omonatheydid{4} Youngjae “I felt that I’d be able to achieve something with Bang Yongguk”
~ HERE IS THE 3RD PART [THERE WAS A MISTAKE SO THIS ENTRY WAS POSTED BEFORE THE 3RD ONE]
[..] In raising his dream to become a singer in JYP, Youngjae left the company due to personal reasons after a year.
“I joined as a JYP trainee in my end of my first year in high school and spent a year since then just training. However, due to personal reasons, I left JYP and I think the mindset of wanting to do music became stronger. In putting behind me everyone’s disappointment, I made this decision.”
With having time to relax his body and heart for a while, a person he knew introduced him to his current company, TS Entertainment.
“There were a lot groups that were supposed to make a debut in TS Entertainment at the time. Of course, I knew Yongguk hyung was promoting at the time too and I auditioned during my time off, receiving a phone call from TS Entertainment soon afterwards. My mother was against me becoming a trainee for this company but as time passed by, she began to recommend me to take the offer in seeing the family-oriented atmosphere that drew her in (laughs).”
However, Youngjae signing with the company and becoming a member of B.A.P tied back down to leader Bang Yongguk’s unknown strength playing a big role of it all.
“When I came here, I saw Yongguk hyung practicing and he was so good. I think I worked harder with the thought of, “If I’m in a team with that hyung, I feel like I can achieve something.” I think all six members of B.A.P had a bigger desire to being recognized for the occupation of being a singer rather than gaining popularity for being a singer, so that’s why our friendship is even greater (laughs).”
However, as his trainee days swept by, he was chosen as B.A.P’s representing vocal and the pressure was higher than none other, he confessed. What put the pressure off of him was Daehyun who had joined later in the group.
“In my trainee days, I was in charge of high notes and I’m not the type to use my vocals in a strong manner and there were lots of pressure with people telling me, “As a main vocalist of an idol group, you have to execute your high notes well.” However, when Daehyun joined the group, all the pressure for high notes disappeared and with us two sharing parts, I was happy that I was able to follow through with the kind of vocals I wanted to do (laughs).”
And Youngjae slowly adjusted to the position of a dependable vocalist in B.A.P, preparing for the day he’d meet with his fans. Youngjae, who was able to lead a two hour interview without any rest, wrapped it all up with wise words.
“I don’t believe that the person I am standing here today is all because of what I did by myself, but through the love of the people around me and my fans, I’m able to be B.A.P’s Youngjae. I’ll become a singer that never loses his roots, so look out for me (laughs).” [end of the interview :(]

Date: 2012-05-24 07:06 pm (UTC)I think him and Daehyun have it the hardest in the group. To be able to hit those notes while doing all that intense choreo. They handle it really well though I have to say.
My favourite song on "Power" is "It's All Lies" which is pretty much their song.

I still want to know why he left JYPE, but obviously there are restrictions on that, so. Someday, maybe. xD

Date: 2012-05-25 02:26 am (UTC)I was curious about him leaving too. Taking first place and leaving after a year of training is no easy thing to do.

Date: 2012-05-25 03:48 am (UTC)I think everyone except Daehyun, and probably Yongguk, had a survival audition process. I only know Secret Diary was in 2011...no clue when exactly
Okay...I am way too into BAP LOL

Date: 2012-05-25 08:40 pm (UTC)And BYG says to anticipate a 5-member group at 2:30 or so.
Annnnd wiki says Daehyun joined last. OTOH, wiki isn't the most reliable/professional source for kpop subjects, at one point Himchan's entry claimed that he was aka "Derpchan", which I appreciated, but no, lulz. But I suppose this reliable enough. Maybe BYG just misspoke? I guess since it was Secret Diary the editors didn't know/care enough to correct it?

Date: 2012-05-25 01:44 am (UTC)The parts about Daehyun were my favorites. I'm glad he addressed him. Gosh, they're such a perfect pair. I remember from waaaay back when they were just debuting Youngjae was asked something like if he and Daehyun debated over who was better at singing and he was super classy about it and said they never did that to each other. He's never been bitter about his position as a lead and since the Power EP came out I think it's becoming a bit clearer as to why. TS is very fair with these two. They really disregard the titles and give the guys their lines based on who suits the part better, as it should be. TS treats these boys so well, I love it. And I love this vocal line. And they love each other, lbr. They think the sun shines out of each other's butts.
Youngjae stan tl;dr. Basically he is wonderful, and B.A.P is wonderful, and I love them.
