Bol4 ahn jiyoung interview about latest single, workaholic ~ BeritaSeo

Ahn Jiyoung, the vocalist of Bol4, said in her latest magazine interview to the reporter: I think 25 is an vague age, where I'm not young nor old by society standard. My friend, one by one is graduated from college and now try to find a job or preparing themselves to the real world. So that makes me to think it's an age where I need to try new music, a phase that I should go and experience. I made an album with the idea that it's okay if you only know half about the world and not knowing all could be a blessing. And even if the time now is hard, it will pass. There will be a moment <for you> to shine. 

However, people begin to criticize "the self-replicating", because of the repeating or similar musical styles that bol4 has done before this past years. Yet, in this comeback, Bol4 has significantly change in this album. Breaking away from traditional acoustic pops, the music spectrum has been expanded to include rock, hip-hop and electronic sound. The outfit of tem who previously more girly-ish, is now also more sophisticated and looks mature. Ahn jiyoung who had her hair always blonde, is now changed to more fragrant color, the mint one.

The new attempt was made not only because of the talks of self-replicating sound / similar music style, but rather the urge to simply want a change as a musician. Ahn Jiyoung said that she want it to be new and more fun for the fans. The fans might be flustered with this current change from her lates song, "workaholic". Some people might be surprised and say, "Is this bol4's music?" I think it will be an opportunity for us to decide our musical path, according to how well the public will accept this album.


Woo Jiyoon said that the album two five, more than just to remember being 25 years old, it also indicated the change of their own music. The second chapter for their five stories. The album describe the changes of Bol4's music to a new chapter.

The title song "Workaholic" is a message to tired workers/employee. It's also the story of Bol4 who hold on to music tightly. Unlike previous bright and cute songs, Ahn Jiyoung voice deepens above the heavy beat and rich sound. Ahn jiyoung said This time I got a grip on it a lot. She said it's my new way, that I used to do while at home, but when I look in the mirror, my face looks crumbly and crumbly. I wanted to convey a message to those who love to work and passionate about what they love to do today, to never be frustrated with reality, as hard as it will get, it will pass.

It's always a burden to release new album. It's half exciting, half nervious and worried at the same time. This time, it's more meaningful because it capture the story of us, the change of bol4. If the people who listened to this song can gain strength and feel like it, I think we could be satisfied with just that. We hope that our song can go together with the current youth feeling, so when people look back later on about their youth, Bol4 might be a part of their life.
