B.A.P Voices Reunite On Jung Dae-hyun's New Album

Jung Dae-hyun’s new solo album is drawing attention before release because it quietly brings B.A.P voices back into the same song. The former B.A.P vocalist revealed through a highlight medley that Bang Yong-guk, Yoo Young-jae, Moon Jong-up, Choi Jun-hong, and Jung himself joined the chorus for the track “Name” on his second mini album “PUZZL(OV)E.”
The album is scheduled for release on June 30, but the most emotional news arrived early through Jung’s official social media and YouTube channels. For fans who have followed B.A.P through long gaps, unit activity, solo work, and uncertain reunion hopes, the detail is more than a production note. It is the first time the members have lent their voices to one of Jung’s solo albums.
A Hidden Collaboration Revealed In The Highlight Medley
The highlight medley previewed portions of four songs: “ONE,” “Nabiran,” “Name,” and “Desert Island.” It also included Jung explaining the background of each track, giving fans a clearer sense of the album’s emotional direction before the full release.
The surprise came when Jung disclosed that “Name” includes chorus participation from B.A.P members. Korean reports identified the lineup as Bang Yong-guk, Jung Dae-hyun, Yoo Young-jae, Moon Jong-up, and Choi Jun-hong. Because the information had not been widely publicized before the medley, the reveal turned a routine album teaser into a reunion moment.
Reports described the collaboration as the members’ first vocal participation on Jung’s solo album. They also noted that it marks a musical reunion roughly one year and six months after B.A.P-related activity in 2024, including the Christmas special album “Christmas With You.”
Jung said the song was made with fans in mind from the beginning. He explained that it carries the years he and the fans have spent together, and that the recording became possible from an idea by Bang Yong-guk, who was involved across the album as a producer, songwriter, and composer.
He also described the members as coming quickly when asked, making the recording process fun. That detail matters because the track is not being framed as a full group comeback. Instead, it is a smaller but intimate gesture, built around voices that longtime listeners immediately recognize.
Why “Name” Carries Extra Meaning For B.A.P Fans
B.A.P debuted in 2012 and became known for a forceful sound, intense performances, and songs such as “Crash,” “Stop It,” “One Shot,” and “No Mercy.” The group’s history included major global interest, long breaks, contract issues, and members eventually pursuing separate paths. Because of that history, even partial musical overlap can feel significant to fans.
Jung’s solo career has also carried its own stop-start rhythm. Related Korean interviews from recent years have described his return to music after a long gap, his uncertainty during periods away from the stage, and the support he received from fellow B.A.P members. Those details give the new collaboration a stronger emotional frame than a standard feature credit.
“Name” appears to lean into that shared history directly. MA Entertainment described the track as one made with gratitude and sincerity for fans who have stayed with Jung over many years. The label also emphasized that the B.A.P members’ participation gives the song unusual meaning because it is their first time adding voices to Jung’s solo album.
For international K-pop readers, the wording is important. This is not being presented as a sudden B.A.P comeback with promotions, music shows, or group branding. The news is narrower and more personal: the members are present inside a solo project, supporting a song that Jung created as a message to fans.
That restraint may be part of why the reaction is so warm. Fans often respond strongly to reunion hints, but “Name” does not ask them to imagine more than what has been confirmed. It gives them a real musical moment, grounded in a release date and a specific track, while leaving future group possibilities open.
Bang Yong-guk’s Role Links The Album Back To The Team
Bang Yong-guk’s involvement gives “PUZZL(OV)E” another connection to B.A.P’s musical identity. Reports stated that Bang participated in writing, composing, and producing across the album, and that the idea for the members’ chorus on “Name” began with him.
For Jung, that kind of collaboration is practical and symbolic at the same time. Bang has long been associated with B.A.P’s creative direction, and Korean interviews around Jung’s solo work have described the comfort of working with someone who understands his voice, musical color, and personal history.
The album title, stylized as “PUZZL(OV)E,” points to a broader concept around love. Reports said the record explores different pieces of that emotion, including longing, feelings that are hard to release, and the love that keeps people connected. Within that concept, “Name” seems positioned as the fan-centered piece of the puzzle.
That gives the album a clear narrative even before release. “ONE,” “Nabiran,” and “Desert Island” introduce the sound palette, while “Name” supplies the emotional headline. It is the song most likely to draw first listens from fans who are curious about the B.A.P voices, but it may also help new listeners understand why Jung’s fan relationship remains central to his solo work.
The June 30 release will show how the full song balances Jung’s lead vocal with the chorus contributions. If handled carefully, the arrangement could allow the members’ voices to feel like a memory returning around him rather than a crowded feature list.
A Small Reunion With A Clear Fan Message
K-pop reunion news often grows quickly because fans are trained to look for clues. A shared studio, a birthday post, or a brief mention can become speculation within hours. In this case, the strongest point is that the collaboration is already concrete: a named track, a confirmed album, and a release date.
That concreteness also protects the story from becoming only nostalgia. Jung is releasing his own second mini album, and the B.A.P members are supporting one part of that project. The focus remains on his current music while acknowledging the group history that shaped both his voice and his fandom.
For longtime fans, the emotional reward is obvious. Hearing the members together, even in chorus form, reconnects them to years of performances, releases, and waiting. For newer listeners, it offers a concise entry point into why B.A.P still carries weight among second and third generation K-pop followers.
“PUZZL(OV)E” will arrive on June 30 with expectations now centered on “Name.” Whether the track becomes a fan favorite or a wider discovery moment, its purpose is already clear. Jung Dae-hyun is using a solo album not to step away from his past, but to fold the people and fans who shaped it into the next chapter.
