B2ST: Difference between revisions

 

Discography:

* ''[[Darker and Edgier|Shock of the New Era]]'' 2010

* ''Mastermind'' 2010

* [[Expy]]: Junhyung is often compared to G-Dragon of Big Bang because he also helps write the lyrics for his group's songs, is a fashionista with strange clothes and ridiculous hairstyles, and used to go by the [[Stage Names|stage name]] Poppin' Dragon.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Each member has several:

** Hyunseung: [[What Beautiful Eyes|Eye Prince]], Rancho, Seungseung, [[Bambi (Disney)|Bambi]], [[Ice Queen]]

** Junhyung: [[Bald of Awesome|Bald Junhyung]], Yongjun Hyung, [[Japanese Honorifics|Yon-sama]], Yongyong, [[Girls Generation|Yongsica]], Yong Joker, [[Digimon Adventure|Tsunomon]]

** Yoseob made a series of popular UCC [User Created Content] videos with fellow M-Boat Entertainment trainee Daniel (who now goes by Drama and is in the [[Boy Band|group]] Dalmatian) several years prior.

** Although not quite so well known as the others, Dongwoon was already a known JYP Entertainment trainee alongside Doojoon, Kikwang, and the members of 2PM and 2AM.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Yoseob is this with [[Boy Band|Dalmatian]]'s lead singer Drama. They were both M-Boat Entertainment trainees who made a few extremely popular UCC [User Created Content] videos together. It treads on [[Ho Yay]], especially seeing as their special collaboration duet is called ''First Snow and First Kiss'' and is supposed to be a reflection of their first meeting, memories of a first love, and feelings one would feel during the [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|first snow and first kiss]]. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0H8cYA37hA MV] for it [[Tastes Like Diabetes]].

* [[Hidden Depths]]: Dongwoon attended Hanyoung Foreign Language High School -- a top school in South Korea -- and was learning Chinese. He was planning on applying for a Chinese scholarship and studying abroad, but debuted instead.

* [[Ho Yay]]: The members play it up during their reality shows and during actual performances.

* [[Humiliation Conga]]: Doojoon's character in "All My Love". He is finally released from two years of mandatory military service, only to be [[Accidental Pervert|mistaken as a pervert]] by a violent, unattractive woman, pretty much forgotten about by his family, and arrested in his own house in his [[Fan Service|underclothes]] because the [[The Ingenue|tenant]] who moved into his room after he left mistook him for a stalker.

* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Their song ''Take Care of My Girlfriend (Say No)'' has shades of this, and presents the conflict of a [[Stepford Smiler|guy]] torn between letting his friend ask out his [[The One That Got Away|ex-girlfriend]] and hoping she will [[Love Epiphany|realize that he still has feelings for her and will reject his friend]]. The song itself is divided into the verses which give his friend advice about [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her|how to treat the ex-girlfriend]] and the chorus [[Anguished Declaration of Love|revealing his true feelings]].

* [[Idol Singer]]: All of them.

* [[Improv]]: Part of the choreography for ''Beautiful'' is simply the boys goofing around. Dongwoon has stated he will take [[Fan Service|requests from the fans]] and perform whatever requests are possible.

* [[Incredibly Long Note]]: Yoseob is usually in charge of these, but his most prominent example would be his "I DON'T KNOW" at the end of ''Breath'' while the others dance.

** Doojoon's "Crazy" line in the final chorus of ''Shock'' is pretty long too.

** Dongwoon unexpectedly has one at the very beginning of ''Breath'' that was featured in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osy2WFDPcDs audio teaser] for the song.

* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: Junhyung sometimes comes off as this.

{{quote| '''Yoseob''': The scars that I received from someone who had randomly spat out some comments still hasn’t healed. This probably doesn’t only apply to me, but others as well. [[Shaming the Mob|No matter what the method is, someone should never have to inflect such deep scars on another person.]] Apologize. Should I do it instead?}}

** The best thing? [[The Extremist Was Right|It Worked.]] Beast's fanclub B2UTY has [http://www.allkpop.com/2011/01/b2sts-fanbase-posts-an-apology-in-response-to-yoseobs-tweet released an official statement] apologizing to both [[SHI Nee]], [[SHI Nee]]'s fans, and the female [[Idol Singer]] who had all been harassed and cyber-bullied by some of the members.

* [[Letters 2 Numbers]]: The "2" in both B2ST and B2UTY stands in for written "ea" and the spoken "ee" sound. In their first mini-album though, B2ST is pronounced "best" instead, with the "2" standing in for the "e" which it visually resembles.

* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Their ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur7mtOA1ST4 Beautiful]'' MV is a return to this concept.

* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: The relationship between the members of Beast and fellow labelmates [[Girl Group|4Minute]] is said to resemble this, especially since all artists under Cube Entertainment are collectively called CUBE Family. This doesn't really stop the shipping between them though. Beast themselves have said that they [[Too Much Information|know too much about the girls of 4Minute]] to ever actually consider them girls.

* [[Megane]]: Junhyung made it a habit to wear either large, geeky glasses or [[Cool Shades]] in their earlier promotions.

** And Kikwang wears geeky glasses in their ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur7mtOA1ST4 Beautiful]'' MV when he appears as a nerdy [[New Transfer Student|transfer student]].

* [[More Than Mind Control]]: The idea behind their third mini-album ''Mastermind'' is that they're going to control and change the public's opinion of them and their music.

* [[My Nayme Is]]: B2ST is pronounced as "Beast" because in Korean, the "2" sounds like "ee". Similarly, B2UTY (their fanclub) is pronounced "Bee-uty" for the same reason.

** In ''Beast is the B2ST'', B2ST is instead pronouced as "best".

* [[My Sister Is Off Limits]]: [[Played for Laughs|Hilariously]] [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] with Hyunseung. On one of their variety shows, he told the English tutor "You give me four star, I give you beautiful younger sister." Other than that though, his [[Big Brother Instinct]] is pretty strong and he said he would only trust Yoseob with her.

* [[Neat Freak]]: Both Junhyung and Hyunseung. However, while Hyunseung is content as long as his own things are in order, Junhyung tries to keep the whole dorm clean.

** As of "Idol Maid", any attempts to keep the dorm clean seem to have been abandoned.

* [[One Head Taller]]: How Yoseob and anyone he's paired off with is portrayed.

* [[Performance Anxiety]]: Dongwoon may have experienced this in their earlier days. Pre-debut, he and Yoseob were expected to be the best entertainers of the group because they were both funny and ridiculous. Once the camera was on though, Dongwoon started clamming up instead of acting out.

* [[Pretentious Latin Motto]]: Junhyung has "Carpe diem, quam minime credula postero" tattooed on his arm. It means "Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future."

* [[Prince Charming]]: Doojoon holds the title of "Nation's Boyfriend Idol" due to his good looks, quick wit, and charitable, sensitive personality.

* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: Beast and [[Like Brother and Sister|fellow labelmate]] [[Girl Group|4Minute]] frequently attempt to make fun of each other, ranging from accusing the other of having the messier dorm to saying they're not each other's favorite [[Boy Band]]/[[Girl Group]]. It's all very light-hearted though.

* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: Doojoon and Yoseob during Beast's stint as the hosts of Inkigayo's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xhmdI24Zeg Digital] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZoXsXJjnLc Music] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80U8W8bODrQ Ranking]. The others tore them apart in their last video.

** This is also partially the reason why Doojoon was eliminated from JYPE's groups 2AM and 2PM.

** As for the members, there's Doojoon/Dujun, Junhyung/Joonhyung, Yoseob/Yoseop, and Kikwang/Gikwang.

* [[Stage Names]]: Hyunseung used to go by "SO-1", Junhyung used to go by "Poppin' Dragon", and Kikwang used to go by "AJ". Junhyung tries to go by "Joker" nowadays.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Doojoon was one of the JYP Entertainment trainees in the running to join either 2AM or 2PM, sibling boy bands collectively called One Day. He was featured in the pre-debut documentary for the group, and was cut along with two other trainees.

** Hyunseung was the only Big Bang candidate to be eliminated before the group debuted, and was also featured in a pre-debut documentary regarding the group's training.

** [http://youtu.be/tnrFR9aOPcY To be fair, the other members aren't much better], but... it's quite pronounced in Dongwoon's case.
