BEAST - Black Paradise Cut

August 14th, 2012. BEAST is driving from the MBC 2012 DMZ Peace Concert to the KBS2 London Olympic Welcoming Ceremony. The drive it about 2 hours long, but they were behind schedule and on top of that, the rain was pouring down. About 30 minutes later of driving in that horrible weather they finally arrive at the London Olympic Welcoming Ceremony and perform last. Now, where is the problem in this you ask? It was the fact that BEAST performed last, after SHINee had performed. If you guys didn’t know, the artist who close the show in any music program or festival is considered the “most” important. On the cue sheet for the London Olympic Welcoming Ceremony, the order was “BEAST-SHINee-Shin Moonhee” however when it was broadcasted live, the order was “Shin Moonhee-SHINee-BEAST” In addition, SHINee didn’t even get a proper introduction before their live performance and in a rehearsal video that went around, SHINee’s song was played during BEAST’s turn creating an uproar between the fans. So for about 2 days, there were negative comments going around the two groups fans. 

KBS finally stated their position through inquiry email one of the fans sent out. KBS stated, “The change of orders during the live show happened due to a mistake one of the MCs made. Also, the rehearsal order changes were made because we were taking into account the rain and amount of traffic to affect their arrival time.” In a tweet from KBS Exclusive TV it stated, “On this day, BEAST and SHINee had been performing at different festivals as well. The two groups barely made it on time to Yeoido drying the blood of the staff members. Thankfully, the two groups were able to finish their stages professionally, recieving applause from the Olympic athletes. (Fans please don’t misunderstand ~ Both groups showed off amazing stage in the rain.)”

Despite these messages, the two fandoms continued to exchange hatred/negative comments and some fans directed it straight to the members themselves and this is where Yoseob’s tweet comes in.

Hello. This is BEAST’s Yoseob. I didn’t have enough time to monitor anything, but now I just went through all the tweets and understood.. The reason we can say that “BEAST wasn’t late” is because of the fact that we got there in time for the live show. It rained a lot that day and we were stuck traffic, but first of all, we tried really hard not to arrive late. However, it is true that we didn’t arrive at the time we were supposed to be on the stage. We should have apologized sooner, but I didn’t know things were going to get this bad and I feel embarrassed and sorry for closing my eyes and ears acting as if nothing was wrong. I will apologize as a representative of BEAST… I’m sorry. The tweet I posted before was a tweet I wrote because I thought that B2UTIES were having a hard time with negative posts. I hope you guys don’t misunderstand. To be honest, I don’t know how you guys will take this tweet in. However, I apologize for being late and apologizing this late. I apologize for everything. To SHINee sunbaenims and their fans, I am genuinely sorry. Lastly, I hope that things don’t get bigger because of this post. Thank you for reading this long post.

KBS already acknowledged the fact that it was a mistake on their part. But, Yang Yoseob stood up as an representative of BEAST to apologize for something that wasn’t even their fault to begin with. Can someone explain to me how I am supposed to feel right now? Anger? Frustration? don’t even know anymore. Anyways I’ll leave this here with a tweet from Yoseob…

I am hungry, but I will not eat and go to sleep because I am sleepy. If I wasn’t sleepy I would have ate right? Since I am hungry too, but I will sleep because I am sleepy. B2uties you guys should think simple minded like me. Too much thinking can cause insomnia. Do you want Hoosidin (Korean ointment)?

Synopsis

A group of people win an event hosted by a program so the group and their families are sent on a trip down to the South Pacific! However, the plane carrying the passengers to their final destination crashes into the ocean and many people lose their lives.. but there were passengers on the plane who had their young located in a different place. Therefore, despite the tragic accident, six kids are still alive.

2012. The six kids are living their own lives. If there is anything that differentiates them from the public, it would have to be their special abilties. However, for these kids who don’t know why they have such strength and how they got it, these special powers are just abilities that hinder them from being normal. Yoseob who can control people by singing and creating hallucinations. Soccer player Doojoon who has all the skills you need to be an excellent sports star. Workout trainer Kikwang who has enormous amount of strength and power. Talented dancer Hyunseung who can teleport anywhere he wants. College student Dongwoon who can absorb any knowledge in seconds. And Junhyung who can feel emotions just by touching an object or person. For them, it isn’t so easy to hide their abilities and live amongst people.  However, there is one person who knows their true identity and that’s the head of the ‘Red Eye’ clan.

The ‘Red Eye’ clan have been livng in the city amongst the people. The ‘Red Eye’ people are the only ones who know of creatures known as “Varients” and have been secretly hunting them down for the peace of the city. However, chaos strikes the clan when they find out that these “Varients” have evolved to look like the humans as well. The Head of the clan realizes that there are only the 6  men who can go against the new “Variants.” These six men, even though they have special powers, isn’t enough to defend themselves from dangerous situations. And it doesn’t help that they are called “monsters” by the Red Eyes. Then a mysterious incident occurs. The Head decides to officially call on BEAST, the six boys from the plane crash. But, not only can’t they gather their strength together, but they keep on fighting each other.  Their future doesn’t look so bright..

As BEAST goes against the new variants, they start to realize that their powers are amazing. Letting out their suppressed powers, the action that rocks the city begins! The six members as a team start to understand each other and start to face their different traumas. As a bonus love comes to find them too!

Then one day, BEAST realizes something is wrong when following a new variant. It’s as if they saw their alter ego. Like a family member.. what is this? While BEAST falls into a confused state, Miso, the girl who has a crush on Junhyung, gets captured. Junhyung, realizing that Miso had become an important part of his life works with his members to save her.. 

However, awaiting BEAST is even more danger and a truth too great for them can’t handle. The tragedy made by humans endless amount of desire. BEAST, who are stuck in the middle of all that tragedy. Will they be able to come out of their deadly destiny and become a true hero?..
