[FANACCOUNT] Music Core Pre-Recording

It’s 1:30am and i’m writing this (I might forget something if I wait OTL), so it might be a little short in some places because i’m exhausted lol.
THERE ARE GOING TO BE SPOILERS IN THIS, SO IF YOU DON’T WANT THEIR COMEBACK PERFORMANCE TO BE SPOILED, DON’T READ IT.also if you take any info out of my fan account, please credit me! thank you! ^^

SO B.A.P’S PRERECORD. let’s start from the beginning.
I get out of class at 1pm, head over to the MBC building in Yeoido since for some reason they’re having it there instead of the regular building they film Music Core in (w/e it’s almost 40 minutes closer to me lol). So I literally book it out there as fast as I can and end up getting there around 2pm ish because COUPLES EVERYWHERE.
But anyways, I get there and there’s probably a bit over 100 or so people in line already. I expected more so i’m happy. Fan staff don’t come until 4pm to give out numbers so yay only waiting two hours! and then the recording starts at 5pm!! so little waiting time! :D then I remembered, lol korea. nothing is ever on time. but while we were waiting, this truck happened to drive by and everyone freaked out LOL.

our poor matoki all disassembled lol.

anyways when the fan staff arrived and started giving out numbers, I noticed that a ton of people in front of me were unofficial, so I ended up being number 78! :D
when I was checked it, it was almost 4:40pm and the staff told me to come back to line up at 5:20pm. okaaay.. so we’re already late lol. Also one thing I noticed! The fan staff had a TON of presents for Himchan from the fans! It was cute to see. And the photo cards! There were two different cards and each person got one of the two. I got this one:

the other one was a different version of a group picture. it seems like the day before they were giving out this grey card and a solo Yongguk card.

so more waiting, the sun is going down and it’s getting windy and super chilly. 5:20 comes, everyone gets in line and we wait. and wait. and wait. until 7pm rolls around and we’re still outside! Finally at maybe 7:10ish they let us inside so we all think, YES. WE’RE GOING TO SEE B.A.P. lol nope. we all get put in a narrow hallway to sit and wait in some more! we didn’t actually get inside the studio until almost 8pm OTL. While we were waiting, the fan staff told us that recording wasn’t going to finish until 9pm. A lot of girls were really unhappy about this because a lot of them were really young so they had to get home.

So now we go inside the recording studio! B.A.P is already on stage because they’ve been practicing already (we could hear them from outside).
B.A.P all looked so good, like wow omg. Yongguk wore cargo pants tucked into black combat books with a leather sleeveless shirt, Jongup wore the cargo pant combo too, but with a tight long sleeved shirt with straps. Daehyun wore all black with tightish pants and a long sleeved shirt with straps, Zelo and Youngjae wore a similar outfit. YOUNGJAE’S PANTS THOUGH. I swear to god they were just leggings. How could jeans be that tight I have no idea. Poor baby probably couldn’t even breathe.
AND JONGUP’S HAIR. it wasn’t styled up, it was just like… combed over lol. it reminded me of gd’s hair in fantastic baby. he even had a single pink extension and two blue ones. what are you doing coordis ;3;
Himchan was also there!! He was standing back towards the monitors with some of the coordis! He was there until halfway through B.A.P’s first recording, then walked back somewhere else.

but back to the fans. fan staff told us before we went inside to be quiet and not scream or be loud at all. Everyone was so well behaved and followed directions so beautifully. It was so nice. They told us instead of screaming, wave our lightsticks! so that’s exactly what we all did! during the first hour and a half we were in there for recording, B.A.P was shooting individual scenes and separate sections that were going to be edited together later.
They run through the whole song twice, zelo’s solo twist dance 6 times, the upper body twirl part with all the members 6 times, the one shot chorus push up dance part 8 or 9 times and the part where they all fall down 3 times.
Babys were really, really good about controlling themselves and not screaming even thought they were so cool.
It was especially hard when one of the members would do something to provoke our screaming though OTL. I’m going to just bullet the random things the members did during the first part of the shoot.
- Daehyun waved at us first, some silent screams and lots of flailing of the lightsticks
- Youngjae and Zelo waved next. These three mostly gave us fan service.
- Jongup continuously practiced his moves between shoots.
- Yongguk stayed hidden behind one of the banners that decorated the set with two of the backup dancers.
- Youngjae figured out that he could make Babys do pretty much anything. So he started swaying his hands in the air at us, which we copied. Then he went faster, so we went faster. He stopped, waved really frantically, we copied again. Then he just started doing combinations of all three and of course we copied all of them LOL. Daehyun joined a little later and they did it for lie.. 5 minutes lol. Youngjae said something like “watch this” (i’m assuming at least lol), he waved frantically at us, so we did it back and then they both looked at each other and bent over laughing lol. YOU’RE NOT MAKING IT EASY TO STAY QUIET YOU TWO :T
- Jongup ran to the middle of the stage at one point, stood there with his legs spread wide, waved at us really excitedly and then Zelo shuffled under him between his legs lol.
- Yongguk started rubbing the Matoki’s belly at some point too lol. idek why.
- during all those takes of the chorus push up dance part, yongguk would do actually push ups between every few takes.
- YOUNGJAE SINGS HIMCHAN’S PART. and wow he’s amazing at it.
- While Zelo was filming just his part of the twist dance, the other members were on either side just hanging around. Then Yongguk started to do it for some reason, then a backup dancer did it, then the other three members started walking around doing it xD
these are the people we love.

So after all that time recording we think it’s done and we can leave since it’s almost 9pm! Again, nope. TIME FOR STANDING. They move all the cameras and equipment out of the way in front of the stage and make a standing area for us. Even though I was number 78, I was only 4 rows back from the stage behind very short korean girls. 4 rows back is very, very close. I could see every little detail on them LOL :D
After taking almost 30 minutes to get everyone in standing and situated, B.A.P comes back and now we’re allowed to scream! so of course everyone goes crazy :D
BUT WAIT. THE 4TH MEMBER TO COME OUT. HIMCHAN COMES UP ON STAGE WITH THEM. They introduce themselves and give the mic to Himchan. He says hello, asks us if we’re tired and things like “it’s cold outside isn’t it? stay warm babys~”. He also apologizes for not being able to perform and everyone starts being all “aww nooo!”
He thanks us and walks off stage.
B.A.P then performs the whole song 3 more times~
- Youngjae has gotten really skinny, he’s almost as skinny as Daehyun now
- Yongguk has terrible eye bags, he looks like he’s about to pass out from exhaustion. Probably why he keeps hiding in the corner where no one can see him.
- Zelo is sick. He was sniffling and coughing a ton through the recording. Also looked exhausted.
- Jongup absolutely killed his singing and dancing parts. Like wow he did incredible.
- During the push up dance part of the chorus where Zelo and Jongup do a solo dance in the back, the height difference is really, really noticeable. Even though Jongup had the highest heels on his shoes lol.
- Every time the guy would come out with that thing you click together before every take, Youngjae would copy him haha
- Daehyun really liked to wave and smile back at the girls on his side in the front row. They’d freak out and he’d crack up at them. There was one time when he smiled at some girl and she made a sound that almost sounded like a meow. It was right when they were starting the next take and he had to stop and give himself a minute, he was laughing so hard LOL.
- since yongguk wore a sleeveless shirt, the push up dance was so amazing to watch him do. omg his muscles <3 his arms seriously have literally no fat on them I swear. All I saw was veins and muscle. they’ve gotten bigger too since No Mercy.
- while they would record parts of the push up dance again, Zelo would sit on his knees with his hands in his lap. He looked so innocent and cute haha.
- The dance is really, really intense. Youngjae kept losing his breath really bad in the middle of some of them.
- It’s all lip synced. sorry lol.
- Daehyun stand at the very edge of the stage sometimes when his solo parts would come up. he was so close omfg.

After performing a bunch more times, they head off stage and the staff start working on a smoke scene for the opening! It looks super cool with the lights and the giant Matoki in the background. After maybe 15 minutes of that, B.A.P comes back out and they shoot the opening with the smoke. And wow. Seriously wow. I got chills it was so cool looking. With all the red laser lights, the deep booming music of the beginning of the song and then all of them emerging from the smoke as it disappeared. CHILLS.
They filmed that 3 times and THEN IT WAS FINISHED. finally done at almost 10pm.
yay 8 hours of waiting and recording @_@

Himchan came back up on stage, Yongguk did the “B.A.P YESSIR” thing again and the mic was once again handed to Himchan (to whom everyone cheered the loudest for! :D)
He thanked us for being there and asked us if we were tired (of course we said no lol;; LYING TO OPPA). The last thing he said was “I’m sorry I can’t perform now, but you’re all going to the concert right?” THEN FINISHED AND WALKED OFF STAGE. YOU CAN’T JUST SAY THAT AND WALK OFF.

And about his hand/cast. It looks like he broke/fractured the part of his fingers that’s the knuckle/hand. Not the finger, finger. Does this make sense lol;;; His hand was all wrapped up, but not his fingers. It also seemed like he was wearing a brace under his clothes because his arm was at a 90 degree angle and wasn’t moving from it. But I dunno, that’s just what it looked like to me.

Aaaaand I think that’s it? haha it’s 2:40am now and I need to wake up at 4am to head to Music bank for another B.A.P prerecording.. ;v;
I hope this fan account wasn’t too all over the place. I’m really tired OTL;
goodnight and make sure to watch Music Core this saturday!!!
