Jason Edwards – Interviews
JUST B is a six‑member Korean boy group known for their intense performances, emotional storytelling, and a stage presence that feels both raw and polished. Since their debut, they’ve built a reputation for being artists who don’t simply perform songs — they live them. Their music often explores themes of growth, resilience, and identity, and their performances are marked by a sincerity that fans immediately recognize.
Over the past years, the group has steadily expanded their international presence. Europe, in particular, has become one of the regions where their connection with fans feels strongest. Their first European tour revealed how deeply Only B had been waiting for them, and the members often mention how European audiences bring a unique mix of passion, warmth, and explosive energy.
2026 has been a turning point for JUST B. With more time spent abroad than in Korea, the group has strengthened not only their bond with fans but also their unity as artists. From Tokyo stages to European festivals, they’ve grown together — not just as performers, but as individuals discovering new cultures, new emotions, and new ways of expressing themselves.
Their return to Paris this summer wasn’t just another stop on a tour. For some members, Paris carries personal memories; for others, it represents the kind of artistic atmosphere that inspires them. And for all of them, the city is tied to the unforgettable cheers of European Only B — the kind of sound that stays with an artist long after the lights go down.
When the opportunity arose to secure an exclusive interview with the group, I didn’t hesitate — it was the perfect moment to capture their story from a European perspective. This exclusive interview, conducted digitally on July 16th shortly after the members returned to Korea, captures JUST B at a moment where they are evolving, traveling, and connecting more than ever. Through their words, you can feel not only their gratitude but also their determination to keep growing and to bring even better music to fans around the world.
1. What did you want to show fans at this festival?
Bain: “More than anything, I wanted people to leave feeling something real… If someone walked away feeling more fearless, more seen, or simply happier than when they arrived, then we've done what we came here to do.”
Sangwoo: “I wanted to show fans our song ‘F.F’.”
2. 🌍 Is there something unique about European fans’ reactions?
Bain: “European fans completely immerse themselves in the performance… The entire crowd suddenly explodes with energy. We never take that connection for granted.”
Siwoo: “European fans love football, so their energy feels like a heated football match. You can feel it through your whole body.”
3. ✈️ What was the most meaningful moment while preparing the tour and the July 2026 festival?
Doyum: “I’m grateful that the culture of enjoying JUST B’s performances together has formed.”
Sangwoo: “Performing on stage is always meaningful to me.”
Siwoo: “In 2026, we spent more time abroad than in Korea. The most meaningful moments always come from Only B’s endless love. Their warm words and huge energy remind me why I feel happiest on stage.”
4. 🗼 What does Paris mean to each member?
Doyum: “Paris fans are passionate. Their chants are the best.”
Bain: “My first time in Paris was for my solo concert… Coming back with my members feels like seeing the city through a new perspective.”
Sangwoo: “I remember Paris as a passionate city.”
Siwoo: “Paris reminds me of its landmarks… and Only B, of course. During our last tour, I watched a PSG match. Comparing that energy to our concert made me think: ‘If I were a football player scoring a goal, this is the roar I would hear.’ Paris will stay in my memory as Only B’s powerful cheers.”
5. 💙 A message for European fans + future plans
