Circling back to the album, Bang Yong Guk talked about how B.A.P truly enjoys each other’s company. He talked about how the six of them went on a trip before and held meaningful discussions. The leader explained that being in the company of good people and spending a good time with one another can feel like a carnival. It’s not because they went somewhere, but rather because they were together. Hence the reason in selecting “Carnival” as the name of their new mini-album.

Then Soompi got a chance to ask the members to greet Soompiers through Periscope. Follow us on Periscope if you haven’t already to catch exclusive live videos!
