[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.
