[NEWS] 111227 'World Tour', BEAST up to the front "we are prepared to eat any insults"

[Billboard Korea] This year's songs of 'On Rainy Days' 'Fiction' has made the big dreams of BEAST as Hallyu stars come true. And here comes their world tour. This year, by using United Cube Concert as the tittle, they went to the London, America, Japan, Brazil and others and came back to be known as global stars. Next year, starting from 4th of February in Seoul, in 21 cities around 14 countries and expected to bring in 200,000 audience, they'll be heading to Germany (Berlin), London, Spain, US (New York, LA, San Francisco), Canada (Vancouver, Toronto), Singapore, Japan (Tokyo, Nagoya, Kobe), Thailand (Bangkok), China (Shanghai), Taiwan, Indonesia, Hong Kong and the Philippines.

It's not a surprising challenge though Beast are rookies at world tours. World star, Rain, debuted solo and took 4 years before having his own world tour and it's true that in fact they only take half in comparison, and also much faster than popular group, Super Junior, to be in Japan in 4 years. With this big plan taking up in big venues, it surprised themselves too. During the press conference on the 26th, at Lotte World in Seoul, BEAST said "last year, when we won the trophy as number 1 for the first time, people were making fun of us, saying 'what are you being as number 1'. But now, even being number 1 you don't have to stick a finger (T/N:blaming on someone). The opening of our first concert, there will sure be a lot of people making fun like 'what kind of solo concert is that'. I'm not blaming anyone. Today, we can eat in the insults but next year we'll also be taking the awards so that we can be the proud BEAST"

BEAST's world tour will be called 'Beautiful Show'. The members are given the power to control from the production meetings to stage direction. To the large screens as well as the various video and lighting effects, 3D special effects will also be used. With 150 minutes used, to produce this dazzling stage is expected to take about 20billion won. Locally in Asia, Europe, North America as well as South America, this event will be reproduced the same.

World Tour after 2 years of debut, this was so they could pursue with the 'spirit of pioneer' (T/N: the driven spirit to someone who opens up new areas of thought or development). Member Yong Junhyung said "BEAST first concert was also held during our early days. But we have to tackle and tolerate on many obstacles and prejudices. Although this idea of world tour is kind of sudden and 'panic', it should be this time that we should show off our 'pioneer spirit', that if you can be successful in this, you'll be able to hold on".

This year, BEAST has been facing many challenges around the country and expresses their regrets on their stage environment. Member Yoon Doojoon stated that "London and Brazil are somewhat unfamiliar to K-Pop, as they are a country that really specialize in hip-hop. The feature songs and performances often do not fit with our colors. The projection of the stage are not provided (London), and we also can't set off fireworks (Brazil) thus, the stage direction was difficult".

The 'K-Pop frenzy' is really going hard although not all countries in the world are giving response to this phenomenon. However, the K-Pop growth and potential it gives are noticeable. Yoon Doojoon optimistically said "It is true that the fans of K-Pop from every country are increasing. I've a friend living in Europe and (the interest in K-Pop) had been different than the previous years. Europe or Brazil seems most unlikely to give off that popularity. The beginning of it may seem weak but sooner or later it will able to catch up". Member Son Dongwoon said "If you wander off at the streets, many people tend to recognize. I think this is the foundation that our seniors have build. I believe if we work together, the light across is achievable".

The dice is thrown. BEAST agreed that this world tour will be their one step in agreeing that they will grow. Member Jang Hyunseung said "This will be BEAST's opportunity to grow" and agreeing to it, Yoon Doojoon predicted "The water is already spilled. We'll come back with satisfactory achievements. This concert is the room for BEAST to grow. This could be the opportunity where it will show us to develop as singers".

Eager Son Dongwoon then said that BEAST will hold on to their solid commitment, according to a quote of Helen Keller. "Helen Keller said 'nothing can change the fact, only I can.' We hope to achieve our best."

[NEWS] 111226 BEAST has potential with the world tour

[TV Report Kang Seunghoon Reporter] BEAST, 4minute, G.NA, the artists who participated in the 'United Cube Concert' are still in a weak condition, but they showed that they have plenty of potential.

In a conference held in Seoul Lotte Hotel on the 26th at 1PM, BEAST stated, "Through performances in Europe (England) and Brazil we were able to cooperate with the fans. However the condition of the stages weren't as good. In England, there was tradition in the stage, so it wasn't a setting we could explode fireworks or add a extending stage so overall that it was hard for teams like us who perform. Brazil was in a better condition than England, it wasn't free as we were in Korea." 

In addition, they added, "Even though it was harder to perform in Europe and South America, we thought that it would be easier for other Korean artists to perform in these locations if we set up a good start for them. In the future, we will be able to meet the fans and perform in many more different areas." 

BEAST explained that KPOP hasn't been expanded to the point it was so popular, but there was a sign of high potential.

BEAST stated, "In Asia there are people who notice us in the streets, but Europe it wasn't even to that extent. However, the way we are treated by the Europeans had changed compared to last year. In the future, we believe that KPOP will be favored by fans even more in Europe and South America."

The reason why BEAST says that there is potential is because each time they release an album, music video, or a video clip, there are more and more people who are clicking it. In reality, even during the performances in England and Brazil oversea fans used their SNS and youtube account to post videos and many people were able to check it out.

BEAST commented, "Oversea fans film videos and since they post the videos on youtube, we believe that is how it gets spread a bigger audience. One Indian fan tweeted us that she wanted us to perform there, and we will try to make that possible."

BEAST confessed that they will be heading 2012 with a planning and adventurous mind. And of course, they will be releasing an album around April-May of next year and fulfill their activities in Korea.

According to comments by locals, BEAST seems to be minor at the moment, however they commented that can also be the performance team that has the potential to finish the world tour successfully.

BEAST stated, "The performances in Brazil and England seemed to have been a little forced on us. If we take out the big entertainment business and just focus on the fact that Cube is throwing a family concert, I hope that we can continue the 'United Cube Concert'."

BEAST will be starting off the concert in Seoul on February 4-5th, 2012 and move on to Germany (Berlin), England (London), Spain, America (3 cities), Canada (2 cities), Singapore, Japan (5 cities), Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Philippines, Hong Kong, and more totaling to 14 countries, 21 cities, and 35 concerts.

Starting February of next year in Seoul, BEAST concert estimated price is at 200 million won. Other than big LEC screens, different equipment, lights, 3D effects will be used to create the greatest show.
