Beast made their comeback.

With their recently released 3rd mini album , members shares their difficulty in their preparation process. They regret for not leaving behind a strong distinct impression in their previous activities. Although they were given the title “animal~idols” from their [activities], Beast still felt 2% short and wanted to fulfill their mission with their “Breath”. This time around they resolved to show nothing less with their title song “Breath”. With their intense electronic beats and intricate repetitious melody, [we] were able to meet up with the ever changing ‘chameleon’ Beast members.

#Done with the preparation process.

Debuted last October, Beast. What has lead to member’s road to notoriety. Much attention was initially drawn to this group due members , Yoon Doojoon and Jang Hyunseung , who were both dropped, respectively, from auditioning for [boy] groups, and Lee Kikwang, who’d previously debuted as a solo artist. All of their songs have successfully done well on charts. And recently, Yoon Doojoon and Lee Kikwang have successfully landed on various entertainment shows. However, as per members, they weren’t satisfied.

“It appears we’re being recognized by a lot of people. Fans have definitely grown. However, we feel that there’s still something amiss. Feel like we’re short of 2%. This time around we’re going to try hard to fill up that 2%” (Yoon Doojoon) “We no longer feel estranged when we attend broadcast shows, think our confidence have grown to the extent of our comfort level on stage.” (Yong Junhyung)

In order to fill up that missing 2%, members practiced hard, leaving no room for laziness. One could guess from their gaunt appearances were due to their strenuous practice schedules.

“I’ve finally realized that being #1 is not everything. If we’re not satisfied, do you think fans will be as well? In order to leave nothing amiss on stage, we practice and practice.” (Yang Yoseob)

All due the fact that their dream of holding an exclusive concert will soon to be realized at Jamsil Stadium. In the prospect of seeing strong live performances by Beast, fans’ expectations are also steadily increasing as well.
