    I really hope it's as Daehyun says, maybe they are just throwing us off with the name of this and the title tracks, that would be a huge relief for me. I really want something with Zelo involved, but if this is their last as b.a.p i hope they go out with a bang and know just how much they are/were loved and supported (sorry it took me hours to respond i work graveyards and didn't have a chance to respond sooner)

    No worries at all! And I agree.. Part of me thinks that maybe they are testing the waters with this comeback. If the response is good, then they might have more comebacks in the future but if it’s lukewarm then it’s their way of giving the fans a proper farewell. I think they regret how things ended last time and they want to end things on their own terms (which I totally respect) to give everyone closure.


    My other theory is that since Jongup got a boost of popularity with Peak Time, he wants to gather the rest of BAP to keep the momentum going so they have no choice but to have a comeback while he’s still “fresh” on everyone’s minds (it’s been a year but I think they waited until Youngjae got discharged) and it’s sad that Zelo won’t be included. However, if we wait for Zelo to be discharged from the army, then Jongup will be serving at that time and it doesn’t make sense for MA entertainment to gather BAP for a comeback if their own artist is not available. I think the timing is perfect. Not sure if Yongguk’s company would be able to accommodate BAP as a group for a comeback since I’m thinking maybe MA ent has more resources so it makes sense that they did things this way. Anyway, these are just my speculations but yes let’s hope we see more of them in the future when both Zelo and Jongup are back!

    I have to come back and say that even though the fan accounts have disappeared from Youtube, there are still a lot of them on instagram and that makes me so happy. I think the boys will be fine since they still are very much loved by BABYs worldwide. Yes the fandom is a lot smaller now but there are still a lot of BABYs out there. I think I was fixating too much on youtube views but I think that BABYs don’t do much streaming anymore to increase views so I’m just not going to focus on views anymore and just enjoy their music. Yongguk is going on a Europe tour in October so at least that gives me comfort that he’s still active musically. Daehyun said it’s not their last project together as BAP so that gives me a lot of hope for the future. Looking forward to this much awaited comeback!

    I dunno how this ended up being 2 comments lol. I’m using akp forums after almost 10 years so I don’t know how to comment anymore 😂

    Sorry I really didn’t mean to single you out and say that you’re not a true BAP fan. As a fan who was there since their debut and at the height of their popularity and to see now how they’ve basically been forgotten by the newer K-pop fans, it does break my heart. Like this other user said, there used to be so many accounts with BAP profile photos or usernames, they had many international fan accounts and fan channels on youtube. Now I search for BAP fan content and it’s pretty non existent. BAP videos would get tons of views without even trying and now even Yongguk’s music videos are barely pulling 100k (check out his MV for Bad as an example). Episode 2 of their comeback documentary barely even has 50k views! I’m beyond heartbroken at this point. I feel so helpless as a fan because I wish people would genuinely care about them but I can’t force people to pick who they want to follow. Their solo music has been so good (maybe not the most radio friendly except for Jongup) but I don’t understand how the MV views and public interest in them is so low.

    Yeah I agree.. also a lot of BABYs have left K-pop and moved on with their lives and have other priorities so I completely understand if they don’t have enough time to dedicate to BAP fan pages but I don’t think they are gaining that many new fans to make up for it. I’m still holding out hope that this comeback will be a successful one and they will change their minds after seeing how loved three are and possibly gaining new fans so they keep releasing music as BAP. Well, a girl can dream at least lol

    I’m sorry y’all.. I’m just sad and frustrated that this is their last comeback ever and they deserved better as a group and individually. While watching the documentary, I did hear the members say that this possibly is their last comeback but I was hoping that if they get enough success with this comeback, that they might do another one with Zelo. I was not prepared to see their pre-release called Farewell and their album called Curtain Call. It sounds so… final. Like this is really it. I can’t accept it.. And Yongguk said he will “find himself” after this comeback.. what does that even? He’s quitting music?? Honestly I’m not even excited anymore about this comeback
