B2ST wonders whether they chose the wrong title track
The members of B2ST have enjoyed a string of successes with their ”Fiction” comeback, but thanks to the equal popularity of their ballad track, “Rainy Days“, the boys have found themselves in an unusual predicament.
Main vocalist Yoseob commented, “We weren’t sure how people would react to ‘Rainy Days’ when we decided to release it first. It ended up getting a lot more popularity than our actual title track, ‘Fiction’. The members and I began to wonder whether we chose the wrong title track.”
He continued, “We’re grateful that people are taking an interest in our album. We’ve always worked hard for our albums, but especially more for this one since it’s our first full-length work. We definitely wanted to live up to the expectations of our fans.”
Concluding with his thoughts on their comeback, Yoseob said, “I’m glad that it’s finally out. I feel like every album leading up to this point were just preparations for “Fiction and Fact”. We promise to work hard in order to show a better image of ourselves.”
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 <Arab looking old aged Flower Boy> 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.

Jo Kwon, Kikwang, & Supreme Team talk life in your 20s for Mnet’s “20’s Choice”
We previously announced that Mnet’s “20’s Choice” is gearing up for their 5th annual summer awards ceremony this year. For the 20 days leading up to the event, they’ve brought in cultural figures to speak on the importance of treasuring your youth.
First up was actor Kim Kab Soo, and following up are 2AM’s Jo Kwon, Supreme Team, and B2ST’s Kikwang.
Jo Kwon chose ‘Individuality’ as the most important aspect to develop in your 20’s, and explained, “I think I’ve created my own style as ‘kkap Kwon’ despite having debuted in a ballad group. From my hairstyle to my high-toned voice, my thinness and even my dancing style all belongs to me. I think everyone has their own individual charm, and it’s just a matter of discovering that and bringing it out.”
Kikwang chose ‘Body’ as the most important part of your 20’s. “What I mean by that is developing your consistency and level of concentration and commitment to something. To build that, why not work out and tone your body? Any exercise that’s good for your health really helps create passion and energy. I hope that people will become healthier inside and out.”
Meanwhile, E-Sens and Simon D chose ‘Style’. The duo said, “Sticking to your own style is important, regardless of what others think. When people were against me shaving my head and Simon D speaking in his dialect, you just have to stick to your guns and turn it into something of your own.”
“20’s Choice” will open on July 7th from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM KST. Channels Mnet, KM, tvN, OnStyle, XTM, and On Game Net will be broadcasting the event live. For those wanting to catch the blue carpet entrance, be sure to tune in at 5:00 PM KST!
Stay tuned for more details and coverage on this awards show, only on allkpop!
B2ST’s Yoseob persuades his runaway fan to return home
B2ST’s Yoseob was revealed to have persuaded one of his runaway fans to return home.
According to reports, a woman had visited the Cube Entertainment office looking for her daughter, who had run away from home with hopes of meeting Yoseob.
Because she did not return home the previous night, the mom felt she had no choice but to come to the company office. After hearing her story, staff members began searching the area around B2ST’s dorm and were eventually able to find her daughter, who had stood outside waiting the entire night.
Representatives said, “Yoseob met with the fan and told her that she could come meet B2ST whenever she wanted to, as long as she never ran away from home again. The fan listened and returned home.”
They continued, “We are thankful for fans expressing their love for B2ST, but please remember that you are also a member of society and need to act accordingly. Running away from home to meet your favorite artist is not a proper expression of your love for them.”
