The press conference for KBS 1TV's 'K-Pop Merge Paths with Traditional Music' took place at the KBS annex building in Yeoido on February 21. �At the press conference, it was revealed that there would be a collaboration stage with B1A4 and Song So Hee, who is currently garnering a lot of fame for being so young yet so talented in the traditional Korean style of singing called pansori. �B.A.P will also take part in this program.
The production team said, "We chose B1A4 because they are a trending idol group while one B.A.P member specialized in traditional Korean music. �We tried to stay professional in that way." �It appears they are talking about B.A.P's Himchan, who had attended the National School of Traditional Music. �

Song So Hee said, "I am shy around strangers, but they thoughtfully took care of me so that it was comfortable during practice. �I was happy that B1A4 would be my first collaborator." �She then chose B.A.P as another idol group with whom she wanted to collaborate, "They say that there is one person in B.A.P who specialized in traditional Korean music, so I want to try a duo with him. �I think it would be refreshing."
B1A4's Jinyoung and CNU were also present at the press conference. �Regarding this collaboration, they said, "We saw her a lot in CFs. �We thought she was really pretty, so we wanted to meet her; if anything, we feel more honored. �Truthfully, it was a bit awkward at first. �She seemed really averse to being around strangers. �We will talk more and then have a fun performance."
This program will combine the two unique musical styles of Korea, K-Pop and traditional music. �It will be a very fascinating and interesting merging indeed! �Make sure to check it out on March 2.
