A talented group, Bangtan Boys, finally started ! Here's the first step to a big dream !

The Last Year a hip hop boygroup Bangtan Boys made attention with their japanese debut onJune.All their music production, dance and visual are self-produced. They finished the 1st Tour -BTS 2014 LIVE TRILOGY EPISODE II.THE RED BULLET- on November, with a strong qualities and powerful sound of high live performance. We Don't think they was Rookie because they showed the real presence. After the tour was finished, the 1st Album [WAKE UP] will be release on December 24th ,we tried to approach their other side which can't seen in the stage,such as a secret story and future goals related to the album title .

The strong feeling that put in the album title which wanted to convey a "Beginning".

──Firstly, how the impression of 1st tour "2014 BTS LIVE TRILOGY EPISODEII.THE RED BULLET" ?

V : Although i throbbed and worried about the first tour in Japan, i thought the tour was finished successfully because we got a good responses from all.Jungkook : At first, i'm so worried about how many people would be coming to seeing our concert. But, when i saw the seat was filled and many fans enjoyed, i'm so glad.Rap Monster : It was my first time to do a solo performance in front of 5,000 peoples. So, i was tense and felt uneasy, but when i did it, i'm feeling well. For us, it was a very good experience.Jimin : When the situation in the venue became fun, then we were able to enjoy it together.J-Hope : I can feel it because we got energy from fans. This time are Kobe and Tokyo, so it became a good memory.Jin : Me too, the impression such as got a power from fans was left very much.Suga : At first, i felt uneasy that do fans will be enjoy the show. But, as the show progressed, i felt well. From now, we will show more cool side of us and try the best !

──It was the live performance that highly expected to be japan activities in the future. Completed an Album [Wake Up] was so fun, by the way, what kind of feelling that put in the title album ?

Rap Monster : If it is a literal translation, the meaning is "waking up", but it isn't an ordinary interpretation. Our activities in Japan was officially started and i thought that it was good to express the strength of the message that we put in this song. So, we decided to pick "Wake Up". In fact, there was "STEP" in the list too.Suga : In Japanese there was "目覚める" (Wake Up) too.Rap Monster : How many number of words to express a "Beginning" ?Suga : From those words, the members was discussed and decided which is the best.

──In the album, there are contain some original japanese song like「いいね！Pt.2〜あの場所で〜」「THE STARS」「WAKE UP」.

Rap Monster : That is a bright melody and be able to impress that three songs with the title album.Suga : To make this song, we worked together with Japanese DJ, so this song has a Shibuya Hip Hop style and i think that for japanese fans, it will be able to have rejoice.Rap Monster : There is no incongruity at all even if i compare it with the music that we showed before. It is a music that made by our subjectivity, but the directionality of the music is same as in the japanese original music.Jungkook : Because the melody was superb, so i enjoyed the recording.Jin : Among these three songs, there is a song with full of hope. That is 「THE STARS」, i like this song because it remembered me about the past. In fact, i wrote the lyric in that song. I'm trying to write while thought about the melody and bright character that match to J-Hope, but it has been rejected. (laugh)Rap Monster : 「THE STARS」was composed by KM-MARKIT and me. Even though it is a japanese original song, the song production isn't different with korean song. But, that doesn't mean i am listening a lot of japanese song, i think that maybe i can assimilated the feeling that suited with Japan.
