말도 많고 탈도 많았던 MTV The show 첫방이 끝났네요! 막상하게 되니깐 너무 긴장을 많이 해서 떨었던거같네요 흐규흐규 슬프당 다음번엔 더욱 멋있게 Baby!
— Himchan (@BAP_Himchan) August 24, 2011
▶ Translation: “Though there were a lot of things being said and a lot of flaws, the first episode of MTV ‘The Show’ has ended! I think I was shaking because I got nervous as it began airing. Sobs sobs. It’s sad, but next time I will look very cool. Baby!”
Oh, Himchan… you don’t have to worry about looking cool or not. You’re always awesome in the eyes of Baby!

▶ Translation: “Halo! Hello. This is the 3rd and youngest member who was revealed in our digital single album [Never Give Up], Zelo. Twitter START!! It’s finally the beginning YO! Hehe”
This was when B.A.P was still in the making and process of getting ready to debut. So adorable! He was only 15 years old at the time!
5. Dae Hyun on January 15, 2012
B.A.P 대현입니다. 저도 트위터시작했어요.
— B.A.P대현 (@BAP_Daehyun) January 16, 2012
▶ Translation: “This is B.A.P’s Daehyun. I have also started Twitter.”
LOL You are so blunt, Dae Hyun! But it’s okay, it was only because you just debuted and weren’t used to Twitter!
6. Young Jae on January 18, 2012
안녕하세요!!! 영재입니다. 앞으로 잘 부탁드립니다. 하하~!
— BAP_Youngjae (@BAP_Youngjae) January 18, 2012

So short, yet so impressionable!
2NE1
1. Park Bom on June 16, 2010 (Old account: @harooluvstar)
Good morning???~~^^ 지금 일어났는데
난 어두운 곳이 좋아 요즘에 ㅡㅡ 않좋은건가?— Park Bom (@harooluvstar) June 17, 2010
▶ Translation: “Good morning???~~^^ I just woke up, but lately I’ve been enjoying dark places ㅡㅡ Is that a bad thing?”
Park Bom is so hilarious and cute, you can just tell by the way she types!!! And oh, no, Bommie… we love sleeping in, too!^^
2. Park Bom on October 30, 2011 (New & current account: @haroobomkum)
@Jhy0620 나 봄이야 ㅠㅠ 나 누군가 내 비밀번호랑 정보를 바꿔버렸어 ㅠㅠ 그래서 다시 시작해요 ㅠㅠ 엉엉
— Bom Park (@haroobomkum) October 30, 2011
▶ Translation: “@Jhy0620 This is Bomㅠㅠ Someone hacked my password and profile and changed it allㅠㅠ So that’s why I started a new oneㅠㅠ Sobs”
Oh, my… it looks like Park Bom had been hacked at the time. She even had to tweet one of her close acquaintances that she got a new account!
3. Minzy on January 17, 2011
@ljj82ok 아~~~어떻게 할줄 전혀모르겠어요~뭘 눌러야되고 ㅋㅋㅋ 아직 적응이 안되요 ㅠㅠ어려워ㅠㅠ
— Minzy (@mingkki21) January 17, 2011
▶ Translation: “@ljj82ok Ah~~~ I don’t get how to use this at all~ What am I supposed to click on? kekeke I’m not getting used to it yetㅠㅠ It’s hardㅠㅠ”
Hehehe, Minzy was so confused on how to use Twitter. Now she’s one of the most active K-Pop idols in the SNS world!
4. Dara on September 17, 2012
@MBLAQCD 바보 ㅋㅋ
— Sandara Park (@krungy21) September 17, 2012
▶ Translation: “@MBLAQCD You fool keke”
Sandara Park’s very first tweet was to her own brother, MBLAQ’s Chundoong (Thunder)! It’s great to see the brother-sisterly love, but… she just called her younger brother a fool! I’m sure she was just playfully joking~
5. CL on October 3, 2014
Testing…where ma gzbz and ma blackjackz attt
— CL (@chaelinCL) October 4, 2014
Welcome to Twitter, CL! Although it’s only been one month since she’s begun Twitter, her entrance into the tweeting universe was sassy, confident, and playful. Nolza!
Block B
1. B-Bomb on March 21, 2011
@BrandNewKyung 워썹!!
— B-Bomb (@BlockB2011) March 21, 2011
▶ Translation: “@BrandNewKyung Wassup!!”
B-Bomb’s first tweet was a nice little shout out to Kyung, whose account was originally @BrandNewKyung. Love seeing the member interaction!
2. Jaehyo on March 21, 2011
어려움..
— 안재효 (@blockbhyo) March 24, 2011
▶ Translation: “Difficult..”
I guess Jaehyo wasn’t having much fun with his first tweet because Twitter was too hard to use. :(
3. Zico on March 22, 2011
새안무 시작 ㅎ
— ZICO (@ZICO92) March 22, 2011
▶ Translation: “Start of new choreography heh.”
This tweet must have been posted as the Block B members were getting ready for debut, learning for a new choreography number! How exciting must this moment have been as a fan who was waiting for the group’s debut?
4. Tae Il on April 17, 2011
이태일트윗시작!!!
— 이태일 (@BB_taeil) April 17, 2011
▶ Translation: “Lee Tae Il starting to tweet!!!”
Look who’s excited to have started Twitter alongside his fellow members? LOL
5. Kyung on June 11, 2012
돌아오니깐 기다려준분들도 많구 기뻐해주는 분들도 많네요 우리 블락비 컴백할땐 진짜 멋있게나와서 더 기쁘게 해줄테니깐 최근 몇일처럼 계속 기다려줘요. 지금처럼 짠하구 나타날꺼니깐
— kyung park (@KYUNGPARK1992) June 11, 2012
▶ Translation: “After returning, there have been a lot of people who have waited for me and are happy that we’re back. We, Block B, will make a comeback in the utmost posture possible and will make you guys happy, so please just wait a little bit longer like you have for the past couple of days. We will surprise you and appear in front of you like ta-da.”
As previously mentioned, @BrandNewKyung used to be Park Kyung’s first personal account, however, we were not able to retrieve his first tweet on that profile. At least he was able to return to his fans with this new account!
6. U-Kwon on July 1, 2013
https://twitter.com/ondal44/status/351705815767465984
▶ Translation: “U-Kwon Twitter comeback. Has everyone been doing well?”
After a short hiatus, most likely from deactivating the account for a while, U-Kwon rejoined the Tweeting community to interact with his loving fans!
Stay tuned for our third batch of first tweets coming next week!
