B.A.P, Officially Working On Their Album —- “Set January as their goal”

B.A.P, who have currently just wrapped up their first Japanese tour, have started official work on their Korean album.

On the 10th, representatives from TS Entertainment revealed to STARNEWS, "After wrapping up Japanese performances on the 6th, they plan to work on their new Korean album."

The representative continued on by adding, "B.A.P has been simultaneously working on their new Korean songs while promoting in Japan. They’ve currently reached the halfway point for their new Korean album, and are currently recording as they have set next January as their goal for release."

YAY but seriously now, are they ever going to take a break? I hope this comeback will be better than the previous, I need another album like One Shot because that was pure perfection

So excited because I've missed them so much!! Why a January comeback though? I wouldn't mind waiting a month or two more.

This would be a HUGE misstep by TS imo.

I mean they are already rumors of TVXQ, SNSD, and B1A4 coming back in January.... If TS had timed B.A.P's past comebacks better they would have already won on a music show multiple times by now, but they just keep failing at the timing :/

I think it's also because they've been releasing songs that are bad, man.

Their singles have gotten less and less great since "Power" with the exception of "Coffee Shop" as a change of pace and other songs that get buried in their albums. =(
I actually think they should wait a little longer. They are at a point where they can afford to take their time.

TVXQ and SNSD at the same time? That's a crack pot move by SM if true

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

the dbsk 10th anniversary album is all but confirmed at this point - so that would be late December / early January

there are some pretty strong rumors that SNSD filmed their comeback MV this weekend for a late January / early Feb comeback (since they have schedules up until mid January)

but tbh either way, they're dominating the month

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

I was fearing overlapping promotions which would be bad business in my mind for SM but that makes more sense

That basically would just lead to awards on every show for a whole month

[pimpmysneaks.livejournal.com]

You probably care more about them winning than TS and B.A.P. combined

Lawd Jessus give it a rest

Your posts make my head hurt

[noodlebringer.livejournal.com]

urgh so true. and if they rush their comeback, we'll end up with badman 2.0 (no just no...) and they're being pushed out by the other 2012 rookies who are starting to get more recognition. they should take their time and come back when there's not so many powerhouse artists having their comebacks.
and they should relax and take their time on a new album

[torontok.livejournal.com]

As much as I'd love a B.A.P comeback, jesus T.S let them get at least a two month rest period. they had, what fou comeback last year? and then japanese promotions? att his rate, one of them is eventually (god forbid) get seriously sick or injured.

[krystal-32206.livejournal.com]

Mte. Or collapse due to over fatigue. I don't want them to be the next jaejoong or yoochun during dbsk5 days.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

the worst thing is even if they do collapse, they still probably wont get proper rest. idol companies notrious for sticking an IV in their arttists and pushing them back on stage.
Maybe its because we're the same age but I worry most about Zelo.Having this kind of lifestyle in your teenage eyars will fuck up his body for a long time. he might not feel it rn but it'll comeback to him.

[krystal-32206.livejournal.com]

I'm happy that they're coming back with a Korean album but next month is a bit fast tbh. Bbs need their rest. Everyone's getting thinner and tired-looking lately.

[camified.livejournal.com]

wow..i feel like they've been gone for so long.

january seems like wishful thinking though so maybe early feb?

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

As much as I love the boys it's a bad move imo
Their past comebacks have been pretty bad they should let people forget, let the boys rest (mandatory comment) and maybe have BYG released something solo (to get he fans excited and curious) and then comeback

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

oh, i thought they've been gone for a while now and bound for a comeback. did they have a japan tour or something recently?

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

Yeah they've been promoting in Japan & they just finished their Japan tour

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

Ah thanks! I hope they get enough rest before the comeback (they'll probably get it during the chinese new year though).

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

Omg no not January please there are a lot of comebacks already :c

[hellociara.livejournal.com]

as excited as i am about this, i really wish that B.A.P would be able to take a break. at least a month or two.

so proud of them though. they have been working hard and i believe it's been paying off!

[pimpmysneaks.livejournal.com]

I haven't been paying much attention to their Japanese promotions so I really miss them

Excited

[sometimeforever.livejournal.com]

Half of me is excited for new music, but the other half of me just wants to like send them all to a spa to relax for a month lol. They're so ridiculously hardworking.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___varying/]

Yeah bad timing; not to mention there's the concert DVD too and fandom youngsters will be broke.
That being said, I'm hoping for a good release to erase Badman from my mind, so. Lol. And January is just a 'goal' so they can always push it back.

[yumett.livejournal.com]

kinda saw this coming. and i actually do miss them, a bit, yes. so in a way i'm happy.
but meh idk i've been so let down and underwhelmed by their badman album (like really really) that if it's for having a smiliar thing i'd rather wait a bit more, why do they give me the feeling that they always rush everything they do. but well it ain't me who's going to stop them so the only thing i can hope is that we don't get another meh~ album like badman (sorry if you liked it, but it's my least fav cd of them by far (considering i decided to ignore the exitence of Hajima)). i want another power or no mercy or goodbye-like song ! or something different and original idk. we'll see. (well at least i'm curious now).

[scheisse.livejournal.com]

I guess I agree with them taking a break. :(

But I'm still excited nonetheless.

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

If Bad Man told me anything it's that they NEED to refuel/recharge b/c that shit was a hot ass mess. Love these boys but damn TS, fall back.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I hope it's another One Shot too. Probably my favorite comeback from them.
They look gorgeous in that pic btw.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

hft

I need a full album from them. I always forget how much I like them until they pop up on my playlist. I like Hurrican and Coffee Shop, but definitely jam to their previous releases more.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

yessss soo need this.
I did give their JPN songs a go, so congrats that it's over for a while.

[921227.livejournal.com]

Himchan looks /great/ in taht pic...

But I'm on the fence about a comeback - on one hand, it's great because more BAP, on the other hand it's bad because of the amount of comebacks already scheduled for that time and the fact that their last mini was a little disappointing. If they comeback /please/ let it be simpler and not so high concept, I think that's what ruined Badman for them tbh

[cinnamin911.livejournal.com]

Honest to God, I love them and I love their music (even Badman grew on me... eventually) but I don't want to see their beautiful mugs for a solid month or two. I mean like, fall off the grid, migrate south for the winter and just RECHARGE. I just don't think they will be able to come up with quality music without a breather to collect and take perspective or whatever something it is that musicians need.
Not only that but it's seriously hurting my Baby soul to see them look tired :(
A break, TS! POR FAVOR!

[antrea.livejournal.com]

can they not... they've literally been going back and forth from Korea to Japan for the past few months and I don't know how exactly their comeback album is already at the halfway point unless it was very halfassed...
if LOE ruined the quality in Badman mini than Warrior Begins JP is going to ruin the quality of this new album. They need rest and singles with enough oomph like Warrior and Power (tho One Shot remains my fave but the rest of Korea did not seem to think the same)
And I'm stealing this from what someone else said on twitter but I won't accept a comeback unless it's a full album this time... and for a full album, I'd rather wait for it and not have it rushed :(
