[INTERVIEW] B1A4's Sandeul, Baro

Interview with boy band B1A4's Sandeul and Baro

B1A4's Sandeul [Chae Ki-won/10Asia]

My name is Sandeul. My real name is Lee Jung-hwan.
I was born on March 20, 1992. I have a sister who is two years older than me.
People think that I have a big head because I have a lot of hair. Do you think that my head will look twice as big if I had a long hair like CNU?
My hair was cut asymmetrical when I first joined B1A4. (Baro: You did? I thought you hair was just bushy.) I cut it that way but it just grew. I don't think the other members remember that. Hmm...(Gongchan: That was Lee Jung-hwan.) Yeah, that's right. Lee Jung-hwan and Sandeul are two different people. (laugh)
The prank the members did on me with a hidden camera was the worst of all times. I heard a noise in the dorm and saw Jinyoung on the floor. I thought it was really serious and the other members told me to carry him, and while I was doing so, I heard him laughing. That is when I knew that I was being pranked. (Jinyoung: I just hit the floor with my hand and laid there softly.)
I am good in acting sick as well (laugh). Thanks to that, I skipped school several times when I was in elementary school. There was this one time in kindergarten when I received a shot because I faked being sick. The doctor placed a big needle on my back like BAM! I can't even explain it. I couldn't let out any noise and just sat there with tears rolling down my face.
I remember I was in an accident when I was younger from an amusement park when a rope was cut while I was tied with it. You had to tie a rope around yourself and do flips. Before the accident happened, I saw that the elastic rope was about to be cut because it was so old. In the split second, when I thought that something was going wrong, the rope was cut and my body just dropped. My parents lodged a complaint to the people in charge of the ride. Since then, I don't trust anything where you have to tie yourself to a rope.
I like to play baseball but I honestly find it to be boring when I see others playing it. I don't know much about professional baseball games but I don't like Hanhwa Eagles team. Whenever I visit the Busan Sajik Baseball Stadium, Hanhwa always wins when playing against the Lotte Giants. I got really angry once and told myself that I won't watch baseball games anymore because of Hanhwa. I later found out that CNU is a fan of the team (laugh). (CNU: I don't know why he acts like that towards them.)
There are times when Gongchan scares me because of his keen senses. Whenever we play the Mafia game, he just looks around and points at the suspect. It just scares me!
I'm really good at cooking rice. We get to eat hard boiled rice whenever I'm in charge of cooking, but when other members cook it, the rice gets cooked really hard or dry. (Jinyoung: I admit it! He's good at controlling the amount of the water)

B1A4's Baro [Chae Ki-won/10Asia]

My name is Baro. My real name is Cha Sun-woo and I'm the only member in B1A4 who has the blood type B.
I was born on September 5, 1992. I have a younger sister who just entered high school.
I composed all the raps in our songs. I'm the kind of person that goes by the feeling when writing rap lyrics. So when I listen to the rap I wrote a day after writing it, I get a different feeling of the song and I revise it till I feel confident with it. But there are times when I put together the pieces I wrote in the past with the lyrics I wrote recently. I only do that when I can't come up with something better!
This is the first time since high school that I cut my hair this short. I feel that short hair cuts suit me better and it's really comfortable when I take showers. It takes me exactly three minutes to wash and dry my hair (laugh). My hair didn't dry as fast and my scalp was really bad when I bleached my hair. Now, I feel so refreshed.
I used to dream of becoming an actor. I never studied that much when I was in high school because I thought that majoring in acting in universities in Seoul was the only way to become an actor. I dramatically stopped by lifestyle of listening to music and playing games all the time, and began to study really hard. For about...a month? (laugh) My got better grades later and ranked within the top half in the class.
My mom helped me out a lot when I went to the company for my audition. She sent me to a dermatologist and bought me new clothes. I think that was the first time she bought me expensive outfits.
I was the first member to be cast in B1A4. You can call me the first member (laugh). (Sandeul: The first? Do I have to call you a senior?) I secretly watched Jinyoung during his audition and he did such a great job in acting 'Gong Gal' (Jinyoung: Do you mean 'Gong Gil'?) Ah, I knew something was wrong. Was the title of the movie "King and Me"? (CNU: (laugh) It's "King and the Clown." / Sandeul: First member, what's wrong with you? You're usually smart.) Anyway, I was really immersed in his acting the character and he seemed really cool. So I persuaded the company officials to pick him. And he was good looking.
We always do rock, paper and scissor in order to pick which member gets to take a shower first. It's good to wash up first when winning it, but I feel that the turn always rotates and all members get their turns to shower first.
The other members don't like it when Sandeul or I am in charge of cooking. We both can't cook and it was to the point where they had to tell us to bring some instant food. I was really surprised to taste food that Sandeul prepared on variety show "Weekly Idol."
The thing about our pranks with hidden cameras is that it goes on for a long time. It has to have a reasonable story and you shouldn't try to show everything at once. That's the best way to get someone fooled (laugh). Sometimes, Jinyoung practices his acting even when we're not playing pranks on anybody. He lies on his bed saying that he's sick and can't breath. I think even Sandeul, who used to be naive, is now used to his tricks.
I like to go on rides but I'm not fond of speedy machines. I got a phobia after seeing my mom's car get in an accident when I was young. I don't even want to get my driver's license. Safety is the best. Always be safe!
