#anf references

Park Kyung: Zico's best friend since grade school. He's obviously fearing being stuck in Zico's shadow as a rapper, currently. I find their kind of bromance interesting since Kyung admits Zico's his biggest rival, as well as his savior- while Zico doesn't consider Kyung as a 'rival' at all. In a way, I honestly think Kyung WANTS to be acknowledged in that light by Zico. Maybe in the past, it was enough to be friends and a underground rap duo, but I get the sense that Kyung feels this need to stand on his own and 'be on the same level' as Zico's talent/charisma. Their friendship is obviously showing some strain right now, but I think once Kyung realizes what he wants out of their friendship and gets over his own insecurities, they'll be all right again. Clearly protective and almost possessive- he gave a lot of the new members the side eye since he's used it being he and Zico, alone. He probably has had the most friction with Jaehyo, but he, Zico, P.O., and Jaehyo all seem to be hanging out as friends from Twitter photos and updates, which is a good sign.

Ahn Jaehyo: Group sub-vocalist and Ulzzang. I initially wrote him off as this arrogant pretty boy, but he's currently rivaling Zico in terms of my group bias. Jaehyo is... extremely awkward. He'll joke around that he's 'the best', yet is uncomfortably self-effacing and honest when questioned seriously about his talents and role- which, he admits freely, 'isn't much' in Block B. I get the feeling he's the kind of person who always drifted through life, not really having obvious talent in anything. He's shown promise in fields before, but ultimately was outshined by others time and time again. Seeing him step up to the plate in sports related fields has shown he's fiercely competitive and strives to win on his own merits, but even where he's lacking in skill/technique, he makes up for it in pure dogged drive. He really seems to be looking for his niche in life, which hopefully he's found with his 'family' in Block B. Like Zico, he becomes oddly serious and contemplative in his Twitter posts- definitely isn't the type who likes to be pitied at all. It's interesting that he sucks at talking/being charming- otherwise he'd pretty much be that stereotypical K-Pop idol image... I think his quiet seriousness/awkwardness is ultimately what makes him a good fit with Block B. Zico clearly is in love with poking him and wrestling him into submission due to the way he responds- it's pushing some kind of button, for him. Jaehyo, funnily enough, just kind complains a bunch, but lets it happen (also the case with Taeil, ha ha). 

Lee Taeil: Main Vocalist. He's clearly hiding an 'inner bitch' side beneath that cute and short exterior- The group has attested he's got the fastest mouth. He's got this... hilarious subdued determination- like when he and Kyung were backing out of the bungee jump, he just stood up and quietly announced he'd never get another chance to do it, so he did. And pinwheeled the entire way down, but he did it XD. He's really talented at singing, but doesn't seem to brag about it, despite being exceptionally skilled. That's the thing about Taeil, he seems really... unassuming and harmless, but he's clearly got this devilish/mischievous side that comes out in full force and when it does, it's awesome.
