The band consists of Jinyoung, Baro, Sandeul, CNU and Gongchan. The group was first introduced through an online comic series, or "webtoon". The group has released 2 mini albums (EPs) and various singles. The group also made the foray in Japan in December and is also planning for a formal debut this January.
Their group name, B1A4, has been explained as being due to one member (Baro) having B blood type, and the other four (Jinyoung, Gongchan, CNU, Sandeul) having A blood type. It also stands for "Be The One, All For One". B1A4 have been dubbed "countryside-dols" by Korean media, because all the members originate from the Korean countryside. Jinyoung is from Chungju, Chungcheongbuk-do; CNU is from Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do; Sandeul is from Busan, Baro is from Kwangju, Jeollanam-do; Gongchan is from Suncheon, Jeollanam-do.

A pic of Match UP Block b / B1A4 I really like it ^^
I found them when I was watching Match UP for Block B even if I like BB more than B1A4 I still like them ^^
I just woke up and saw they made Sesame Player Season 3 (Mblaq and Infinite did it too) EP1 is already out i'm so happy!
they are the cutest. it took me awhile though to figure out the engrish in beautiful target. I thought he was saying locket instead of rocket which gives it a whole different meaning.
B1A4 is one of my fav. k-pop rookie groups out there. the two albums they've released are awesome (Let's Fly & It's B1A4) ^__^ . they are enjoyable to watch in their stage performances.
I don't know lots of kpop boys groups other than mblaq and I just recently caus' of WGM learned the names of the members of suju. i only knew hottie shi won. so I don't really know how boys bands work but why is NCU ( shinwoo) always alone ? It like the others rarely speak to him ( his name is not lonely boy). I feels really bad for him. at first I was attracted to the leader, he's cute but then I sax sesame player and I am a shinwoo biased now so I don't know why do they always left him out. he ist just so adorable awkward maybe but you can't help to like him. So why the member give him the cold shulder. in snsd soehyun ist timid but all her unnies like her.
someone knows the reason why he is left out like this? please tell me? I want to give him a hug.
