You have been in the industry for 10 years. Some people may know you but for those who don’t, could you briefly talk about yourself?

CNU – Hello, we are a K-Pop idol group where B1A4 stands for ‘Be the one, All for one’, which contains the bright energy emitting from all three members.

SANDEUL – CNU, youngest member GONGCHAN, and I have been working on music for ten years together and we are extremely multi-talented in vocals and producing. We are not only active in music but also in TV drama, variety programs, musicals and many other fields, so we would love to be able to meet everyone through other outlets.

GONGCHAN – We are extremely happy to be able to greet everyone through this interview. We hope that our international BANA could look forward to B1A4’s various activities!

You celebrated your 10th anniversary in April. How have you changed and developed yourself in these 10 years? What was the biggest difference between the beginning of your career and the position you are in today?

CNU – I believe that there’s been many transitions and changes to our music during the last ten years. We’ve put a lot of thought into what kind of music we wanted to make and what type of music goes well with us. We also strived to create music that defined our own genre, so we never stopped working on our music. The biggest change between our debut days and now would be that we feel a lot more responsibility. K-Pop is being loved by so many nowadays so I feel that what we do could possibly have an impact upon our fans, seniors, colleagues, and juniors. Which is why we feel a greater sense of responsibility to give our best when creating music in order to have a positive impact.

SANDEUL – I personally feel that B1A4 has grown a lot compared to how we were ten years ago. During the ten years, we each found our unique charms and worked hard in order to showcase our charms better. Through this process, I believe we were able to build a deeper sensibility and distinctive sonic elements. Which is why I could say that B1A4 is a group that you want to definitely look forward to.

GONGCHAN – In April, we held our fan meet celebrating our 10th anniversary and it was a new experience. I was thankful that we were able to celebrate such a meaningful day together for the past ten years with our members. We’ve matured and grown a lot during the ten years, and we have also worked on creating B1A4’s very own musical color. And all those years have made our more solid and bonded more than ever.

You had the opportunity to try many different styles of music over this time. Is there any different music style that you want to try out?

CNU – I am personally interested in Korean traditional music. If given the opportunity, I would love for us to do a collaboration or a cross-over with Korean transitional music. I do want to try creating a new type of musical style that hasn’t been attempted before by incorporating the beauty and charms of Korean traditional music.
