B2ST wants you to give their dance move a name!

B2ST wants you to give their dance move a name for their song “Fiction”!

After releasing their album on May 17th, B2ST has been ranking #1 on various online music charts.

Along with that, B2ST has another happy dilemma. In a portion of their music video, there is a part when B2ST has a dramatic and powerful dance move. Fans, after deciding that it was the highlight part of the video, were suggesting various names for the dance on various message boards.

On May 18th, Cube Entertainment made an official statement about the name of the dance move, “The company has made a name for that dance but after seeing the various suggestions that the fans have sent us, we decided that the name will be decided by the fans.”

They explained, “By writing your suggestions on B2ST’s official homepage, fan page, or the member’s personal Twitters, we will pick the best and most popular name for this dance”.

Pretty cool treat for the fans, make sure to pitch in your ideas!

Yang Hyunsuk talks about the promotion plans for Lonely

2NE1 will not but performing their new song on cable broadcasting music programs this time around as well. Instead, they will be revealing several different versions of 'Lonely' through their internet broadcast, YG ON AIR. On the 12th at 12AM, shortly after 2NE1 released their emotional song, Lonely, and even until now, it has swept up top positions on several representative music charts including Melon, Dosirak, Soribada, mnet.com, Monkey3, etc. It is the next contender for the number one spot conquest after Park Bom's solo song that was released at the end of April, 'Don't Cry'. However just like Park Bom, 2NE1 will not be making an appearance with 'Lonely' on existing music programs. YG's head, Yang Hyun Suk, had told Star News this afternoon, "These are my personal thoughts but I think it's a shame that for over ten years, talented artists continuously have the same performances, the same camera angles, etc. on formal music programs that are almost all identical. ", "This is because they cannot properly show individual artists' talents and their music." Moreover, "These days, if you look at how a lot of people are obsessed and interested with 'I'm a Singer', you would know where to find the answer.", "'I'm a Singer' is different from other music programs in the respect that artists are able to sing with top-quality sound systems and unique stage set-ups. The fans also focus on the music and like it even more." "With this in mind, 2NE1, like with Park Bom's Don't Cry, will not perform 'Lonely' on music programs.", "Instead, every Friday, starting next week, they will show several different versions of Lonely to fans through YG on Air." Yang Hyunsuk continued, "On YG ON AIR, they will be able to do stages that are created only for 2NE1, and the ones that 2NE1 wants to do.", "Fans who want to see 2NE1's performances can do so by watching YG ON AIR, and be able to concentrate on the musical aspect."  Meanwhile, Yang Hyunsuk emphasized, "In the situation where they have a song that is really emphasized on performances, 2NE1 will also realistically have to appear on music programs as well, however I think that this will be restricted to one show every week."

No Rapping, No Autotune, Just 2NE1 Giving Life to Their New Hit "Lonely"

BEAST takes a picture at the fanclub ‘B2UTY’ inauguration

Breath-taking seduction! The 6 different colors of the 6 beastly idols!

The group BEAST had celebrated their meeting with fans through a hotly fan service.

On the 2nd, each of the members had appeared in front of the camera with a pose that displayed their self at the Seoul Hwajung Gymnasium for their fan meeting / fan club inauguration.

The fanclub’s name is B2UTY. It is a fan club name that matches very well with BEAST. Holding their fan club inauguration in 1 year and 6 months since their debut, Yoon Doojoon stated, “It has been over a year since our debut so we apologize for holding the fan club inauguration now. We also hope that everyone here would have a fun time.”

Filled with continuous laughter and cheers throughout the meeting of b2uties and BEAST, Sports Korea was there to cover the event.

# Reveals?
At the event, the members played the ‘Son Byungho Game’. Whenever someone said something that applied to another person, that person would climb up the stairs one by one. They attracted the fans attention with topics like “fake sideburns,” “real height,” and “the amount of money they actually make.”

# The day Kikwang’s ears fell off
Kikwang, who recently had his birthday, received a birthday cake at the event. Perhaps it is because Lee Kikwang had received praises from 5,000 fans, but his smile is stretched up to his ears.

# If it is with Kim Shinyoung
The MC at the event was the comedian, Kim Shinyoung. Through her clever phrases, the laughter came out nonstop. In the segment about ‘Let’s ask BEAST’, Yong Junhyung was chosen as the member like a mother with the worst nags and Son Dongwoon was chosen as the member attracted the most with food.

# Expression of the BEAST
Other than the segments with the members, BEAST sang and . The stage manners simulating a concert feel helped to hype everyone up.

# Pictures at the waiting room
Before the event, the members each posed a different pose to show the fans. Compared to the loud laughs and thumb pose from Yoon Doojoon and Lee Kikwang, the cute pose of Yang Yoseob with the V pose makes him look adorable. Jang Hyunseung, Yong Junhyung, and Son Dongwoon stood in front of the camera with a pose full of charisma.

# We are BEAST!
Yong Junhyung, Jang Hyunseung, Lee Kikwang, Yang Yoseob, Yoon Doojoon, and Son Dongwoon (from left to right) posed to commemorate the fan meeting. The poses from playfulness to nervousness shows off their different colors.
