D.N.A YOUNG JAE
The fourth up, letâs investigate the identity of agent Youngjae! I like singing and Iâm Youngjae who is in charge of being the lead vocalist in B.A.P. The first American music I came across was the title song âLOVEâ from Musiq Soulchildâs first album. Because of that one song, I got into American music and still enjoy listening to it to this day. I really like the anime âOne Pieceâ and whenever I have time, I make sure to watch it! Even if I donât get enough sleep, I have this divine talent of acting like Iâm ânot tired.â However, my tonic even washes away this divine talent! Our showcase that we held recently has been my biggest tonic during my days of busy schedules and lack of sleep. When we first stood on stage, we were at standby at a height of 4m above the stage and the lights were shut off then. In between the curtains, I was able to see 3,000 light sticks glow before the curtains and at that moment, I got goose bumps all over my body. The happiness then still gives me strength to this day which helps me forget my struggles despite promoting, to not lose my roots, and that I have to keep heading forward in knowing that this is just half of the beginning. The investigation of agent Youngjaeâs identity is finished. Weâll work hard, yes sir!
MATO# RABBIT
The UP&DOWN rabbit thatâs dressed in a clean suit. The overall color for my bunny is yellow and although the eyes are dazed~ the bunny is dressed down neatly in a suit. I wish that the bunny character would be a bunny that can belt out a charming note when singing. Because my blood type is AB, my emotions are really inconsistent so the bunny character would be full of playfulness, no? When itâs sad, it would be slouched and when itâs happy, it would hop up because itâs so excited~ I think a bunny character like that is most fitting with me. However, the most important thing is! Beside that bunny is a bunny friend like Daehyun who is good at taking jokes to be with it. Daehyun is the type of guy whoâs really laid back in that he even takes all of my severe jokes when Iâm feeling really happy.
What Iâm in charge of at the dorm. Iâm in charge of organizing in our team. Whenever thereâs stuff sprawled out or the dorm is just messy in general, Iâm in charge of cleaning it up and making everything even again. Sixty seconds is plenty to fix neatly all the papers, crackers, and remote sprawled out on the table. Iâm pretty much a vacuum robot~
B.A.P# FIRST SINGLE ALBUM
Q: âWarrior is ____.â Describe the song in one phrase with character.
YJ: âWarrior is a song that makes me worried!â Normally, dry rehearsals take place early in the morning and my part is right after Yongguk hyungâs part and I tend to worry a lot over the condition of my voice since my part is really high pitched. The moment I open my eyes in the morning, I think, âCan I sing well today?!â I worry first and foremost about how I can maintain my voice since itâs important to do so, so I try not to use my voice as much as I can and before I go to bed, I either hang up a wet towel (*T/N: Hanging a wet towel in the room can help act as a humidifier) or I try to make my body in its most sensitive state so I can know the status of my voice right away.
Q: If there was a moment that triggered you to become a singer or discover your musical talent, what was it and how did you come across it?
YJ: It was when I was a second year in junior high and I sang with my friends for the talent show on our school trip. When I went on stage, our peers would clap and respond to our singing. That feeling exhilarated me and since then, I think I liked singing. I wasnât the type to be born with a talent for singing nor did I discover my musical talent alone. It just came naturally in how I achieved my dreams of becoming a singer with my efforts.
Q: Whatâs one thing you can take pride in regarding how much youâve matured in comparison to when you were preparing for B.A.Pâs debut?
YJ: I can pretend to be less tired despite being tired. If one of the members shows signs of tiredness among the six, then everyone becomes tired. So thatâs why when everyoneâs tired, I smile brightly and create a fun atmosphere. If you look at it from that perspective, not only did I mature but my dongsengs did as well.
