than singing in the shower.

I'm currently working on two canon adjacent/fix it projects. Fates Converge, which is a fan YuGiOh comic that has been in production since 2011, and Beyond the Stars (title may change) which will either be a fanfiction or fan comic of Voltron Legendary Defender.

I've been making fandom characters since 11 or 12 years old, and I do love myself some ocxcanon every so often. Technically I've been making content since 2006, but those skills have left the building.

As I've stated in other posts, I've been through a lot of tough times (as we all do), and fandom was the only thing keeping me from going off the deep end. I'm in a somewhat better place now, currently job hunting which sucks, but I'm working towards the aspirations I had when I was brighter and younger.

You are never too old to achieve your dreams and the happiness you deserve.

[lunetual]

hello Meg! not sure if you’re still doing the bias evaluations but I couldn’t narrow it down to just 3 > < but my top are Jongup, Hyojin (ONF), Lim Jimin (Just B), Han Seungwoo, Woodz and Y from Golden Child. and I would love a Meg guy in my diagnosis!

(also you can just call me Nana here on tumblr 💖)

omg hehe hi nana <3 all ask games are always open to the besties and mutuals !! ok ok omg let me think for a second. i'm not super familiar w o.nf or golcha beyond their music, which i do like a lot so. lemme do a quick google real quick LOL.

ok im back. i think like. generally. u like leader personalities. even if they aren't formally the leader of their respective groups, they're people that others naturally look to for guidance. like not even in professional settings necessarily just. like idk i'd ask seungwoo for advice any day!! they're all people i'd trust in a crisis honestly LOL but also day to day they're just people u can count on. and u have some of my favorite vocal tones in there too <3

i'm going to hand u!!! one of my pixel guys LOL. im sorry i know it's a little out of left field but like. they're just guys with avatars but i'm handing you the plave leader yejun, who was the first trainee revealed and has a lovely singing voice and is so good to his members and so brave and good at navigating an.... admittedly Different idol situation than the norm. i like him a lot please take good care of him!!

[space-loves]

Watching old BAP performances is such a ride :

Getting nostalgic seeing the old styling choices

Trying to avoid seeing Himchan by reading the lyrics

Being impressed by Youngjae's voice, whom I had completely underestimated for SO LONG

Watching Daehyun aka national treasure sing through high notes after high notes as if it's nothing

The other members being so loud you can barely hear Daehyun belting these notes

The choreography being so simple yet so effective all the time

But then JongUp (whom I've grown to appreciate a lot more in recent years) giving his best dance moves every dance break

Zelo and Yongguk rapping so good that they got me excited every time I hear their voices

The performances being so powerful and impactful EVERY TIME, no matter the song or its genre, this is CRAZY

Waiting for your favorite songs to come out and feeling 13 again every time they come out

Basically, I'm receiving giant face slaps for how much I didn't know how to appreciate them properly when I was 13.

Comparing them to recent performances is crazy, they were SO good with NOTHING. Don't get me wrong, recent performances are really good too, for the ones I follow, but there's just something about having talented members shine just as they are, with a well-directed performance, no fancy things needed.

I'm so mad TS did them dirty, they would be so much bigger and so good nowadays. I'm counting the days until we get to see them release something together again.

Thank you for broadcasting networks for releasing these compilations of performance, it makes me so happy.

At the concert in Düsseldorf there was a fan project during With You, this video started playing on the big screen behind B.A.P, the members were extremely touched, and I thought you all should see it too

EXCLUSIVE: Moon Jong Up Talks About ‘US’, His Journey, B.A.P Reunion & More!

Moon Jong Up mononymously known as Jongup, gained popularity as the main dancer and lead vocalist of the now-disbanded KPOP group B.A.P under TS Entertainment. At present, Jongup is signed with Big Ocean ENM as a soloist. He released his solo debut single album, ‘Headache’ featuring Yunhway on May 7, 2020, and garnered much support from his fans worldwide. He also recently featured in Mr Queen’s OST, ‘Venus.’

Besides his amazing vocal skills and dance, Jongup can also rap and is also an actor. He performed in the play ‘The Lost Village’ and has also been cast for the upcoming movie, ‘Idol Recipe’.  Jongup is truly a power packed artist. Ahead of his comeback, he pre-released an MV on 1st July 2021, for the song ‘Find‘, which features Moon Sujin. The song has a slow R&B beat with a soothing melody that reveals a deeper, more emotional side to his music.

Jongup is now back with his first mini-album titled ‘US‘ which released earlier today. The album has five tracks starting with the title song ‘US’, ‘Photo’ featuring Bang Yonguk, pre-release single – ‘Find’ featuring Moon Su-jin, ‘GOUP’ featuring EK from ‘Show Me the Money 8’, and his debut single, ‘HEADACHE’ featuring Yunhway.

Along with the featuring of such talented list of artists, Moon Jong-up also continues to explore his musical capabilities in this album, by participating in writing and composing lyrics for ‘Photo’, ‘Find’, and ‘GOUP’. He further shows why he was the lead vocalist in his former group with ‘US’.

With strong vocals and dance as well as the vintage theme aesthetic music video, ‘US’ has quickly jumped into our playlist and we cannot stop singing to it.

Ahead of his comeback, Jongup spoke with us about his latest album, his growth, B.A.P, Indian fans & more. As 2nd Generation fans, this was a wonderful opportunity to be able to speak with an artist who gained so much fame and made waves, even before internet took over the way it has right now.

From his debut in 2012 as part of B.A.P to now, Jongup believes that among all things, his thoughts have changed the most. He shares that the more he learn and know, the more he need to know and thus, he has a mindset, to live by learning for the rest of his life. He believes that the biggest difference of promoting as a group and as a soloist is that,  “Now I have to bear the burden which I shared with the members when I was in a group but at times, it’s also good to have that much love alone.”

The shift from group to solo, along with years of working as an idol has brought about a process of change and growth and opened new perspectives and views for the talented soloist, “Through many experiences, I have learned and felt that a person cannot live alone in the world. So, I want to say ‘thank you’ to the people who work for me and work with me.”

His former group B.A.P brought about a bad-boy image which was loved by fans across the world and their debut ep ‘Warrior’ landed at Billboard’s World Albums Chart at #10. The group then continuously made waves with their music and topped charts across the world hence showing their global status. Although the members parted ways with their previous company, the boys remain good friends as they continue on their own individual paths while cheering for each other for their solo activities. The boys are also often seen hanging out together hence making their fandom, ‘Baby’ very happy.

While talking about how former B.A.P leader Bang Yong-Guk has participated in his song “PHOTO” as a featuring, Jongup gives hope to the fandom as he assures,

“If the timing is right, I think a reunion of B.A.P is possible at any time.”

– Jongup

The day may not be far off, as along with Yongguk’s featuring, other B.A.P members Zelo and Youngjae also participated in his Listeners; Listen “US” and in the video, one could see how they truly enjoyed being with each other.  The members shared their honest thought on his comeback as they gave their opinions about how they loved the comeback, Jongup’s growth as an artist and that, the fans had lot to expect hence making the fandom anticipate more. This was also the first video in a very long time where the members had appeared together so for B.A.P fans, this was a blessing. The members were definitely right though as with ‘US’ we see a mature side of Jongup in terms of music, vocals or even style.

Jong-up was also recently cast in “Idol Recipe” and  he gave a sneak peak of his character, “My cast is ‘Jang Jun’, a member of a mixed group. He gets caught while dating at work and gets scolded”, thus building more anticipation for his upcoming appearance.

He shares that in terms of his style of music, over the years, the thing that has changed the most is that, he now listens to all genres and he particularly likes R&B dance hip-hop the most. When it comes to incorporating it to his music, he admits that there are so many genres he want to challenge himself with, but the one that comes to his mind right now is EDM.

For Jongup, the process of creating music/songwriting is mostly done with his friend, Min – “We usually start with the track. Sometimes when a track comes out first, we write melodies and lyrics together.” He further says that he has a lot of influence when it comes to his music but ever since his younger days, he admires Chris Brown and he still loves his music. This however doesn’t come as a surprise to his fans, after all, Jongup’s dancing and vocal skills have always been on point.

With ‘US’, the title track of this album, Jongup shares that, he liked it as soon as he heard the guide.

“I wanted each track to be different from genre to mood. I had a lot of meetings to go in the direction that I wanted. There were some disappointing parts in the process, but all the processes can’t always go perfectly in the direction I want, so those parts were difficult but overall, this was a great experience. ” – Jongup on the process of making ‘US’

Jongup agrees that he has gotten used to the life of an idol, after all, its been nearly 10 years since he debuted as an idol and if he had a chance to do any special activities with his fans, he would want to go camping with them. He further adds that if he could go back and give an advice to his former self, he would tell himself, “Be nice to Baby”.

‘Baby’ is the fandom name for B.A.P but now, Jongup also has another fandom name created by the fans themselves, ‘MOONW4LK.’  He shared his thoughts on his fandom name and also sent a messages for his fans across the world especially in India.

“‘MOONW4LK’ is such a cute name. I love you always. You know that, all this is done thinking only of ‘MOONW4LK’, right? As soon as Covid-19 calms down, I will fly to you.”

Okay so here's my pitch for a different B.A.P - Warrior mv. To no one's shock its gang themed, because its kpop in 2012. However the twist is that they're a good gang who protect their community instead of hurt it, and theyre fighting off another gang who are bad guys. They also have swords instead of guns because its vaguely implied they're reencaenated warriors of the past, maybe.

Because we've just come off Bang&Zelo, they're the ones people recognise so they sorta take the main roles as the Leader and the Youngest. It's kinds about Zelo learning the importance of fighting for what's right and protecting what you love. Everyone else is introduced to the fans with their respective marketed qualities.

We open with some scenes that profile the bang as a whole, maybe it's a stand-off or theyre just patrolling the city streets. At the "B.A.P" but it then show us our first fight which highlights each member getting to do something cool that suits them. Yongguk leads them in of course and like maybe Jongup is shown to be physically strong by knocking a guy down but Youngjae is smart because he evades attacks and uses his enemy's weight his his advantage.

We cut to Zelo spotting a cowering family who's probably a mother and two little kids. He breaks away from the fighting to go help them and has to fand off a bad guy who tries to get to them. We get a bunch of cool scenes of Zelo sneaking them through alleyways where there's loads of Matoki graffiti and he's like fighting off bad guys. Of course he doesn't get intense fight scenes because he's like 15 so he either uses defensive moves or it happens off screen while we have clips of the members singing their lines. He gets to the end of an alleyway and a big bad dude appears in front of him and its like an Oh No! moment because maybe Zelos having to carry one of the kids now. But then the bad dude drops and we have Jongup behind him with the handle of his sword out like he whacked the guy. Jongup and Zelo have this cool bro arm grab to show they appreciate each other before Zelo hurries off.

We cut back to the main battle where because TS really wanna push DaeJae as rivals for whatever reason, the two boys are back to back and surrounded and then they do some cool sword fighting against other bad guys and kick em down. When it's over we get a scene where Youngjae is about to take a guy down but Daehyun gets there first and he's kinds cocky about it. Youngjae does like an "augh so frustrating" gesture and then they just run back to the others.

We now cut to Himchan and he's fighting the enemy leader but he's not doing great, but then Yongguk puts a hand on his shoulder and has him step aside and then it's leader vs leader and its a lot of staring and circling each other and then they run in and clash swords. Theres some cool poses in the fight but Yongguks winning no trouble.

We cut back to Zelo who's managed to get the family to their house but Uh Oh! He's surrounded by bad guys! And it's just him on his own! Don't worry, the rest of the band appear in a dramatic moment, like maybe they're up on the roofs or balconies. We get a final battle of them all together and helping each other. Then a crash cut to them standing together in cool stances with bad guys lying on the floor around them. In the choreography cut where Zelo gets shot he's wearing a mask to indicate he's representing a bad guy.

That's my pitch I hope you like it.

B.A.P “Coming home from the military and surprising their Idol S/O at their concert”

Ask:  Hiii :) can you B.A.P(especially yongguk) reaction to he suprises his very famous idol girlfriend at her concert with his homecoming from military? Thank you.

A/N: So I decided I won’t be adding Himchan. I kinda feel bad considering idk if he’s guilty or not but yeah. If it turns out he’s innocent I PROMISE I will go back and add parts for him.

Yongguk: 

Guk would have preferred to come home privately, but things were the way they were. Your company had scheduled your first solo concert on the same day as his discharge date. The first agreement was just that you would go straight to him after your concert. But Yongguk wanted to see you as fast as he could.

 He put his own feelings to the side and decided to surprise you on stage. Towards the end of your concert, before the final song, you took a seat on the edge of stage. You always felt a good connection with your fans and it was your first solo concert after all.  

“I’m going to level with you all, you all know that Yongguk got discharged today. I haven’t had the chance to see him yet. I missed him a lot.” You paused and Yongguk watched from the side of the stage, waiting for the right moment to surprise you. “I am so greatful to have you all here today and that I can share this moment with you all.” Yongguk started walking on stage, a few loud gasps coming from the audience as he walked down the stage to where your back was facing him. 

You kicked your feet slightly, cheers coming from the crowd leaving you confused when you felt arms wrap around you. You just turned, wrapping your arms around his neck not even needing to see him to know it was him. You nearly dropped your mic, trying everything in your power not to cry. 

“I love you.” He whispered and pecked your lips before leaving the stage again so you could finish your show. You were a mess in tears, putting the mic up to your lips only to sigh and put it down again, your audience laughing before telling you not to cry. 

“I really wasn’t expecting that.” 

Daehyun: 

You were a well known ballad singer and you were having a small concert for your fan cafe members in Korea. It was just a small little thing that you wanted to do and it was a very personal show. Sadly, the venue your company wanted to use was only available on Daehyun’s discharge date. You had been busy all day, keeping up with the news of his discharge while also going through soundchecks and stage prep. You had agreed to see eachother the next day, just understanding that the day was too busy and hectic. 

The venue was small but full and you couldn’t help but smile. Your boyfriend was back, your fans were there and you were singing your personal favorite songs along with some new ones. While sitting in a stool infront of everyone. You could even recognize some of your fans which was amazing. You just wished you could share this moment with Daehyun. 

“So this next song is a song I made with my boyfriend Daehyun, you all know him. Today was his discharge day, I haven’t got to see him yet but soon I hope we can perform this together.” You started, feeling slightly sad but also overwhelmed. 

You started singing your song, the sweet words pouring from your lips. Another voice mixed with your through the speakers and you noticed your fans getting very excited as you heard Daehyun’s sweet voice coming from next to you. You did everything in your power not to cry and you just stopped singing, allowing his voice to fill the venue and your ears as you hugged him, sobbing into his shoulder softly while the fans coo’d in awe. 

“Stop crying my love, let’s sing our song.”

Youngjae: 

Youngjae never really told you his discharge date, he always evaded the question and answered with “Around __.” Which you were fine with. You had a concert scheduled in the same month and considering you hadn’t heard anything else about his discharge dates. 

Youngjae had planned that since the start, wanting to surprise and it was only better that it was during your concert. He wanted to go big, surprise you and it was one of your concerts so he knew it would be documented. It was just perfect in his opinion. 

So there he stood, behind you while you did the choreo to your song. You were having a great time and Youngjae couldn’t help but admire how happy you looked. Your back was facing him and so he stepped onto stage, mimicing your dance moves with a smile as the crowd laughed. Your back up dancers were aware of his surprise and they stepped away as he got closer. He was still mimicing you until he wrapped his arms around your dancing, singing figure. 

It terrified you at first, only then you realised it was Youngjae and you nearly dropped to the floor. The big smile on his face warming your heart. “What are you?- I don’t know-.” You stuttered, not being able to finish any sentences you started. He wrapped his arms around you while laughing and you smacked his chest. Making him step back jokingly. 

“I surprise you and you beat me, how is that fair?” 

Jongup: 

Jongup generally wanted to keep things private in your relationship. You guys were public and you weren’t afraid to be seen together either. You felt horrible that your concert had been scheduled on his discharge date. You called him crying apologizing profusely, only making him laugh. It wasn’t that big of a deal to him, but he thought it was cute. 

Once he had convinced you it was okay and you had made plans for the next day, he got on it. He wanted to surprise you and show you that he was proud of you and so he was contacting your managers to arrange something. 

So there Jongup was standby on stage, heart pounding in his chest as you poured your heart out in song. The song you were singing was particularly emotional and he could tell you were on the verge of tears. Taking a deep breath, he made his way on stage and put the mic to his lips, joining your song. 

The movement from your right made you turn your head. Your mic drop out of your hands in surprise and Jongup started laughing, carrying your part of the song with his own sweet vocals. You picked the mic up and quickly apologized and just hugged him. Tucking your face into his neck as he sweetly sang your song. Jongup held you close with his free hand and pulled you into him tighter. 

“I told you everything would work out.” 

Zelo/Junhong: 

You felt bad that you were going to miss Junhong’s discharge day. But it was a big day for you as well, your first solo concert ever. He had reassured you everything was fine and that you would just go and spend the night with him after. You still felt bad but you two just agreed. 

Junhong however just wanted to surprise you. You had a few tracks with a rap feature and he figured he knew them anyways. Instead of letting the track play he would do them and surprise you. 

So there you were, on stage and dancing and singing your hearts fill. Junhong couldn’t hold back his smile as you did so and mentally prepared the verse for your song. You couldn’t help but pause when you heard live rapping. You knew that voice all too well. 

You turned, seeing Junhong standing there rapping to your song. You covered your face and had to hold back from jumping on him. So you just stopped your choreo and ran to hug him. He laughed into the mic, picking you up and kissing you. You looked at him with the brightest smile. 

“I kind of had to see you.” 

A/N: I got really emotional writing this. So yeah.  Uh like I said, once more comes out about Himchan’s case i will add him to these, or not depending on which way it swings.

Babe, for the game I'd love to ask you: 11-16-22-35-50, let have fun! ❤ -Hammy 🐹

11.  Your opinion, black-haired idols or dyed hair?

Black hair. Yes, dyed hair can be beautiful, too, but I have a thing for dark hair and I just think that’s what suits many idols the most. (Wonho & Jooheon for example! 😍) But, Honey in Shoot Out Era was hot, too. Ugh. Maybe both? 😅

16.  The group you could see yourself becoming best friends with?

Probably B.A.P (Gawd, I miss them so much!) I think Yongguk really could be my best friend, simply because we could lock ourselves in his studio for days (or weeks, lmao) writing the darkest lyrics of all time, cut off from the outside world so we don’t have to interact with weird people. lul. I would meet Daehyun to steal all the good food he always has while listening to music on max. volume, screaming and singing along until our lungs give up. I wouldn’t have much contact with Jongup, tho, simply because we’re both socially awkward, so probably none of us would say that much and we would end up being silent all the time. 🤣 And Junhong and Youngjae... well, with them I could live out the crazy side in me. Doing the weirdest stuff at weirdest times, just... because. Hell, that would be SO cool!

22. If you were stuck in a horror movie you’d want which group with you?

Uhm, what? If I were in a horror movie, I’d be the first to die, probably on a heart attack or because of stupidity. 🤣 So, I don’t take anyone with me, because they’d end up dead, too. No one want’s that!  (Maybe I’d take a group with me that I don’t like, but... uuuh, that’s mean and I’m not willing to name anyone. lmfao!)

35.  Have you ever met any of your idols?

Yeeees, I did! Back in 2018, I met B.A.P, sadly without Yongguk because he’d already left the group. And I missed his solo tour because I was in Italy at that time! 😭 But I met the other boys during a meet and greet and... ugh. I FUCKING MET JUNHONG and HOLY HELL he was so beautiful. And Dae and Uppie. God, I’m losing it again just by the thought of it. They were so handsome and friendly and everything! I love these boys so fricking much. 🥰 And I really hope I can meet MX one day, too. Whenever they were in Germany I didn’t have the opportunity to go to a concert because of... things. And I hate that.

50.  If I had a whole day with my bias I would….”

A whole day? Holy hell, there are so many things we could do! Okay, the perfect day would start with a big fat brunch while I’d ask all the questions about their music and inspiration and stuff and I’d probably talk about how much their music means to me. And then I would ask him what he wants to do, so the day would end up being perfect in his eyes. (Hopefully, there’s a lot of crazy stuff he wants to do, because we could have sooo much fun! 😁) Whatever it is, I’d do it, just to make him happy for this one day, while he makes me happy every single day. 💕 Ugh, that’s so cheesy, but it’s the truth!

Well... that was quite a lot. lul. Thanks for asking, hun. If anyone would like to know more, here are the questions.

Overdose Scene 3

Kim HimChan stared at the bowl of food sitting on the table in front of him longingly. He was hungry - no, starving was more like it. He wanted to eat, but couldn't bring himself to put his chopsticks in the food and bring it to his lips. He had gained weight, after all of the methods he had tried to keep it off. The visual member of B.A.P had struggled with body image issues his entire life - he had been a heavier kid and it had been hard for him to find cool clothes like other boys could wear while growing up, but despite not always being comfortable in his skin, he had never let it get him down.

That had been until he was about twenty years old and was scouted by TS Entertainment to be in a new boy band that the company was planning to debut the following January. The director, Tae-Sung, had told HimChan that he liked how Him sounded and thought that he had natural good looks, but the only problem was that at his weight he didn't fit in with the “boy band image.” Tae-Sung told Him that there was no way that he would do well on popularity polls on Naver if he didn't lose weight because no female fans would be interested in a heavy-set member.

Hearing that he was too heavy to ever be thought of as attractive destroyed any self-confidence that HimChan had in himself. Being insulted in that way made him feel angry and hurt, and for awhile, he used those emotions to fuel the binge diet that TS put him on so that he could lose enough weight before B.A.P's scheduled debut date. After a few months on the diet, HimChan's weight loss came to a halt and Tae-Sung realized that they were quickly running out of time.

Even though he never stated it directly, HimChan understood loud and clear that the director was implying that he wanted him to starve himself to make him lose weight faster. It started with HimChan eating small meals and doing things like skipping breakfast, eating half of a salad for lunch, and the other half of his salad for dinner. He did this for a few months and saw some results and the director seemed to be satisfied with his level of progress, but to HimChan, it wasn't enough. He wasn't doing enough - he still wasn't good enough.

HimChan purged for the first time after eating a full meal one night. He had over indulged in his favorite food, pasta, which was full of calories and fats. Feeling physically sick after realizing how much he had eaten, HimChan made himself throw up the food. At first, the experience is hard for him, but after doing it for a few more days, HimChan realized that he liked the way that it felt.

He was now able to eat anything he wanted without having to worry about gaining weight. This method of weight loss quickly proved to be far from full proof when after days of either starving himself completely or purging anything he ate, HimChan would become so hungry that the only thing that he could think of would be food. He would cave in and binge eat until he felt sick, then purge everything he had eaten, encasing him in a vicious and unhealthy cycle.

Eventually, HimChan lost enough weight to satisfy Tae-Sung, but even after reaching a weight that he felt at least okay at, he wasn't able to stop starving himself. Every time he began eating regularly, the company cautioned him against eating more than he needed to prevent him from gaining weight again.

With a sigh Him stuck his chopsticks in the noodles in front of him, grabbing some beef and vegetables along with them. He put the food in his mouth and chewed stiffly, not really tasting it. His stomach rumbled hungrily at the little bit of food, but HimChan quickly found himself feeling sick. That happened a lot when he ate - it wasn't that the bulimia made him puke. His body did that for him - it was as if it was used to not getting nutrients and immediately rejected what he ate. Despite mounting nausea, he ate another bite of food then another, continuing until he had eaten half of the bowl.

He dipped his chopsticks back in for another bite, but his stomach gave a lurch and he knew that he wasn't going to be able to keep the food down. It was in him slowly but surely adding to the weight that already wouldn't leave his body. The little bit of food moved uncomfortably in HimChan's stomach and he grimaced, knowing that he was going to give in. He couldn't deal with the nausea - if he just purged, it would be over quicker. Waiting the feeling out was torture that just wasn't worth it.

Him pushed his chair back from the table and stood up quickly, causing his head to swim mercilessly. With legs feeling like jelly, he rushed to the bathroom at the other end of the dorm, locking the door before sliding to his knees in front of the toilet. He laid his head against the closed lid, heart beating fast and desperately trying to calm down his erratic breathing. Without warning his stomach rebelled and he flipped the lid up, barely managing to lean his head over the bowl before his dinner made its reappearance.

He gagged and retched again, but nothing came up. He felt full like there was a ton of bricks in his stomach and not just half of a bowl of food he normally loved. The feeling was too much - he had eaten too much. He was going to get fat again, he wouldn't look good anymore if he didn't stay thin. B.A.P couldn't have a fat visual - it would ruin their reputation. That same damned reputation that was the reason that his entire ordeal had started.

The feeling of fullness didn't go away and Him couldn't take it anymore. With a shaking hand, he closed his eyes, refusing to look at the toilet as he shoved his fingers in his mouth, triggering his gag reflex. He vomited again, this time feeling a pleasant sensation of release as the fullness in his stomach began to evaporate.

He hated himself for thinking that it felt good - how could something like this ever be enjoyable? He was making himself sick to lose weight. That wasn't normal, he wasn't normal anymore. By this point he was a freak, right? Addicted to the feeling of being able to eat and not gain weight.

But that was a double-edged sword, wasn't it? Because in the end, this was always the final result. He couldn't remember the last time he had enjoyed a full meal and kept it all down. It always came up one way or another, whether by his fingers or his own body rejecting food because it was so often starved.

The worst part was that even though he felt less full, he wasn't done. He still had too much in his body - it was like poison. Toxic, slowly killing him. He had to get it out, too. That only made it easier as he shoved his fingers deeper into his throat, instantly causing him to let out more.

He went on like this for a few more minutes, until he was dry heaving and his throat felt like sandpaper. The only thing he hated was the aftereffects of the acidic substance burning his throat. He had thrown up more than he usually did - he was sure that the leftover stomach acid coating his throat would leave painful sores that would make singing his lines hard, but he would just ignore the pain - it was his fault anyway.

HimChan didn't dare move from the floor as he still felt sick, but he heard a soft knock on the door and his heart stopped. Dammit, he hadn't thought of the other members in the dorm. He was an idiot - they had probably all heard him. They would know that he did this to himself, that he wasn't normal.

A moment later he heard a low voice on the other side of the door and recognized JongUp instantly. “Hyung, are you alright? I thought I heard someone throwing up.”

Still shaking, HimChan didn't answer but reached up and unlocked the door. He was terrified of being caught, but maybe just maybe he could play it off as the stomach flu or food poisoning. He hated the thought of lying to his naive dongsaeng, but the truth would hurt more than the lie.

The door creaked open and JongUp stood in the doorway, concern clearly in his sharp gaze. He took one look at the shaking HimChan on the floor then into the toilet and understanding dawned on his face. He walked to the sink and filled a cup with water before squatting beside HimChan. He held the cup out to the older member but quickly realized that his hyung wouldn't be able to hold the cup without spilling it all over both of them. He helped him guide the cup to his lips and take a sip before rinsing his mouth out and spitting it into the toilet.

HimChan repeated the process a few times before the taste of vomit was fully out of his mouth. His shaking lessened and he held the cup on his own, swallowing the rest of the water to ease his parched throat. JongUp eyed him quietly, but HimChan knew that he was just giving him a minute to recover before attacking him with questions.

He reached up and flushed the toilet before standing up and sliding past JongUp to stand in front of the sink. He was pale and sweaty - he didn't look well at all. With a slight wince, he washed his hands and then grabbed his toothbrush from the medicine cabinet. JongUp stood as his hyung cleaned up, gaze never leaving him.

Once HimChan was finished, the older maknae of B.A.P gave him a weird look that made Him's heart beat faster. Here it comes - the moment where JongUp would tell him that he knows everything. “Hyung, why were you sick?” was all he asked, his voice casual and unassuming.

HimChan relaxed slightly, realizing that he could easily play it off. “The stir fry made me sick. I think I used too much oil to cook it with.”

JongUp shook his head in disagreement. “Yeah, but all five of the rest of us ate that same stir fry, and none of us are feeling sick. Why was it just you?”

“Everyone's bodies are different, Jonguppie.”

“Maybe, but you eat burgers from the Shake Shack every time we go to the States. They're greasier than the entire pot of stir fry, and you eat more of them than you did your food tonight. I saw your bowl on the table- you barely at half of it. How did that little make you sick, but not all of us who finished our bowls?”

“I don't know why, but it did. What else would have made me sick?”

JongUp bit his lip and looked at the ground as if mentally debating. In the end, he gave HimChan a sharp look, knowing that his next words were for his hyungs own good. “Did you?”

“Did I what?”

“Did you make yourself sick? Don't try and use the stir fry as an excuse. When you tried to grab water out of my hand, I smelled puke. I know that we were right beside it, but it smelled closer, hyung. It was on your hand or something.”

HimChan felt his heart rise up into his throat but he took a breath. JongUp seemed to be onto something, but he could still get out of this if he tried. “I was feeling pretty sick, JongUp. I puked in my hand before I got to the bathroom.”

“Why wasn't there a mess anywhere else, then? I don't think you could have done that without at least some getting on yourself or the floor. Plus, our room is right next to the kitchen, and I would have heard you if you had thrown up. I didn't hear you until I came to use the bathroom.”

“You were in a room with five other people. I'm sure you could have been distracted and not heard because everyone else was being noisy.”

“That's the thing, though. YongGuk and Junhong are sleeping, DaeHyun and YoungJae are watching a movie with headphones in, and I was reading posts on twitter. It was completely quiet.” JongUp shook his head in resignation. “Maybe the food did make you sick, but I'm not convinced that you're not lying to me, hyung. You've been nervous since I got in here - you're still sweating even though I cut the air on.”

“Y..you cut the air on?”

JongUp nodded. “Yeah, while you were brushing your teeth - you were too distracted to notice. It made it colder in here, but you're still sweating just as bad. People usually do that when they're hiding something.”

HimChan laughed sarcastically against his will. “Did you learn that in high school psychology?”

JongUp glared, instantly shutting the older member up. “Yeah, I did. But I'm not wrong, am I? You're nervous because you know that I'm onto you.”

“I'm sweaty because I just puked my guts up, JongUp. Are you ever cold after you've just been sick? It heats your entire body up for awhile.”

“Normally when I'm legitimately sick, I have cold chills underneath the heat. Are you cold, hyung?”

“No, I'm not. But not everyone is like you - I get hot after I throw up.”

“Really? Because last time you had the stomach flu, you were complaining that you were freezing and took all of our blankets to warm yourself up, even though you had a high fever too.”

“I..” HimChan tried to swallow the lump in his throat. “Your body doesn't always have the same reaction to being sick - this is a different type of sickness, anyway. I got sick from food, not from a virus.”

JongUp sighed as he realized that if he didn't use the bathroom soon, his bladder was going to explode. “Sure you did, hyung..” He moved closer to the toilet before looking at HimChan over his shoulder. “I need to pee. Close the door, will you?

HimChan complied, happy to finally escape his dongsaeng's interrogation. The kid was a lot sharper than he gave him credit for, and it terrified him. Did he actually know or was he just taking an educated guess? More to the point, how had he found out? Had he really been that careless that it was easy for B.A.P's most 4D member to find out so easily?

The visual's head was pounding again, this time not from mounting nausea. With a sigh he walked to the member's shared bedroom and crawled into his bed, ignoring curious looks from DaeHyun and YoungJae who were laying on the floor watching a movie.

Once completely covered by his blankets, HimChan felt tears spring to his eyes and he let them fall against his sheets, choked sobs being swallowed by the pillow.

B.A.P Reacts To Their GF Being A Famous Youtuber

Requested by: @psyren15

Yongguk: “Aw baby, that’s cute, you have a Youtube channel- Wait. That’s a lot of subscribers.” He would smile so big when he saw your statistics after finding your channel. From then on, he would become your little assistant, helping you write scripts, setup your camera and lights, etc. Prefers to work behind the scenes, but will occasionally peak his head into your vlogs. 

Himchan: “Wow, you have more views than us!” He tries not to show his jealousy but fails majorly. Because of this, he usually pouts in the corner when you need to record a video. Every once and a while he will help you tear your equipment down. The one time he was featured on your account was when you had a mukbang and invited him on. 

Daehyun: “Oh I am gonna be so annoying, now!” He tries not to feel jealous, considering he can’t leave his house without someone recognizing him. He’d be so excited to be in your videos, constantly pitching ideas. But when it comes to recording, he always cracks and ruins the footage. He will fill your memory card with NG shots of him laughing and singing. 

Youngjae: “The world needs to see my face as much as possible.” He brushes off your views and follower count in order to not feel discouraged by the groups views. If he knew how, he would help you set your camera and lights up. The one time he wants to be featured in one of your videos, he becomes suddenly shy, barely remembering how to speak. 

Jongup: “I thought that was a weird dream I had.” He says, staring at you very popular channel. Usually, he does not help you with it, assuming that you don’t need him to. He’d feel awkward any time you would vlog around the house. The only way you can get a recording of him is if you catch him half asleep or drunk. Accidentally breaks your microphone and is now banned from your studio.

Junhong: “Ooh this is so cool. Can Mochi be in a video?” He then nearly chokes when he sees your subs and views. For the next month, he jokingly treats you like a celebrity. When you’re recognized on the street, his brain malfunctions when they don’t recognize him. He never appears in your videos unless you are vlogging, then he will pop his head in for a second and then disappear.

[181117] B.A.P Forever Tour in Philadelphia - Highlight of my Life

This was really one of the best concerts I’ve ever gone to. Despite being skeptical of JSJ from the beginning, I was still willing to risk it and buy the tickets. I was debating for a while to drop $400 or not for m&g but when you think about it, it was only $30 per photo with each of the boys (+ a hat, hoodie, and whistle) so that’s HELLA worth it.  So I dropped nearly $600 for this concert but for real it was SO worth it. I was even willing to go down by bus all by myself and possibly wandering the streets of philly late at night for it but luckily was able to catch a ride! 

These two BABYz gave out numbers from the very beginning like they marked down if you were plat or baby package and in the end JSJ and fans actually honored them! It was really great cuz we were able to leave the line to go to the bathroom or get food! BABYz around me were so nice and friendly too ;u; When it was time to go in to soundcheck and for the concert, we all actually got in order! It was REALLY nice like wow thank you philly babyz!! We were let in a little late for soundcheck cuz apparently bap was doing some kind of interview?? As for soundcheck, it was sooOOOoooOOO good!!! They kinda mixed up plat and baby but oh well whatever I still got like 3rd row so *^* WOOHOO! The stage was up really high and the venue was quite small, but philly crowd’s passion was explosive and powerful!! At the beginning of soundcheck Zelo kept like peeking out from the backstage door *^* they were ODing the fog machine so you could only see silhouettes at the door sometimes OTL. Daehyun was the first to come out! He came in this big puffer jacket and had earphones and and was smiling so cutely!! That wonderful wonderful kitty smile!! OH MY HEART PLEASE HAVE MERCY!! And then the others came out! <3 Zelo was wearing like PJ pants lmao the same one he wore in that IG pic of him in the truck, jongup was wearing leather (i think.....), himchan wore the tour hoodie, and youngjae wore a long coat. BUT YEAH the first song they did was TMJ and the crowd was hella LIT!!! Like everyone was singing their lungs out and jumping and being really really excited! We all started jamming out hardcore at the very first note of TMJ and I just knew it was about to be epic. BAP was sooo happy!! They really enjoyed it as well!  And then they did DWIF and omfg daehyun was soooo cute cuz we were so loud during the OH!! part that he was like :O!!!!! and gave us two thumbs up!! The others were really happy too!! And then Zelo was controlling the crowd with his hands LOL like he was making us go side to side like a wave and then jongup was doing this weird dance too lmaooo we hyped up each other so much! It was soo much fun ;A; too bad we couldn’t record but JSJ got a ( video )~!! Like just listen to BABYz singing along at the beginning!! ( dh shocked at 0:41, thumbs up at 0:51)

We had to go back outside again after the concert and that’s when the line got a little messy since now there was also GA peeps and the sidewalk is only so big to fit like 3 different lines. But it worked out in the end and we got in order!! AND YA GIRL GOT FCKN 2ND ROW HEEEEEEEEELLLL YEAHH!! I had a GREAT view!! There was actually quite a lot of space and like NO pushing!! (except this one bishhhh but whatever that’s another story -.- i’ll delete her from my memory) But wow pit was fCKN great like wow the fanchants!! The whistles!! NO PUSHING!! LIKE WHAT WOOOW I LOVE YOU (this was an all standing venue btw). When we were waiting for the concert to start, they played a bunch of their songs and everyone was scream-singing the lyrics (well more like trying to LOL we can’t korean) We had our own bap concert with an empty stage lmaooo 

AND AHHHH BAP WAS SOOOO GOOD AT FANSERVICE!!! Himchan noticed me like several times i fucking cRy!! He looked and waved at mee TWICE and like gestured to focus on zelo for recording and taking pics when it was his part AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Like last year he saw me struggling in pit (cuz that was HELL) and looked worried I CRY and he smiled at me too huuuhuuu himchan youre a fckn angel I LOVE YOU!!! I made a half heart at daehyun and hE FCKN COMPLETED IT I WAS ABOUT TO FCKN DIE RIGHT THEN AND THERE LIKE !!!!!!!!!!!! JOngup threw so many hearts and kisses at the crowd and youngjae blew so many kisses!! They were waving as much as possible to fans and daehyun, bless his heart, kept saying thank you!!thank you!! at any chance he could get!

During Q&A, bap spent the longest time arguing about harry potter houses pmsl and then yj was just like idk i never watched it (shame on you bro) and then himchan was like EXPECTRO PATRONUM!! (nerrRRRddddd). Jongup said he was fckn Dobby like bruH thats not even a house!!!

Youngjae pulled out a question, looked at it and was like NOPE! and put it back pmsl! The next question was what tricks can Mochii do and then youngjae was frckn like body slamming zelo and jongup lmaooo. Zelo was sooooo cute he was telling the story of how Mochii bit in all in English!! He said how he was eating and was struggling to explain that Mochii was under the table so BABYz were helping him! He said that he dropped cheese and then Mochii went to eat it but Zelo tried to stop him. Mochii bit and and then Zelo was like “ooh! bloood! my dog is ...wildlife” but the way he said blood was soo cute like the oo in moon instead of “blud”  This sweet precious boy!! His English was so good!!!! The next question was to sing happy birthday to a BABY named Jenny (wow you LUCKY girl im sooo jelly omfg). So Zelo sings her hbd really dramatically lmao and they give her their sweaty towel and Zelo gave her a water bottle too!! They’re so sweet!!!!!!! 

During their other talk segment, Youngjae was like since our tour in america, philly has been the most passionate! So we all SCREAMED and cheered like crazy! Daehyun was like hold up!! AGAIN! and went to grab a phone. He made us all scream and cheer again so he could record it. The boys kept gesturing to scream louder and more and were totally enjoying the cheers! I hope we conveyed our love for them well enough!! Also Daehyun release that footage soon pls!!! He told us we did a good job screaming lmaoo! Youngjae kept making sounds for us to repeat lmao like ooOOoooo (idk how to describe it LOL) and then was like “maestro!” when trying to silence us with his fingers like a conductor LOL but we kept screaming things LOL someone was like “this is my first kpop concert!!” so youngjae was like “sounds good!” and gave a thumbs up. Jongup also did the conductor thing hahahah Daehyun promised to come back again next year and I REALLY REALLY hope that they do!!!! 

The solos were beyond amazing. Like rewatching youngjae and daehyun’s solos made me tear up like how do such beautiful voices exist in this world? Did I really hear those ethereal voices in real life? It was sooo mesmerizing and breathtaking! Youngjae’s gorgeous baritone voice singing that smooth ballad huuuhuuu my heEArt!!! Daehyun’s heartwrenchingly beautiful voice, song, and lyrics wow let me just lie down and drown in my tears rn bYE! DaeUp’s duet was so cool, Jongup’s TML was perfect as usual, Zelo’s solo was sinful oh my those hip and that peach *blushes* it was suuuper fun and Zelo enjoyed it a LOT too!!! He lifted up his shirt!! 

THEN IT WAS M&G TIME!!! They set up the background right in front of the stage. We lined up to go in and bap was standing like: jongup, youngjae, daehyun, himchan, zelo! It was plat individual photos first, then baby group + hi-touch, then plat group + hi-touch. BABYz really went for it!! Like a lot of us got hugs! We were able to watch the whole m&g but they didnt let us have our phones out ;A; (and I also had used up all 6.5 GB of space on my phone OTL) BAP were SOOOOOOOO sweet UGH we stan literal ANGELS!! They love BABYz so fricken much!! JSJ was sooo nice to allow a lot of fan interactions AHHHHHHHH BAP did a lot of cute poses and played around with BABYz! LEt mE TELL YOU THAT BAP IS SERIOUSLY SOOOO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL, HANDSOME, GORGEOUS, STUNNING, MESMERIZING, UP CLOSE HOW DID MY HEART EVEN SURVIVE?????? I GOT TO BEAR HUG EVERYONEEEE THEYRE ALL SO TALL AND IM HELLA SMOL SO THEY HAD TO SQUAT DOWN FOR ME HUUHUU THYE LIKE PATTED MY BACK DURING THE HUGS TOO AHHHHHH WE HAD A DECENT AMOUNT OF TIME WITH ALL OF THEM!!! I TOLD DAEHYUN I SAW HIM IN KOREA IN ASU AND HE WAS LIKE OOOOOH THANK YOU!!! CURSES TO MY TINY AF VOICE CUZ I DONT THINK THEY ALL EVEN REALLY HEARD WHAT I SAID SOMETIMES!!! I told Zelo he was too tall for me lmaooo I really wanna see how much he had to bend down for me! I seriously wished that my m&g was recorded but :((((((((((( After my m&g I legit squealed and hugged my friend lmao but the staff yelled at us for being too loud LMAO BUT GIRL WE JUST HUGGED FCKN KINGS LIKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We tried to contain ourselves as much as possible LOL Daehyun said thank you out loud to a lot of BABYz after their m&g! Zelo kept dabbing at BABYz lmaooo a lot of them didnt notice tho cuz he would do it after they had already passed him HAHAHA when it was my hi-touch I dabbed at Zelo hahah and he dabbed back :D I wanted to get a group hug from them but i got too excited and FUCKING FORGOT to ask for a group hug *kicks myself* Now I wish I had written my name on a name tag (like “HI I’M JUNIE”) and hope they wouldve said “HI JUNIE”  but I didnt OTL 

I really wish I could relive the whole day. I wish I was able to record my m&g and got a group hug or them to say my name or I had said something more to them but it’s ok my heart is very very happy and I love bap soo much. My 7 year love for them continues and I will really love them forever. Let’s meet again soon, my loves! I’m looking forward to then~!

we talk a lot about junhong snapping one day and posting a nude or something but what about jongup?.... he is fully capable of ending humanity as we know it, completely on a whim... what would him snapping even look like? would he disappear from social media for a year? drop a full solo album that he recorded in the underground basement of an abandoned building, completely unannounced? mysteriously take over sm entertainment and win all the singing, dancing and rapping competition shows, then buy them too? start a cult?
