[NEWS] BEAST's Yoseob leaves 'Immortal Song 2'..Which idol singers are coming up?

Yoseob from the group BEAST will be leaving KBS ‘Immortal Song 2 – Sing the Legends’. Kwon Jaeyoung PD of ‘Immortal Song 2’ commented, “BEAST’s Yoseob will be leaving the program to the issues with oversea promotions. He was very sad about leaving as well. In addition he added that later when his schedules are in better conditions he might have the urge to join again.” Yoseob had participated in the recording to reinterpret a legendary song on the 6th, and along with Super Junior’s Yesung and SHINee’s Jonghyun, he will be leaving the program as well.

Filling up Yoseob’s spot in the program will be MBLAQ’s G.O. Kwon Jaeyoung PD stated his reason for adding him by saying, “Even though G.O has not been shined on for his singing as much, he is a hard worker who the other artists should fear.” Starting the recording on the 13th, MBLAQ’s G.O, 2PM’s Junsu, FT Island’s Hongki, Secret’s Jieun, 2AM’s Changmin, and Sistar’s Hyorin will be participating.

According to the idol’s schedules, ‘Immortal Song 2’ plans to have many more idols participating on stage. Kwon Jaeyoung PD revealed, “ We are sorting through the schedules so that f(x)’s Luna, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, 2AM’s Jokwon, CN Blue’s Jung Yonghwa, Miss A’s Min, 4minute’s Jiyoon, Infinite’s Sunggyu, UKISS’s Soohyun, and more can participate.”

[INFO] 4minute Sohyun vs. 2NE1 Sandara: "Same outfit"

Girl group 2NE1's Sandara Park and 4minute's Kwon Sohyun were caught wearing the same clothes. These two both chose this knitted vest.

After the K-pop event, "Seoul Osaka Music of Heart 2011 Fighting Japan," Sohyun wore this vest in white while coming back to Korea on June 8th. On this day, Sohyun made an airport fashion statement with her matching black and white outfit. Excluding the vest, her short pants, shoes, bag, and sunglasses were all black.

Sandara Park first wore this vest on December 15th for the "2010 Melon Music Awards." She chose this vest in grey while the rest of her outfit was black. She, on the other hand, wore a belt with the vest, which made it more stylish. Because of the cold weather, she also wore long, black gloves.

[INFO]4minute Hyunah vs. T-ara Hyomin: "School Uniform Battle"

The picture of Hyomin in a school uniform is from the set of the latest horror film "Gisaeng Spirit." Hyomin plays the role of Han Eunjung's younger sister, a lively high school student, who has the key to all the problems. She looks cute with her hair tied up in pigtails.

On the other hand, Hyunah is known as a girl group member who looks great in a school uniform. The photos at the top are of Hyunah in junior high school when she debuted as a Wonder Girls member. As expected, even as a junior high school student, Hyunah had a glamorous body. With her slender legs and thin waist, she is posing like a celebrity. She also smiled while complying with her friends' requests for her signature.

Meanwhile, the movie "Gisaeng Spirit," which is about the spirit of a child who died entering the bodies of different people and committing terrifying murders, will come out in August.

[NEWS] [Behind Story] BEAST's Yong Junhyung, the real reason why he escaped the residence and slept elsewhere?

TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS

110606 [Behind Story] BEAST's Yong Junhyung, the real reason why he escaped the residence and slept elsewhere?

The reason BEAST Yong Junhyung often left the BEAST residence?

Recently, after BEAST released their first official album ‘Fiction and Fact’ they won 1st place on numerous music programs with their title track ‘Fiction’ and their ballad track ‘On Rainy Days’, becoming extremely popular. In particular, Yong Junhyung composed, wrote, and produced the track ‘Freeze’, attracting attention.

Member Yang Yoseob said “This album is significant for many reasons. Specially, Junhyung produced a song. For some reason, he’s the only one who wouldn’t come home. I thought, ‘What is he doing that makes him sleep elsewhere’ but I saw that he would stay up all night in the producing room writing a song.”

At this, Yong Junhyung said “Because the producing room is in the basement, I worked hard not knowing time passed. When I concentrated on working, it would already be dawn. When I was too tired to drive, I would call a driver and return home late.” Also “I was interested in writing songs since long ago. I studied it continuously and I finally started working now. However, when I listened to the song I wrote at night, it would sound nice and then the next day, I wouldn’t like it. I wrote a few songs and then threw them away, repeating this cycle over and over again.”

Yong Junhyung said “One day, S.Tiger hyung suggested to me ‘Hold onto one song and try fixing it.’ And so after going through, fixing the song, I let the president listen to my first song and he said ‘Why did you bring this.’ I was shocked, thinking ‘Do I not have any talent in producing’ and I was upset. Then, S. Tiger hyung said ‘It is rare for even me to get an okay on the first try. If it doesn’t work, why don’t you try again.’ So I started working again and the song ‘Freeze’ came out.

He said “I’m most thankful to S.Tiger hyung. If it wasn’t for him, I would’ve never thought to release a self produced song. Even now he tells me ‘Take everything you can get from me’ and he continues to teach me about producing” and “I thank my members. After listening to the song, they told me that the song has to go into the first official album. And so it was put into the album, and this album has become very significant to me in a variety of ways.”

‘I want to produce more songs’ says Yong Junhyung. The more he sleeps elsewhere, I think the number of songs he produces will also multiply.

[CAFE] Son IlRak's Cyworld Update

Hull~ A dance group winning 1st place with a ballad?

Hull~
BEAST won 1st place with a ballad on public broadcasting~~~
I'm feeling ultra good that BEAST is someone getting recognized by fans
For their vocals.

Although it is unreasonable to compare BEAST with the heartfelt sunbae singers on I am a Singer
Who sing with their souls but~~~

At least BEAST will continue to work hard for their l
loving fans~~~
I strongly wish that BEAST will become the hope and dreams for B2UTYs who they call their hearts and love so dearly.

In addition, I know more than anyone that
Each and every member of BEAST is humble.

However, traditionally, the more rice is cooked, the more it's head is down.
Also, even if no one pays attention to it, an awl always comes out of it's pocket.

Boyfriend rock thighs~
Beautiful and graceful Ran-restless (I'm sorry for using a nickname you don't like Hyunseung-ah)~
USA dance founder in charge of upper body Kwangkwangie~
EconomyBbulmon*, needs to sell quickly, fat tongue Junhyung~
Peek-a-boo here and there, face is about to go extinct, out there idol Seobseob-ah~
Since birth, the best Arab old looking face idol, out of this world bragger (Why is that woman saying I look pretty) Dongwoon-ah~**

You know right?
Alright. After winning 1st place, you must behave more humbly, more sincerely, more honestly.
This means you cannot forget the days when you silently cried in the dark practice rooms when people called you a recycled, never seen or heard about group.

Also, fans~~~
Celebrate as much as you want the miracle that you guys have made today~~~^^
And receive lots of energy from BEAST.

However, while you celebrate you know that you must consider the feelings of other groups and their fans right?
This means you should never make anyone feel hurt or compare with others.
This is from the mature one with a generous heart.

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

It is BEAST's god, maknae Dongwoon's birthday!

As if putting gim* (handsomeness) on his face was not enough,
Dongwoon also carries around jim* (coolness)!

I'm looking forward to how much more love he'll get from B2UTYs after becoming more and more handsome~

Regrettably, due to a performance in Japan
Dongwoon isn't in Korea for his birthday but ㅠ_ㅠ
If B2UTYs celebrate his birthday enough, even though he isn't in Korea,
I think he'll be able to celebrate a nice and happy birthday! ^-^

As a birthday celebration, here are some private pictures!
Because Dongwoon in real life is just so~~~~~~~~ amazing
Although the pictures are just normal pictures, they all seem like pictorials(?) ♡

START!

The last one is the warmest!
A picture of Dongwoon from today holding his birthday cake.

After eating together falling into a deep sleep... Yoseob!

Because the BEAST members are having a funny picture battle these days
Afraid that they might take a picture of him sleeping he covered his face. Kekekekekekekekekeke

Junhyung doing the V sign.

Dongwoon wearing the crown that the fans bought him for his birthday while reading the letter.
If someone said he was the prince of a country, it would be believable! ^-^
Regrettably at Inkigayo... As soon as they came down after their encore performance
Because they said they would engrave BEAST's name onto the trophy and took it away
There is no picture of them holding the trophy ^-^;
Still view this group picture of the happy and excited BEAST members~
(There is a rumour that the sensitive Dongwoon shed tears a bit...)

Thank you.

[BLOG] Son IlRak's Cyworld Update

BEAST's true selves?

Somewhere on Bestiz there were questions that asked about BEAST's true personalities.
But the responses about oil-guy (Dongwoon) were pretty eye opening.^^
Oil-guy, your true self is so much better, what to do~~~
Does everyone else think that the oil-guy really doesn't have a cool image?

Let's say so hypothetically~~~

I insist that the appliance companies get to their senses.
HD TVs are good and so are 3D TVs, but please develop something like Real-Life TV that would show what people are like in real life.

Appliance companies need to leave the era of Fiction and realize that the era of Fact is coming.

Anyways as I was saying~~~
You're loud crazy guy-nim joked that oil-guy's real personality is enormous~~~
Are there any good ideas to bridge the gap between their real personalities and their images? If you let me know of any slander I will reward generously.

If you look at how the miraculous invention of shoe-lifts has relieved the worries of short people, then of course you would think that there is a way.

And Yong Soojoob-nim says he is still licking after she came back from Encore Concert and saw Son Dongwoon's true self.
I'm asking you, please. Can the oil guy please stop licking. Your spit will stick on your face.
What's more, isn't a man's charm his thoughtfulness and sincerity as opposed to his face?

Anyways~~~
Whether the oil-guy's real personality is awesome, or whether how he looks less cool on TV is laid out~~~
It doesn't matter at all.

If I had just one wish, it would be that the delicate-hearted and kind oil-guy would get recognition and love starting with his songs and his fans.

Unfortunately for the home fans, the Bears lost 3 – 8 to the Lions in the end.
