Lim Jimin, Bain, Geonu, JM, DY, and Sangwoo collectively form the immensely talented group known as Just B. Emerging from the survival shows "Under Nineteen" and "I-LAND," the group made their debut in 2021 with the dynamic track "Damage" and have since released albums such as "Just Begun," "=(Neun)," and " ÷ (Nanugi)." Throughout their first North & South American Tour, "Just Be With You," Just B graciously took the time to sit down with us in Denver, reflecting on their career and sharing memorable moments from the tour.
Responses have been revised for clarity.
Q1: You all have experimented with different genres and styles for past releases, how does that influence your creative process?
Geonu: It helps us think more accurately, surely, and wisely when making choices about the music’s style and genre.
Q2. What has been a moment that you all are most proud of through the duration of your career so far?
Lim Jimin: The most proud moment of our career so far was being invited to the Tokyo MAMA award show. With the love and support from our fans, we were able to attend and perform at the show.
Q3. Which song do you all enjoy performing the most?
DY: The new song that we have been working on, “Daddy’s Girl” and the title track from our most recent album, “Medusa” are the two songs I enjoy performing the most.
Lim Jimin: I prefer “Domino” because the song gives everyone energy and they can feel the vibe from our singing. When I sing I can see all the fans enjoying the song.
JM: These days, it’s “Daddy’s Girl”, that’s my favorite song.
Bain: I think “Make it New”, it is so good.
Geonu: For me it’s “Daddy’s girl” because it is really fresh and it has really cute lyrics and I like the vibe.
Sangwoo: “Medusa”, that’s my favorite song.
Q4. Apart from JUST B's activities, is there a genre or something each member wants to try or learn?
Lim Jimin: I can’t decide on a specific one but I am very open minded. So if there are any chances to try new things I will take them. Everything
JM: Geonu and I are set to appear in a drama this April and we would truly love to get into acting and learn more about that field.
Geonu: There are many genres I would like to try, for now I want to go hard with the pop-punk & punk-rock genre. When I get to my 30s, I can try more lyrical songs with a deep mood and vibe like neo-r&b.
DY: Since my profession is an artist, I want to dive into learning more about instruments and producing. I want to focus on music, aside from my time with Just B, I want to try pursuing a solo career as well
Sangwoo: When it comes to learning, there are a lot of ways to learn. For me, I would like to not only learn 1-1 but find an environment that allows me to experience the different things people can offer me. That’s something I am looking forward to.
Bain: My goal is to not have any set categories or boundaries. For myself I would like to go beyond just being a single category artist.
Q5. You've already visited four places in the United States and Latin America, and Dallas is the fifth. This is Denver, which food left the most impression on you.
Geonu: Right before in Dallas, we tried Wattaburger and it was absolutely amazing. Actually I felt like the burgers were pretty good but the fries were really crazy. I would eat the fries all day.
Bain: We also tried baked bananas, they were not bad
Geonu: They had an interesting taste
Lim Jimin: I think pizza was my favorite
JM: Me too, pizza is so good
DY: Chicken wings. American chicken wings are a little different from Korean. My type is American style.
Sangwoo: For my personal taste, nothing can beat American French fries. The Korean French fries can’t even compete.
