If you are new to K-pop, or just need to freshen up on your skills for their comeback, there are a few things you need to know about B.A.P, a K-Pop boy group consisting of six members: Yongguk, Himchan, Daehyun, Youngjae, Jongup and Zelo. Their first debut was January 26, 2012 by TS Entertainment, and now they made their comeback with the release of their new single album, Rose, on Mar. 7. So, are you ready to become a Baby?

1. Learning member's names

The first thing you need to know about are the members, of course!

Yongguk is the main rapper and leader. His full name is Bang Yong Guk, and is the "mother" of the group.

Himchan, or Kim Him Chan, is the sub-vocalist, rapper and visuals. Born April 19, 1990, he had only one and a half years of trainee time.

Daehyun, born June 28, 1993, as Jung Daehyun. He is the main vocalist and the face of the group.

Born January 24, 1994, Youngjae (or Yoo Young Jae) is the lead vocalist. He had one year trainee time at JYP before transferring to TS when his debut didn't seem any time soon, spending four years in training there.

Jongup, whose full name is Moon Jongup, is known as the awkward one of the group. He is the main dancer and a vocalist.

The youngest is Zelo whose full name is Choi Jun Hang. Heis the lead rapper, lead dancer and maknae. He had a trainee time of six years and likes fans to call him "oppa."

2. Merch, merch, merch!

Here’s your excuse to buy some cool K-Pop accessories. A t-shirt with the group’s name on it or bracelets showing your devotion are good ways to show your loyalty to the group and fall back into the B.A.P feel. When you sport you memorabilia, people will know you're a fan, and it might help you find others interested in K-Pop.

3. Introduce them to your friends!

You know those Korean guys you keep trying to get your friends to listen to? Now is your chance to show your friends how cool they are and convert them into the K-Pop fandom. A comeback is when you are becoming reacquainted to B.A.P, which is the perfect time to introduce them to your friends. You can learn about them, and fall in love with their new album together.

4. Familiarize yourself with their album

Chances are with their comeback, your favorite group is finally touring the U.S. with a whole album’s worth of songs to listen to. So it’s important to make sure you listen to them all in time for the concert. This way you can sing along (or at least try to) during the live performances. This is something you can do with your K-Pop loving friends, or take it as an excuse to make your other friends listen to them.

5. English subtitles and romanization

So you heard the songs, you’ve picked your favorite, now all you need to know is what it means. Understanding what a song is about beforehand will help you to follow along later when you’re at the concert rocking out, and nd it never hurts to learn the chorus of your favorite song with some easy to follow romanizations of the Korean lyrics. You can find romanized lyrics on YouTube or lyric websites.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
