THROWBACK THURSDAY (EP 22) - B.A.P. - WARRIOR - ONE SHOT - WAKE ME UP (REACTION)

[@kikikim4589]

B.a.p will forever be my Roman empire, I can't express how heart broken I am everytime I think about them and secret ( girl group from the same company highly recommend them ) such wasted potential my god I hope we'll see them in future again

[@cyanpalette]

I feel you 🥲

Bands may come and go, but b.a.p will remain in our hearts forever. 🥹🤧

I love seeing people still discovering BAP. They were the group that got me into Kpop and I will always be a BABY because of it. They deserved better and I'm still hoping to see a group comeback one day.

[@sorazenvt]

hello! B.A.P are coming back as a group with a documentary under MA Entertainment

[@aiRbckwrds]

@@sorazenvt I saw that the other day! I was feeling all the emotions.

[@doorknobofakender]

B.A.P debut around the same time as EXO and VIXX and BTOB and won the Rookie of the year award at the time. A lot of their music was about social issues - so there's a number of pieces talking about injustice and mental health. One Shot is about how quick gains do not have good endings and actually does have three songs - the opening and the middle part are two different songs, a thing that they did a lot for their longer videos. They do have some fast and goofy pieces like Feel So Good and That's My Jam. The group itself was horribly mistreated by their company - the members were not paid, they had hardly any resources, often if they were sick they still had to perform, the youngest member wasn't allowed to visit his family and so on. It came to a point that they sued their company which went on for around a couple years. When their contract came up, they did not renew them and the group disbanded. After which the company they were under was brought up for charges by the government and dissolved so it doesn't exist any more. Several members except one have solo careers (that one is serving jail time). The bunny-looking creature is their mascot called Matoki. In the group lore, they are actually bunny-like aliens matoki that came to earth to enjoy music and share their love for it. Each member has their own color and style.

[@aRedBaroness]

Unfortunately B.A.P. despite massive popularity were totally screwed over by their label. So they are not currently active as a group. But some members like Bang Yongguk, Zelo and Moon Jongup have solo careers. Yongguk's Up and Ride or Die are some of my fav tracks for former B.A.P. members solo tracks

[@bapyongukgukguk2352]

BAP got k*lled by their own label and then buried by media and kpop listeners that wanted to completely erase their existence.

[@yjayo3372]

B.A.P brings me to Kpop World ❤ #foreverwithbap

[@bapbusanwonbin3959]

Thanks for reaction to B.A.P!!! B.A.P have many songs (Title & B-sides), from dark, powerful to lighter, brighter one. They are super versatile. You just coincidentally picked 3 of the 'darker' / 'powerful' one...

[@mercurycures8204]

I was so hype to see this OMG! I just went to watch your TVXQ killing voice reaction and then saw this and had to watch. B.A.P was theeeeee group they won rookie of the year in 2012 (the same year EXO, BTOB, VIXX, etc. *they were (are) all friends too*). Such wasted talent but the deep voice rapper Bang Yongguk is having a 3rd EP coming out soon, he was the 3rd concert I went to and it was amazing. All their solo music is awesome and if you wanna continue with them I’d love it!! That at least 5 of the members still follow, comment and meet up together! They even did a challenge (of member Jongups solo song) with 4 members and the 5th (who’s in the military and about to discharge) commented on it! So I’m hoping for a reunion or maybe even comeback song plssssss.

[@joannafisher3391]

B.A.P were that group they were the group to beat . And would still be going strong if the horrible company that was TS had treated them so much better. You just seen a couple of the darker tracks but they have a good mix of lighter ones to . I’d recommend Honeymoon , What’s my Jam , Feel so good , coffee shop and with you . Plus my favourite B.A.P track Angle 1004 . They never had a bad song and the vocals were the best

[@BestFriendsReact]

Thank you for the suggestions!

[@maliii266]

I don't think I've ever seen a single BABY whose favorite title track wasn't 1004 (me included) 😂

[@선재마려]

They were the only artists who criticized society in Korea

[@ray382vk]

yeah they started the "Trend". Back then no one actually criticize the society by their own made tracks in kpop.

[@Mogi-mw6ld]

Thanks for reacting to BAP! You guys should definitely check out 'Angel 1004' and 'No Mercy' for the vocals.

BAP is having a comeback this month! hope you can check that out. they will be promoting under the name BANG&JUNG&YOO&MOON as they're missing a member (the youngest: zelo) in the military and they don't have the copyright to the name BAP currently (it still belonged to their old agency but just expired a couple days ago, so hopefully they can file for it themselves soon)! also, it's true that a lot of their songs are dark, but they have a lot of brighter ones as well and they do it all in a very "bap" fashion! thank you for the reaction; it's always fun to see people discover bap.

[@cindyluu8523]

Love how the other member isn't HIM but granted.. I hope my son Zelo comes back with them soon ❤

[@CyCy5Fanilo.]

Thank you 😭😭 literally cried watching your reaction on my favorite k-pop band 🥰😍

[@wevusqa1]

Wake me up is a song about a lot of mental health problems.... its a really sad and deep song... B.a.p were that kind of group.... they spoke up about stuff others couldn't or didn't want to

[@wevusqa1]

BEST KPOP GROUP EVER .... (my personal opinion don't come at me).... haven't even started the video and yet I know I will cry seeing someone doing reactions to their songs makes me melancholic. I loved this group and I still do..... I still haven't found a group that would be as good as they were Yongguk (their leader) is having a comeback on 31st if you wanna check it out (the deep voice dude) I will not write an essey about them someone else will xD

[@BestFriendsReact]

I appreciate the fandom and support, I'll keep an eye out for his upcoming release. Thank you!

[@maliii266]

@@BestFriendsReact And I’m very excited for you to discover more! I personally love 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation K-pop and am of the opinion that 2nd gen definitely was the best era. Since around 2017/18 I haven’t been very interested in new groups and music with some exceptions here and there. So it’s always great to see people discovering and appreciating the world of “old” K-pop. I’m looking forward to more such videos! :)

[@Angelika5378]

Uhh yes mblaq and block b reactions would be amazing

[@andiniwirawan]

I HOPE YOU SEE THIS!!! I see you used to be a metalhead, I really recommend you to hear B.A.P songs like DYSTOPIA and BANG X2 Something about B.A.P lore is that in every comeback, there has to be someone who died. E.g. Zelo in Warrior, Himchan in 1004, Bang Yongguk in STOP IT, Youngjae in One Shot. Their songs were heavily criticised by Koreans at the time bcs it touches issues that are very taboo in korea and they are constantly dissing/roasting Korean Government, so their International audience is actually bigger in a way. Their leader was once named as top 5 most influential Humanitarian Youth Activist. Because of that their fandom was heavy on charity and donation for humanitarian causes, which is why I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Their scandal started when they filed a lawsuit against their agency bcs they weren't getting paid and they were banned by their own company to appear on tv which results in their popularity to flunk but they continue to create songs with social issues as their base. They officially disbanded in 2018 and in that same year one of their members were reported for SA, so by 2022 (their 10th anniv) it is official that the member was excluded on the decoration😅

[@yazzyraka5959]

I've been listening to kpop for a long time, it's not a known fact but BAP was actually seen as competitors to One Direction! They even used their image in their song "best song ever" !

[@yazzyraka5959]

is there any evidence to this? it kinda feels like fandom fiction. No offense if its not the case, but some fandoms like to make up "facts" and then spread them as true.. When its usually just a fan that thinks something but instead of saying "i think" they say things like "netizens agree" or "they are known as" lol

[@kl2894]

Honeymoon isn't really a brighter song. It has elements of hope for the future, but it's still quite depressing and dark in a lot of ways. It was basically them singing about B.A.P coming to an end. Feels So Good is a better example of a brighter song.
