From the same entertainment agency as the popular girl group Secret comes B.A.P. In fact, they've been dubbed the "male Secret" before their debut.

B.A.P stands for "Best", "Absolute", and "Perfect", and those are the three traits that the large-sized group strives for. Three of the members (Bang Yong-gook, Zelo, and Him-chan) were unveiled to the public as hosts of a TV show. In fact, Bang had debuted previously as a solo singer, and then as a unit group with Zelo in Bang Yong-gook & Zelo. Thus they already had quite a following even before the rest of the members were announced.

At the group's debut showcase, 3,000 fans showed up with about 300 of them estimated to have been from overseas. This was at the same venue that top stars like Kim Hyun-joong, Epik High, and Jay Park held their showcases at. Not too shabby for rookie stars.

The group's debut song "Warrior" fared well on various music charts, and their music video was the number one most searched item on all major portal sites in real time. They were also predicted to be the best rookie group of the year!
