It has been revealed that B.A.P has trashed all 50,000 copies of their 1st mini-album ‘No Mercy‘ and will be delaying its release to a later date. B.A.P was scheduled to release the MV of “No Mercy” and the album both on and offline on July 19th. However, the group has decided to discard all 50,000 copies of album due to problems with the finished product.

According to TS Entertainment, “We were initially planning on releasing the physical album on July 19th, but the color print on the finished product was a bit off from what we expected. Therefore, we have decided to discard all albums to present fans with the best as we have promised.”

The release of “No Mercy” immediately reflected on MelOn‘s real-time music chart, placing high upon its release. With a complete 180-degree concept, the boys returned with exciting hip-hop rythms and rock riffs. The song starts off with leader Bang Yong Gook and maknae Zelo‘s dialect rap, followed by samulnori sounds (traditional Korean percussion music).

The MV of “No Mercy”, in particular, is gaining much interest as the director of the MV turned out to be none other than Hong Won Ki of Johnny Bros, who’s famously known for directing music videos for Girls Generation, Seo Taeji, B2ST, Super Junior, and more.

B.A.P will be making their comeback on the July 19th episode of Mnet‘s ‘M!Countdown‘, followed by KBS‘s ‘Music Bank‘ on the 20th, MBC‘s ‘Music Core‘ on the 21st, and SBS‘s ‘Inkigayo‘ on the 22nd. In addition, the boys’ showcase that was held in Malaysia will be aired on Mnet’s ‘Wide Entertainment News‘ on July 19th at 5PM (KST).

TS have you learned nothing from YG???
Pretend it's vintage or a limited edition, duh!!!

I agree. I would have said it's a special edition cover.

Also, no wonder 2 of the rooms they were dancing reminded me of the recycled SM video box rooms. The one that is a reddish color is like the same room from Sexy, Free, and Single that had sort of a blue/green tint in SuJu's video. That other whitish room looks familiar too.

that's too bad. they could have just release the albums and make another version (more money!) instead of wasting 50.000 CDs. Maybe they revealed this to inform the people who had already ordered and paid for the albums?

but wait... DOES THAT MEAN THE CDS THAT BAP HAD AUTOGRAPHED ARE ALSO THROWN AWAY???

That's an awfully expensive mistake for a rookie group. Unless it's printed in stripey lines like my printer does when it's running out of ink, why not just go along with it. It's the music that counts. SMH

The amount of trees wasted!?!?! T_T Why aren't there any Kpop groups doing a Michael Jackson, passionately campaigning on healing the earth? Eco Drive is Eco drive, but doing a concept on saving the earth is a whole other thing. Ok. I'm nuts. Bye.

lol but yeah you're right, doing a concept based on respecting the environment, ect. would be pretty far out there for a group/arstist.

Shouldn't they look at a sample of the cd before they produce so many copies? :s

totally this. but sometimes it´s a mistake made by the printing office, so you do know something is wrong when you finally receive your order. My dad working in that area, so we had problems like that. It happens sometimes.

When they are at it they should completely change the design of the cover because it looks tacky as hell.

Tbh I wonder if "the printing company fucked up our order and we told them we didn't pay for this shit, so they tossed it and redid our order" translated into

"TS and B.A.P are ocd in their need to provide fans with perfection and tossed away 50,000 albums to make sure they only got the best".

>_>

With a complete 180 360-degree concept
that's better.

Everyone's saying that there's no way B.A.P could sell 50,000 copies, but tbh, when I read the article, I thought "they only printed 50,000?" I don't follow them and I know virtually nothing about CD distribution, but is it that outlandish of an idea they they'd be able to sell that much (in and out of Korea collectively)??
