Beast (Boys of the EAst Standing Tall) is a 6 member boy group from Cube Entertainment, alongside talents like girl group 4 Minute and rookie solo singer G.Na (Gina Choi) who just debuted a couple of months ago. They debuted last year in October with their first album, and almost a year after, reports has it that they will soon be back for an upcoming 2nd mini album. They were responsible for the song "Shock", and they were awarded as Best Rookies during the year-end music awards in 2009. Beast is composed of Doojoon (leader), Gi Kwang, Yoseob, Junhyung, Dongwoon & Hyun Seung. Though during their debut days they were labelled as the "reject boy group" owing to the fact that most of its members were previous trainees of other companies and some of them failed to debut as stars in their previous agencies, I think they managed to get away from the stereotype because they have been working nonstop in showing a new side of themselves each time. I am a fan of 3 legendary KPop boy groups Super Junior, TVXQ and Big Bang so consider me an ELF, a Cassie and a VIP at the same time. Recently, I've been eying on ShiNee, C.N.Blue and newbies like Beast and MBLAQ (Music Boys Live In Absolute Quality) who I think are slowly rising up as new generation KPop idol groups in the entertainment industry. Beast is not in my favorite list yet, but I have to commend these boys for doing well since their debut last year.

Ahead of their much anticipated comeback, the guys have released a special ballad which will be part of their upcoming 2nd album entitled "Clenching a Tight Fist". It has sad lyrics, and what makes it extra special is that it was written by a member of the group. If I am not mistaken, I think it was Hyun Seung. A few months ago, I was able to listen to Gayoon (4 Minute) & Yoseob's (also a Beast member) duet, and I really liked it. Personally, I like Yoseob's voice, and after listening to their ballad, I was able to hear the voices of the other members in a non-autotune song which made me happy. The boys did a great job, and I personally like the over-all feel of the song. Most boy groups these days, if not all, rarely promote with ballads. They usually release the popular upbeat and danceable autotune tracks in their albums as title and follow-up tracks respectively. So as a listener, I try my hardest to find something new, even though it's just a thin line of distinction everytime a group is out to release a comeback album. Especially in rookie and relatively new groups. By far, they have been doing well since last year. In this day and age of KPop, it's typical to see a boy group who have good-looking tall members who can dance well, but it's a plus point and it's even better when they are able to hit the notes of really good ballads and belt them. To conclude this post, I am definitely looking forward for more songs from their upcoming 2nd album.
