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.

I really like this song from Gina Choi (G.na). It's called "I Will Back Off So You Can Live Better". She’s the newest Cube Entertainment singer, who debuted last week in the stages of various Korean music programs like Mnet Countdown, Music Bank, Music Core & Inkigayo. This song features Beast’s Junhyung as a rapper, and Beast’s Doojoon in the music video. It’s actually one of those hurtful break-up songs where the guy doesn’t feel the same anymore, and you’re left with no choice but to let him go because he wants to break it off with you. Good high range vocals is definitely a good way to come out strong in the entertainment business these days. The RnB flavor plus good dancing is also a hit. I personally think she’s the best solo artist who debuted this year so far.

Two talented and young idol group members, Gayoon (4 Minute) and Yoseob (Beast) recently covered Gina Choi and Rain’s “What I Would Like To Do Once I Get A Lover”. This track that I recently featured in my previous posts, is one of the songs in Gina Choi’s debut album, that was fully released today. I find this song really cute because it’s from KPop’s younger generation of promising idols. Both groups are under the custody of Cube Entertainment, who also manages Gina’s singing career. 4 Minute debuted early 2009, months earlier than 4 their fellow label mate Beast (Otherwise: B2st). Because of this, both groups seem to have a close relationship, and it can be manifested by their numerous appearances and guestings in Korean variety shows since their debuts. I personally think that both their vocals are good.
