101007 "Gained 40x more fans within a year...now is the true beginning" (Interview)
For the recent couple of years, idol groups have been taking over. Amongst the many boy and girl groups, there were a lot of new appearances but also exits. With a lot of teams coming in at once, the battle between idol groups in order to survive was brutal. Of course, this is still continuing till this day.
Amongst the idol groups, the feverous battle continues since in the current music scene, it’s not difficult for a new boy group to snag a spot as a popular team. The reality is that if you’re not a group registered under the big 3 companies SM, YG, & JYP whom show a powerful means of promotion, it’s not easy in becoming a famous idol group within a short time period.
However, there is a team who’ve entered this competition as they’ve broken the standards just within one year of their debut as they’ve risen to one of the top boy groups.
BEAST, consisting of members Yoon Doojoon, Lee Kikwang, Yang Yoseob, Yong Junhyung, Jang Hyunseung, and Son Dongwoon, made their debut last October as they’ve made hits straight with the songs ‘Mystery,’ ‘Shock,’ and others as they’ve for sure gained a fixed position as one of the popular idol groups. Within one year of their debut, BEAST not only became a popular idol group but members Yoon Doojoon & Lee Kikwang who engaged in the shows ‘Danbi’ and ‘Hot Brothers’ of MBC ‘Sunday Sunday Night.’
Not stopping, BEAST has released a new album and has caused another storm with their current title song ‘Soom.’ Always showing off their match made in heaven combination, famous producer Shinsadong Tiger created ‘Soom’ to have a fast beat in becoming a strong dance song, receiving good critiques for showcasing BEAST’s manliness well.
Unlike new groups, BEAST has shown memorable performances along with earning a friendly mask after making their debut into the music industry. Soon enough, they rose as idol groups of star status and is continuing in their victorious roll. However, BEAST members said in unison, “Right now is the true beginning” as they did not falter.
The magnae Son Dongwoon said, “When we first made our debut, our official fan café consisted of 3,000 members but now it’s 12,000 people, increasing by forty times.” He also said, “That is why it’s given for us to work even harder” as he showed a smile. He continued by saying, “If it is a mountain we have to climb, then BEAST has only wore our hiking boots” and “We will work harder and climb up slowly.”
Yong Junhyung said, “Within such a short amount of time, we’re very thankful in receiving so much love” and “In order to repay that love, we will work harder than what we have done as of now.”
Leader Yoon Doojoon said, “Now is the true beginning” and “We want to work even harder through ‘Soom’ promotions to let BEAST be known to even more people.”
Last year around the time of their debut, their goal of receiving a rookie award at the end of the year was achieved as this year they’ve achieved nearly half of their biggest goal overseas.
All six members have dreamt of having their own concert once the year had begun. Just recently, they have made the decision and even chosen a date for their very first concert. On December 12th, BEAST will be having their first concert in the Seoul Olympic Stadium.
Yang Yoseob said, “Whenever we had time, we would practice dancing and singing as we want to show a perfected side of ourselves for our first concert.”
Lee Kikwang said, “I think that there are more people who do not know BEAST than those who know us” and “So once we finish ‘Soom’ promotions, we hope to surely let ourselves be known through our first concert.”
Jang Hyunseung said, “One year can be a short amount of time but we worked hard in coming to where we are today” and “We’re able to stand a bit more at ease than our debut days. With that reason and effort, we want to show our different charms through our first concert all at once.”
With a determined yet humble image they showcase all at once, these six members are receiving attention already for the results of what they will create.

QUOTE
[Newsen Lee Uhnhyuk Reporter]
BEAST, who had been called ‘beast-idol’ to ‘pet-idol’, proudly claimed the title, ‘pet-beast-idol’ one year later. As BEAST gains a year, the fans have gained a year older as well. Even when they were doing promotions in different areas of Asia, they had received explosive popularity as well.
Returning with the 3rd mini album, ‘Mastermind’, BEAST had not only grown mature in music, but they had gotten mature in visual ways as well. The youngest, Son Dongwoon, who had been referred to as “male god”, had come back with a short hair cut that reminds one of Wonbin from the movie, ‘Man’. “Since the first year of middle school, in about 6~7 years, I got to cut my hair for the first time. Fans who saw my middle school picture commented, ‘Son Dongwoon doesn’t grow old’. I am really pleased with that comment. In truth, I like comments like ‘He looks younger’ then comments like, ‘it looks good’ or ‘he looks good’.”
The rapper Yong Junhyung had gotten a much more “regular” hair style. The ‘bbul-mon’ hair had returned back to its calm state. “So are you back with a calm hairstyle?” “The fans and my parents like it as well. It must be contrast effect. So far I had strong hairstyles that might cause dislike in some people. At least for now, I have no plans of cutting my hair.”
The lead vocal Yang Yoseob had gone through surgery due to a discovery of an infection in his nose. It might be a regular surgery for someone normal, but as a singer, it had been a hard decision. This is because of the chance that his sound can change and he can have a harder time of pronouncing words. Thankfully the results were well. “After removing the infection, I thought that it couldn’t get worse. Thankfully nothing else went wrong. On the other hand, more good things came out of it.”
Currently promoting ‘Breath’ titled by Yong Junhyung, BEAST is looking forward to release a Part.2 album after this Part.1 album. Even thought the concept hasn’t been chosen, BEAST hinted, “It will be a new look and a new music style that that fans might want from us.”
Also, on December 12th, BEAST’s first concert will be opening at the Seould Jamshil Indoor Stadium. Currently the concert is in the planning stage. BEAST members will be participating in the planning directly and will start building the concert with their ideas. The concert that they all have been waiting for, what will the stages each member want to show be like?
"I saw this one concert from a Japanese singer. They were on a bicycle attracted to a railing and sang while going around the stage. It was unique so I really wanted to try that once. I think it was expressing the feeling of flying up on the sky." (Yang Yoseob)
"The music styles of the members are all different. I want to show a side that hasn’t been shown on broadcasts yet. And I want to show the other songs on album that we never got to be sung on music shows. Since this will be my first concert, I want to do a lot of different things. We need to make the most enjoyable concert. (Yong Junhyung)
Only Jang Hyunseung is the member with experiences with concerts. It is because he had stood on a concert stage as a dance. However, he is worried with the fact that he will be the main character of the stage. “When I was a dancer, the stress was overwhelming. If you are a dancer, all you have to pay attention to is the choreography, but as a since I will be the main character, I need to practice singing and more. Oh wow. We aren’t even busy compared to how we will be like then."
BEAST, who had won the rookie award for 2009, wouldn’t they want a higher award for this year? “Honestly we don’t have greed for awards. We just want to go up step by step. But of course if you them to give, we will receive it with thankful hearts. (Laughs)”
Now the ‘sunbae’ group BEAST has to give away the rookie trophy. Who have they chosen as the nominees for the 2010 rookie award? “Wouldn’t it be CN Blue? If we can give a gift to a female as well…um… it would have to be Miss A out of all the female groups.” (In the middle of the interview, Yong Junhyung started humming the song ‘Breathe’ by Miss A.)
Lastly we asked them what they would like to be an associated word with BEAST in two years. While Yoon Doojoon was pondering after he said, “That is a hard question,” the second leader of the group Yong Junhyung spoke up.
"Honestly when we debuted, there were a lot of bad words about us. But after the 3rd album came out, we started to hear comments like, ‘BEAST isn’t the recycled group, but the rediscovered group.’ I was really proud and gained strength. I remember that comment exactly. In the future we want to hear words like ‘refocus’ and ‘rediscovered’ a lot.”
Debuting with 'Bad Girl', and hitting home runs with the song 'Mystery', 'SHOCK', and 'Special', attentions are turned towards them as others anticipate what other homeruns BEAST might be hitting.
