some interesting tidbits from Bipo’s Cosmo interview, emphasis mine:
He [CNU] added that he wanted the main vocalist to change for each song and that Gongchan sang more and participated more in the album than he had previously. Gongchan said, “This is an album made by all of us together, not just one person, so I was very happy while working on it.”
The members then candidly spoke about their close relationship with each other. CNU started off by saying, “I swear, I think of the members as my family. They’re the only people I can completely open myself to. I can even reveal the most embarrassing things to them. I see them more often than I see my own family, so I rely on them a lot.” Gongchan shared, “We’re closer to each other than family, so we can no longer stay apart.” Sandeul added, “That’s why I’ve been worried these days. People around me tell me I need to keep a certain distance with people I work with, but we have no such distance between us.”
Sandeul, who is actively engaged with his solo activities as DJ and solo album releases, said, “No matter what activities I do, I always introduce myself as B1A4’s Sandeul. I want to be remembered as Sandeul of B1A4, not just as Sandeul.”
Finally, CNU explained B1A4’s goals as a group. He said, “I want the group to stay together for a long time,” ... At the same time, I want to do a good job of building the name B1A4. That name holds memories for some people and contains our lives, so I want to develop that name and cherish it.”
It’s just nice hearing them talk about them equally participating and singing in this album, something I know a lot of us always wanted, especially with Gongchan. And hearing them confirm just how close they truly feel with one another now, it goes to show how in the long run, what happened just strengthened their friendships. Moving forward, it’s apparent they want to continue to provide a positive image as three, so I think that’s important for us to respect.
