9 November:
TS Entertainment has revealed to allkpop that Bang Yong Gook will be making a comeback through a unit group!
The rapper, who’s already built a solid fanbase after releasing “I Remember” with B2ST‘s Yoseob and “Going Crazy“ with SECRET‘s Song Ji Eun, will be starting promotions soon with an unnamed member of his yet-to-debut group. It will not be with fellow member Kim Himchan (21), who is currently MCing MTV’s ‘The Show‘.
So far, no information has been revealed about this third member in his group except that he’ll be the youngest of the three. Bang Yong Gook hinted to fans earlier that he was working on a fun new project directed especially to his student fans, but again, he was mum about revealing details. Whatever he’s scheming, expectations are high and fans are eagerly anticipating his comeback.
In the past, solo artists would join idol groups after establishing their own name, like in the case with B2ST‘s Lee Kikwang who debuted as a solo artist under the stage name ‘AJ‘ before joining B2ST. There are very few instances where members would promote as a unit before debuting with an entire group.

Bang Yong Gook tweeted a photo of the two from backstage, “Host Him Chan, who has just finished his first recording of ‘The Show’, I want to commend you! And next to Hyosung as well! They say that being jealous is the same as losing, but I am! Hyosung, I’ll do my best too! Still we have to stick together.”
Fans commented, “Your cuteness is surprising, complete cutie,” “Wow, you two are so handsome, whose sons are you,” and “I want to see TS Entertainment’s 5-member boy band soon, fighting!”
A lot of fans are interested in Him Chan in particular, as he’s rumored to be an “ulzzang” at his high school, which specializes in classical Korean music. Him Chan and Bang Yong Gook are preparing for their debut with three other yet-to-be-named group members next year. They share the same agency (TS Entertainment) as popular girl group SECRET.

18 April:
Contrary to the intense stalker image he donned for “Going Crazy“, Bang Yong Guk showed off a picture that looks a lot more cute and playful.
Through his fancafe, he wrote, “I’m rehearsing again after concluding our ‘Going Crazy’ promotions. Thank you so much to everyone for supporting me during our activities.”
Netizens commented, “Cutie pie”, “Comeback please”, “I want him as my little brother”, and “Let’s have coffee together!”
16 Maret:
After “Going Crazy” was released on March 3rd, the rapper has been requested for multiple broadcast appearances, as representatives expressed interest in his handsome looks and professional stage performances.
His agency, TS Entertainment, stated, “He’s still a trainee so he’s not set to appear in broadcasts other than for ‘Going Crazy’ promotions. However, thank you for giving your support to a new singer“.
The rookie is currently a trainee under TS Entertainment, and is priming to debut later on this year.
Ji Eun’s guest rapper, Bang Yong Guk, has turned quite a few heads ever since he first appeared on stage with her for “Going Crazy“. Ever since then, he’s risen as a top ‘rookie to look out for’, especially because his resume boasts extensive underground experience.
Currently, he’s a trainee under TS Entertainment, but before that, he was part of the esteemed Soul Connection crew in 2008 and had toured with his crewmates nationwide.
When told of his increasing popularity, he shyly laughed and stated, “There are so many people more amazing than me, I’m a bit embarrassed that people have taken an interest. I think that the fans probably felt a sort of freshness in the fact that my husky voice didn’t really match my face.”
Turning to his experience, Bang Yong Guk revealed, “I began performing in Hongdae clubs when I was in my third year of junior high. By the time I was 21 years old, I had performed about 200 times; I gained a lot of experience through that. Now I’m working on writing my own raps, and although my composing skills aren’t up to par yet, I’ve been making my own raps and melodies for a while (laughter).”
Bang Yong Guk actually wrote the haunting rap lyrics for “Going Crazy” himself, and revealed how he came up with them: “I watched a lot of movies and read books on stalking about a month before the song’s release in order to come up with the lyrics. I think I’ve seen nearly all of the movies out there about stalking.”
Bang Yong Guk stated, “I began with the name ‘Jepp Blackman.’ I wanted a name that gave a strong vibe and never once used my real name in my work. Through this opportunity, I thought I’d give my name a try and I’m quite satisfied with it (laughter).”
He continued, “Now that people know me by my real name, I’ve been reminded of the hardships I faced during my younger years. I feel really affectionate towards the name, and as it is pretty unique, I’m glad that people are able to remember it more easily.”
When asked about his plans for his future, he stated, “I’m currently preparing to debut as a five member group. Our debut date isn’t set in stone yet, but luckily I received the opportunity to start promoting first, so I’m going to try my best. I’ll make sure to learn everything I can through this opportunity and pass it on to my members. Instead of focusing on gaining headlines, I think it’s more important to just try my best and work hard (laughter).”
