The “United Cube Family Concert” will take place in Korea, Japan, and Singapore. Cube Entertainment is also considering adding stops in the United Kingdom and Brazil.
After debuting just shy of two years ago, BEAST has released four mini albums, a duo album titled “My Story,” and their full length album, “Fiction And Fact.” In May 2011, BEAST sold over 90,000 copies of “Fiction And Fact” putting it in contention for some end of the year awards.
BEAST placed first with their title song, “Fiction,” from “Fiction And Fact,” on every music program. BEAST wrapped up their promotions of “Fiction” on tonight’s Inkigayo, and are headed straight to Japan to promote the Japanese version of “Bad Girl” which was released in Japan on June 15th.
On June 17th, the members of BEAST met up with Oh My News and completed a noon interview.
Kikwang started off saying, “Like the weather that’s getting warmer, that is the feeling of the lyrics to “Ficion” so we became worried about our activities. There are a lot of people that give us lots of love and we are very grateful towards them. The number of B2UTYS is increasing and we get the ‘I love you the more popular you become’ feel.”
On “Fiction And Fact” member and rapper Junhyung composed the track “Freeze” which is the fifth track, entirely by himself. Junhyung commented, “While the other members completed their solo activities, I worked at the recording studio composing day and night. I wanted to show more than a fresh performance with this album.” Junhyung continued by saying that when he showed his self-composed track to the Cube Entertainment CEO Hong Seungsung, he said, “What is this?” Shinsadong Tiger reassured Junhyung that even he gets the same reaction and that giving up after one try would be foolish. Junhyung stated, “I was determined to get my songs onto the album, so I kept working on them. I even told the members not to bother me and to give me peace, and I got that peace.” Junhyung also pointed out that he wants to work with FT Island’s Lee Hongki in the future and he also attends Heechul’s blood-type social gatherings.
BEAST’s income earnings get divided equally among the six members. Junhyung stated, “The income is different every month. I save money for my parents as well. I want to own my own recording studio, and from that money that I earn, I want to by a house for my parents to live in.” Dongwoon continued with, “I want to buy my Dad a new car.”
Dongwoon also mentioned that BEAST is very busy with activities these days and that he would like to take a week long trip to Jeju Island in the future.
The members of BEAST have been completing their own solo activities for a long time now. Doojoon stars in the sitcom, “All My Love,” while Kikwang has acted in “My Princess” and “High Kick Through the Roof” among others.
Yoseob has participated in the musical “Gwanghwamun Sonata” and performed on “Immortal Song 2,” which has gained a lot of attention from fans. Yoseob attracts fans from ten years old to mothers.
