Last part of Elle Girl B2ST Interview


EG: When you get busy and more popular, there are things that you lose/neglect. Are there any things that you ponder regarding yourself or your family/friends?
DJ: I think we have slightly passed the period whereby we’ve pondered a lot. It was difficult until last year, and seem to have found the solution the best I could. If I can’t meet my friends, then I’ll get my friends to meet me where I am.
HS: I agree!
DW: To a certain extent, there’s a side where we’ve buried/numbed such feelings of loneliness and thoughts.
JH: When we are tired and busy, the ones we neglect the most are our families. Our parents are interested to know and so they ask this and that, because we are busy, we just give a brief answer. Although these days our parents are less worried as compared to the past.

EG: Curious as to how do each of you relieve stress or recharge yourself. How about Yoseob?
DJ: Like those housewives, watching lots of television.
YS: While thinking of Doojoon, play wild fighting/wrestling/boxing games too. (laughs) I’m the kind who gets stressed and reliefs stress easily. Somewhat quick-tempered.

EG: We heard that Junhyung usually spends his time making music.
JH: I don’t write music everyday. Well, if I rest, I rest in the production room. Watch television or play some games, and while playing/relaxing, when a good idea comes up, I’ll do some writing/production too. I tell the members to come over and let them listen to the music I’ve made, or let Yoseob record as a guide.
YS: I’m getting used. (laughs) Dongwoon likes Lego.
DW: Yes, I’m collecting Lego, and this trip to New York, I’ve bought one. I like making stuff. My mind doesn’t wander, and five or six hours just past.
YS: When he’s really concentrated, he looks happy.
DW: Lego or figurines, they’re always at that particular spot. Should I say, it seems like they’re watching over me? It calms my nerves/gives me a sense of peace. (KK: peace!)

EG: So how about Doojoon and Kikwang? Doojoon likes sports right?
DJ: Yes, I play soccer often, I’m interested in wrestling/boxing recently so I try out my skills on Yoseob.
YS: Cracking joints (into position). Trying things like Jiu-jitsu on me and asks if it’s painful. It’s painful even if the hand brushes/touches..
KK: No matter what I need to move. I feel suffocated if I’m indoors, so I’ll try to get out wherever. If I’ve no one to meet, I’ll watch varieties alone and laugh. I’m an Infinite Challenge fan.
JH: Perhaps that’s why Kikwang does well on varieties. The Kikwang we know is a quiet kid, but he speaks well on programmes.
DJ: He’s been a Win-Win MC for two years and counting. It’ll be good if he can continue being active in future.

EG: Tomorrow is Hyunseung’s first performance for the musical Mozart. Did you invite your members?
DJ: Yes. But it seems like we’ve seen the entire show. To the extent we can memorise the song.
YS: Hyunseung really practices a lot. He does it in the dorm, in the car..
HS: There’s even a time they chased me out of the dorm. Too noisy, they said.
YS: Tomorrow is the day he’ll show us how well he’s done/prepared, hope that he’ll do great.

EG: The end of July, it’s your comeback. Do you feel the stress/burden of having to stage an outstanding performance? Or otherwise, going with a relaxed/fun mind?
KK: Definitely, since it’s been a year and three months since this release. Be it the fans or the public, they do know Beast to a certain extent now. I think they’ll be curious as to what concept this group (us) will come back with. Because when I was another artiste’s fan, I had this mindset. It can be stressful thinking of the expectations of the fans or the public, although this time round the concept and style are new, it feels right/is suited for us, so I’m confident.

EG: If you were to give a hint about the music or the performance?
YS: The songs that we have up till now, we have always been the one left behind. We always were heartbroken. From the start, “are you really gonna throw me away?” to “Shock” that we received, this time round the mood is a little different. Please look forward to it.


EG: Through the concept this time round, what do you want to achieve the most?
HS: I want to show you how much we suffered in the US. (laughs)
JH: Of course, we would like to achieve great results, but more than that, we would like to be told that we are a team that does really well.
KK: It will be good to hear things like “Wow, this album is really cool”. Not only from our fans, but also fans of other artistes and other artistes themselves.
YS: Cool Beast! That’s the best. –heart–
