☆ Let's Fly Track List ☆

1. O.K

The title track of this album. Worldwide trend of rock-based intense electronic beats coupled with B1A4's fresh explosive vocals and fantastic choreography, it will show the standard of a thoroughly prepared idol. With imposing lyrics as such 'Just you is OK' and addictive melody,  the music scene is already in a B1A4 craze!!

2. Remember

With intense synths and temperate beats mixed with BARO's impressive rap, the second song is a song where B1A4's masculine charms rises to a high and shows a different side to their cute image.

3. 못된 것만 배워서 / Only Learnt the Bad Things

Rhythmic hip-hop beats arranged with the grooves of an analog-like instrument. It is an especially impressive song where at uptempo, there is an unrestricted cross-over that brings out B1A4's gorgeous harmonies.

4. Bling Girl

It is the talk of the town, a song in which member Jinyoung was involved in songwriting, and all the B1A4 members were involved in writing lyrics. Fresh and heart-pounding love of teens in their 10's was well expressed by B1A4.

5. Only One

A song formed by the meeting of lyrical piano and the harmony of Jinyoung's sweet mellow, Sandeul's deep soul, Shinwoo's mournful, Gongchan's emotional voices, creating a mysterious balance.

6. O.K (Inst.)

Jinyoung, Shinwoo (CNU), BARO, Sandeul, Gongchan... 5 members of individual personalities have come together to form elite male idol group B1A4. Not just visual(ly appealing), the members have outstanding musical abilities and the ambitious personalities of forming the ultimate idol group in this golden age. B1A4 is the abbreviation of 'Be The One, All For One', with the meaning of 'the best is formed when 5 become 1'. The idea was also conceived by 4 of the 5 members having blood type A, and 1 having blood type B.

B1A4's mini album [Let's Fly] has 'O.K' as the title song. With 6 tracks including 'Remember', 'Only Learnt the Bad Things', 'Bling Girl' etc, the variety of colors of B1A4 can be felt.

Lee Sangho, who created hit songs of Beast, T-ara, F.T Island, C.N Blue, Lee Seunggi etc, is the main producer of this album. Im Sanghyuk (Beast's main songwriter) and Jeon Dawoon (K.Will's main songwriter) have also participated alongside Wheesung (as lyricist), improving the overall completion of the album. Also, member Jinyoung was directly involved in songwriting and BARO took charge of the overall rap-making of the album, showing off their musical abilities.

The music video of  title track 'O.K' was directed by Korea's best music video producer, Joo Heeseon. A stylish video that felt as if the members were characters of shoujo mangas come-alive was made. Also, Ha Wooshin and Lee Ilhyung of one of the world's top 3 performance team PREPIX have taken charge of choreography.

He studied composition, singing, and even acting since he was young, it's a prepared rookie with versatile talents and who received a training for several years. His outstanding musical abilities are going to get revealed soon, it's planned to include the songs he wrote on the first album too".

"2011, rappers reversal!" flower boy image

In 2011, 'Idol rapper''s standards changed. Big Bang's TOP was the very first one to get called 'Reversal rapper'.

Their common point, which is also their handicap, is that they cause the noonas' protectiveness with their pretty boy image, but as soon as they hold a mic their beastly rap flows out easily.

This strong rappers with husky and deep voices that don't match their flower boy looks. are all ready to shake the women's hearts in the idol market.

▶ New idol rapper from 'B1A4', Baro (19)

5-membered male rookie idol group B1A4. their members were revealed one by one, and the eye-catching reversed rapper caught our attention.

It's the rapper Baro (19) that got revealed through B1A4's official homepage (www.b1a4.com).

In the picture that was released today (12th) Baro's smart and classy looks didn't look like he was a hip-hop boy but gave off a urban feeling. Moreover his milky-white skin contrasting with his dark eyes that seem to be telling something to us is showing his soft but strong charisma.

Following WM Entertainement, Baro's characteristic is his fierce rapping coming from his masculine voice tone which is in opposition to his young look.

The company stated "In opposition to Baro's youthful look, he has a charmful rapping tone and took care of the rap making of all the songs for the debut album and has excellent rapping skills".

It was revealed throught their official homepage (www.b1a4.com) that B1A4 are going to make their debut by the end of April, the countdown began for B1A4,

The rookie male idol group B1A4, who's having their debut soon, is heating up the community.

For the first time in the country's history, a group is promoting through a web-toon. They weren't the members' real pictures but they were shown as "characters in a manhwa". Netizens are discussing over the pro and the cons about them.

A netizen explained the meaning of the group's name from "5 conversations" on an online community board saying it was "1 B type member and 4 A type members", he left a post analyzing the web-toon and said that there was 1 B type member and 4 A type members.

Seeing this post, a big part of the netizens commented, "That's really crazy" "What if there was an O type? It would be AB0?" "How can you make a group's name like this?" and reactions like: "Is there really something like this in the web-toon? I need to read it again" "It's really new and unusual" "I'm really expecting it, will they become a special idol like their name?", showing directly-opposed responses but the fact is that they attracted everyone's attention.

Moreover, since they didn't release the members' real image, netizens said "They're not real persons, they're cyber-singers" and "Adding all the characters from the manhwa Shinwoo, Gongchan, Sandeul, Jinyoung, Baro and the girl character, it's a mixed-gender 6 membered group" about B1A4 only by reading the web-toon. Various theories spread about B1A4 profiles and curiousity is growing about them.

The company stated: "In the web-toon, a lot of funny things about B1A4 are hidden" and "Even in the company, phone calls came asking about it, next week the member's profile will be revealed, look forward to it".

With the rookie group's unusual promotion and the different marketing, it makes our expectations grow about B1A4's next move.
