oh my God, oh my God! I am literally shaking & crying so hard, it makes me look like a better dancer than Lady GaGa. no, it is not because that bitch suddenly realise that she is not worthy of being around after Madonna premier her new video or that Britney Spears decided to go to the gym to build up her 6 packs again, but it is simply because 6 heavenly god that descended to the Earth to slay us with their amazing vocals and awesome dancing has scored their 1st #1 in the GAON chart. yes stupid bitches, I am talking about my #1 favorite boy band of all time and time after, B2ST. the band has scored their 1st #1 with their new digital single "I Knew It". and the most awesome part of it, the single debut at #3 on K-Pop Billboard 100.
*fall into a deep coma*
*fall into a deep coma*
this week marked another history in the bands' long-list of achievements and amazing success. I Knew It topped the GAON chart and becoming their 1st ever #1 on the chart despite last year their epic and flawless song "Fiction" has been snatching wigs all over the year. crazy right? to make it even crazier, the song hasn't even been promoted in any music program. it is simply release as a promotion to promote their world tour (Beautiful Show) and their eventual 2nd full-length album.
the amazing ballad filled with the sounds of heaven of the boys colorful voices managed to top so many various onlie music sites, eventually leading the band to score and all-kill in the music charts across Asia. plus, the music video, which is simple and beautiful that shows the acting talent of the band's maknae, Dong Woon, helps to pull the song even further on the chart. the band stated that there will be more digital singles to come as they embark on their world tour. there has already been a teaser of the mext digital single as the follow-up to I Knew It. beastofficial, the official YouTube channel of the band uploaded a teaser of Jun Hyung digital single "Living Without You". from what it seems, it is gonna be another hit for the band.
B2ST is truly an amazing band. they have
achieved so many, in such a short year. they managed to beat 2PM (on of the big
4 in K-Pop) on M!Net music countdown only after 161 days debuting into the scene. this is considered a
huge achievement as they were only a rookie by that time and 2PM is HUGE. not only that, they are the first
ever rookie band that managed to sell 100,000+ copies of their mini-album after
1 year. no band ever scored that number. plus, only after a year in the biz,
the band has already have their own headlining concert, "Welcome to the Beast
Airline", which came
to favourable reviews. trust me, I downloaded the tour DVD
illegally from the internet and the tour was awesome, they dance and they
sing live. it is almost like I am watching the Big Show of Big Bang. since the tour is so successful
and the crowds want more, it is only reasonable to have a follow-up concert, "Welcome Back to the Beast
Airline" to a
massive crowd for 2 days.
2011 was also a huge year for the band,
not only for the success of their follow up concert, but also the release of
their 1st full-length album, "Fact
& Fiction". the lead
single "Fiction" was considered one of the biggest hit that
year, killing all music programs and snatching wigs on the chart. plus, the
song was named "Song of The Year" in the KBS Music Program and also
in the M!Net Music Countdown. what turned out to be a surprise form the album
is one of my favorite tracks of the band's entire discography, the single
"On Rainy Days", which saw a huge success despite being
released only as a digital single to further promote the album. considering the
success of the album, the management of the band, Cube Ent. decided to promote
the song on music program where the boys perform on the stage as artificial
raining fall on them.
plus, the band also named "Artist of
the Year" even when they are only 1 year old, a huge achievement that only
can be achieved by the likes of the legendary Wonder
Girls. and for last year, the
album "Fact and Fiction" out-sold
the almighty Big Bang mini-album.
AWESOME.
B2ST has come a very long, long way.
during their debut, the band was faced with so many criticism, calling them a recycle band as 4 members
of the band was previously a "reject" of the music scene. Du Jun was
eliminated to debut with 2AM, Hyun Seung failed to be included with the
almighty Big Bang, Gi Kwang was a flop solo artist, and Jun Hyung was also in a
forgettable band, Xing.
however, they managed to silenced their
critics by producing a new wave of sound in K-Pop. with every new release, the
band come up with new sounds; unlike some other band who use the same formula
over and over again such as the so-annoyingly-stupid Super Junior with their Sorry Sorry Vol. 1 - Vol. 3. boring! the single "Shock" was truly the one that catapult
the band into the global music scene. the single is truly a fresh air,
combining rock & electronic on a very addictive melody, not to mention the
flawless choreography. since then, there is no turning back for the band.
this is the song that made me go head over heels with the band. true story.
there are so many boy bands out there in
the world of K-Pop but no band ever really touched the level of success of the Big 4: the almighty Big Bang, the amazing TVXQ, the oh-so-cool 2PM, and the I-don't-really-give-a-fuck-about-this-band Super Junior. but now, everyone seems to be
talking that B2ST is the one to heir their throne. and trust me, I think B2ST
already snatched the wig outta 2PM and Super Junior big heads. with
humongous popularity in Korea, as well as Japan and across the globe, B2ST is
definitely on the right track to become the legendary bands such as those 4.
what sets them a part from the other bands
is that this band can sing. seriously,
like I'm not even kidding. usually, we all see how K-Pop boyband always put out
the same dancy numbers and amazed us with their more than epic choreography.
but with B2ST, we are not only served with that aspect, but we also witness how
this band can actually belt a tune. the 6 different members on the band has 6
different vocal colors that actually sounded good altogether. I've seen so many
live performances of them (via YouTube of course) and oh yeah, they can sing
live. Ki Kwang is a soloist before, no doubt he can sing. Hyun Seung always
deliver as the main vocalist of the band. Du Jun, the leader who sings ballad
amazingly. Dong Woon who is the most improved also can sing wonderfuly. and Yo
Seop, need I say more? if you haven't seen this kid sings live and blow your
mind away, then you are not worth living at all. even the rapper Jun Hyung can
sing.
for sure, there is so much more to come
from this band. they are only a little more than 2 years in the biz but they
have achieved so many level of success that their seniors can only dream off.
trust me, one day B2ST will stand tall as the biggest thing that happened in
the Asia, since the invention of chopstick. the only thing that pisses me
off is that they call their official fan-club as "B2UTY". isn't that
sound cliché? B2UTY &
THE B2ST. urghhh.
I think, it is time for us to call it the
Big 5 in K-Pop boyband, adding B2ST into the list of the biggest boy band in
K-Pop. or let's just call it the Big 3: Big Bang, TVXQ, and B2ST since 2PM is
flopping already and Super Junior is just so stupid and annoying, they are
irrelevant to mention.
B2ST, hwaiting!
