‘No problem with five members’

Watch: BEAST Releases Dreamy Prologue Video for “Highlight”


BEAST finally releases their first teaser video for their upcoming comeback!
In the “prologue,” each member has a forlorn expression on their face, and seem to be reminiscing about something. They stand or sit in different places, surrounded by greenery all around.
Each member looks like they are about to leave, when a ribbon wraps around their wrists, stopping their movements. Unlike the teaser images, the ribbons are black as opposed to white. It’s as if something is both figuratively and literally holding them back from moving on.
In the background, a lush orchestra plays a melancholy tune, accented by a guitar streaming. In the beginning, a strong beat can be heard as well, before it mellows out.
Watch the dream-like video here!
Meanwhile, the entire full album will be released on July 4, at 12 a.m. KST.

BEAST Unveils Touching Teasers for Their Third Album!



BEAST has been teasing us a lot lately by releasing a picture made of individual pictures of the members and have been updating it daily. The photos showed the members holding each other's hands with a white ribbon. The pictures look really beautiful, but yet quite sad.

The full picture is finally complete now! Check it out below:



Fans are really excited about their comeback, but also a bit heartbroken because it's the first time the group will be releasing something without Hyunseung, who's now pursuing a solo career. Could the white ribbons have anything to do with this issue? In South Korea, girls usually wear white ribbons at funerals; can this be the meaning behind the pictures? What kind of concept will the boys bring this time?

BEAST's third album will be released on July 4th, however the last teaser promised us that 'The Prologue' will be released on June 17th.
