Happy 1 Year Anniversary, B.A.P!
Best. Absolute. Perfect.
(I know this is two days late, but I wanted it to be perfect. Better late than never right? And just to tell you, it will be long. >~<)
Happy 1 year with BAP! I don't know how to start at all because even though it's only been 365 days with them, I could write ten times as much about what they have done, not just for themselves, but for us BABYs everyday. Where can I start? I can tell I'll miss out so many things I would have wanted to mention, after this is posted. Our fanbase isn't perfect, but we're getting there ^^ Whenever I hear them shouting the fanchant, I try to join in (screw you laptop screen ;__;) because it actually makes you feel welcome as part of a family with the sea of Spring Green Matoki lightsticks being waved while they perform. Not only that, but I always hear the fans cheer for them as loud as they can when they're on stage - even when they're just introducing themselves as B.A.P - they decide to join in, which makes me proud to be a BABY. And even though we may have made mistakes through the year, it wasn't intentional. We didn't want to do it to bring B.A.P to a disadvantage at all. I hope that from this day on, B.A.P gains millions and millions more fans into our fanbase and we'll welcome them with open arms.
Get ready for some soppy and cheesy messages guys xD
So we start off with our beautiful leader, Bang Yongguk.
Some of you may have known him for 4 years - in his history of being the awesome maknae of Soul Connection, Jepp Blackman! Some of you may have known him to be Song Jieun's crazy (yet y LOL) stalker in her song, 'Going Crazy', or even during his own debut song in TS, 'I Remember' with his Yang Yoseob 'Sunbaenim'. Really Yongguk? Does Yoseob look like a Sunbae to you? He's like, mentally and physically 6. xD He then debuted as a duo with Zelo for 'Never Give Up!' promotions as Bang&Zelo where they also went to Malaysia to open a fan meeting event, which was one of the most awesome promotions before B.A.P even started >v< It's the fact that you learn about Zelo and Himchan and what they're like with their 'to-be leader' back then. I could tell straight from that, that Yongguk takes care of Zelo (and Jongup) as if they were his own sons. The way he looks at them and the way he treats them just makes me see him as a fatherly-figure. I know that Yongguk is an amazing leader because he doesn't act easy going at all times, but then again he doesn't act strict 24/7 for the members to misunderstand his intentions and the points he wants to get across. And although he may be awkward with the camera and even members at times, I know that he works incredibly hard just for what he wants and what s want so there's room for improvement for him in variety and entertainment. The member who introduced himself as a Pacifist but ironically, is in love with War movies xD But seriously, his beliefs in morals and politics just makes me even more interested in him. His Instagram is filled with inspiring Art and Philosophy. And he may be charismatic and badass on stage but you can see that he's completely adorable because of his gummy smiles and childish yet cute behaviour behind the concept he shows on stage. He's lead an amazing group that is unique to the Kpop industry and I'll know he'll carry on doing so for the thousands of years we'll be together. ♥
Yongguk has also been famous for his infamous B.A.P potential greeting (click!) when they first landed on Earth and appeared on TV for the first time. And on the same show, he created his own version of the word, 'Seduction' when playing the charades game.
Yongguk, why? XD

Boorawrrrr~~~~! Scary leader! >o<
No he's not. He's actually adorable in real life. ♥

"Ya! Neo! Kim! Him! Chan!" was the first words that popped into my head thinking about him. Kim Himchan, the most beautiful yet most craziest and derpy-est person I've become attached to. And although people think that Himchan may be too honest and too sensitive, I don't see him like that at all. He may be a sensitive umma to the group, but I find that down-to-earth and quite sweet if you ask me. He has realistic and deep, bold feelings even on camera that he really wants to show for others, instead of hiding it away in case they disappoint the broadcasters or ruin their image, especially since they were still rookies. His sensitivity and motherly personality only makes me love him more. I remember during the Warrior promotions that I got him and Jongup mixed up all the time because they were all blonde back then. Now thinking back at it, I wonder how I could get him so confused because he's so much different from puppy Jonguppie. xD Even though B.A.P say that don't do skinship, it's obvious Himchan likes loves it. The fact that he's also so crazy and cheesy out of all members just makes me go asdfghjkl;' >______< I remember at first when he was on Younha's radio show that they kept picking on him and he must have felt a bit cross at times to deal with that. I know because I deal with it sometimes too. My younger dongsaengs enjoy teasing me and I get why Himchan would feel what he feels. But it's okay, because they say that when someone bullies you, it means that they like you muahaha >:) I just hope that Himchan doesn't get too stressed with their schedules because he honestly means well. He's not perfect but he's enough to be called unique and original. ♥
Himchan just has this face where I melt completely. Just from smiling, to doing aegyo, even just looking charismatic with a wink asdhjfkdsfgklsdh hubba bubbA. XD
Not to mention his, 'Himchan no!' moments :3
Himcha-
Himchan...
Himchan st-
Stop it Himchan you-
STOP DOING THIS TO US.
>_<
Awh, okay I'm sorry! C: ♥

Busan's Wonbin - Jung Daehyun. Who knew the boy behind that mask was insanely chatty and would eat anything that gets in his way? Cute~ C: The mask had already made him adorable enough at the beginning of their debut, so when he takes it off it's just that moment where you die because he's just 10 times more perfect than he was before! >__< It's incredibly smart how in Ta Dah he actually found things to do while being restricted with a mask, ninja Daehyunnnnn~! :D The most talented quality I thought about Daehyun was his voice. I could see that he was struggling at first with the high/powerful notes, and there's nothing wrong with that. But time passed, he practiced more with Youngjae and during No Mercy, he belted out those notes 100% perfect like the audio version in the album would be, which just blew me away. Not even a year into promoting as a group and already vocals are improving - not to mention the countless comebacks happening. I love how his accent is actually of a Busan dialect but he sounds more like he came from Seoul *________* He must have practiced a lot to adapt to that xD Since there's no trace of Satoori in his voice at all~! I remember seeing him in his pre-debut days training in Nataraja Academy and in TS before debuting - oh gosh, he's so lovable, even back then - I think the only thing that's changed about him is the hair hehe~ ^^And even though he was the last to join, he managed to fit himself in so well with B.A.P and there's no way that the time period of how long he was trained for affects him as a member at all. In fact, I think one of the best qualities Daehyun ever has is that he was only trained for 6 months yet he can do everything polished and performed on stage perfectly in a matter of time. And even though he had only met the rest of the members 6 months before their debut, he seemed to get on with them so well. (It just shows the power of B.A.P being a family, as well as people who work together ^^) I'm stunned. Jung Daehyun can do the impossible. Except if you ask him to ride on a rollercoaster with you keke. :P Jung Daehyun you've stolen us with your vocal skills and just at the fact you can be crazy and hyper but still loveable as the next guy.

Getting to that barrier where it's dangerous now... D:

;__________; The laptop screen is blocking me from glomping you Daehyun.
That smile just kills everytime! >___<
Hi Daehyunnie. Yeah I know you're tired. So, rest well and take care with that perfect voice of yours. ♥

Our beautiful and adorable ball of fluff that I wish to squish, Yoo Youngjae. I remember at the beginning of the year, I got so worried because he seemed so underrated and he wasn't paid attention to as much as the other members, but I think as the year progressed, he managed to show his potentials and show us how he can be just as awesome as the other members, respectively ^^ The member who has the most adorable worries over his belly fat (which I thought was insanely cute to be quite honest! O3O) But now he's gained muscles from all that practice! And for some reason, his face looks smaller. It worries me but at the same time I keep telling myself not to worry because he probably wanted this. I remember at the beginning he would always be caring about his cheek fat and how his hair would look on camera (even though we all know it looked perfect).
Youngjae stop. You look gorgeous. C:

That puffy blowfish habit you have. ♥

He's just that member that you want to put in your pocket and carry him around because of how incredibly endearing he is. And his laugh! Omg, I managed to adapt his laugh for quite some time because it's just so addictive. And the way he holds the microphone and switches it from one hand to another is just so special.
Youngjae treats the microphone as if it's a person, instead of an object. ♥

Youngjae may not be able to reach all high notes that Daehyun can do, but that certainly doesn't limit or lessen the originality Youngjae's voice holds. The way he sings so harmoniously and soothingly that makes me melt, the way he dances, the way he dresses - everything about him is just perfect. Even though there's a hard-working and well respected Youngjae on stage performing, there's still a lovable and childish Yoo Youngjae behind all that who loves to just talk, have fun and act like a normal, happy person would instead of an idol who's going to conquer the world globally. I'll never wonder why you are in B.A.P when there were other chances you could have taken. I'm glad you chose B.A.P. They wouldn't be the same without you. You deserve what you've got because you've worked so hard . We will love Youngjae as much as he loves technology, singing and Musiq Soulchild. ♥
Our precious and constantly lost-looking puppy, who idolises Chris Brown, Moon Jongup. There's not enough words to describe how much I love this guy. People underestimate him because he's so quiet and they see him as just a dancer. But I believe there's much more to him than meets the eye. He's so awkward and shy during interviews and variety shows but at the same time it makes him so lovable. He's so confident whenever he performs on stage because he looks so charismatic and captivating I just can't!- *___* To many, he looks like he's just the dancer, but I believe that he can rap perfectly from their Warrior's Descendant performance, which makes me replay it constantly.

And I've always believed that he could sing - ever since he sung in their song, "It's All Lies". I always thought that there was some sort of vocal there that was undiscovered. And as soon as The Sounds of Rain came out, I almost fell off my chair realising that Jongup was actually singing. I was spazzing so much because Jongup always wanted something like this and to finally get a part to sing when you don't usually do feels really special ^^; I also love how he's completely 4-D in everything he does. How he occasionally goes into '.jpg' instead of '.gif' every once in a while~
Oh this awkward yet adorable puppy <3

That adorable smile somehow still fits with that amazing body.

And how he makes the most silliest yet fangirl-worthy facial expressions and the silly yet somehow really cool random dances he does and just seeing how Jongup is just usually in his own world.

I'll never forget that he said, "We're family, so what's yours is also mine." to B.A.P asdfghjkl;'#sf Jonguppie why are you so adorable? T__T Even though at times it may seem to people that Jongup is just an 'addition' to the group, I feel that he gives them a spark. Where else could you get a hip-hop dancing, rapping, singing and completely idiotic guy over gaining muscles yet taking off that image backstage and being as lovely and as sweet as possible off camera, like Moon Jongup?

The giant baby maknae who can do just about anything, Choi Junhong. For some reason, I'm really glad that I'm younger than him. Maybe it's the fact that I'm scared of being a noona but there's still pride at the fact he and I would practically be friends in Korea, being only 8 months younger than him. The shy and quiet member who is still getting used to us BABYs yet he raps at an unmerciful speed and dances to the extent where he can honestly pass out on stage and in their practice room. I remember saying to my friends that Zelo wouldn't understand how much stress school would bring because he wouldn't attend often - but I was wrong and I realise that even the most little attendances in school only adds more stress to his schedules and just his personal life. I remember during an interview, that he's scared of people and that some people may end up betraying him. And the anniversary video, he said although there were difficult times, with a lot of hesitation (especially that cute little 'O_O' he did afterwards ^^). That slices me completely. Junhong is really just like us. He's still a teenage boy, growing up with life and the fear of being betrayed is actually a scary feeling. It makes me want to look out for the maknae more because he seems so vulnerable and innocent. Anyway, apart from that, there's not enough words to describe how I completely fell for this guy at the first sight of his rapping, dancing and mostly his adorable ramen hair. Oh gosh I can't- >v< Gotta keep calm... xD And as he develops in every single concept, I know he's only going to get much better. He may be a maknae, but he has so much potential with colour and a unique taste to his style that it can blow people away.
Badass and charismatic Zelo:

So to conclude, I can guarantee that I'll be supporting and walking with B.A.P forever. Even writing this just brings me to tears because I'm so happy. I'm happy with every individual member for how talented and sweet and hard-working they are which shows how much they want to live this dream. I love the fanbase because through this one year I've met beautiful BABYs and knowing that they've worked so hard; waking up day after day without enough rest, practicing endless hours just for what they love to do and that they want to do it for us, giving us their energetic and sincere smiles and laughs, working their hardest even though I can see that they're dying for sleep and rest on the inside makes me feel motivated to try my hardest too. And I know in this post, I have much more to say that I already have done. If I were to write everything about B.A.P, all the reasons why I love them and why I still stick with them now, it would be endless. And just knowing now that they're only starting and there's so much things ahead of them, I know I'll be sticking with them, cheering for them from half way across the world. And I know it's going to be difficult for the members in the future when they have to learn how to handle stress and things interfering their environment, but I feel that they can get through it. They're been through hectic on-going schedules without even a proper month of rest for an entire year, even though it was their rookie year.
Not only to B.A.P would I like to thank, but their back-up dancers, co-ordis, producers, managers (Spiderman Manager Kang!♥) and everyone who has helped B.A.P get to where they are now. Just for this one, the back-up dancers because we see them all the time, without even realising it. They always help B.A.P and even they are counted as family by them. (Remember the time a back-up dancer of theirs playfully punched Daehyun and Daehyun alerted him that there was someone filming them and he felt immediate regret because he thought we would misunderstand aigoo~ ^^) I'm thankful to them for putting up with all the dancing and practicing the last year without a complaint. And it's just nice to see them getting along really well together and just seeing them as often. We haven't forgotten about you back-up dancers. Thank you ^-^!
I hope that we can continue to live together as a fanbase and a family for thousands of years with only happy tears, smiles and laughs. If you managed to get this far, well done! I'm impressed, you got through all that soppy and cheesy messages about the members xD Let's live for thousands of years together. B.A.P, hwaiting! BABY, hwaiting! ^___^ ♥♥
Bang Yongguk ♥
Kim Himchan ♥
Jung Daehyun ♥
Yoo Youngjae ♥
Moon Jongup ♥
Choi Junhong ♥

"Loving a band with all your heart is something you only understand when it happens to you. On the surface, others can see it as a petty obsession, but they’ll just never know the feeling of putting so much faith into a few people on the other side of the world. It’s hard to explain it to them, the listening to song after song on repeat, the waits for new albums, the excitement and surreal sensation when you finally see them live. They don’t seem to understand why the lyrics booklets give you a sense of comfort, or why you paste photos of them all over your bedroom walls. And they can’t understand why one band could matter to you so much. And you think to yourself ‘Because they saved my life.’ But you say nothing, they wouldn’t understand."
