They carried scars. All of them did/GET WELL SOON U IDIOT!!!!!
Along with success of 4minute, he had decided to send out a boy group after the girl group. Six members from different experiences and personalities gathered together to make BEAST. BEAST gained popularity beautifully with a strong beastly force. “BEAST members suffered a lot of hardships. These kids basically had the second place rank tied to their tails.”
The leader Yoon Doojoon and Maknae Son Dongwoon had to watch their fellow 2PM and 2AM members who spent their trainee times together at JYP reach success, Jang Hyunseung was eliminated from becoming the final member of Big Bang, Yong Junhyung had been active through the group XING, Yang Yoseob had stayed a trainee for the longest time moving here and there, and Lee Kikwang was able to debut solo as AJ after long trainee times.
“All of them had sadness and loneliness. I wanted to make these kids first place. Since they all had their own managements and different situations, it wasn’t easy trying to fit these kids into a composition they wanted. Because of their old images from past managements and experiences of failure, these kids didn’t easily come to me and I couldn’t easily approach them. In addition, they couldn’t just come to me because of my trust. However, I gathered the kids together with the rewarding thought of bringing these wounded kids success.”
Honestly, I even declined Junhyung and Yoseob because they were different from what I thought them to be like. However they said to me, 'I have nowhere to go if it isn’t here, I will come back so accept me then', showing how passionate they were. I think BEAST comes to exist today because of the effort and the passion the kids put into stand up from their pain.”
For now, the only way to see BEAST is through the members on variety programs, but the public will be able to see them near the end of July. “With BEAST fans reaching more than 100,000, I’m planning to have a global showcase for a scale of 10,000 fans to match the comeback near the end of July where even fans overseas can participate in. There also is a female solo debut in between as well. Even though the music industry is pushing forward faster comebacks because of the shorter term period, but I think it is important to give the kids a break and also have more time to prepare for the next album.”

after reading this, i kinda was happy tt beast weren't under SM or JYP. i mean, huge companies(other than YG) dun seem to care about the welfare of their artiste... what they care about most is how to earn alot, and how to keep their artiste out of trouble frm the press.
these boys all carried scars with them as they debuted. yet we only recognise their cool and happy images on stage. its seldom do we suddenly realise they could have been even more successful! they were rejected once, but it was CUBE which gave them a second chance. what Hong CEO said was so true: "These kids basically had the second place rank tied to their tails." these painful memories can never be wiped off easily. only if they become even more successful, then will they be able to tell themselves they finally succeeded.
when i see articles like these, my heart gets torn apart, thinking how cheerfully they smiled on screen, thinking what if they cried alot to sleep when they first debuted because of the harsh remarks of netizens. thinking what if they alr got used to ppl calling them ~rejects? what if... ... i myself called them rejects before. oneday-rejects, bigbang-rejects... but i truely regret my words now. they just proved to me they have so much more to give to us in terms of their skills in dancing and singing. they are good!
rest well beast coz the whole army(as quoted. ^^) of b2uties will be waiting for your comeback!! the important thing is get decent rests and charge the powers up. ur comeback might be threatened by shinee or bigbang or 2ne1 or se7en. bu who cares? u don't need to get the first to prove that you can do it. and b2uties will make sure u get to the top so worry not. :D 100325-1st win never to be forgotten. :P we'll make so many more of these happy moments some true. :)
are u ready for some BEASTly action? :D
