📷 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."
