Whenever I see people say 2nd gen Kpop groups didn't have hard choreo I just KNOW that person doesn't know B.A.P. These men could not stay away from the ground for more than ten seconds, they were out there doing push ups and playing around with spray cans. My man Jongup was leapfrogging, breakdancing and doing somersaults just because. Mr. Choi Junhong was 16 and breaking his back on the floor then getting up like it was nbd before proceeding to spit the sickest verse known to man. And they made it look so fucking easy while delivering high quality rap and vocals everytime

exclusive interview: BANG YONGGUK shares moments from 'III' US TOUR 2024, challenges, future plans and more.

Q: Congratulations on completing your ‘III’ The US TOUR 2024! How did you feel to successfully wrapped up a full month of concert?

I want to say thank you so much to the fans who gave me so much inspiration and love. Without them, I couldn't carry out the schedule. It felt like we performed together in every performance.

Q: What was it like during the tour? Any moments that you want to share with fans?

I sang all the songs on my new album live. It was just released, and it was really special that so many people sang it together. These were moments where I felt deeply in my heart how much they loved me and my music.

Q: You’ve been to Europe, Asia, America, almost all over the world. Did you perform differently each time or did you try to convey the same experience?

Usually, I make one chapter of setlist for a tour. I think I naturally take the ending and encore songs according to the atmosphere of each city or country. After a year-long tour, we prepare a new set list from the next year. That's why I think I put a lot of time and thought into making a set list for the tour.

Q: Can you describe the atmosphere and vibe of your tour that will make people want to attend again and again?

It's hard to fill up the entire 2 hours by myself. I think it's a special moment that the fans fill the empty space on the stage together. I'm not a good speaker, so I'm going to sing at least one more song live rather than a comment. I feel like I'm performing together with the fans. I think that creates an atmosphere where my performances become special.

Q: Performing every other day must have been challenging for you. How do you keep your energy and voice healthy throughout the tour?

It's not easy. This time, there were performances that I was not in good condition, and there were moments when I blamed myself. I refrain from going out as much as possible and stay inside the hotel only before the performance. I only take a light walk when I go outside. It's important to save energy and prevent other illnesses. Sometimes, my manager comes to check if I'm alive, and I think it's the only time I've met someone. Unfortunately, that's how I keep myself in good shape and protect myself throughout the tour. (laughs)

Q: What should we look forward to from your next plan?

I'm preparing for a new project in summer, and I've been planning it slowly since the U.S. The moment I came back to Korea after the tour, I haven't had a day off yet.

Q: In the future, when people look back at Bang Yongguk and the music you’ve made, is there a certain way you would like it to be seen or remembered?

I like to hear that Bang Yongguk's music is like Bang Yongguk. If people remember me as an artist who has his own style, regardless of the chart rankings and album sales, I think my career has succeeded just by hearing that. That's why I make music.

Q: To all your fans and listeners who wants to know and learn more about Bang Yongguk, what is the best way for them to do so?

I hope you listen to my first full-length album, "BANGYONGGUK." I think you'll know more about me. And I don't think I'll be able to make an album like that in the future. (laughs)

Listen to Bang Yongguk's "BANGYONGGUK" here!

Q: Thank you so much for spending some time with MY K-POP WIRE! Any last words to your fans?

I would like to express my love and respect to the fans who always give us a lot of love. Please continue to show your interest and support for that way I will show as an artist,  Bang Yongguk. I will be back. Thank you.

"Colors of Bang Yongguk Tour" Fan Account - Oakland, CA (230616)

It’s been 2 days since I saw Yongguk live and he’s truly been on my mind non-stop for the last 48 hours. :’) 

>>Personal “Origin” Story<< Since B.A.P debuted and were active during my high school and college years, unfortunately I never had the money (or time) to be able to attend any of their concerts. When I saw that Yongguk was going on tour, I didn’t know what to think -- I’ve been in and out of my “kpop phase” for the last 12 years, and the only group that I consistently stanned throughout that time was BTS. All of my friends are either newer kpop fans or strictly girl group fans so I knew I’d be going to this concert alone, but ultimately I knew it wouldn’t be a big deal as I’ve gone solo to many concerts in the past. I saw the (shockingly) low price of the ticket and the venue being so nostalgic (I partied a decent amount at The New Parish pre-COVID lol) so I bought my ticket happily in May. The excitement did nothing but grow overtime.

I’ve been thinking about how many BABYz used to write fan accounts during fan signings/concerts waaay back in the day (if you were on Tumblr during 2012-2014, you’ll know what I mean). I remember being a teenager discovering kpop for the first time, having B.A.P be the first group where I started stanning since debut, learned every member’s name, kept up with releases on the daily, had Yongguk become my first “ult bias” (before I even knew what that was) and “fan’d” my heart out every comeback on Tumblr. I wanted to write a fan account to remember this concert but also hopefully share it with other long-time BABYz who are feeling nostalgic!

>>Going solo to the concert<< As (somewhat) expected, I met some amazing people in line as well as inside the venue who were also attending the concert solo! For me, I love hearing about how others got into stanning a certain musician or group as well as their favorite(s) song(s). As someone who didn’t grow up with other “kpop friends”, it felt so surreal to think that there were others like me 10+ years ago fully enjoying the same music, and having that musician tie everyone together now one decade later. Sometimes I get anxious in crowds and especially with strangers, but I did not feel that way for even a minute before, during, and after the concert. Maybe it’s a mix of the Bay Area/California and long-time BABY vibes. (Also fun sidenote: some people and I were comparing our tattoos in line and we said “Okay now it’s time for Yongguk to do a tattoo tour. Show the chest piece pls” -- So when Yongguk came out in that button-up shirt with only two buttons buttoned and his chest tattoo on full display… I need y’all to know we manifested that for everyone’s benefit. 😩🫡)

>>REACTION TO THE CONCERT & SONGS<< I’m not sure how long people were lined up for, but I arrived around 5PM (doors opened at 6PM and the concert started at 7PM) and I ended up standing to the right of the stage (Yongguk’s left) in the second/third-ish row right next to the speakers with an amazing up close view the entire night. (In hindsight, I should have remembered to bring my ear plugs because I’m not as young as I used to be and should probably take better care of my eardrums and hearing lol). Also, as I mentioned before, I knew the venue relatively well so I knew to go to the side closer to the stage rather than standing several rows back in the middle even if it meant having not as wide of a view of the stage. The person next to me and I were super excited because our angle meant we were going to be able to see the minute Yongguk appeared from off stage and onto the stage. 

Although normally I do not listen to the setlist of artists before their concerts, I hadn’t listened to Yongguk consistently in years so I did look up the setlist and made my own Spotify playlist to get myself hyped up and ready to sing along. As soon as Yongguk came out, I feel like I metaphorically blacked out for the first couple songs (GMT, Up, Race) because I did not remember those performances until I watched others’ fancams. I think I came to my senses during “Rain on Me” because that is THE twerk anthem. The sex appeal and confidence from him from the start of the concert (and especially during “Rain on Me”) was no joke. I feel like my jaw was probably embarrassingly dropped wide open for all of the first songs. There’s also something feral that awakes inside me everytime he says “you never fucking know” and the chorus of “UFO” starts then his voice DROPS a register as he starts rapping and hearing that live??? I was transported to another dimension.

When he started singing “Hikikomori” then went into “I Remember” I think it was then I realized he was doing this tour for us -- for the fans and the BABYz who have been here the whole time (or at least a very long time). As I’m writing this now and reflecting, everything he said during his ments/talks was him just continuously thanking us, telling us how much he loves us, and saying how it’s been “such a long time”. I literally could choke up thinking about it right now how he’s waited just as long as we have.

Yongguk asked the audience to put their phones down so he could make eye contact with every person. And like someone said, “when Bang Yongguk tells you to do something, you do it no questions asked.” Then he started singing “Screwed Up” while literally looking at every corner of the venue, balcony, floor, sidestage -- literally my delulu mind was convinced he was staring and flirting with me too. I lost the “IDGAF if this man notices me” war right then and there. (I have yet to find a fancam of “Screwed Up”, which is fair because he told us to put our phones down, but if anyone has a video of him literally making flirty eyes to the entire audience, PLEASE send it to me.) 

Right after “Screwed Up”, he goes into “Green” and at the end said something similar to “I wrote Green so I could sing it with all of my fans one day, so thank you for singing along with me.” and I just about sobbed. 

By “Ride or Die” and “YA” he is fully body rolling everywhere on stage, flirting with every single person in the audience, and everyone is losing their minds (including me).

Also at some point during the show he started sending so many air kisses to everyone. He also would be (seemingly) speechless in between sets and just repeated “wow… woah…” and kept showing his gummy smile 😭 The cheers were so loud inside the venue sometimes my ears were ringing just from the crowd singing and screaming so I wonder if he was in awe or wasn’t expecting that? (Even though he deserves all the love!)

Then at some point the crowd started chanting “take it off” (meaning his shirt that was truly barely hanging onto him) and he gets SHY and kept asking “Why?” -- I just don’t understand how someone can go from biting his shirt, flirting with the entire audience, body rolling nonstop on stage, to a completely genuine “I’m so shy” cute smiley lil baby. He was so cute I could barely process him going from rapping his lungs out to “uwu vibes” in the matter of seconds and the only single thought my single braincell had was “so cute so cute so cute”. Yongguk is truly the duality of mankind. (He did eventually give one more ab flash [in addition to his “tattoo sticker” promo shirt lifting] so you can find that photo floating around on social media.)

He threw water (from bottles he drank out of) into the crowd twice during “OFF” and “YAMAKAZI” and I have never been happier to be blessed with holy water. I think “OFF” is my favorite hype song in recent years so I absolutely loved hearing that live -- despite it being toward the second half of the show, his energy never stopped and the crowd’s energy also kept getting more and more hyped.

Towards the end Yongguk said, “Although tonight is the last U.S. stop for the tour, it’s not a goodbye. I promise to come back… I’ve said this all tour, but as much as you all love me, please also love yourself.” Before starting “Orange Drive”, Yongguk dedicated the song to his fans and his grandfather in heaven. Then during the encore, alongside the usual “Xie Xie” and “See You Later” he also sang “Ride or Die” one more time and did a lot of fanservice. 

His marketing worked because all the merch was soldout after the show, but I was able to snag the "tattoo sticker" sheet just like he suggested :') -- I am lowkey glad I was unable to get a meet & greet ticket because I feel like I was already internally combusting at the thought of having to meet him and take a selfie after the concert, so if it actually happened I probably would've externally exploded.

ALSO -- This man’s stamina is no joke though because he really kept going for a full 1.5 hours and jumping around on stage with minimal “ments/talking” in between songs. If this hadn’t been the last stop on his tour, I would have definitely considered attending another stop. If I had known how amazing of a performer he was and how great the energy would be to hear everything live (from him and the crowd), I would’ve balled out and gone to the LA stop the day before.

>>FUTURE?<< Yongguk promised he would release another album in the future and go on tour once again. Though none of us know when that will be, I know I will wait with anticipation for this experience to happen again (and again if he and/or other B.A.P members decide to tour). The combined elements of a small venue, love from BABYz and Yongguk, and seeing someone I feel like grew up alongside me is something that I won’t ever have the right words to describe, but can only feel. Thank you for taking the time to read my reflections and ramblings~

every month of 2022

link your favourite or most popular post from each month this year (it’s totally fine to skip months) and tag some CCs you love!

january ↳ most popular | favourite january was bap month! I spent so much time on that 10th anniversary set but I had so much fun making it. it’s not perfect, but it’s probably one of my favourite creations I ever made!

february ↳ most popular | favourite #1 | favourite #2 february was my most prolific month. I get why that gifset got so many notes, but I’m so proud of what I created for dino and dokyeom’s birthdays. dino’s set is also my most popular gfx, I never got that many notes before

march ↳ most popular | favourite some wise words from bang yongguk that got spreaded even outside the kpop side of tumblr, it was so fun to read some of the tags under that post. as for the favourite post, I really like how that gfx turned out, but most of all I just love that photoshoot ahah

april ↳ most popular | favourite jinki comeback season! looking back at these posts makes me think that I should make more content for shinee, I remember being so happy while making these!

may ↳ most popular | favourite only made these two sets in may ahah

july ↳ most popular | favourite I really like all the gifs I made in july, I’m quite proud of the colouring, but I just love that drawing! unfortunately I don’t usually have much time to dedicate to drawing, I remember using all my free time to finish it and worked on it until late at night but I think it was worth it

august ↳ the only thing I made not really proud of this one but it is what it is ahah (also shame on me for making content for seungcheol every month except on his birthday)

september ↳ most popular | favourite only made these two sets in september, the only reason why I opened photoshop was because of the news about coups’ tattoo, which inspired that gfx ahah

[thebvbbletea]

You guys have no idea how amazing this year for 2nd & 3rd gen K-Pop stan like me. KARA having their 2nd comeback after hiatus, they even include Hara's voice in one of their song. 2NE1 confirmed to have their comeback & concert, Blackpink comeback for their anniversary, Lovelyz & EXID reuniting for a performance and today we also witnessing the comeback of B.A.P

Ofc I still pissed off with how TS treat B.A.P, and to see Youngjae crying and apologizing to us that they can't use B.A.P's name for their comeback is truly make me sad. They deserve the whole happiness in this world and TS could go f*ck themselves 😔

[wongyuseok]

Hi Bex 💖💐💕☀️ SF9 for the ask game or, if they've already been asked for, B.A.P 🥰

hiii bestie 🫶🏻🫶🏻

this is funny to me bc do you even know who the members are? 🤭 ANYWAY I've been here technically since predebut when bang yongguk released I Remember with yoseob from Highlight/Beast. which was... almost 13 years ago 😂 and I've been SO excited to see them comeback. btw listen to Curtain Call. also, my favorite cover is bang&jung&yoo&moon singing anything by b.a.p. mostly bc I don't remember any covers from any of them 😅 but it just makes me very happy to see them performing their old stuff. now free zelo from the military and let them release more music altogether tysm 🫶🏻

send me a kpop group and I'll do this ⤵️

[bloomette]

So lately:

- work is so toxic mainly because of my colleagues. Everyday a drama and a fight in my team....its getting annoying

- many kids were sick with fever and I took care of my sick korean girl all monday and tuesday (she only accept me anyway) so....guess who is sick today 😐🥲 but yeah....it's been a while

- fully into my Ikon and Block B era, I feel like I tried "too hard" to keep on with the new gen amd trend but it really doesn't bring me joy or anything, i still enjoy their music but cant stan them. The only exception is Ateez of course, but the new of the comeback, teaser photos, all preorder POB releases.....it got me overwhelmed. Otherwise i'm extremely excited for Epik High's release AND new lightstick, it gonna be so COOL.

I'm still talking to some friends (kpop fans) and most of them are the portuguese's fans i've met at yongguk's concerts. All the others atiny and good friend i've met and helped (!!!) for their tickets, gave some presents etc, just ignored me since 6 months. 😒 Next time i'll mind my own business and be a loner (the best way) because it's easier.

- my next concert is in 30 days !! 2 months without any concerts feel strange in that 2023 year filled with concerts 😳 but yeah Babymetal gonna be so fun, I can already feel it !!

- I might have been in a mental "down" so I bought so many stuff on Mercari 😂 no so proud but well....my big bang lightstick (finally, after all thoses years being a vip), the block b lightstick (i dont understand why everyone hate it....), an Ikon signed album (they were still 7 ;_;), a yongguk pc set, and the most important: an eye mask (with Donghyuk eyes 🤣). I think that's gonna be enough to give me serotonin until december.

- also i'm currently watching Semantic Error and yeah, you can say I might have a new hyperfixation. My first BL and it's really cute/refreshing/light and let's not talk about the actors (Park seo ham you have my heart)

I was like "AWWW Park JaeChan must be so smoooool because the difference is so cute" and when I checked yesterday I saw that he was 177cm and Seo ham was.....193cm 💀💀 so on the left picture i would literally look even shorter (172cm) than jaechan next to seoham 💀

That was the update of my life 🫶🏻
