[FEATURE] STARCAST: The behind scene of BEAST’s thrilling beautiful show at Taiwan where they had a hot night

BEAST who stirs up the Beauty’s mind with their always-hot stage visited Taiwan after a while. They held their stage with all their effort for Taiwanese fans who showed a great excitement where they bought all tickets in a day. We prepared various looks of BEAST from BEAST who held a small talent show at Taiwan for the Beauty who is waiting for BEAST to comeback 24/7 to the hot charismatic looking BEAST no matter what they do, shall we go and check them out?

We visited BEAST members’ stand-by room where the members were getting ready to get on the stage. We see the leader Yoon Du Jun who showed off his talented acting and eating skill by appearing in the drama ‘Let’s Eat’. Isn’t it good to see his happy face despite his packed schedule? 

He didn’t chat with us that much, Yoon Du Jun attracted all our attention by saying he is going to try hanging on the youngest member Son Dong Woon’s arm as appreciating the muscular arm who is indeed enjoying exercising lately.

Do you feel how strong Son Dong Woon’s arm is by looking at the picture? Check how much the leader was hanging on Son Dong Woon’s arm via watching the clip provided below!

The victory V which displays the youngest member Son Dong Woon’s cuteness, who just showed off his mighty muscle strength. v(^_^)v

Lee Ki Kwang who were checking out on other members, soon he took off his cell phone. The reason was…

If you watched the behind scene of last Hong Kong beautiful show you might have already guessed it, he took out the phone to get valued on how well he learnt from the selfie skill lecture which he got from Yang Yo Seop.

This is a picture he posted on his SNS. Yet it still does not look as good as his real look, do you agree with me?

Yong Jun Hyung who was keeping himself quite got on something and it was a moving cart. Yong Jun Hyung lightly sat down on the moving cart which made to carry goods around; can he really look so cute like this on it? Yong Jun Hyung said he wish he get to ride on this when he had to make a move on his solo stage, Baby slow… Take it slow…… you don’t have to be in a hurry ……

He didn’t stay on the moving cart for long, Yong Jun Hyung performed his photo shoot as leaning on to the sofa like he never been on the cart before. Such unexpected act would be Yong Jun Hyung’s charming point, right?

Jang Hyun Seung who doesn’t let lose himself even before getting on the stage for a great performance also took a cut! Don’t you feel Jang Hyun Seung’s captivating charisma?

Yoon Du Jun put his thumbs up along with his simple victory V! Yoon Du Jun is very handsome as both an actor and a singer on the stage.

We also captioned Yang Yo Seop who made a pose which it seemed like he was about to cover his small face completely up with his hands. Yang Yo Seop always makes the beauty heart aflutter with his cute and handsome look. “5 minus 4 are…”

"It’s one."

Now, only 1 minute left till they get on the stage! We took a picture of Yong Jun Hyung who was determining himself to hold a perfect stage and Yang Yo Seop who is following after Yong Jun Hyung. See you all at the stage!

Son Dong Woon who looks very driven is also about to get on the stage. This day, Son Dong Woon held an extra special stage.

Why? Because June 6th was his birthday. It was very touching to see many Taiwanese beauty fans singing happy birthday song in Korean. Thank you again for coming out to the world Son Dong Woon!

[ARTICLE] Korean Boy Band BEAST gets wet at their sold-out concert Beautiful Show in Hong Kong!

Popular Korean group BEAST ended their first concert in Hong Kong perfectly amidst loud screams from fans. Hong Kong fans who have been waiting for years finally got to witness the performance of their idols live at the Asia World Expo Hall.

The concert started with the 6 members dancing and singing to their new song “Good Luck” in black. Vocalist Hyun Seung showed off his abs right at the start, driving the fans into a crazy mode!

As the concert proceeded on with the solo performances by each member, the fans screamed and heated up the atmosphere of the concert throughout the night. Mood-maker Hyun Seung danced and sang this heart out, and even jumped into a “pool” (which was part of the concert), getting himself totally drenched! Muscle-man Gi Kwang donned in a white sleeveless shirt that accentuated his well-toned body and muscular arms brought a dance performance while Rapper Jun Hyung displayed his rapping skills during his solo time. The other 3 members of the group, Doo Joon, Yo Seob and Dong Woon appeared on stage together to serenade fans with their beautiful voices.

As it was BEAST’s first concert in Hong Kong despite having debuted in 2009, Hong Kong BEAUTY (the fan club name for the fans of BEAST) put in their best effort for the fan chats or every single song, both surprising and touching the hearts of BEAST. The members said “It’s the first time we come to Hong Kong but the fan chants were already this good, we really regretted for coming here so late!” The members have asked fans not to worry they will visit Hong Kong more in the future.

  As the date of the concert was near Maknae Dong Woon’s birthday, the Hong Kong fans specially prepared a 3-tier fondant cake and a birthday event for him. BEAUTYs held up support banners when Yo Seob helped to push the cake out from the backstage and everyone sang the birthday song in Korean for Dong Woon, making it a memorable moment. Dong Woon thanked the fans for their efforts and instantaneously took off his jacket to do a sexy dance! Much to the delight of the fans and his members, Dong Woon felt shy and adorably covered his face while he walked back to the main stage to be with his members. It seems that the love from fans have been received well by Dong Woon and all the other members too!

 Nearing the end of the concert,  Hyun Seung expressed his sadness that time had ticked by too fast. “I wish to keep singing till midnight and not let B2UTY go” he said. As the concert was held in Hong Kong, the members of  BEAST each prepared a Cantonese phrase for the fans. With every phrase being spoken, deafening screams erupted from the crowd. Fans nearly roared the Hall down when Doo Joon said “Call Me Tonight” in Cantonese! The fans have so much love for the boys!

Fans who managed to get the standing tickets to the concert praised the design of the stage for letting them have an up close experience with their idol. BEAST will be continuing their concert tour in Taiwan on 6th June, the tickets have also been sold out for the Taiwan concert.

Thank You JACSO for inviting us to this event!

[NEWS] B2ST's Kikwang makes cute mistakes on 'Laws of the Jungle in Solomon Islands'

As one of the younger members of SBS's 'Laws of the Jungle in Solomon Islands,'B2ST's Kikwang seemed to have the most trouble in getting used to the harsh environment of the jungle. 

On the September 26 episode of the show, Kikwang almost caused a disaster when he leaned on the makeshift jungle shelter that the members set up to sleep under, causing it to slant. However, due to the sturdily crafted work by the members, the shelter didn't crumble. 

Kikwang's potentially catastrophic slip was soon forgotten amongst the members as they faced harsh survival missions and it was decided that they would restructure the shelter to make it more sturdy. Kikwang apologized and revealed that he was the culprit to the tilting of the shelter as they were heading back to base, causing the fellow jungle members to chuckle at his adorable mistake. 

Despite his silly mistakes, the idol also showed off his masculinity through his night fishing skills where he was given the nickname, 'Harpoon King.' Although Kim Byung Man and Kikwang had to come out of the water due to the unexpected appearance of sharks, Kikwang proved that he was worthy to be a part of the jungle team.

[NEWS] 'Laws of the Jungle' team take on eating bats and lizards in first episode of the Solomon Islands edition

The 'Laws of the Jungle' team were all in good spirits on day 1 in the Solomon Islands, unaware of the hardship that lies ahead!

The part 1 cast which includes, tribe leader Kim Byung Man, Park Jung Chul, Ryu Dam, Kwon Oh Joong, g.o.d's Kim Tae Woo, Kim Gyu Ri, B2ST's Kikwang, and martial artist director Jung Doo Hong, received a startling, yet sweet welcoming ceremony by the inhabitants of the Solomon Islands and got to try the interesting fruits and vegetables that the land had to offer.

But the most eye-catching food were the bats and monitor lizards that the tribe had to eat for dinner. The island residents roasted a dish filled with sweet potatoes, eggs, bats, and monitor lizards that were sauced with coconut milk. Kim Tae Woo was the first one to courageously try the monitor lizard and gave his review, "It tastes like meat. It's a little stiff because it's roasted. But the monitor lizard is okay." Kikwang also commented after taking a bite, "Oh! This is really! It tastes like well-roasted fish."

Ryu Dam was the first to try the roasted bat and shared, "The bat tastes good! It just tastes like smoked chicken. It also tastes like ham. To be honest, it's tasty. But it's a bit hard [to eat] because you know it's a bat. But it's tasty." Kim Tae Woo took a bite as well and shared, "This tastes better than the monitor lizard." Kikwang also gave his opinion, "It was surprising. If you eat this without knowing what kind of meat this is, you would think that this has a good roasted taste."

Check out the feast below (second clip at the 17:00 mark)!
