“We accept appear to beat Earth!”
It’s a aberrant byword to be sure, as it’s mostly heard in sci-fi movies from angry villains or aliens from alien space. But actuality amazing is article that amateur accumulation B.A.P (‘Best Absolute Perfect’) is bent to become, and so the byword has angry into their claimed mission statement.
The six affiliate accumulation — comprised of baton Bang Yong Guk, Zelo, Himchan, Youngjae, Jongup, and Daehyun – sat bottomward with Star News afresh to altercate their dreams and goals.
The account began with the reporter’s ascertainment that the amateur group’s alpha has been as adventurous as their ambition. So far, B.A.P managed to draw 3,000 admirers to their admission advertise and ranked in the top 10 on Billboard‘s ‘World Anthology Chart’ — all advertence that their admission has not been like that of a archetypal idol group.
Leader Bang Yong Guk stated, “Our six members’ unified dream is ‘world domination’. We absolutely demand to become a apple group. Although it’s a ambition that’s far into the future, the dreams we currently authority are to angle on MTV’s Apple Stage in Malaysia as the assembly of Korea. Since our admission anthology is now out, we demand to appearance aggregate that we’ve been preparing.”
Their admission album, ‘Warrior‘, contains the appellation clue of the aforementioned name, in accession to ‘Burn It Up’, ‘Unbreakable’, and ‘Secret Love’ (featuring SECRET‘s Song Ji Eun). The adumbrative clue of the album, “Warrior”, contains lyrics analytical of society, a move that accomplish abroad from the ‘love song trend’ begin in added macho idol groups.
Himchan explained the action of how their anthology came to life. “When we work, we argue anniversary other. While addition out our aboriginal agreeable direction, we told ourselves to not do the aforementioned music as anybody else.

I demand to accumulate singing songs that accept behavior to them.”

B.A.P’s performances accept apparent a allure rarely apparent from added idol groups, arch abounding to catechism if this accumulation alleged B.A.P is absolutely a rookie. From their able choreography to their acute gazes, the boys sing and rap their way through a acute performance.
Their able activity has alike acquired the date to accord way. During their pre-recording for SBS‘ ‘Inkigayo’, the date was clumsy to bear Bang Yong Guk’s “step performance” and gave way below his feet.
Jongup stated, “Whenever we angle on stage, article consistently breaks. In a contempo recording, two mic packs were damaged, and we alike cut accessible our hands. We never apprehend that our bodies accept been aching until the achievement ends. When we’re up on date performing, we’re so focused that we aren’t able to feel that we’ve been hurt.”
The associates revealed, “When we angle on stage, rather than actuality nervous, we shiver with excitement.”
Although the accumulation has already accurate themselves as absolutely able of accomplishing their mission, they still authority assimilate a apprehensive mindset.
Himchan accustomed that they still accept means to go. “Since all six of us are blondes, alike admirers get abashed about our names. So we should apparently get our names out there aboriginal afore we’re able to beat Earth. (laughs) We demand to become a aggregation that leads the trends in areas like fashion, music, and dance. For 2012 in particular, we achievement anybody will become blondes and use B.A.P’s choreography to diet.”
Bang Yong Guk declared the versatility of their agreeable appearance with, “We are currently a white canvas that any account can be fatigued on.” He continued, “All the associates adulation African-American music abounding with soul. If I can be built-in again, I’d like to be built-in as an African-American and do music.”
