B.A.P’s Zelo complains about his ever-growing height?

B.A.P‘s  maknae, who is also the youngest male among all the idol groups,  Zelo has complaints about his tall height.

Born in October of 1996, 15-year-old Zelo revealed in a recent interview with one of Japan’s biggest newspapers that he “would like to stop growing” when he was asked about a “personal hope.”

Zelo’s profile says his height is 5’11.5″ (182 cm), but he’s been growing even more since his debut and is now 6 feet (183 cm) tall.

He shared, “The hospital told me my growth plates are still open.” Despite his complaint, he wrapped up the interview sarying, “Actually, I think I can be able to express more with a taller height so I’m excited.”

Currently, B.A.P is promoting their second single album, ‘Power‘. The group successfully finished fan signings, which began last weekend, in Seoul, Daegu, and Busan. On the coming 19th, they are planning to hold a fan sign event in Incheon.

Grab the Look: B.A.P – ‘Power’

Who’s ready for that new bad boy look? B.A.P‘s newest hit,‘Power‘, has arrived just in time bringing that “too tough to die” attitude and continuing their strong and aggressive image.

Military influence is tried and true in men’s clothing so there’s a lot of options out there. Find just the right jacket so it can become a wardrobe staple which will last for numerous seasons instead of a trendy spring piece that will go out of style after the season. Look for a lighter weight material with a great wash so the jacket will be soft and cool in warmer months, while still looking stylish when you layer during the colder seasons.

An edgy tank with lots of personality and texture makes the overall look trendy and new. Since there is already a military jacket on top, it’s better to mix with a different colored bottom to avoid looking overly matched and not as effortless. Bring in some of that hip hop flavor with a pair of denim harem pants, and finish the look with a few military staples such as a belt and combat boots.

You’ll surely feel the “Power” when you sport this fierce look, so try it out! Also, if you haven’t already, make sure to check out B.A.P‘s latest hit.

2. American Eagle Grommet Belt -$14.90

B.A.P.’s Bang Yong Guk discusses the differences between “Power” and “Warrior”

Having returned with a strong new comeback track titled “Power“, the boys of B.A.P. have been making their rounds on the first week of comeback stages.

After ‘Music Core‘, leader Bang Yong Guk sat down with reporters to share his thoughts on the group’s comeback.

Bang Yong Guk began, “It’s not something we’ve been preparing for a long time for, but we did work really hard to show improvement for our fans. This album is extremely meaningful for us in that way.”

He continued, “Compared to our debut track, ‘Warrior‘, our choreography has gotten a lot more fierce. We probably rehearsed longer for ‘Power’ than ‘Warrior’ since there were a lot of complex, detailed moves we had to pay attention to. And since the choreography gets violent at times, the members would bump into each other often. It hurt a lot, but it was really fun.”

Concluding the interview, he stated, “We’ve returned with a message more positive than ‘Warrior’ so we hope ‘Power’ receives a lot of love. I’m curious as to how our fans will receive the song. I’ll continue to promote with both fun and anticipation.”

B.A.P’s “Power” music video preview prepared as a surprise for fans

It turns out the preview of their title track, “Power“, was actually an unplanned event prepared by the charismatic boys of B.A.P as a surprise for their fans.

B.A.P released their music video preview for their title track earlier on April 23rd, following the teaser that was released on April 20th. The teaser depicted the interior of the spaceship, while the preview showed the exterior of the spaceship partially buried in the background. The boys already made a lasting first impression with the use of a robot weighing 200 kg and standing 4 m tall in their debut “Warrior” music video, but they’ve outdone themselves by following up with a spaceship boasting a weight of 700 kg and a height of 18 m, according to TS Entertainment, in their “Power” music video.

Emerging from the debris and exploded vehicles in the aftermath of the spaceship crash, the group made a spectacular entrance as powerful “space warriors” in the preview, with the help of their military inspired look and tattoos on their body. The background music is reported to be the intro part of “Power”, and already has fans anticipating the full song.

Furthermore, what was surprising about the latest preview was that it had originally not been part of the plan. During an outdoor shoot last Friday, the members of B.A.P expressed their wish to prepare a surprise for their fans, and thus the preview was decided on spontaneously. A thoughtful gesture by the group for their fans, Babies.

B.A.P will be making their comeback on April 27th with the full release of the song as well as the music video.

The two ’90 line hyungs are the oldest in the group and are seen dressed in a grungy style with tattoos all over their bodies. If you thought “Warrior” was fierce, “Power” aims to kick things up a notch with a charismatic spin that is already securing the boys a place in everybody’s heart.

Fans have been going wild over the boys’ hair transformations in particular, especially since they had been blonde for several months already. Himchan’s black short cut and Bang Yong Guk’s purple tint are enough to show anyone that the boys mean business with their new change.

Himchan in particular has also lost 5 kg to complete his transformation.

Stay tuned for their album release on April 27th!
