Cube artists + 2AM attend Hong Seung Sung’s book release conference

On September 1st, Cube Entertainment CEO Hong Seung Sung held a press conference at a cafe in Banpo-dong, Seoul to discuss the release of his new book, “There Will Be No Spotlight If You Stop Now“.

B2ST, 2AM, 4minute’s Nam Ji Hyun, Huh Gak, A Pink, and No Eul made an appearance at the event to support their CEO and his message of hope.

Hong began, “I want to develop Cube Entertainment into the Samsung and LG of the entertainment industry.  After departing from JYP Entertainment, I was determined to build a better company  I believe I’m currently at the halfway mark to my dreams. My ultimate goal is to have B2ST, 4minute, and other artists under my agency fly around the world on chartered planes for global tours.”

Hong first entered the industry in 1990 by managing singer Lee Yerin. In 2001, he co-founded JYP Entertainment with J.Y. Park and went on to discover artists like Ryanghyun Ryangha, Park Jiyoon, Pearl, the Wonder Girls, 2PM, and 2AM.  After establishing Cube Entertainment in 2008, he discovered talents like B2ST, 4minute, and G.NA, and launched them to the top of their careers.

He continued, “I was apologetic towards Byul for not being able to take care of her after I left JYP.  I was the most upset, however, when I had to let Jo Kwon go, as I had watched him grow for 10 years.”

Jo Kwon added, “I’m the first son of CEO Hong Seung Sung. This book in particular is especially meaningful to all of us because it contains memories that we share with him.  It’s touching to be able to look back on stories that were difficult at the time, but were still happy memories for us.”

Jo Kwon affectionately concluded, “We love you, father.”

B2ST’s Yoseob is too short to pinch 2AM Jinwoon’s cheeks

Fans are swooning over an adorable fancam of 2AM’s Jinwoon and B2ST’s Yoseob playing around together during the recording for MBC’s “Idol Star Athletics & Swimming Championships“.
On January 25th, the 30-second video was uploaded to various different community sites under the name, “Jung Jinwoon & Yang Yoseob’s crazy mutiny”. Fans were able to see the two idols tussling with each other in an attempt to pinch the other’s cheeks.
Despite Yoseob being a hyung to Jinwoon – Yoseob was born in 1990, and Jinwoon was born in 1991 – the B2ST member was unable to reach up and pinch the cheeks of 2AM’s maknae. Yoseob stands at 170cm tall, while Jinwoon’s height is recorded at 185cm.
So how did they decide to overcome the height disparity?
The two made up for the 15 cm difference by warmly embracing each other instead.
Netizens commented, “This is so adorable!,” “Jinwoon is the dongseng, but hyung Yoseob looks so much cuter,” and “They look like couples playing.”
