B.A.P
B.A.P (an acronym for Best Absolute Perfect) was a South Korean boy group formed in 2012 under TS Entertainment. B.A.P made their musical debut with the single "Warrior" on January 26, 2012, followed by the release of their debut EP Warrior in February 2012. In March 2017, B.A.P released their sixth single album, Rose. Yongguk returned from his four-month hiatus to join the rest of the group for promotions. The lead track, "Wake Me Up", was recognized by Billboard's Jeff Benjamin as the group's "most personal and accomplished single yet". The EP focused on social issues, with the "Wake Me Up" music video addressing mental health issues, whilst the first track "Dystopia" directly attacked the idea of living in any so-called utopias, disregarding them all as illusions. In 2018, members Yongguk and Zelo left the group after their contract with TS Entertainment expired. On February 18, 2019 the remaining four members also left TS Entertainment.
