Check out a preview of B2ST’s Japanese version of “Fiction” in ‘Shanghai’ trailer
B2ST would provide the image song for the Japanese-U.S. collaborative film, “Shanghai“.
A brief cut of the song was used towards the end of the trailer, which was released today. The Japanese remake of the song was re-arranged into a soothing ballad that’s bursting at the seams with emotion and power. Although some were unsure as to how “Fiction” would fit with the atmosphere of a high-tension film, the boys managed to pull it off flawlessly.
“Fiction” will be used in not only the movie teaser, but in the CF as well; it will also be included in their first Japanese album, “SO BEAST“, scheduled for release on August 10th.
Check it out below (begins around the 1:30 mark)!

B2ST prepares a special ’support present’ for their fans
To celebrate the successful promotions of their latest album “Fiction and Fact“, the members of B2ST have prepared a heartwarming surprise for their fans.
Over 1,000 fans gathered to bid the boys farewell on the June 19th episode of SBS’s “Inkigayo“, and each of them received a special present from the boys themselves. The members wanted to repay all the love they’ve received during their promotions, and decided to give a ’support gift’ of their own to their fans.
Fanclubs in Korea are known for coming up with lavish ’support ideas’, like buying their groups lunch baskets and snacks for both the members and staff, often with special stickers pasted on to represent their
fanclub. The boys were inspired by the idea, and so they prepared 1,000 drinks with personally designed stickers like, “God Dongwoon’s Surprise Attack” and “Paid For by Chief Yoon.”
Surprised fans commented back, “How is it possible to not like them when they do fan service like this”, and “B2ST loves their fans so much!”
The boys concluded, “The past month has been like a dream to us thanks to all of the best love sent to us by our fans. Thank you so much for making us so happy right up until the last broadcast.”

On the afternoon of the 17th at a hotel restaurant in Yeoeuido, Seoul, Yang Yoseob met with enews and surprised us with this story. When we asked why, he answered “Truthfully, I had no confidence. (BEAST) is growing a lot right now, if we failed the guerrilla concert, it would have made a big impact mentally.”
Yang Yoseob said “When we first arrived at the airport in Japan, there were exactly 5 fans” and “After seeing this I thought ‘All activities were done very secretively,’”
He said “Truthfully I vaguely trusted that ‘someone in the company must have secretly posted an announcement about this.’ And I felt even more nervous.” And “I was worried that, what if we couldn’t even get a response right before the performance.”
However, on this day at Shinjuku station, around 5000 people came to watch BEAST’s guerrilla concert and the performance ended successfully. As BEAST started singing “Bad Girl” the fans started singing along to the song, the place resembling a BEAST concert.
Yang Yoseob said “I only started to relax after I saw people gathering. I was so thankful to the Japanese fans who came to watch the sudden concert” and “I think I gained more confidence for the Japanese promotions and tour performances through this performance” he stated with energy.

“At first, the song was first heard by the CEO (Hong Seuhong, representative of Cube Entertainment) and his reaction was ‘What is this’. I panicked. Later Shinsadong Tiger hyung said ‘I have received a lot of reactions like that before’ and also added ‘Foolish people die, don’t panic’. I am determined to get my songs on the album, so the recordings, I’ve been doing my own directing. I don’t want the other members to bother me so I told them ‘Don’t bother me, I want some peace’. And so I got that peace."
Yong Junhyung pointed that he wants to work with FT Island singer, Lee Hongki. They want to see the combination of the band’s music. Yong Junhyung with Super Junior Kim Heechul, Supreme Team Simon D (SamD), FT Island Lee Hongki and Choi Jonghun sometimes together went for the ‘Chocoball’ social gathering.
BEAST’s earning principles are ‘to divide equally among the six’ but Yong Junhyung’s is separated from the rest. He said “The income is different every month.

Maknae Son Dongwoon added “I want to buy my dad a new car” with a smile.
Son Dongwoon said “We are very busy with activities and whenever times got hard, I always think that ‘I have to be a good singer’” “If given a break, I want to go to on a one-week vacation to Jeju Island”.
