B.A.P

B.A.P is known to stand for "Best Absolute Perfect." The name expresses the ambition to become the best and a truly complete team. In Korean, it is read letter by letter as "Bi-ei-pi," and in English it is simply pronounced as the three letters B, A and P.

B.A.P debuted on January 27, 2012, with "Warrior." Some sources give a slightly different date for the single's release. From the debut song onward, the group drew attention with a strong hip-hop sound and powerful performances that defined its early image.

At the time of its disbandment, B.A.P belonged to TS Entertainment. The group's releases, performances and official announcements were handled through this agency. Today the former members work under different companies, so the most accurate information comes from each member's own official channels.

B.A.P's fandom was called BABY. The name referred to the fans who supported the group throughout its career, and fans were addressed by it at concerts and events. Even after the disbandment, fans still use the name BABY as they remember the group's music together.

Widely known B.A.P songs include "Power," "One Shot," "Badman" and "1004 (Angel)." They range from powerful hip-hop tracks to songs with a more lyrical, emotional mood. If you are new to the group, these songs are a good place to begin listening.

B.A.P was known in its early days for a storyline casting the members as aliens from "Planet Mato" who came to Earth, along with a tough, intense image. Musically, the group built on hip-hop while mixing in R&B and rock elements, standing out among idol groups of the time.

B.A.P's later songs include "Young, Wild & Free," "Skydive" and "Wake Me Up." In these tracks you can hear the group's musical palette gradually widening beyond its early intense style. Listening to them alongside the early songs makes it easier to understand how the group evolved.

B.A.P disbanded on February 18, 2019. In 2024, four of the members released an album under the name Bang & Jung & Yoo & Moon, and in September 2025 they returned to individual activities. For the members' current work, please check each member's own official channels.
