[INTERVIEW] B.A.P for High Cut Japan Magazine Vol. 2

B.A.P’s private talk

Q: All 6 of you are currently living together in a dorm. Are there any rules?

DH: Hmm~ For the showering order, it’s Yongguk, then Himchan. But when I’m tired, I sometimes go before them… (laughs). Usually it’s by age order. Anything is.

Q: What do you do about meals at the dorm?

YJ: Himchan cooks us food! He’s our mom.

HC: It’s probably because I can cook. It’s like cooking=mom… (laughs). I make things like kimchi chigae and fried rice.

JU: Ah! For my entrance exam he cooked me something special. He put butter and eggs on top of seasoned meat! It was really good.

Q: Describe the other members as a family?

DH: Bang Yongguk would be the dad, Youngjae the eldest son and me the second eldest.

YG: Dad… But I’m the same age as Himchan. Well, because of his face Jongup looks the same age as me (laughs).

YJ: I think I’m more of a relative, an uncle. Why? Don’t I give off a kind vibe?

Q: Is there food you want to try in Japan?

HC: Sushi and sashimi.

YG: Tuna.

HC: Only Yongguk and I like sashimi. The other members can’t eat raw fish.

YG: Except me they all like meat. I don’t really like meat…

HC: When we celebrate we always have samgyupsal (N/T: fatty pork belly). That’s why he doesn’t like it (laughs).

JU: I just thought about this now but, coming to Japan Youngjae also speaks Japanese, I feel like I’m the only one in a 4th dimension.

Q: I noticed this when doing the interview. You are all good at Japanese.

HC: Me, Youngjae and Daehyun are in charge of Japanese. The other three are in charge of English.

YJ: I started with hiragana 2 years ago. But I started studying seriously maybe 6 months ago. Everyone is doing their best at studying.

Q: Any Japanese you learned recently?

YJ: “Lyrics.” Because the lyrics to our music are important. We use it a lot when explaining so I learned it.

DH: “As I thought”, “I see.” Interviewers use it a lot, and it’s often used in manga.

Q: What do you want to try in Japan?

HC: I want to try acting and appearing in variety TV programs. But it’s something I can’t do without speaking Japanese so I have to study more. Do you know the Japanese drama “Stand Up”? It stars Kazunari Ninomiya and YamaP. It’s a funny, sitcom-like drama. My older sister was a NEWS fanclub member (laughs). She even went to their concert (laughs). That’s why I was interested in Japan since I was a kid.

DH: All the members like Japanese anime, movies, dramas and manga.

ZL: I like the manga “Naruto.”

YG: (in Japanese) BABYz, let’s go to the convenience store together!

HC: It’s Yongguk’s favourite phrase. He’s been saying it all the time lately. Japanese convenience stores are amazing! Dango (N/T: sweet rice balls)! We were told they were good and tried them, and they really were good.

YG: I like melon bread.

HC: I want to go shopping in Japan. All the members really like shoes, and we all buy a lot of them. We have our arena tour in Japan from November so I really want to go shopping then~

Q: Finally, what dream do you want to realize in Japan in a year?

YJ: I think it will be hard to accomplish in one year, but I really want to hurry and have a Dome tour. (N/T: domes are bigger venues than arenas)

YG: We’ll work hard so it can come true!
