BANG&JUNG&YOO&MOON

BANG&JUNG;&YOO;&MOON;, formerly known as B.A.P, is a five-member boy group under MA Entertainment. Originally six members, they debuted on January 26, 2012, with "Warrior." The group disbanded in February 2019 after members chose not to renew their contracts with TS Entertainment. In June 2024, the group reformed and announced a new comback with the members Yongguk, Daehyun, Youngjae, and Jongup, as Zelo is currently in the military. They have made it clear that Zelo is still a member of the group through multiple of their promotional photos that feature their Matoki mascots. Pre-debut, leader Yongguk collaborated with Jieun who is a former member of Secret and debuted solo in 2011 before forming the duo Bang & Zelo. In January 2012, the reality show "Ta-Dah, It's B.A.P" aired, showcasing their journey to debut. B.A.P's debut song "Warrior" featured a tough bad-boy image, contrasting the K-pop norm, landing them on Billboard's World Albums Chart at #10. They followed up with "Power" and several mini albums, including "No Mercy" and "Badman." In 2014, they released their first full-length album, "First Sensibility," and toured globally. In November 2014, they filed a lawsuit against TS Entertainment for unfair contracts, returning to the agency in August 2015 after a settlement. B.A.P continued releasing music, including the albums"Matrix," "Carnival," and "Noir." In 2017 and 2018, they released several singles and Japanese albums before disbanding in 2019. In 2024, they announced a comeback as BANG&JUNG;&YOO;&MOON; with a documentary "Man on the Moon" and an EP "Curtain Call." A fan concert is scheduled for August 17 and 18.
