Hello. This is the administrator of BEAST's fanclub.
Following last week, at today's M Countdown, they reached the top again and BEAST got 1st place 2 weeks in a row at M Countdown!!!!!!
While receiving lots of love and encouragement from B2UTYs I hope for more and more good results~ Here are pictures of BEAST right after they got 1st place!
1st place group picture!
(+) Before performing, BEAST in the waiting room !!!
BEAST, who made a comeback recently with their first official album "Fiction and Fact", is currently sweeping 1st place on music programs, surging with popularity. However, with the popularity of one of their tracks "On Rainy Days", they have developed an abnormal worry.
Yang Yoseob says "We didn't know that 'On Rainy Days' would receive this kind of reaction when we pre-released it. It seems to be more popular than our title track 'Fiction'. The members have been talking about whether we've chosen the wrong title track." He says "Thank you for showing many interests in our album. We've always worked hard to prepare our albums, but for our first official album, we worked even harder. We wanted to meet the expectations of our fans." and "We're very happy that we released our first official album. It's like all the albums we released before were part of the preparation stage for this album. We'll work harder to show our best image."
BEAST received 1st place on Mnet 'Mcountdown' and KBS2 'Music Bank' for 'Fiction' and 'On Rainy Days' showing explosive popularity.
It has been revealed that the rookie composer who helped compose Jang Woohyuk’s title song ‘Day that Time Stopped’ under the name Joker had been BEAST’s Yong Junhyung.
Earlier, many netizens had commented that the song ‘Day that Time Stopped’ and the song ‘Freeze’ from BEAST’s first official album had been similar. ‘Freeze’ had been the song created a lot of anticipation between the fans, even before the release of the album, because it had been a song self composed by Yong Junhyung.
On the other hand, it has been revealed that Shinsadong Tiger and Yong Junhyung were the co-composers for the song ‘Day that Time Stopped’. Along with that news, people started to speculate that was the reason for the similar mood in the chorus and the whole song in general. ‘Joker’ had been the nickname that Yong Junhyung uses when he works as a composer and referred to himself as the “Joker” in many of the raps from BEAST’s songs.
One acquaintance explained, “The mood of the songs can be similar on many levels. However, the developments of the songs make it a totally different song.”
There was one single teacher who was basically the age of my students and was also from Miss Korea. One day, when I asked her why she wasn't getting married, She responded back to me with an awkward expression. She said that she was only interested in good looking guys.
I suddenly got into a joking mood and showed her the picture of Dongwoon I had saved on to my phone. Then suddenly, a smile appeared on the teacher's face. And then she started to beg me to introduce her to him.
After hearing that, I sneaked a laugh This was because Dongwoon was only in 7th grade at the time and the picture I had on my phone was a picture of him I took when he was in 6th grade.
That is right. Even at that time my son was the epitome of exceeding at a rate faster than Benjamin Button. ^^
Later, when the teacher looking like a student found out the truth behind my story, she made an embarrassed face. Then she said that an oppa she knew was the president of a management and he was looking for the main character in a music video. She added that it would be a good experience for him to come out as at least as an extra.
Music video filming! This coincidental offer had become the seedling that set his destiny to become a singer.
The management president, who looked at Dongwoon, suddenly asked, "Why are you trying to appear in a music video?" And then he abruptly added, "Why don't you just try for the main role?"
Also, the management president asked Dongwoon what he wanted to be when he grew up. Then, oh my, Dongwoon suddenly answers that he wants to be a singer and that he had been preparing a band for a long time?
Hearing that coming from him, I was really suprised. Because until then, I thought of singers as part of a story from a different world. I didn't even hear my own son sing before. Will you guys believe me if I say that I had never been to the karaoke with my family or my friends in my entire life back then?
Thinking that it didn't even make sense, I came back home with Dongwoon. And in the car, after tallking about different things, I told Dongwoon to sing a song. Without hesistation, Dongwoon started to sing SG Wannabe's 'Timeless'.
I still remember thinking that Dongwoon sang giving it his all in his own way. ^^ But for me, who believed that only Jo Yongpil, Na Hoonah, and Song Changsik were the only singer to my ears, I thought that he didn't have the skills to become a singer.
Even when he made in the audition for Korea's one of the biggest managements, or when he made it as a main vocal in a group back in the days, or even when he debuted under the group name BEAST, my initial decision didn't change,
That is right. For me, the definition of a singer was still Jo Yongpil, Na Hoonah, and Song Changsik. So in other words, I didn't accept Dongwoon as a singer somewhere deep in my heart.
But you know. I was surprised when I listened to BEAST's first official album and saw the comeback stage today.
This was because I felt it on my skin that Dongwoon's singing abilities improved so much. And of course his steadiness got much better.
Fans who watched BEAST's comeback stage commented about Dongwoon's improvement or praised him on his singing.
You guys are probably assuming this but~~~ I want to praise Dongwoon with the fan's praises on my back. Even if you guys make fun of me for praising my son. You guys understand right?
Son~ You are a singer. You are a true singer.
Your father knows that you probably blamed yourself and pushed yourself harder through vocal lessons even after you debuted as a pro singer. And I know that there are not many singers who still got vocal lessons after debuting as a singer. How would I not understand your pain and suffering.
But your attitude is something to be praised about. I hope that will never ever lose that type of mindset and attutide in the future.
Just adding this, but you won't be turning arrogant because you heard praises right?
Praises can even make a whale dance, but I am telling you this becuase it can also make someone sick and mess up their life.
Hoping that your father's praise will become your motivation to sing and dance harder, I also wish that it will never become the poison that ends up hurting you.
BEAST showed a great performance at the Dream Concert.
'2011 Dream Concert' was held on May 28th at PM in Seoul Sangam World Cup Stadium. Before the concert, there were concerns about the rumor 'let's not support BEAST's stage', which was known as BEAST 'ten minute', that spread throughout the internet. But BEAST performed a hot stage with their new song 'Fiction' and hit song 'Shock' and received a big cheer from the audience.
'Dream Concert' started back in 1995 and this year's was the 17th concert. Dream Concert is a big concert where people can enjoy the passion of high class singers. But Dream Concert created negative relationship between fandoms due to 'ten minute' (not supporting a singer on stage for ten minutes, silencing the whole audience), etc.
However, when BEAST went on stage the audience all cheered as one. Also seven thousands of fans stood up from their seat and supported BEAST, which was a twist. On top of this, fans of Shinee and other singers also joined in the supporting, showing a matured cultural awareness.
On the other hand, Shinee, TVXQ, Kara, 2PM, Jewelry, Rainbow, Secret, etc performed in '2011 Dream Concert', providing joy to the audience.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us On May 27, 4Minute girls were guesting on Y Star's God Of Cookery Expedition weekly corner "Best of Best." The cast of the show went on a gourmet tour of the best restaurants.
On this episode, God Of Cookery Expedition's MCs Jung Joon Ha, Hyun Yeong, Goo Woori and Park Taejun took 4Minute downtown to enjoy the best food such as Japanese fresh bread, delicious desserts and the tastiest meat at barbecue restaurants.
They also had the opportunity to appreciate various dishes and played the role of gourmet critics.
4Minute members couldn't hide their excitement to start their Gourmet Tour of the best local and international food restaurants. The girls couldn't restrain their screams of joy every time the main dishes such as Korean beef drenched in barbecue sauce and exquisite servings were introduced to them.
Jung Joon Ha was in charge of roasting the meat and gave a mouthful to JiYoon, SoHyun, JiHyun who showed off their powerful aegyo in order to thank him.
JiYoon performed her famous child like aegyo, SoHyun displayed her soft aegyo while Jihyun showed her bagel girl side ("~~sexy").
@7:49 and 8:49
Park Taejun then volunteered to roast the beef and picked one especially for HyunAh to eat. He seemed very satisfied with HyunAh's attitude. Thus, he answered with a big smile: "HyunAh's aegyo is 100 out of 100!!!" which made everyone burst into laughter.
So what do you think? Which aegyo was the cutest?

110530 BEAST, wants to break the "'3 second singer' notion"
BEAST has revealed their intention to break away from the image of '3 Second Singers'
BEAST had recently released their first full length album 'Fiction and Fact,' and are promoting with their title song 'Fiction' and the ballad 'On Rainy Days.' 'Fiction' is a song about the sad feelings of a man who can't accept that the fact that he and his girlfriend had separated. By emphasizing the vocals and the melody line, it offers a different kind of charm compared to previous hit tracks such as 'Breath' and 'Shock.' Especially the way they move freely between falsetto and their natural voices, the members have been receiving praise such as 'As expected of BEAST,' 'True talent,' 'They seem to have gotten better at singing.'
Member Yang Yoseob has revealed he "wants to break the '3 second singer' notion." '3 second singer' refers to the idols that get only 3 seconds worth of singing time on stage while the main vocalist focuses on his own parts.
He said "It can't be helped that in groups, there's an emphasis on one member. So that the 3 second singer term is created. This time, our full length album may be like that as well but all the members wanted to show their live vocal talents." He added, "We really worked hard and improved a lot. Especially Dongwoon, he got so noticeably better. In order to show our developments, we tried to divide the parts as evenly as possible. You'll be able to ear other member's voices this time."
'Fiction' is a song that has the highest pitch in boy group songs. Wouldn't it be impossible to do live? Yang Yoseob says "Our schedules preparing for the comeback were really busy. Usually in a day we would record two songs, but when we had to redo recordings or record intro songs we would do a total of three songs in one day. Those parts were only difficult; I think it fit me better than 'Shock' or 'Breath.' It was easier to sing this time than before." But when asked 'Isn't it because you got better at singing?' he showed his humble image by responding "That's definitely not the case. I still am far from good."
With 'Fiction' and 'On Rainy Days,' BEAST had won first on Mnet's 'M Countdown' and KBS2's 'Music Bank' and are achieving a lot of popularity.
