The group, originally consisting of Yongguk, Himchan, Daehyun, Youngjae, Jong-up, and Zelo is best known for their 7 tenure as B.A.P (Korean: 비에이피; an acronym for Best Absolute Perfect), under TS Entertainment, debuting with the song "Warrior" in 2012.

[3] In 2024, the group officially reunited under the name Bang & Jung & Yoo & Moon to release their next album, Curtain Call in August.

[7] Himchan was the second member to be introduced to the public, as an MC for MTV Korea television program The Show.

[11] On January 25, the group's debut single "Warrior" was released, with MTV Korea describing it as "powerful and charismatic".

[12][13] Nancy Lee of Enews World noted that the group had set out to differentiate themselves from the "pretty-boy" male idol archetype prevalent in the K-pop music industry with their "tough, bad boy image".

Following promotions of "1004 (Angel)", the group commenced the B.A.P Live On Earth 2014 Continent Tour with a two-day concert in Seoul, with an estimated audience of 20,000 attendees.

The group went on to hold a total of 23 concerts in cities throughout the United States, Asia, Australia, and Europe during the tour.

On October 27, TS Entertainment announced that they had cancelled the South American portion of the concert tour, in order to give the group members time to rest.

[36] However, the following day, TS Entertainment issued a press release refuting the claims made, stating that there were "neither such maltreatment to the artists nor unfair clauses in the contract".

They made their comeback with their eighth EP, Matrix, and the title track "Young, Wild & Free".

Between April–July, B.A.P performed on their Live On Earth 2016 tour, including dates in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Italy, Finland, Germany, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., and Russia.

On October 25, 2016, TS Entertainment revealed that Yongguk will not be participating in the promotions for B.A.P's upcoming full-length album, Noir, due to anxiety disorders.

In November, B.A.P returned with their second studio album, Noir along with the music video for title song "Skydive".

[45] Noir included standout track "Confession", a duet by rappers Bang Yongguk and Zelo set to a symphonic chorus that directly addressed their feelings during the lawsuit and subsequent hiatus.

The lead track, "Wake Me Up", was recognized by Billboard's Jeff Benjamin as the group's "most personal and accomplished single yet".

On September 5, 2017, B.A.P released their seventh single album, Blue, with "Honeymoon" serving as the title track.

In 2018, members Yongguk and Zelo left the group after their contract with TS Entertainment expired on August 19 and December 2, respectively.

In the teaser, which included Bang Yong-guk, Moon Jong-up, Jung Dae-hyun and Yoo Young-jae, announced plans to reunite and release new music.

[2] On July 2, MA Entertainment confirmed former B.A.P members Bang Yongguk, Jung Daehyun, Yoo Youngjae, and Moon Jongup would be returning as a team.

[52] The album, Curtain Call, was released on August 8, with the group promoting under the name "Bang & Jung & Yoo & Moon.

"[53] On November 28, MA Entertainment announced that the group would return with a winter album called Christmas With You.
