[Interview] Bang Yongguk - Idol’s Studio by Park Hee A

Introduction: B.A.P Bang Yongguk 

“I want there to be a day where if the music speaks to me, I answer”

(T/N: the same quote above, that was translated a little differently, below) 

“When I listen to music, it feels like a real friend. Sometimes in certain music I find messages that I wish to answer” (trans by himchansass)

B.A.P’s leader Bang Yongguk is a serene person. Without speaking and without obeying set rules he does his work. He covers his face. He’s very shy. The people surrounding him until the interview started kept checking on him asking “Are you really going to do this interview?” Time has passed since his idol group’s debut 7 years ago, yet even so towards his fans he can still feel very awkward about expressing himself, and so he’s a person who has regrets about holding back on affectionate words. However, when he was active through his underground hip hop mixtapes under the name Jepp Blackman, he lived without self censorship. At this time his unrefined, powerful rap fit this raw expression of his own self. Now hearing Bang Yongguk’s stories I have had to redefine my understanding of him. Bang Yongguk does not speak many words but listens well to, and enjoys, other people’s stories. Whilst working on music even when he thinks something is unfair he will still be happy. Even when he’s found something interesting he is very calm.

BYG: Actually, I’m not writing B.A.P songs these days. It’s too hard to make it myself. Instead, I asked the A&R team to bring me good music. There is always a joy of making music. But the entertainment industry is a results-oriented system, and the stress from it has come to a great extent. When I’m working on music, I feel happy about it even though I’m stressed out. By the way, it is a resultant approach that always sells a few records on the market. I was so stressed out about that. I didn’t feel it at first. Now I’d like to put that burden down a little. When I was working on B.A.P music, I thought I had different mind, but I guess that was part of it.

BYG: When I was making B.A.P music, I felt pressure. The results are very important. Will our team be better if I won’t make music? Is this all I can make? Our members are people who have to be succeed, so i was always was stressed out with this thought: what if they’re not doing so well because I’ve been making our music? At first I didn’t think this way because our team was doing well, but at times when we weren’t doing as well I couldn’t help but think that it was because of me.

BYG: These days everything is different. These days, it’s sort of.. I feel like a tiger without its teeth. I used to think of members as of kids I’m responsible for but now as they grew up a lot that they work harder themselves. If they see me struggling/having hard times and that’s what their team good at, we can rely on each other. I have people to lean on when I have hard times. 

BYG: I think being an idol is a very difficult job. So I’m very proud of being an idol and I admire those who have this job. I don’t think anyone can do as much as fans do for us. I can exist as an idol because they’re here. (- Yongguk always says he respects his fans.-)  I can’t say I love you because I’m so shy and it’s embarrassing. “ (Laughter) 

BYG: Yes, for sure I mean that. Babyz, I respect you.
