B.A.P’s Bang, Jung, Yoo & Moon releases ‘Gone’ and their newest EP ‘Curtain call’

B.A.P (Best Absolute Perfect 비에이피) originally got their career started within the music and entertainment industry through debuting as a 6 member South Korean Boy Group on January 26th 2012 underneath their now former agency/company TS Entertainment. Their debut apart from the iconic blonde hair look, B.A.P would stand out from the crowd with their ‘Warrior’ of a debut and attract thousands of eyes and attention with their back to back releases and hard work. Thanks to this and the love and work of the fanbase (often referred to as Babys) they would win numerous awards around the world while also receiving Germany’s remarkable award in 2012 before winning at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2013 and 2014. 

Although many fans would fight against the company for harsh treatment and little to no rest in between recording albums, singles, and world tours within this time frame, the group would eventually go on to come back with their 8th single album [ EGO ] which would contain the title track ‘Hands Up’ and MOON Dance and THINK Hole and a concert solo album would also be released before the truth about the members hardships would be announced and the members would file lawsuits against their agency for slave contracts and in correct pay, fans shared their opinions and more information here. 

Not to long after the group would become 5 members, the members would eventually exit through the company after contract expiration in 2019 and go their separate ways. For some of the members this included teaching dance classes, taking time off social media, entering military, taking time with family, or starting their solo careers. TS would later privately shut down after issues with their rookie group (TRCNG) would be released after members within the group and Dispatch would release information about their living conditions within this time frame. 

Since then the members have achieved numerous impressive achievements in their own solo careers and modelling careers, while Moon Jongup would attract new hearts and new fans through taking part in Peak Time he would later become the leader of Team 4:00, Bang Yongguk would release numerous songs and EP’s before holding tours and most recently releasing the US Tour Dates for 2024, Zelo would teach dance behind the scenes while also making solo music releases before recently enlisting in military, YoungJae would become the official MC (Host) for the rookie group BLITZERS debut showcase while Daehyun would sign with different companies to promote himself and recently announcing he will be in New York for the K Fun Summer School Event. 

With small group reunions in between, sending YoungJae off to military in a cute photo together and featuring each other on funny and memorable Instagram live streams, there is no doubt that the love for each other goes strong and the fans are still supporting the members in their own ways. 2023 would start off for many fans learning that Jung Daehyun has since joined MA Entertainment and will join Moon Jongup at the company, promoting together in cute videos and providing fans to content on MA Entertainment’s official YouTube Channel. 

It wouldn’t be long before many fans would bring up the idea of a full or semi group official reunion would be confirmed through a heartfelt and tear jerking documentary for ‘Man on the moon’ which would be originally teased through a teaser on June 11th 2024 with sub titles provided in English, Chinese and Japanese, it would be long until the documentary would provide 4 episodes for fans before the official Moon Sampler for Curtain Call would be release, the EP ‘Curtain Call’ also featuring the pre release single of ‘Farewell’. 

On August 8th 2024, fans would awake to a new mv by the members for ‘Gone’, while Zelo would comment on the mv himself supporting his hyungs (older brothers), the officially group choreography was created by MOTF (Men of The Future) a popular choreographing crew and team.
