120704 BEAST take off to New York~ local fans crowding around
Posted Image

Group BEAST has been seen in New York, USA before their comeback in Korea.

BEAST headed for USA on the 2nd in preparations for their new album. The reason why they’ve crossed the Pacific Ocean is to film their music video.



Representatives say “We will show a new music image for BEAST using the foreign location as background” And “We are expecting it to be a blockbuster production that will remind you of a movie.”



They are predicting that BEAST’s music video production will cost a few hundred thousand dollars. Other singers do not set a high budget for music videos. In reality they are fixed on building film sets to create the mood. Boldly crossing the Pacific Ocean and heading to the USA shows how much they are contributing for BEAST’s new album.


Initially BEAST’s company didn’t release any information about filming location or dates. They did not want to run into any problems with fans crowding around the film site after hearing the news. However fans followed them from the airport and posted pictures on fansites, letting the public know of their trip to the USA. There are rumours that they have asked fans to cooperate and have started filming.

[BLOG] Son IlRak's Cyworld Update @beastdw

111123 Son IlRak's Cyworld Update - Finding out about BEAST
Finding out more about BEAST (3) : They are 'Complicated Idols'.

BEAST is made up of members with strong personalities and indivisualities, also called 'Jjamppong Idols'.
(t/n: Jjamppoing is a Chinese-Korean cusine made up of many different ingridients)

Other than their faces, by their body and its proportions you can tell how different and how much indivisualities the members have.

When people talk about idol groups, they think of members with similar faces, weight, height.

It is well known that in CUBE entertainment, to get rid of similar trainees, they hold a mandatory showcase.

During the showcase, they see the possiblities of the trainees and their talent.

Imagine the groups that are popular in Japan.
The members' faces look similar (handsome) and they are usually taller than 180 cm.

But what about BEAST?
Heights are very different and their each of their faces are unique in their own ways.

Is that it?
There isn't a group with different tones of voices and styles like BEAST. From this fact, I don't mind calling them the 'This Way and That idols'.

BEAST is also originated from very different places.

Members of BEAST are from Kyungsangdo, Junrado, Choongchungdo, Kyungkido, and etc., making them the group with many different origins.

Also, last names of the members of BEAST do not repeat. Yoon-Jang-Lee-Yang-Yong-Son, more tha 6 last names are in BEAST.

Not only that, the CEO of their entertainment's last name is Holng, Vice President is Park, and Advertisement Head is Choi.

Does that mean the CEO of their entertainment did this on purpose from the beginning of their casting?
Height, facial features, their hometown, last names, etc.

Probably not.
It was probably a coincidence.

From this, I think that the formation of BEAST is nature's gift.
So, the school that they went to, their hometown, their last names, etc., is put together that it creates a bigger and better thing than it meant to.

I know this changes the subject, but I have a very strange habit.
When I hear a song that I learned back when I was a child, or sing to it, my nose gets a sting and my chest hurts as if its been shot by a gun.

I don't know the reason why.
But I think the origin of that came from the fact that my father worked in the army and I had stress from transferring elementary schools 6 times.

If I think about those times, I remember the days in the gymnasium, being lonely.

That's right.
At the gym, there might have been someone that wanted a friend to lean on.

If I say that, there might be someone that would be frustrated and ask me to hurry up and tell them what the title of the song is.

It starts this way.
"Let's take a step together, leaning on each other"
That's right, it's

On 2011, June 9th, BEAST won three times in a row on Music Bank with 'Fiction'.

And during that day, they stood around, leaning on each others' shoulders, spinning around in a circle with an arm around each others' necks while singing their encore song.

As soon as I saw this, my heart felt heavy.
In this world, could there be something more beautiful than this?

This might be the reason why BEAST did better than what I expected.

During a radio broadcast, the DJ said this.

If you see a soccer or a baseball team that never won a game before, they all have a similarity. The members of the team doesn't look at the team's goal (winning), but they care about their own performance and how they look.

I couldn't help but agree to that.

That's right.
Leaning on one another with an arm around each others' neck was quite amazing.

I was introduced to a book, by Keith Perazi.

He said this.
"You can never go far by yourself."

Helen Keller also said this.
"Things that you can accomplish by yourself is not much"

Each of the members of BEAST are worse than weeds by themselves.

The only reason that they stood out was because they threw away their greed of looking good, and their personalities.

I must order BEAST to do this.
"Let's take a step together, leaning on each other, let's take a step forward together"

With their different personalities, hometowns, and how they grew up, there might be some times when they didn't get along well with each others.

There might have been arguments and fights.
But didn't you see that BEAST fought threw all that and finally achieved their goal, to go to the top?

I hope that BEAST continues to understand each other and listen to each other like they have been doing and finish the marathon they have been running.

But BEAST also has their bad sides, some dents too.
Don't you think that the difference in the members' tone, facial feautres, and personalities are actually cool?
Isn't it amazing how the six diverse members of BEAST go well together?


When getting along with someone that looks different from me, a person that has different ideas than me, caring and listening to each other is the main key.

BEAST is made up of 6 people that have very different characteristics.
I hope that you guys will care for each other and stay together forever.

Of course, BEAST is able to be on the top because of us, the B2UTIES.

I hope that BEAST becomes an idol that becomes a rep of Korea.

Also, I hope that they spread the knowledge of Korea all around the world.

That means that BEAST has to become the harmonydol (idol that keeps harmony amongst the people) of K-POP.


If BEAST becomes the harmonydol, they will also become the hope of many who are having tough troubles.

꽝이b: Kikwang oppa you got the role of Ricky from Sammy's Adventure right!!! Was there a role you really wanted to try out if you got to be a voice dubber? Not only animation movies, but all movies combined haha
►Kikwang: Um.. I don't think I had one ha But I think dubbing will be fun.. I don't know how my voice will turn out though.. haha

기광이하이염: Kikwang oppa! How did you study during your senior year…ㅠㅠ I have 4 days left until my finals and I'm like thisㅠㅠ I can't even focus! Oppa give me some study tipsㅠㅠ Sobs sobs…
►Kikwang: Um..As for study methods, I don't think it's good to cram everything in one day and I reviewed really hard each day so I didn't forget things I learned. I reviewed and reviewed. Also, instead of reviewing everything at once, try doing little at a time more often! Try that!

사자: From all the songs you sang, which song was the hardest for you to record? Also, even though all stages must be fun for you, is there a song in particular that makes you really excited?! What~ song~ would~ that~ be~ please answer with a lot of exclamation marks!!!!!!! Always be careful of the cold ~.~ Take care of your heart too..
►Kikwang: All songs are always hard haha Um.. There are stages when I realize that I'm awesome or when I realize that I'm really having fun. Those stages are really fun. It's like a feeling that I can stay there for hours and hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

체리코코: Is there a book that you really enjoyed reading?
►Kikwang: Manga…? kekeke One Piece!!!!!!!

쳔재이기광: Kikwang oppa you have all kind of talents, but from all those talents, what do you want to be the best at?
From a tweet I saw not too long ago, I think it might be singing, but I also see that you always want to try new things like singing, dancing, acting, and composing
At the same time, people say that if you are good at a lot of things, then it's hard for you to be the best at one thing..
So there are a lot of people who put in a lot of time making their decision, but it's really amazing to see that you guys always try a lot of new things!
However, what are you the most attracted to? There must be a thing you want to be the best at. What is it?
►Kikwang: I think I'm set to be a singer. These days I'm really greedy and I work the hardest when it comes to singing. So I practice a lot. As well as composing. I'm currently focusing on those two things at the moment. I'm in the process of going step by step without rushing myself, so I'm having really fun working hard.

애기광둘리: I was really really really curious but!!!!! Do you read your mentions on twitter?!!! Are you checking them out?!!! ^0^ And I love you?? It must be hard with the comeback preparations, but stay strong
►Kikwang: Not all, but of course I read them! There a lot of funny ones too haha

긱왕구오빠 내꺼하자: Oppa you are really busy these days rightㅠㅠㅠ
I miss you..our oppa….you are doing well right!!?? haha
Do you like watching movies or working out?? hahaha
Kikwang oppa I love you
Oppa it's hot these days so do you want to go eat patbingsoo (red bean shaved ice) with me…..?? kekeke
Ah also oppa, your earphones at the airports….Don't listen to it too loudㅠㅠㅠ It's not good for you….
►Kikwang: Wow patbingsoo sounds really good right now! ha
It depends on the day, but I like both. Watching movies and working out! ha

서방삼고싶은돌: You are really busy because of comeback preparations right? But still make sure to eat on time and take care of yourself ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I'll anticipate for your comeback
►Kikwang: We will be back with an amazing stage as high as your anticipation

항끗: Oppa ^ㅁ^
Have you ever done something thinking to yourself, "fans will like this~"????
►Kikwang: Um..pointing right at the fans on stage^^? hahaha kekekekekekekekekekekeke hahaha or not.. ke

기광이뿌잉뿌잉: Oppa..Is there a way I can get rid of my stage fear?? I'm a piano major….But my stage fear is so bad…ㅜㅜㅜ So I get really nervous during my practice test….ㅜ I took a test yesterday but but… I kind of failed ㅠㅜㅠㅜㅠ Please teach me ways so I don't get nervous on stage!!!!!!
►Kikwang: Um….When you are going on stage just think to yourself "I am really the best. I am the best. There is no one else who can do better than me."
But, before that, practice until your fingers will move by themselves even when you are nervous and anxious
Practice until you can trust yourself..!
If you practice until you can acknowledge yourself, then on stage you won't be nervous
And you will naturally gain confidence in yourself!

애기광둘리: In your opinion, what is your attraction point ^0^ Even though head to toe you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
►Kikwang: Um……..this is hard……but it would have to be when I'm on stage? ha

기광쪽: I miss you a lot ~ Oppa you miss us a lot too right~??
Also when I see you it's like bibidibibidibu ^o^ The awesome guy who excels at everything he does!!! '3'
It seems like you lost a lot of your muscle and your face got smaller. You look good no matter what, but it's the best when I see you improving >_<
Can you say a word of encouragement for all the seniors this year?!
►Kikwang: I have a motto and it's, "Your body doesn't lie." If you don't give up and work hard focusing all your efforts, then your body will never lie.
With that mindset if you don't give up and lose, then you will get a good score on your studies as well!

기광현주: Hello hello. Oppa when I saw that you posted on twitter today I was really happy so I memorized a bunch of English phrases for my exam!! Ah this isn't the important thing, but ~ Oppa! Are you eating well in the dorm? What can you cook the best oppa!! I was curious about that!! Ah! I'm watching Win Win right now ㅠ See you later! Bye bye! Good night

►Kikwang: Of course you can do that!! Don't change your words!

Um dancing wise Kikwang oppa is the best! right? keke You wanted to be a better dancer and you became one! Then is there something you wanted to be good that, but you still are lacking in? Even though you are perfect in everything already kekeke! keke
►Kikwang: There are so many. But in particular, it would have to be singing! And acting! I really need to work more more more on those two things haha
