jinyoung0423: 안녕하세요. B1A4 진영입니다. 많이 염려해주시고 격려해주신 바나분들 너무 고맙고 감사합니다. 지난 7일 동안 많은 생각과 고민을 하며 바나 여러분이 남겨주신 글들을 매일 하나하나 읽었습니다. 지난 7년 동안 B1A4를 지켜준 바나들에게 어떻게 글 몇 줄로 그 고맙고 감사한 마음을 다 전할수 있을까요?
저는 B1A4가 그 누구의 것도 아니라고 생각합니다. B1A4는 오직 지난 7년 저희를 응원하고 지지해준 바나 여러분들의 것입니다. 여러분이 있었기에 B1A4가 존재했고 노래할 수 있었습니다.
그래서 무엇보다 이 말씀만큼은 꼭 드리고 싶습니다. 바나 여러분들이 B1A4를 잊지 않고 사랑해주신다면 그 시기가 몇 달 뒤가 됐든 몇 년 뒤가 됐든B1A4는 더 멋진 노래와 더 성숙한 모습으로 다시 여러분들을 찾아갈 겁니다. 희망고문이라도 좋다는 바나 여러분의 글을 접하고 마음이 아팠습니다.. <희망고문>이 <고문>이 아니라 더 밝은 내일을 꿈꾸는 <희망>이 될 수 있도록 저 진영 정말 열심히 노력하겠습니다. 어느 곳에 서 있든 더 멋진 음악과 더 멋진 모습으로 바나분들 곁에서 함께 하겠습니다. 바나분들의 사랑 잊지 않겠습니다. 사랑합니다. 고맙습니다. #b1a4 #bana
B1A4 Jinyoung’s message to BANAs. Hello. This is B1A4’s Jinyoung. To all of the BANAs who worried for us and sent us your encouragement, I am incredibly greatful and thankful. During the past week, I have been thinking a lot while reading each and every one of the messages that BANAs have sent. How would I be able to express just how thankful I am toward the BANAs who have stayed by B1A4’s side over the past seven years? I think that B1A4 does not belong to any one person. B1A4 belongs only to BANAs who have supported and cheered for us throughout these seven years. It is because of you that B1A4 was able to exist and we were able to sing.
More than anything, I wanted to deliver these words to you.
If our BANAs don’t forget B1A4 and continue to love us, then no matter how many months or years it takes, B1A4 will be able to find you again with even greater music and a more mature image. I felt great pain when I read BANAs’ messages about having “false hope”.. I will work very hard so that any worries of a “false” hope can transform to become “hope” with a dream for a brighter tomorrow. No matter where I am, I will always be by BANAs’ side with even greater music and a greater version of myself. I will never forget BANAs’ love. I love you. Thank you. #b1a4 #bana

Five-member boy group B1A4′s Jinyoung (Jung Jin Young, 27) and Baro (Cha Sun Woo, 26) have decided to leave their agency.
After a long discussion leading up to the 30th, it has been reported that Jinyoung and Baro have ultimately made the decision to not renew their contracts with WM Entertainment. On the other hand, the other members Sandeul (Lee Jung Hwan, 26), CNU (Shin Dong Woo, 27) and Gongchan (Gong Chan Shik, 25) have decided to continue their relationship with WM through a contract renewal.
Although B1A4′s contracts did mean to end on April 23rd with their seventh anniversary, their contracts were extended until the end of June for further discussions of contract renewal.
According to a broadcasting official, “With the end of their contracts coming up, all members had a final discussion with their agency, and members Jinyoung and Baro have decided not to re-sign.” As well, “We are aware that WM Entertainment will respect each member’s decisions for their futures. The two leaving members have already received numerous love-calls from other agencies, and talks of contact with actor management companies have also come up.”
Although two members will be leaving their agency, there is still a large possibility that the remaining members will continue on as B1A4.
The group may either take an approach of allowing for open possibilities for future team activities (like Girls’ Generation when a few members did not re-sign with their label), or the remaining members may decide on a way to keep the team going themselves.
B1A4 debuted in 2011 and have released a number of hits including ‘What is Happening’, ‘Solo Day’, ‘Lonely’, ‘Sleep Well Goodnight’, ‘A Lie’ and have received love from Korea, Japan, and throughout Asia.
Leader Jinyoung took on the role of producer for the team, and his skills as a ‘Composer-dol’ were recognized. He also showed off his acting skills through dramas like ‘Moonlight Drawn By Clouds’, ‘Warm and Cozy’, and ‘Persevere Goo Hae Ra’.
Rapper Baro starred in the 2013 tvN drama ‘Reply 1994′ and received spotlight as an ‘actor-dol’, which lead to other projects including ‘God’s Gift-14 days’, ‘Angry Mom’, ‘Manhole’ and other entertainment shows such as ‘Youth Over Flowers’.
Main vocalist Sandeul whose vocal capabilities were widely recognized was able to release his solo album, and participate in a number of drama OSTs. Meanwhile, Gongchan participated in the web-drama ‘Delicious Love’, and CNU appeared in KBS 2TV sitcom ‘Sent From Heaven’ and OnStyle ‘The Body Show 3:My Bodyguard’.
With their busy individual projects, B1A4 was not able to do anything as a group around their seventh anniversary. In 2009, the Fair Trade Commission created a standard contract period of seven years for entertainers, and many artists’ exclusive contracts have largely been set for this seven-year period, leaving the discussion of renewal and transferring from agencies to take place after this period for a large number of artists.
UPDATE: Official comments from WM
“We, WM Entertainment, have had long discussions with the members of B1A4 leading up to the end of their contracts. And in the end, we are fully respecting the decisions of Jinyoung and Baro, who have decided to walk their own paths in order to reach their dreams.”
“In their current positions they have decided to take on a new path, and so we will send them our truthful cheers for the members’ new beginnings.” “We will work our hardest and fully support CNU, Sandeul, and Gongchan in their growth moving forward. Also, for the many fans who love B1A4 and cheer for them endlessly, we will work hard for you too.” “We apologize for any trouble this may have caused in many fans’ hearts, and now at this new starting point, we ask for your blessings toward the B1A4 members, and for your never-ending warm love and interest toward them.”

Summary: The first ‘I love you’ should be special…right?
Warnings:None
“I love you.” Those three simple words have shaken Jinyoung to his core. Sure, he loves you and knows you love him, but Jinyoung is a man of tradition. The first ‘I love you’ should be a special moment, romantic and sweet. Not in the middle of doing laundry.
“You…don’t have to say it back.” Your quiet voice brings Jinyoung out of his thoughts. “I just wanted to tell you tha–”
Jinyoung cuts you off, pressing his lips to yours feverishly. “I love you too.” His words are rushed, but his voice carries them thick with emotion, and you smile at him and wrap your arms around his neck to kiss him once more.
Just as he leans in for a third kiss, however you pause. “I’m sorry I messed up your ‘First-I-Love-U-Dinner plan,” you muse.
His grip tightens on your waist. “How did you find out?” He’s almost dreading the answer.
You shrug. “Jackson told me.” Jinyoung’s eyes narrow and you make a point to text Jackson later to warn him.
Sometime later, somewhere on the other side of Seoul, Jackson checks his phone halfway through dinner with Jaebeom. He audibly gulps. “Hyung…” Jaebeom looks up from his kimchi hot pot slowly. “…hyung, I think I’m going to die tonight. Jinyoungie’s going to kill me.”
Jaebeom rolls his eyes and returns to his food. Jackson’s just being over dramatic as usual.
