{{quote| ''"We are [[Catch Phrase|SO BEAST]]!"''}}
Beast, also stylized as [[
They were originally known for having members who have either already debuted as singers or almost did so in other groups that then went on to find fame without them. However, over time, Beast has managed to strip away the titles of the "reject group" and "recycled group" that they were originally labeled with and gain respect as excellent [[Idol Singer|idol singers]] with a penchant for [[Fan Service]] of the [[Ho Yay]] variety.
Line 27:
* [[Bishonen]]: All of them, but special mention goes to Hyunseung who is constantly compared to a girl. Much to his displeasure.
** Dongwoon definitely counts, too, even if he doesn't look girly. He's just a [http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee41/by714/B2ST/DongWoon.jpg really beautiful guy].
* [[Blatant Lies]]: In ''Shock'', Junhyung says "[[And the Adventure Continues...|This song is not over!]]". Then the song ends.
* [[Boastful Rap]]: Junhyung is usually in charge of these. They're usually very mild compare to the raps from actual rappers, but he does boast in them so it fits. It's usually only in their intro tracks that he does this though.
* [[Boy Band]]: Obviously.
Line 46:
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXxGo1MvNls Shock]'' and ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTbC1UsBtek Breath]''.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Their ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur7mtOA1ST4 Beautiful]'' MV features Junhyung, Yoseob, Kikwang, and Dongwoon as high school students despite the fact that they are all out of high school. It's not too bad of an offense though, seeing as Dongwoon just graduated that same year anyway.
* [[Deliberately Cute Child]]: Surprisingly, not Yoseob. [[I Want to Be
** Dongwoon, on the other hand, tries for this. He restrains himself in front of the camera though, and it's not sure if it's really just his true nature.
* [[Determinator]]: Doojoon decided to become a singer and even [[The Runaway|ran away from home]] because his family wouldn't take him seriously.
Line 54:
** The president of their company says that because most of the boys have gone through rejections from either the public, other groups, or other companies, they've all become this to some degree in order to prove themselves even more.
* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Yoseob, for their Mystery MV.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Hyunseung is often told this by the fans and [[Even the Guys Want Him|his own group members]]. [[I Want to Be
** In Episode 9 of their MTV Documentary:
{{quote| '''Yoseob''': Wow, Hyunseung looks so pretty. Graceful looking.<br />
Line 68:
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Each member has several:
** Doojoon: Yoon Leadah, [[Sculpted Physique|Stone Thighs]], [[I See London|Butt Doojoon]], [[Tall, Dark and Handsome|Model Doojoon]], [[Prince Charming|Nation's Boyfriend-Idol]]
** Hyunseung: [[What Beautiful Eyes!|Eye Prince]], Rancho, Seungseung, [[
** Junhyung: [[Bald of Awesome|Bald Junhyung]], Yongjun Hyung, [[Japanese Honorifics|Yon-sama]], Yongyong, [[Girls' Generation|Yongsica]], Yong Joker, [[Digimon Adventure|Tsunomon]]
** Yoseob: Seobseob, Yangyo, [[Older Than They Look|Visual Maknae]] ("youngest"), [[Keet|Pet Idol]]
** Kikwang: Kwangkwang, [[Dumb Muscle|Dumbkwang]], [[Stalker
** Dongwoon: [[Beauty Equals Goodness|Godwoon]], Arab Prince, [[Younger Than They Look|Old Man Son]], Real Maknae
* [[Fan Boy]]: Dongwoon is a very passionate fan of a singer named Narsha, to the point of crying when someone got him an autographed copy of the [[Limited Special Collectors Ultimate Edition]] of her solo album. Their onstage interactions are particularly adorable.
Line 87:
* [[The Fashionista]]: Both Junhyung and Hyunseung.
* [[Flanderization]]: Kikwang is not as [[The Ditz|stupid]] as everyone makes him out to be.
** Hyunseung isn't as [[The Woobie|depressed]] and Junhyung isn't as [[Damn, It Feels Good to Be
* [[Frozen Face]]: Hyunseung has trouble changing his facial expressions, especially when concentrating on performing. This and a lack of stage presence were the primary reasons he was cut from Big Bang.
* [[Fun
** Their track ''V.I.U.'' stands for ''Very Important U''.
* [[Fun
** Dongwoon is actually [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtV_k3lpldQ pretty decent with English]. He has demonstrated the ability to translate from English to Korean on their show "Idol Maid".
* [[Good Looking Privates]]: This was supposed to be their concept for ''Mastermind''.
** Doojoon's character in "All My Love" has him in uniform for most of his introductory episode due to having just been released from his mandatory military service.
** The promotional pictures for their first concert "Welcome to [[
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Present in both their songs and whenever they speak it on their reality shows. Junhyung is the worst offender because he helps write the lyrics and most of the bad English pops up in his raps.
* [[Halfbreed]]: Technically, none of them qualify; however, Dongwoon is noted to have extremely foreign looks for a Korean and is called the "[[Fan Nickname|Arab Prince]]" as a result.
Line 105:
** 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.
* [[Hell-Bent for Leather]]: The outfits for ''Shock''.
* [[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
* [[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.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl|Huge Guy Tiny Guy]]: Doojoon and Yoseob.
* [[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]].
** Doojoon and Dongwoon's self-composed duet ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPvCPJQF1xY When the Door Closes]'' also concerns this.
* [[Iconic Logo]]: Used on all of their promotional materials even though their name isn't officially spelled like that anymore.
Line 119:
** 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
* [[Kirk Summation]]: [[Beware the Nice Ones|Yoseob]] replied to [[Fan Dumb|fans]] who started bashing a [[Girl Group]] member when false rumors came out that [[Yoko Oh No|she]] and a Beast member would be pairing up on the [[Reality Show]] ''We Got Married'' in which [[Exactly What It Says
{{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 [[
* [[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.
Line 141:
** Kikwang too.
* [[Odd Couple]]: Doojoon and Yoseob.
* [[One Game for
* [[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.
Line 153:
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Why Kikwang was dropped from JYP Entertainment. While the head of JYPE recognized that Kikwang had talent, he realized Kikwang recognized this too. He believed that because of this attitude, Kikwang wouldn't be willing to work on improving his skills out of complacency. Giving Kikwang his first taste of failure was supposed to help him learn some humility and that there was always room for improvement. It worked in the end.
** This is also partially the reason why Doojoon was eliminated from JYPE's groups 2AM and 2PM.
* [[Spell My Name
** 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.
