After a seven-year hiatus, iconic K-pop boyband B.A.P has thrilled fans worldwide with the announcement of their reunion and plans for new music. This exciting news was unveiled in a surprise teaser for their upcoming documentary titled ‘Man on the Moon’.
A Teaser That Took Fans by Surprise
On June 12, B.A.P dropped a teaser for ‘Man on the Moon’, featuring four of its original members: Bang Yong-guk, Moon Jong-up, Jung Dae-hyun, and Yoo Young-jae. Noticeably absent was Zelo, who is currently fulfilling his mandatory military service.
The Announcement and What It Means for Fans
In the teaser, the quartet expressed their gratitude to their loyal fans and shared their excitement about reuniting. “To all the fans who’ve been waiting, we’re finally together,” they announced. “As much as you’ve supported us all this time, we’ll show you how much we’ve grown musically. We hope you’re looking forward to it. We’ll see you soon.”
However, it remains unclear if Zelo will be able to participate in the band’s comeback once his military service is complete.
Looking Back: B.A.P’s Journey
B.A.P’s last musical offering was their eighth single album, ‘Ego’, released in December 2017. Following this release, the group faced a significant transition. In 2018, Yong-guk and Zelo departed from their long-time label, TS Entertainment, after their contracts expired. The remaining members followed suit in 2019, marking the end of an era and leaving fans in suspense about the group’s future.
Debut and Rise to Fame
B.A.P burst onto the K-pop scene in 2013, quickly amassing a massive international following. However, their journey has not been without challenges. In November 2014, the band made headlines by filing a lawsuit against TS Entertainment. The lawsuit aimed to terminate their contracts due to allegations of unfair working conditions and profit distribution.
What’s Next for B.A.P?
As fans eagerly anticipate the release of ‘Man on the Moon’ and new music from B.A.P, the group’s reunion promises to be a significant moment in K-pop history. The documentary will offer an intimate look at their journey, growth, and plans for the future.
