[BLOG] Son Ilrak's Cyworld Update @beastdw

TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS


The country that hurts when it's cousin buys a land


The people of our country~ the Republic of Korea~
It's a country with a lot of people both good and bad.

You can see this just by looking at the olympics.
It's hard to ignore the fact that some small country, located in East Asia, has so many people well known throughout this world,
I have to admit that I'm very proud myself.

However.
The people of our country~ the Republic of Korea~
If you skin the outside cover, you can find an ugly and sometimes uncivilized side of mankind.
For example, people in our country are too busy talking bad about someone doing well rather than complimenting or rooting for them

Why do you think we have proverbs saying that when our cousins by good land, our stomachs hurt first instead of us being happy and clapping for them.

Then does that mean that the people in our country are nice, warming, and caring to people who don't as well?
You wish.
If there is someone who is different, Koreans sneer at them and sometimes even make fun of them to the point they feel like an outcast.

What is the reason behind this?
About this issue, Lee Kyutae from the Josun Times said this.

Koreans are oriented by the image of an . This is why when Korean see someone doing really well
Or someone falling really behind, we tend to avoid them.

Well, does this mean that we decided to leave out the disabled and the people doing well because Korea was a country that was hard to harvest rice
And if we didn't plant a certain seed at the certain time then we would have all starved to death?

Anyways now it's the new millennium age and an age of internationalization.
At an age like this, don't you think that we need a wider perspective and and greater heart for others?

On top of that, our enemies are not inside, but outside.
In the midst of the ongoing competition between national interests and centrism, we should not have to emphasize the fact
That the people in our country should open up our hearts and find a compromise.

BEAST made a comeback in a year and 2 months.
Due to the great album sales through the fan signing events, rather than sending warm encouragement and praises, Koreans are being diagnosed with that horrible chronic illness.
Some people are making rumors that BEAST's album sales number was a lie without any proof whatsoever.

Is it impossible to live in world where people clap for the people doing well and encourage the people who aren't doing well?

Right now, BEAST's fans are holding a campaign to gather all the receipts showing the purchase of the albums.
How frustrated do you think they must have been to decide on doing such a hard work?

However, do you think that these people making these rumors will admit that they were wrong and apologize?
I don't think so.
That is because their goal isn't to see the receipts, but they are just throwing rocks because they hate seeing BEAST and their fandom doing so well.

This is why I think the fans should ignore and not care about such rumors even though it's not fair and it makes them angry.
That way, these people who have a twisted heart will eventually tire out and disappear.

In addition, since I am on this topic, there is another chronic illness that Korean people have and it's .
I won't begin to explain where this takes place.

But oh my~ the troubles between fandoms are out of this world as well.

The best example of this is the obnoxious rumor that BEAST are copy cats.
The post on bestiz about this issue has way~ more than 30000 views.

From what I know, this group that BEAST is accused of copying has a totally different dressing style and music style.
Then what did BEAST exactly copy?
Getting a blonde dye? Wearing certain colors?

Aha~ Now I get it.
BEAST members, like the members of that group, has two eyes and one nose.
This is definitely a serious case of plagiarizing and copying.

Now I think about it there is more.
Like this other group, BEAST members wear rings, necklaces, and oh my they even wear pants.
This is definitely the evidence that even the heavens can agree that BEAST is copying this group.^^

Everyone~
Please, let's not be like that.
You guys are the future of Korea. The hope.

I say this again, but our competitor is not between us.
When someone makes a mistake or fails, I hope that you guys will give them an encouraging round of applause.
Also, even when the other person does something you want to rip them to pieces for, I hope that you will still be able to clap for them then.

[NEWS] 'Midnight Sun' full album review

PLEASE TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS


BEAST's mini album, each song points to... youth

Seo Sukwon's album review


Posted Image

There is a 1980s film titled starring Demi Moore and Rob Lowe. This movie is about the title itself as it portrays the quick, but warming love of growing teenagers. Any movie you watch displaying the love of young adults, whether is romance or horror, most of time, it takes place with the summer night as the background.

This could be because of the fact that a lot of idle activities takes place in the summer, added with the bonus of the "chemical reaction" that takes place a lot in the night. Whatever the reason may be, the nights at the famous beaches in Korea are filled with accidents involving the "mating" process that is portrayed through many teenage movies.

However, an album that you can enjoy listening to without any pressure on a long hot summer night has been released. I'm talking about the mini album from the male idol group BEAST.

This is BEAST's 5th mini album and has a total of 6 different tracks. From dance songs with refreshing beats, to emotional ballads, and even sensible R&B, you can find all these tracks on the album. In addition, the album is filled with tracks that men and women from all different age groups can enjoy even if you aren't exactly a fan of them.

The refreshing feeling of a song and emotion packed lyrics meet.

The song 'Midnight' is a song portraying a guy missing his girlfriend who he loved through the thick and thin. The lyrics "You found me faster than the time I take to blink / The love that left me" and "But I must have really liked you" expresses the regrets in the relationship while the line, "Continuously muted and slowly forgotten" expresses unavoidable resignation.

The combination of a refreshing electronic beat and heart touching melody is really excellent. The song starts off and ends with the sweet melody mixed emotional vocals during the "Nananan nananan" parts. That part in particular blends very well with the guitar sounds in the background creating a romantic atmosphere. In addition, the song makes very good use of the "ah"s to give off a more relatable charms to the listener.

Yoon Doojoon's emotional vocals in the bridge of the song, "The night I count the stars, the night that slowly transforms because of the changing seasons / However, this night is still the night I still can't seem to fall asleep" is good as well. It's a good song to listen to sitting on a silent beach on a summer night

The song 'It's a Beautiful Night" portrays a man's determination to attract a girl who he fell in love with at first sight. The man has just opened his eyes to love so he doesn't know what love is like. He can't control his love emotions like the lyrics in the song and you can feel the excitement the speaker has as if he is walking on clouds.

The mid-tone electronic sounds in the beginning resembles the speaker's heart heating up and then refreshing vocal tones that come in helps to subdue the the temperature from rising in the song. The reckless hot blood of a male in his 20s is well displayed in the song and it is also a song you can directly feel BEAST's manliness.

The song 'Not Me' is about guy lying to his girlfriend who accuses him for cheating. The speaker of the song says "It's not me, really not me" and "I can't lie, you already know that" to strongly deny the fact and explains to his girlfriend, "I don't have any other girl" and "So you probably saw the wrong person last night" trying to leave the situation. But isn't there a saying that being strongly negative is the same as being strongly positive? The fact that the speaker is lying to his girlfriend shows up in Yong Junhyung's rap bridge.

The strange sounds hidden in the song resembles the similar doleful sounds found in Sistar's 'Alone', but in BEAST's song this feeling stays with the listener over the first half. This doleful emotion in the song can be triggered by the fact that men can't suppress their "natural" instincts to look at other woman or the fact that he was caught by his girl friend in the act as the lyrics "Even if I fall back, I'll hurt my nose" expresses. In a way, the speaker's lies sound cute, but this can be because of his unorganized meaningless explanations when you can clearly tell he had cheated.

The song 'When I Miss You' is a ballad song portraying a guy missing his old girlfriend. The lyrics expresses the situation of the speaker finding out how his ex girlfriend is doing and is unable to sleep that night because he is remembering the memories they made together. The beautiful melody found in sweet dreams and the emotional vocals help the song stand out, while the romantic guitar sounds fill the beginning and bridge of the song.

Love doesn't last forever?…. Holding the memories of love

When you listen to this song (When I Miss You), you realize that love is like everything else in the world. It doesn't last forever. When you look at the memories the speaker in the song has or even how the speaker wants happiness for his ex girlfriend, you can't find the reason why they broke up. In situations like this you can say that love doesn't change, but people do, but this is what I think. Everlasting love exists, but not every love is everlasting love. Anyways, when I listen to this song I found my heart warming up and I think it will be a good listen on a night with an clear mind.

'The Day You Rest' is a song expressing a man's desire to possess his girlfriend. The speaker in the song can't trust his girlfriend to the point that he doesn't want her to have a day to herself. He is filled with the worry that she might meet eyes with someone who she runs into. He says things like "Because you are so beautiful" and "I can't focus on any of (m) work", but the truth is that he isn't worrying about her, but himself.

The man's lack of self confidence in the lyrics, "I don't know why but I'm nervous for no reason it's making me frustrated," "I wish that you were busy instead," and "I want to carry you like a Cellphone" adds the fun to the song. In the rhythmical sound and even the vocal styles, the "funky" beat presence is strong. The brass sound made by the electronic sound brings attention to the chorus. As a song carrying a lot of strong beats in the beginning, it's a song you can see a new style of BEAST.

'Dream Girl' is about a man who is in love with a female with exceptional charms. If you organize the thoughts in the speaker's mind, he describes her as a "femme fatale." She attracted him sweetly "like honey," shook him "all around," and even though he knows that he "will get hurt," he can't stop loving her.

The speaker call his her "my dream girl," but in the lyrics you can clearly see that he loves her so much to the point that you don't even know what she thinks of him. This resembles dangerous love. The strong R&B beat and vocals creates a sorrowful mood more than a sweet one. Half way into the song, the guitar and piano sounds that expresses the thoughts of the speaker leaves a strong impression.

If you take out 'Dream Girl', the stories of the songs in track 1 to 5 can be associated with the category of "about last night" like the title of the movie.

To be honest, the night time, especially the summer nights, the youths become more active. In addition, at this time, there are more emotions than the opposite gender so many situations associated with the growing youth happens.

Last night, some youths might have soaked themselves in their emotions thinking about their old lovers and memories (Midnight', 'When I Miss You'), and others might have gone around trying to attract someone who they fell in love at first sight ('It's a Beautiful Night').

Some men might have gone to the club avoiding his girlfriend and got caught ('Not Me') while others might have been tied down with work worrying that his girlfriend might meet eyes with a different guy on her night out ('The Day You Rest').

BEAST's mini album is filled with song you can listen to thinking about your own past memories and it's based on situations that perhaps BEAST members might have experienced themselves.

Through these songs BEAST show that they are the regular men in their 20s who are naive, macho, clumsy, and sometimes a jerk who is willing to lie to save himself in awkward situations. They are saying that they aren't perfect men.

Listeners don't have to do anything and just listen as they pull you in. It's an album that matches well with the active men's season, summer.

120731 BEAST's Fan Sign A Great Success ‘Myungdongil Got Mobbed’


Posted Image


Because of group BEAST's fan sign Myungdongil got mobbed.

BEAST had done the fan signing event at a make-up store they are going to model for on the 31st.


1 thousand BEAST fans came and covered the whole shop. This is a very rare event in the afternoons so there were a lot of fans that came to see BEAST. They were able to feel the popularity.


The members enjoyed the fan signing by holding their hands and greeting them with smiles. Like a Hollywood star they have interacted with Japanese fans and Chinese fans instead of only greeting Korean fans. Some of Japanese fans were too excited that they couldn't hold it in.


BEAST said "Thank you for giving us all these attention, and we will show more of unique sides of us as models." and also "We will return the favor by having fun with the new song."

If they had done the fan meeting under a parasol, they would have not been BEAST.





I saw a meaningful photo today

It was a collage of a photo of the fan meeting before their debut, a photo of fan meeting that took place in Deungchondong around this time last year, and a photo of the fan meeting that took place right after they had completed their comeback stages despite a long break and risky change~~~

That photo was the evidence of the love between B2UTY and BEAST, and it was what they call a living piece of history.



Knowing BEAST, they would have gotten teary eyed and touched deep in their hearts seeing the b2uties waiting in the deadly hot sun just to congratulate them on their comeback.

And Dongwoon's post he wrote on twitter expresses their hearts really well.






To be honest, I personally worried a lot because BEAST's comeback was delayed and the music they prepared was so different from what they had displayed before.

On top of that I heard rumors that fans were leaving the fandom so I kept on thinking that something must have gone wrong.

But today, when I saw the fans and the truth in their hearts, all the worries and negative thoughts became a matter of unfounded fears.

Of course, the sight of BEAST putting forth their endless amount of effort towards challenges like Ulysses and the strength of B2UTIES who understand and accept BEAST the way they are is powerful.

No, it's so beautiful to the point it brings me tears.


Also! There one person who is a friend of mine who deserves a compliment.

It's BEAST's leader, nation's boyfriend idol, rock-thighs Yoon Doojoon, who is so popular these days that even his name appears in song lyrics.


I happened to watch a video of BEAST arriving at the fan meeting location.

Watching the video, I saw Doojoon, who was leading the boys saying as he was walking out of the shade.


Those were his words.

No one made him say it.

It wasn't even a scene he had acted out before.

I am confident that was BEAST's natural feeling they have for B2UTIES.


The moment I saw that, I felt an infinite amount of confidence in Doojoon.

Shouldn't all leaders in the world essentially be like him?

I might be wondering off topic, but I thought how great it would be if the "great" politicians of our country resembled Doojoon. Even at least 25%.


And since I am on this topic, one more thing.

When BEAST members were performing at Gwanghamoon, they prepared 3000 bowls of patbingsoo (shaved ice) for the fans right?

Others might say that I am biased for saying things like this, but I really want to give infinite amount of praise to BEAST for even thinking about doing this.

How in the world did they prepare 3000 bowls of patbingsoo?


2 different thoughts going along with the 3000 bowls of patbingsoo~

Who was the patbingsoo vender that hit daebak selling 3000 bowls?

Did the patbingsoo melt when they were passing it out?

I'm joking.


Anyways BEAST always watches out for their fans directly with care ~

BEAST, who always make an effort. B2uties, who continue to give unchanging love and praise for BEAST who stepped above their failures and disappointment~

It's really nice to look at.

It's beautiful.

It's really a beautiful night to count the stars.
