[Kim Hyejin Intern Reporter] In the midst of the confirmation of dating between BEAST’s Yong Junhyung and KARA’s Goo Hara, Yong Junhyung’s past twitter post has attracted attention.

On April 29th, Yong Junhyung wrote the words, “I’m gaining strength from one call,” through his twitter. To this FT Island’s Lee Hongki commented, “Is it me? Is it me? I just called you too! It better be me.” Afterwards, Yong Junhyung replied after Hongki, “Of course it is Hong..Hongki,” and even added a hesitant laugh with “heoheoheo hahaha You already know who it is.”

In addition Lee Hongki wrote, “Yah I’m embarrassed!” and Yong Junhyung wrote back, “Of course Hongki’s phone calls are encouraging gives me a lot of strength, but before you called me…. I will just stop here.”

Then, BEAST fans curiously commented, “Didn’t Yong Junhyung get a girl friend?” however it had died down with time. But then on June 28th, the scandal with Goo Hara had occurred.

The fans commented, “Wasn’t Goo Hara the person Yong Junhyung talked too?” and “Does that mean Lee Hongki knew of their relationship before?” showing interest on the couple.

[NEWS] BEAST’s Yong Junhyung, Eluphant’s voluntary promotion…they express their affection

Eluphant and BEAST member Yong Junhyung’s friendship is becoming a topic.

After Eluphant released his digital single ‘She Is Not Following you,’ Yong Junhyung tweeted “I just came home after listening to Eluphant’s new single. For people who use twitter, the contents may seem familiar, but it’s above and beyond.” By doing so, he increased anticipation and expectations and promoted the song.

Yong Junhyung, whom we recently met, spoke of their unique bond. “Before debuting, starting from age 20, I was on good terms with Eluphant’s Kebee hyung. BEAST’s current choreography was made possible through him. At that time, I was conned by entertainment company problems and other issues, but Kebee hyung gave me lots of strength and stood by me. He advised me that reading a lot of books is advantageous for writing raps, and even recommended me some poems. It gives me thoughts that he is an elite rapper with great sensibility.”

“After hearing the songs that the hyungs played for me, I immediately uploaded tweets about it on my account. The track was really good. Because we were busy, we weren’t able to see each other often, but even now, we monitor each other and share opinions. To me, he is a hyung that I am always grateful for.” With this, he expressed his affection.

Son IlRak's Cyworld Update @beastdw

You guys are shoulder-to-shoulder~

I have one strange habit.
The habit is that whenever I listen to or sing along to the kid songs I used to learn, the ends of my nose tingle, and my heart feels clenched.

I don't know the reason why.
I just know that that it might be related to the fact that I had an unsafe childhood because I had to move my grade school six times due to my father's job.

Whenever I think back to those days, I see myself not getting along with friends, and standing blankly at the corner of the gym~~~
So my heart aches from the loneliness and the emptiness of those memories.

That is right.
On that day, at that moment, there might have been a child standing all alone craving for a shoulder to shoulder with someone.

What song is it you ask?
It's a children song that starts out like this.^^

Let's go matching our feets, let's move forward with our shoulders against each other, let's go forward~~~
It's the .

Today, BEAST was able to win the title of winning first place for three weeks in a row on Music Bank.
And as they sang their encore song, they got together in a circle and came together shoulder to shoulder.
The moment I saw that, my heart clenched.

Oh my, will there be a more beautiful sight than this?
This is ~
No, in general the shoulder to shoulder is ~
This might have been the moving force that BEAST was able to gain a better grade than expected.

Even though I'm changing stories, one time I heard this one radio DJ say this.
For soccer or baseball team that has never won, strangly they all have a similarity.

It is that for these teams, the members are more concerned about their own personal grade and performance rather than the dream or the winning goal of the team.

After hearing this story I couldn't help but to nod my head.
That is true.
The power of the shoulder to shoulder is really great.

Everyone, do you remember the book I introduced in my book ?

The author of the book said this right?
That you couldn't go anywhere by yourself.
Also, Helen Keller said this.
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

I request this for BEAST.
"Let's go matching our feets, let's move forward with our shoulders against each other, let's go all the way~~~~~~~~~~~~~ forward"

In addition~~~
Looking at the posts up on twitter, there are many who are joining their shoulder to shoulder as well. ^^ You can't forget the best b2uties as well right?^^

@BeeeestDJ: @B2stGK Congrats Lee Kikwang goon. It feels like it was yesterday that I danced behind you with passion in my eyes but it is already 800 days..I'm proud of you kid

[CAFE] PLAYB2ST's DAILY OF B2ST - BEAST giving support to B2UTYs!

Hello.
This is the administrator of BEAST's fanclub.

Today's Inkigayo was the last of BEAST's promotions for their first official album.
It seems like only yesterday they made their comeback, but a month has already passed. ㅠ_ㅠ
It really is too bad that it ended so soon ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

To commemorate BEAST's last broadcast, BEAST's 'When This Door Opens' the visual team (Yoon Doojoon and Song Dongwoon)
Personally prepared a small(?) support, which they've only ever received, for fans who came to cheer for BEAST
In the hot weather~

The two members put their heads together saying they'd prepare drinks to help cool you guys off,
Saying they'd make their own stickers to put on the drinks!
Thus the drinks with stickers on them were born through their idea. They must have done this when they were younger. ^0^

Yesterday, Music Core, Love Request, even radio! After finishing all their schedules, thinking about how they returned to the dorm late and the visual team stayed up to stick on stickers on each can one by one makes me feel so touched~

Just in case you can't see the writing, here is a picture of the sticker!

Sticker 1 - (bubble: B2UTYs, you guys feel hot right?) BEAST's visual team B2UTY support ¥ It's on YoonLeader¥

Sticker 2 - (bubble: Oh Today it's on oh oh us oh) BEAST's visual team B2UTY support ¥ Songod's sudden attack¥

Because there were so many and they ran out of time yesterday,
On the day of, before pre-recording and right before the broadcast time, them putting on stickers!

Seeing their urgently working hands, Yoseob starts helping alongside them!

Doojoon's finished work proof picture!

A proof picture for Dongwoon too!

Last winter, after heating pad support at Music Bank, a drink support this summer!

Some people asked, "Didn't Doojoon and Dongwoon's fans prepare this?!" but -
Starting from the plan(?) of giving out drinks to the fans
To the sticker production idea and text ideas and even the payments...kekekekekekeke All of it was done by these two members!
One can, one can, each can was handled by the two members~

Even though they got warm on the way...I hope their hearts helped cool you down.
(I'm thinking a lot of fans didn't drink it and are just keeping it. ^-^;

All you B2UTYs who came to support them even on their last broadcast! Thank you so much~
BEAST is planning to come back cooler than ever so,
Don't cheat on them and wait just a bit!

Right after pre-recording "On Rainy Days", with his hair still wet
Yoseob making an emotional face and taking a picture with the bunny he received as a gift.

5 grown men gathered around playing a game of gonggi*...kekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke

[NEWS] BEAST Yang Yoseob, “I objected the guerrilla concert in Japan” Why?

Idol group BEAST’s member Yang Yoseob stated “At first, I objected the guerrilla concert held in Japan on the 14th.”

On the afternoon of the 17th at a hotel restaurant in Yeoeuido, Seoul, Yang Yoseob met with enews and surprised us with this story. When we asked why, he answered “Truthfully, I had no confidence. (BEAST) is growing a lot right now, if we failed the guerrilla concert, it would have made a big impact mentally.”

Yang Yoseob said “When we first arrived at the airport in Japan, there were exactly 5 fans” and “After seeing this I thought ‘All activities were done very secretively,’”

He said “Truthfully I vaguely trusted that ‘someone in the company must have secretly posted an announcement about this.’ And I felt even more nervous.” And “I was worried that, what if we couldn’t even get a response right before the performance.”
However, on this day at Shinjuku station, around 5000 people came to watch BEAST’s guerrilla concert and the performance ended successfully. As BEAST started singing “Bad Girl” the fans started singing along to the song, the place resembling a BEAST concert.

Yang Yoseob said “I only started to relax after I saw people gathering. I was so thankful to the Japanese fans who came to watch the sudden concert” and “I think I gained more confidence for the Japanese promotions and tour performances through this performance” he stated with energy.
Meanwhile, BEAST ends their promotions for their first official album “Fiction and Fact” on the 19th on SBS “Inkigayo”. They have achieved triple crown on both cable channel Mnet ‘M!Countdown’ and KBS ‘Music Bank’, and have received many positive reponses, placing high on many online mp3 charts during their promotion period.
They plan on going to Japan on the 20th to promote ‘Bad Girl’ on site and then move on to their Asia tour and Japan tour after.

[NEWS] BEAST, "Too early to compare us to Big Bang and 2PM" !

Group BEAST had shaken their heads in a comparison with idol groups Big Bang and 2PM as their competitors.

On the 17th, BEAST had met with the reporters in Seoul Yeido and reveled their thoughts on finishing the ‘Fiction and Fact’ promotions they stated, “We were really happy these days thinking back through the years, since debut, if we ever received this much amount of love.”

BEAST, who will be heading to Japan for oversea promotions with the end on the 19th with SBS ‘Inkigayo’, had gained the title “Fad of the Music Industry” with the release of their first official album.

However, BEAST members replied, “Many people compare us to Big Bang and 2PM saying that we are at our highest points as well, but even though that feels good, we are scared of those words. Honestly, we think that it is too early for us to listen to those compliments.”

They added modestly, “If we already reached our highest points, doesn’t that mean that we only have time before we start falling? We still believe that we have a long way to go. In a thought of starting again, we will try our best. There are still a lot of things we need to accomplish.”

From BEAST’s first official album containing 10 songs, the title song ‘Fiction’ as well as ‘On Rainy Days’ had gained much popularity.

According to the GAON charts that measures the sales of albums in Korea, BEAST had sold a total of 90,000 albums in a month from May which got their the first place in monthly music charts. Also, they had placed first mixed with triple crowns on Mnet ‘M countdown’, KBS 2TV ‘Music Bank’, and SBS ‘Inkigayo’, concluding with 8 trophies in total.

For them who had completed their first album promotion successfully, they will be heading to Japan on the 20th and will open their doors for their Asia Tour. After their Japan promotions, they will be traveling and having fan meetings in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, China, and more.

According to their management, “The fan meeting were made from the hotly request from the fans in various parts of Asia. This can be interpreted as the foundation for the Asia Concert Tour.”

BEAST plans to meet with the fans in Korea once again on August 14th through the Cube Family Concert, ‘United Cube Concert’, opening at Seoul Jamsil Gymnasium.

[NEWS] BEAST No. 1 sweeper "Here we come Asia" !

[QUOTE]

데 뷔 1년 8개월. 비스트는 그동안 4장의 미니앨범과 1장의 정규 앨범을 발매하며 대한민국 남성 아이돌 그룹의 명맥을 이었다. 정규 1집 'Fiction and Fact'(픽션 앤 팩트)는 9만 장(한터정보시스템 집계)장이 판매됐으며 타이틀 곡 'Fiction'(픽션)은 각 방송사 음악 프로그램 1위를 차지했다.


앨범 활동을 마무리하고 21일 일본으로 출국, 본격적인 활동에 돌입하는 비스트를 17일 정오 서울 영등포구 여의도 메리어트호텔에서 만났다. KBS 2TV <뮤직뱅크> 마지막 방송을 앞둔 비스트는 기자들과 만나 1개월간의 짧은 활동에 대해 털어놨다.


"후크송 아닌 'Fiction', 인기 끌까 조마조마 했죠"


이 기광은 "날씨가 더워지는 상황에서 서정적인 느낌의 'Fiction'으로 활동하는 것이 걱정스러울 때도 있었다"며 "그럼에도 많은 분이 사랑해줘 감사하다"고 운을 뗐다. 비스트는 2009년 10월 'Bad Girl'(배드걸)을 시작으로 'SHOCK'(쇼크), '숨', 'Beautiful'(뷰티풀)까지 점차 발전해 왔다. 팬클럽 뷰티는 20만 명으로 추산되고 있다. 비스트는 "그동안 팬이 많이 늘었다고는 하지만 이번 활동을 통해 '좀 더 대중적인 사랑을 받고 있구나'를 느꼈다"고 털어놨다.


비스 트의 정규 1집에는 멤버 용준형의 자작곡도 수록됐다. 5번째 트랙인 'Freeze'(프리즈)는 용준형이 꾸준히 작곡 공부를 한 결과물이다. 과거 앨범 수록곡 랩 메이킹을 직접 했던 용준형은 "래퍼인데 남이 써 주는 가사로 랩을 하기엔 자존심이 상했다"며 "언더그라운드에서 활동하는 분들과 친분을 맺게 되며 더욱 (랩에) 신경을 쓰게 됐다"고 전했다. 용준형은 "멤버들이 개인 활동을 하는 동안 나는 밤낮없이 녹음실에서 곡 작업을 했다"며 "이번 앨범에서 그동안의 성과를 보여주게 돼 무엇보다 뿌듯하다"고 했다.


정규 1집 자작곡 수록, 아이돌 고정관념 벗다


" 처음에 이 곡을 사장님(소속사 큐브엔터테인먼트 홍승성 대표)에게 들려 드렸을 때, '이게 뭐냐'는 반응을 보이셨어요. 당황했죠. 나중에 신사동호랭이 형이 '난 매번 이런 반응과 맞닥뜨린다'며 '풀이 죽거나 당황하면 안 된다'고 하더라고요. 제 곡이 앨범에 실리기로 결정된 뒤, 녹음할 때 제가 직접 디렉팅을 맡았어요. 멤버들에게 주문하기가 쉽진 않았는데 오히려 '신경 쓰지 말고 편하게 하라'고 하더라고요. 그래서 편해졌죠."


용준형은 함께 작업하고 싶은 가수로 FT아일랜드 이홍기를 꼽았다. 자신의 색깔에 밴드 음악을 접목해 보고 싶다고 했다. 용준형은 슈퍼주니어 김희철, 슈프림팀 사이먼디(쌈디), FT아일랜드 이홍기, 최종훈 등과 함께 친목모임 '쪼꼬볼'을 결성하기도 한 사이다.


비스트의 수익 분배 원칙은 '여섯이 똑같이'이지만 용준형의 저작권료는 별도다. 그는 "매달 통장에 들어오는 돈이 다르다"며 "부모님께 맡겨 돈을 차곡차곡 모으고 있다. 처음엔 내 녹음실이 갖고 싶었지만 돈을 모아 부모님께 집을 사 드릴 계획이다"고 밝혔다. 막내 손동운 또한 "아버지 차를 바꿔 드릴 예정"이라고 미소지었다.


손동운은 "바쁘게 활동하느라 힘들 때도 있었지만 매 순간 '가수가 되길 잘했다'고 생각한다"며 "1주일 정도 휴가가 주어진다면 여행차 제주도에서 휴식을 취하고 싶다"고 했다.


'비스트 하면 이 노래!' 대중적 대표곡 만드는 게 목표


뮤 지컬 <광화문 연가>, KBS 2TV <자유선언 토요일>의 <불후의 명곡2-전설을 노래하다>에 출연했던 리드보컬 양요섭은 폭넓은 팬층을 얻게 됐다고 했다. 팬사인회 행사에 가면 10살 초등학생부터 어머니팬까지 다양하다고.


양 요섭은 "다른 노래를 편곡해 부른 것은 <불후의 명곡2>가 처음이었다"며 "(탈락해 불이 꺼지면) 어둠 속에서 참담했지만 심수봉, 부활 선배님에게 수업을 받는 것 같아 좋았다"고 말했다. 멤버들은 "설령 <불후의 명곡2>에서 꼴찌라고 해도 쟁쟁한 아이돌 가수 중 6등 아니냐"며 "나라면 못했을 것"이라고 혀를 내둘렀다.


비스트는 다음 주 일본으로 건너가 후지TV 'HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP'(헤이 헤이 헤이 뮤직 챔프) 등 음악 프로그램에 출연한다. 아사히TV '뮤직 스테이션' 출연도 조율 중이다. 오는 8월에는 포미닛, 지나 등 소속사 식구들과 함께 'UNITED CUBE'(유나이티드 큐브) 공연을 연다. 시트콤, 드라마에 출연하기도 했던 이기광은 솔로 앨범 등 개인 활동 계획에 대해 "아직은 여섯 명의 비스트가 좋다"며 "앞으로는 모르겠지만 지금은 팀 활동에 전념할 것"이라고 했다.


마지막으로 비스트는 "우리 노래, 춤 등이 따라하기 쉽지 않다는 것을 잘 안다"며 "대중적인 대표곡을 갖는 것이 목표"라고고 덧붙였다.


한편 소속사 관계자는 <오마이뉴스>에 "일본, 싱가포르 등 아시아에서도 비스트 및 '유나이티드 큐브' 콘서트를 열 계획이지만 영국, 브라질 등에서도 요청이 들어오고 있다"며 "긍정적으로 검토 중"이라고 덧붙였다.

I am determined to get my songs on the album, so the recordings, I’ve been doing my own directing. I don’t want the other members to bother me so I told them ‘Don’t bother me, I want some peace’. And so I got that peace."

[News] Lee Kikwang “Does BEAST get jealous of the different popularity levels between members?”

BEAST has risen as one of the best male idol groups through their first official album “Fiction&Fact”. They swept 1st place on cable and public broadcasting music shows, achieving triple crowns. They have also been receiving many love calls from variety shows.

The individual members’ activities are that pronounced. Lee Kikwang is an MC on KBS2TV “WinWin” while Yoon Doojoon is an actor in MBC “All My Love”. Yang Yoseob as the team’s lead vocal, showed off his vocals in KBS 2TV “Freedom Declaration – Immortal Classics 2”

Since each member has prominent individual activities, there can only be a division between the more popular members and less popular members. With this, there are suspicions of awkwardness and conflict between members. If you follow the unconfirmed rumours, in one idol group, there are conflicts within the group because of popularity level differences.

However BEAST was wise. Before any conflicts came up, they resolved things through conversation. Lee Kikwang said “As BEAST gets more popular, there are more individual member activities and I believe there can be members who are more popular and less popular. Because we are human, I feel that we can get jealous and upset because of this. So, beforehand, we decided ‘Let’s not get jealous, upset or fight because of popularity difference.” You cannot help but think that, for male idols who are in their early 20s, they’re very thoughtful.

In real life, BEAST prevents conflicts and shares ideas through many conversations. Because of this, they can only have close relationships with each other. Through this they have good team work and have successfully gained a lot of popularity.


BEAST is now concluding their promotions in Korea and is planning to promote in Japan.
