Bang Yong-guk, Jung Dae-hyun, Yoo Young-jae, and Moon Jong-up from the group B.A.P. were moved to tears.

Bang Yong-guk, Jung Dae-hyun, Yoo Young-jae, and Moon Jong-up held their first EP 'Curtain Call' showcase at Ilji Art Hall in Gangnam, Seoul, on the 8th and expressed their feelings about getting together for the first time in a long time.

Shinbo 'Curtain Call' is the first album released by Bang Yong-guk & Jeong Dae-hyun, Yoo Young-jae & Moon Jong-up in about six and a half years since their eighth B.A.P. single 'EGO' in 2017. Bang Yong-guk said "I'm impressed ," and Moon Jong-up expressed his emotion "I feel good standing after a long time".

As for the recent situation, Moon Jong-up "I got together with my brothers and talked a lot about the comeback. We were preparing for our comeback today" he informed. Yoo Young-jae, who was discharged from the military in May, said, `I've been discharged and preparing hard.' Jung Dae-hyun, who had a three-year hiatus, said, `I got to participate in this project as I became a member of the same company as Jong-up.' Bang Yong-guk said, "We released a new album at the beginning of the year, successfully finished our tour of the Americas, and all the members gathered together to prepare for the new album."

It attracts attention because it has not decided on a new team name. Yoo Young-jae said "In our opinion, it would be nice to work under the original team name, but there were difficult parts in reality. We also thought about whether to name a new team, but our idea was to name a new team after working as a team name for a long time. Then, instead of Jeong Dae-hyun, he explained the reason why he gave the member's name, saying, `If I can't use that name, I think it would be better to visit the public under our name.'

He also explained in detail the timing and background of the gathering. Moon Jong-up "We've been talking about gathering among ourselves. When I saw Youngjae being discharged from the military, I thought it would be nice to gather around that time, so I talked a lot when Youngjae was on vacation. As soon as Youngjae came out, I wanted to come out as a team. There was a positive response together, and I talked well with MA Entertainment to come out. Of course, I thought I would do this one day, and the timing was important" he recalled.

He also mentioned that the youngest, Zello, is currently serving in the military. Moon Jong-up "I told the youngest about this, and I couldn't help it because I was physically involved in the military. `I'm cheering from afar,' Yoo Young-jae said. `Mindly, even Jello wants to do it so badly. I want to release an album with Zelo at a good time" he wished.

The four are expected to once again stimulate fan sentiment and demonstrate their own musical identity and presence through this album, which consists of various genres. "I think it's important to show us how we have grown in various ways during the long six-year hiatus," Bang said. Yoo Young-jae cried again and blurted out "It's all about us as a whole." Then, Jung Dae-hyun defended Yoo Young-jae, saying "It hasn't been long since Young-jae was discharged from the military."

The title song 'Gon' is a song that focuses on the singing ability of the members outside the framework of standardized idol music. The lyrics contain the feelings of remembering the fans and the complex emotions the members feel at this moment, and Bang Yong-guk participated in the work and added meaning.

Bang Yong-guk is a song with a warm band sound. It means a breakup, not an end. It's a song with beautiful lyrics. "There were a lot of songs when I was preparing for the album, and it was the most title song of all. It went well with the new comeback mood. I thought I would be happy to play it on stage," he said, introducing the song.

Regarding the performance point, Moon Jong-up "About 20 dancers will do it together. There are changes that the dancers express according to their individuality, and it is a fun composition to meet all together in the chorus.

Bang Yong-guk, Jung Dae-hyun, Yoo Young-jae, and Moon Jong-up will catch everyone's ears by telling their own stories through this album with addictive sounds and team identity. Attention is focused on the steps of Bang Yong-guk, Jung Dae-hyun, Yoo Young-jae, and Moon Jong-up, who will once again capture fans' hearts with a ripe atmosphere and performance.

The 13th anniversary of their debut recalled the beginning of their debut and pointed out the recent changes in idol culture. Jung Dae-heon said "There are so many things that have changed since the beginning of our debut. It seems like everything is just learning. Since we made a comeback, there are many singers, but there are some parts where our colors and our names are known. So I think I should show better performance. I'm also looking for a lot of challenges. It was hard. The youngest member, Jongup, has been active until recently and he's good at it, but the three of us haven't filmed properly yet, so I want to take this opportunity to shoot a fun challenge with many singers," he said with a smile.

Bang Yong-guk, who said he danced for the first time in six to seven years, said "I'm happy to dance after a long time because I heard that I have to follow the members hard if I don't want to be a nuisance."

The words 'last' and 'last' are often used in albums and concerts, raising questions about whether future activities will continue as a team. Bang Yong-guk "The concept of this album itself is an extension of the last album I wanted to make when I was working as a B.A.P. It's been six to seven years since the album's plan came out, so the name "last" seems to have been used a lot. I think it's a conceptual direction of the world view rather than the last. We will always greet you with new activities, so I hope you're not too bound by the word "last."

Bang Yong-guk said "I hope it will be a long-lasting activity with beautiful memories", and Yoo Young-jae also said "I hope this activity will remain on the side of my mind as a precious memory when I think about it in the future". Moon Jong-up also seems to have not enjoyed the missed times and the wasted times. I appreciate this activity. I want to have fun while promoting"I hoped.

Bang Yong-guk, Jung Dae-hyun, Yoo Young-jae, and Moon Jong-up's first EP 'Curtain Call' will be released on various online music sites from 6 p.m. on the 8th.
