[NEWS] Handsome and young 89-line shining as musicians.. "the appearance of new musicians in the music industry" @Joker891219


Soft romantic guy - Yong Junhyung

In BEAST who plays a big role in rapmaking, he is gradually expanding his activity as a producer. Jang Woohyuk, Kim Wanseon are some of his sunbaenims singers that he has worked with. BEAST's recent songs that he has produced did not go unnoticed.

He may emphasis on being as a charismatic rapper but a closer look, reveals that he is actually romantic. He looked into that 'indirect experience' where he would usually get from watching movies and dramas. Romantic comedy like "Love and Deluxe" that women seem to like would also be in his interest. So, it explains that most of his works are songs based on love and breakups.

He would show that most of the lyrics are written in his handphone or a notebook. From a total of 100, only 1~2 will be chosen to become songs. Even after returning from overseas with tight schedules, he would go straight to the studio from the airport.

"I started this, self-thought, since high school, somehow when I was to debut as a singer and to watch Shinsadong Tiger to work more in music made me more interested in this field. Popularity is important too but it's the trend and to show my clear color in music is what making me keep going on," he said.
