BEAST's Son Dongwoon's father releases book titled, "A Letter to My Son"



QUOTE
Professor Son Ilrak, who is the father of the idol group BEAST’s Son Dongwoon, had released a book titled, “A Letter to My Son.”

In a recent interview with one company, Professor Son Ilrak revealed, “I released a book as the letter I’m sending to Dongwoon. I included information on the compatibility of the members and ways to live life.”

Through the prologue Professor Son stated the reason for writing this book, “This book is about the true thoughts of a parent who is looking at their child who became a star living off their image. There are a lot of parents with stories about sending the child they raised with love into the society. Thinking that I didn’t scold him (Son Dongwoon) enough, I decided to gather up courage and say them.”

Professor Son also added his fatherly words, “The reason I support and cheer for someone doesn’t have to be because of the reason that they are my child. Also, it doesn’t have to do with the fact that that they are in the group my son is in with such great talents and skills. But, it has to do with the fact that the friends he has are the strong bunch of guys who endured from failures and troubles.”

Meanwhile, Son Dongwoon is busily going through his schedules preparing for BEAST’s follow up activities.

If all of your classmates were trapped in a cage and about to die under the hands of Mojojojo - while you can only get save of ONE of them out , who would you save? >P

Save the one who is the one who talk to me most or the one i love :D

Anything that can be asked :)

[INT] What are the 'individual activities' of 4Minute's members? - Talks about their schools and their interests



One of the best words that would perfectly be associated with the members of 4Minute is "Multi-talented." Following their huge hits, "Hot Issue," "Muzik" and "Huh" are two new awesome tracks, from their first full-length album, 4MINUTES LEFT, which are "Heart to Heart" and "Mirror Mirror." Listening to these songs may just make you think of how these girls make such a good team despite their differences.

Kim HyunA has always been famous for her dancing even when she was still a kid. It was on Dongmyeong Yeoja All Girls High School (a school she attended in where actress, Chae Rim, also schooled in) where she started to improve her dancing and acting skills. That is why she felt really thankful for having been accepted to Konkuk University, despite of having thousands of people participating and trying their best to get into that University. She also decided to get into the "Film Department" of the school. "I've been learning and improving my dancing skills since my journey of becoming a singer started. For almost 5-6 years that I have been exposed to making music videos and using different gadgets and technologies, I got more interested on doing such things. We also gained some experiences on acting and I think it just came naturally. It may be difficult for me but I'm trying to look at it as a challenge so that I could make better performances in the future," HyunA said.

The maknae, Kwon Sohyun, entered the industry at a very early age as a child star. Since then, her talents and her passion for her work continued to grow. "For now, I would like to build up and gain more experiences so that my dream of becoming an 'all-round performer' could turn into reality," Sohyun explained animatedly.

On the other hand, member, Jeon Jiyoon, is currently studying at Kyunghee University majoring in 'Post Modern Music.' "I would like to learn more in terms of composition. However, if there would be an opportunity for me to do acting in the future, then I would love to try it too! I always loved to do action and I think it would be an interesting challenge for me," Jiyoon shared.

The Vocalist, Heo Gayoon, nicknamed as "Gangnam girl," has entered Dongguk University this year under the 'Drama Department.' "When I was still in high school, I used to join theater organizations and do some acting activities. All of us from 4Minute has always loved acting and we'd love to be engaged in such activities in the future. There had been opportunities before but unfortunately, they were cancelled, so if ever I'll be given another chance, I'd surely grab it," Gayoon said.

Leader Nam Jihyun, currently enrolled at Sangmyung University under 'Dance Department,' later then shared, "Though I'm into dancing, it would be interesting if I could star in a movie someday!"

Meanwhile, 4Minute is currently busy promoting their 4MINUTES LEFT album, which is now topping various music charts. With the combination of their songs' strong beat, smooth melody and powerful dance choreography, these girls undoubtedly leaves everyone a strong good impression.
