Super rookie B.A.P lands in Taiwan
Holds concert to celebrate 500 days since debut

B.A.P who is planning to conquer the earth has began holding their Pacific concert tour since this May.
Under the BABYz anticipation, B.A.P finally arrived in Taiwan again.
On the day of the concert, what’s even more worth celebrating is—B.A.P’s 500th day since debut!
Such a special day, hurry and celebrate with TRENDY and B.A.P on a date!

DATE ONE
The night before 500 days since debut, TRENDY’s cover artist’s specially prepared interview!

Since their debut, TRENDY has had quite an affinity with B.A.P. On such a memorable day of 500 days since debut, B.A.P coincidentally has their Taiwan concert, how can TRENDY not help them celebrate?

Contagious “PUHA laughter" photo time

B.A.P who immediately began carrying out their extremely tightly-packed marathon schedule after getting off the plane, by the time they met with the TRENDY crew, it was already their last schedule, but the six of them still look energized. When they saw TRENDY’s specially prepared balloons for the shoot, B.A.P members yelled out loud and they seemed really happy just as though they would float up together with the balloons! When they were told to take a “cool" shot first under the request of the photographer, Daehyun couldn’t resist and started the “Puha" laughter, thereafter this “puha" started spreading as though it was contagious, in the end, originally leader Bang Yongguk who was trying to hold it in also gave out, six of them laughing happily as a bunch. B.A.P’s good mood also spread to the staff on site, completing this photoshoot filled with laughter.

Interview time starts with a “surprise"

TRENDY’s surprise for B.A.P, of course isn’t only the balloons during the photoshoot. Before the interview started, TRENDY specially brought out cupcakes that had candles on them spelling out “B.A.P 500 DAY". When the B.A.P members saw the cake, they were surprised and elated and shouted “what’s this?", “is something happening?" and they couldn’t resist smiling with shining eyes, hiding their normally tough, cool and handsome image on stage and revealing the cute sunshine boy underneath without regret.

Arriving at the “500 day since debut" milestone, the six B.A.P members were both cheering and accepting the staffs’ congratulatory applause, and politely smiled and said “thank you!"

Asking them what they thought about 500 days since debut? Himchan laughed and said “I really can’t believe we’ve debuted for 500 days already! I’m really thankful to the members and BABYz who kept supporting us. In the future we will show more varied and better appearances to show everyone, hope everyone continues to look forward to it!" About the changes within these 500 days, Himchan thought that “going through these days, we’re more able to express ourselves comfortably on stage, and show more performances to everyone." Youngjae thinks that “being able to hold a concert tour, to us, can be seen as a big reward for debuting 500 days!" As the leader, Yongguk, sentimentally expressed his gratitude for five hundred days: “The six of us went through 500 days together, it’s not really short, but not long either, hope we can work hard to keep surging forward towards our dreams, and not to give up before we reach it! Even if you think it’s something impossible, you have to complete it!" When leader Yongguk was speaking, firstly Himchan looked touched and squeezed his nose bridge seemingly trying to hold in his tears. (Even though on site it seemed like there was more humorous content than sentimental) Youngjae put his hands on Zelo and Jongup’s shoulders, indicating that they would keep going together! For Daehyun who isn’t too used to these “sentimental" settings, purposely laugh and yell out: “too forced" to cover his embarrassment.

However after playing around, from their composed gazes, it isn’t difficult to realize that perhaps because these six people carry the same beliefs that they are able to extend their stage to the entire world within a short 500 days since debut.

Never stopping to fulfill their dreams
B.A.P who is carrying out their “Live On Earth Pacific Tour", held concerts at Japan and even across the Pacific ocean in America, and received relatively passionate responses. Not only in Taiwan do they have dazzling achievements, also in China they received the confirmation of a rookie award. B.A.P who is already going towards the road of an international superstar seems to have set their own standards even higher. When talking about their shockingly good achievements, leader Bang Yongguk modestly said: “I actually don’t really dare to think that we’re already some type of “celebrity", it’s only that we’re B.A.P who is quite seriously producing music. Once our future efforts have fulfilled our dreams and become more influential, I hope that we can be able to give a positive influence."
B.A.P who continuously works hard to communicate with their fans through their music, in their second mini album “ONE SHOT", also carry the idea of hoping that teenagers like themselves won’t give up easily and take action, getting up and chasing your own dream. Leader Yongguk also said that “the song “ONE SHOT" is trying to tell adolescents not to miss good opportunities, and grasping onto their own chances. I hope that by listening to the messages we tried to deliver through our song and album they can fulfill their wishes."
The ideal summer holiday is?

On their overseas schedules, what sparks curiosity is what BA.P members must bring with them?
After some serious thought, Himchan looked at the other members and answered “things we must bring… probably MP3 and laptop!" Zelo made an action of putting on earphones, Daehyun, Jongup and Youngjae also nodded in agreement, Yongguk also added: “we have to bring something you can listen to music with." Seems like music is really B.A.P’s important companion!

B.A.P who has been fairly busy since debut, if they had to chance to have summer holidays, where would they want to go and what do they want to do?

Busan boy Daehyun said without hesitation: “whenever it’s summer, I want to go to the beach, like Busan’s GwangAn beach or Haeundae, they’re both awesome places!" Jongup said Korea’s must-go place for playing with water — “Carribean Bay" water park. Himchan expressed: “because of busy schedules, even when we go overseas we can’t go sightseeing properly, so if we have a long vacation, we can go travelling overseas."

Leader Yongguk suddenly thought of something and laughed saying: “I hope that apart from rehearsing, we can do something else together. Korea has a military experience camps, if the six of us have the chance to try it out together, it seems pretty nice." Youngjae also joined in on the discussion: “Getting punished together, accepting hell-like training….." You can only see Daehyun furiously shaking his head next to Yongguk, as though not really wanting to join an experience camp like that. Daehyun who was especially paid attention to by TRENDY, under Yongguk’s “attention", hurriedly explained: “it’s…because there are mosquitoes!" Through his serious eyes you can see he’s failing to hide his laughter, and got the other members laughing.
