An average age of 20. Despite being old enough to get rid of the looks of a
young teen, the freshness is still intact. "I cannot believe I've debuted", they
said with bashful smiles, making them look like the innocent boys in manhwas.
The fans who noticed this charm said that "they (B1A4) is an idol group that
tore up (jjit) and came out of the comic (manhwa)", hence the nickname
'manjjit-dol'.

The five innocent men of B1A4 came to the office of Kuki
Media in Seoul Sangam-dong on 25 May. 'Be the one, All for one', when five
members become one, they will become the best. The meaning of their group name
B1A4 is one filled with resolution, and emphasizes on teamwork. That is due to
the fact that since the first time they met as trainees 2 years ago, up until
now, they have never fought. It was clear that even during the interview, no
matter who spoke, they would trust and rely on each other.

"It was not
easy for the members who grew up in different environments to become one. It was
with a lot of talking, that we managed to understand each other. Every Saturday,
we would have a pre-arranged talk time, to tell each other what we did good, and
what we didn't do good. Compliments and advices are given without any holding
it. As we talk about this and that, all the resentment will disappear. As we did
this for 2 years continually, we grew to learn to trust each other. We are aware
of each other's inclinations and skills, and learnt to fill in the lacking gaps
together.

Before B1A4 became 1, they all walked different paths.
Firstly, Jinyoung (Jung Jinyoung, 21) debuted as an actor. He appeared with
minor roles in KBS drama 'My Mom, Super Mom' and cable channel MBC Dramanet
'Chosun Police'. He has also topped a 'flower boy' poll held by Mnet, beating
out SHINee's Jonghyun. His current agency noticed him after seeing a picture
posted by netizens on an online cafe, and offered him an audition. After all his
efforts, he became B1A4's leader, and leads his members with a gentle charisma.

The awards that Sandeul (Lee Junghwan, 20) have won are impressive. In
order to prove his skills, he has participated in many singing competitions and
swept away 20 awards. He won the daesang award at the Korea Youth Song Festival
in 2009. His experience has led him to be the team's main vocal.

Shinwoo
(Shin Dongwoo, 21) has gained a lot of hands-on experience by performing along
the streets of Hongdae, as well as participating in various singing
competitions. Alongside Jinyoung of the same age as eldest hyungs, they guide
and lead the team together. His rap skills are also outstanding.

Baro
(Cha Sunwoo, 20) was introduced to music as he sang and rapped along to songs. A
picture of him on the Internet received a record-high number of hits, and he
received an offer for an audition from his current agency. When he matches up
with Shinwoo, their rap skills are totally revealed.

Gongchan (Gong
Chansik, 19) is an online star. A picture uploaded by a friend caused netizens
to give him high praises of 'flower boy'. Despite his awkwardness, he is the
team's cute maknae with an innocent charm.

They finally greeted everyone
for the first time together as one with their first album 'Let's Fly'. Their
title song O.K has a rock base, with electronic beats. They are well-prepared
enough to be able to personally participate in writing songs. Member Baro made
the rap for all their songs, while leader Jinyoung wrote and composed the track
Bling Girl.

"I wrote the lyrics with my imagination. With the thought of
'what if I felt wild', I cautiously wrote the lyrics. I'm very happy that there
have been many responses that (the lyrics) go well with the feel of the song.
(Laugh) I am very glad that I could participate in the debut album." (Baro)

"It's really hard to get a song on an album, isn't it? It is even more
so for a lacking rookie seeking an opportunity to be noticed. I was in doubt,
thinking 'will the song I made be good enough'. Upon given the opportunity, I
used all my strength to hang on. You have no idea how happy I was that a song I
made would be put on the album. It was simply amazing, and I felt proud.
(Laugh)" (Jinyoung)

A good start. Title song O.K has been steadily
receiving love and interest on the various online music portal sites. A fansign
held on 21 May at Seoul's Kyobo Hottracks Yeongdeungpo confirmed B1A4's
successful debut. Despite being rookies, fans from Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia,
America, Poland, France, Mexico and Italy flocked to the fansign. Behind this
large crowd is the strength of social networking. The number of fans increased
significantly after the images of their webtoon was posted onto Youtube. The
agency official stated "Even though the language is different, they (the fans)
said that the songs have good rhythms and are very nice. There were many
responses that they liked the clean image of them coming out from a comic".

As expected of an online star, the group name 'B1A4' appeared on
Twitter's World Trends #3 on 23 April 2011. Thanks to his exceptional vocals,
member Sandeul was #5 on the search. His video cover of Park Hyoshin 'Because I
Am A Common Man' on MBC Radio 'Shim Shim Ta Pa' was spread worldwide through
Youtube. What is the charm of B1A4 that is able to reach out to every country?

"Um, firstly... It's definitely not the looks. (Laugh) We are not like
popular idol groups who are as good looking as sculptures, we don't have the
looks. Perhaps it's the amiable impression we have on people, and the friendly
charm. We give off the comfortable feeling of your neighbourhood oppas. We treat
all the fans that we meet at fansigns kindly like friends. Is it not because of
that? Haha."

Of course, popularity does not only come from being
friendly. Everyone seems to know the secret. They said, "We have confidence in
singing. We believe in our skills.", and are aiming for the rookie group of the
year award.

"There is a prejudice that if you are an idol singer, you
cannot sing. We'll change it. We'll stand every stage each time with a different
look, so please give us a lot of time. We'll seize the rookie award, so please
look forward to it. (Laugh)"

5인조 아이돌 그룹 B1A4(비원에이포)의 래퍼 바로(BARO)가 같은 광주 출신의 선배인 동방신기 유노윤호와 얽힌 특별한 인연을 소개했다.

최근 B1A4와 가진 인터뷰에서 바로는 "첫 방송 때, '무대에서 만나자'던 윤호 선배님과의 약속을 지키게 돼 너무 기뻤다"며 감격스런 사연을 전했다.

유노윤호에 대해 "이미 동방신기로 데뷔하기 전부터 광주에서 모르는 이가 없을 정도로 춤꾼으로 유명했다"고 전한 바로는 "그런 선배님을 서울에 올라온 뒤, 우연히 한 커피숍에서 만나게 돼 설레는 마음으로 다가갔다"고 회상했다.

당시 바로는 연습생 신분이었으며, 유노윤호에게 다가가 사인을 요청했다. 동방신기는 최고의 인기를 누리던 시기였지만, "광주 출신"이라는 바로의 말에 유노윤호는 학교와 지역을 물어보는 등 친절함을 보였다는 후문.

사인 CD에 남겨준 "나중에 무대에서 꼭 만나요!"라는 유노윤호와의 약속은 2년 후에 실현됐다.

바로는 "MBC '쇼! 음악중심'에서 BqA4의 첫 데뷔를 치르던 날, 행운처럼 윤호 선배님을 다시 만나게 됐다"며 "떨리는 마음으로 먼저 인사를 드렸는데, 저를 기억한다는 말에 표현할 수 없이 기뻤다"고 벅찬 감회를 전했다.

진 영(리더), 바로(랩), 산들(메인보컬), 신우(보컬), 공찬(보컬) 등 으로 구성된 B1A4는 첫 미니앨범 ‘렛츠 플라이(Let's Fly)’의 데뷔곡 ‘O.K’를 발표하고 라이브형 아이돌로 주목받으며 인기 상승세를 누리고 있다.

Rapper of 5-membered idol group B1A4, Baro talked about his special bond with TVXQ's U-Know Yunho, both of them coming from Gwangju.

In a recent interview with B1A4, Baro revealed a touching story. "I was really happy to be able to keep the promise of 'Let's meet on stage at your first broadcast' with senior U-Know Yunho."

Baro said that U-Know Yunho "was very famous in Gwangju, to the point that no one did not know who he was, even before his debut as part of TVXQ." He recalled, "On my way up to Seoul, I encountered him by chance in a coffeshop, and approached him excitedly."

At that time, Baro was a trainee, and he approached U-Know Yunho for an autograph. Even though TVXQ was at the peak of their popularity then, he showed much kindness to "Gwangju-born" Baro, and even asked him about his education and district (where he lived in).

On the autographed CD, he wrote "Let's meet on stage in 2 years' time", and that promise was kept.

On the day of B1A4's debut at MBC Music Core, as if like magic, Baro was able to meet senior Yunho again. He conveyed with much emotion, "I greeted him first with a nervous heart, and I cannot express how happy I was when he said he remembered me".

B1A4 is made up of Jinyoung (leader), Baro (rap), Sandeul (main vocal), Shinwoo (vocal) and Gongchan (vocal). They are being noted as live-dols and are enjoying rising popularity with promotions of debut song 'O.K' from their first mini-album 'Let's Fly'.
