비스트 용준형이 팬들에게 당부의 말을 전했다.

용 준형은 11일 자신의 개인블로그 트위터에 "다시한번 말씀드립니다. 우리 진짜 착한 뷰티(비스트 팬클럽)들까지 욕보이는 것 같아서 죄송하지만 제 번호를 아시는 분들은 그냥 알고만 계세요. 장난전화 문자메시지 정말 지치네요. 부탁드릴게요"라고 글을 올렸다.

용 준형은 평소 자신의 트위터에 글을 남긴 팬들에게 일일이 리트윗을 해줄 정도로 팬들에게 각별한 애정을 드러내왔다. 하지만 자신의 휴대폰 번호를 알아낸 일부 팬들이 도가 지나친 장난전화와 문자메시지를 남겨대자 힘든 마음을 드러낸 것.

간절한 당부에 팬들은 '미안하다' '진짜 개념뷰티되자. 이러면 안된다'는 등 자성의 목소리를 냈다.

비스트는 오는 18일과 19일 양일간 서울 올림픽체조경기장에서 앵콜 콘서트 '웰컴 백 투 비스트 에어라인'을 개최한다.

So I'm asking you, please.”

In the past, Yong Junhyung had even shown his friendly sides of retweeting and adding comments to the fans that were leaving him messages. However, he ended up expressing the hardships he faced with the overload of prank calls and the text messages from the fans who found out his number.

Fans responded back “We are sorry,” “Let’s be fans with manners. We can’t do this,” and more.

BEAST will be opening their encore concert ‘Welcome BACK to BEAST Airlines’ on the 18th and 19th coming up at the Seoul Olympic Gymnasium.
