B2ST’s Yoseob recentlyreprimanded the group’s sasaeng fans for their irresponsible behavior via a meaningful tweet.
On February 24th, he wrote, “Sasaeng fans, if you really want to scribble that much, please do it on our car instead… It’s public property… We feel really sorry to our neighbors in the apartment. Hmm.. I better go clean everything off after I treat my sty.”
He included a picture of a fan’s scribble on the wall, which read, “Wrap up Junhyung“.
Netizens commented, “Yang Yoseob’s respectful tweet,” “Yoseob always sets actions straight, even if they are his fans!,” and “Let’s wake up, sasaeng fans~”
Yoseob previously earned the respect of netizens for speaking out on behalf of Rainbow’s Jaekyung, who was being attacked by B2ST fans for rumors of a possible “We Got Married” appearance with a B2ST member.
Is it possible for the members of B2ST to make an embarrassing facial expression?
On February 24th, leader Doojoon shared photos of himself with Junhyung and Dongwoon wandering the streets at night. He wrote,“We really walked around till we had no regrets… The remaining three passed out back at the hotel…”
Despite their attempts to make ‘bizarre’ facial expressions, fans were reluctant to believe that the members could look anything but cute.
They wrote, “Did you take that picture to try to be funny? So cute!,” “I like whatever you do~,” and “If you keep walking around late at night, the nunas will capture you!”
B2ST’s Doojoon and Kikwang recently transformed into news anchors for a fun "BREAKING NEWS" parody in order to raise hype for A Cube Entertainment’s upcoming girl group, A Pink.
In the video, Doojoon states, “This is breaking news. A Cube’s rookie girl group has been headlining for days now. Just who are they, and why are they dominating the search rankings? Let’s turn to Lee Kikwang for further details.”
Kikwang continues, “The entire situation began when an internet article about a naming competition for A Cube’s rookie girl group first went up. The fact that the competition is heating up proves that they’ve definitely earned the attention.”
After introducing how to participate, they exclaim, “Everything will be revealed through channel Trendy!”
Kikwang then turns to Doojoon and laughs while stating, “I already saw them at our agency.“ Doojoon asks back, “Are they pretty? Pretty?”
A Pink is currently scheduled to be revealed on a day next month, and they recently unveiled three of the seven members through various B2ST featurings and photo teasers.
On February 23rd, Cube Entertainment labelmates, B2ST and 4minute, together with Supernova, walked the runway for esteemed Japanese wedding fashion designer, Yumi Katsura, for her “2011 Paris Grand Collection in Tokyo” event.

Along with the major Japanese press agencies, such as Asahi TV, Nihon TV, and others, over 8,000 audience members were present for this event.

Yang Yoseob’s kind heart has impressed his fans once again, after it was discovered that he had personally replied to a fan who was recently diagnosed with a vocal cord nodule.
On February 21st, the B2ST member wrote on his Twitter, “Vocal cord nodules are a frequent occurrence to people who sing!”
That was the direct reply to a message left by his fan, who was also an aspiring singer. The fan’s message read, “B2ST Yoseob, I’m very sick right now. What do I do.”
The fan added that she had visited a hospital and received an official diagnosis for her vocal cord nodule. The fan wrote, “I went to the hospital today and saw my throat’s condition directly for myself. It was scary. The reality is very scary”. Alone and scared, she admitted that she had even wanted to jump in front of a passing car.
Yoseob said, “When I was first diagnosed with a vocal cord nodule, I thought like that too! But just think of that nodule as hardened skin over the vocal cords! It means you’ve practiced a lot. People who practice as hard as that end up becoming successful.”
He continued, “Since I have a lot of singers around me, I’ve seen some who even went into surgery for it. But after the surgery, they comfortably started singing again. So don’t worry too much, and I hope you go to a big hospital and receive a correct diagnosis. Have strength!”
The fan then replied to Yoseob’s message with, “Just like you said, I’ll start singing comfortably again. I’ll show you an awesome image, rather than my hurt image.”

Dongwoon continued, “Because either way, we were recycled and are now B2ST.. but we were most worried about our fans being hurt by it.
A year later, they overcame all obstacles and took home their first music program win. They exclaimed, “We cried a lot, more than you could imagine. There was a nice weight to the trophy..”

Idol group BEAST’s Yang Yoseob revealed his weight.
Yang Yoseob recently participated in the New Year’s special MBC “Youth Variety Bouquet” which was filmed in Kyeong-Gi Do Ilsan MBC Dream Centre. There he revealed his weight to be 57kg.
This day, for a quiz game, Yang Yoseob had to piggyback the nunas(?) of the ‘Lady Generation’ team and he joked, saying he was tired. After this, while the topic of weight was going around, Yang Yoseob eventually revealed his weight.
The female participants who were suddenly embarrassed knowing that Yang Yoseob’s weight was in the 50kg range said “To be honest, his weight is not much different from ours” and laughed a horse laugh. However, Yang Yoseob, seemingly unaffected by this, loafed around the studio, attracting attention once more.

Gagman Kim Kyung Jin, who once gained interest as the “perfect son” for receiving straight A+ grades in school, was recently picked by T-ara’s Jiyeon as her ideal man.
During a recent recording of KBS 2TV’s “100 Points out of 100″, T-ara’s Soyeon asked Jiyeon if there was anyone on the set that she liked. In order to find Jiyeon’s ideal man, the MCs asked a set of questions to the male cast, including Lee Suk Hoon, B2ST’s Yoseob, MBLAQ’s Lee Joon, and Supreme Team’s Simon D.
In particular, when Jiyeon gave her opinion on whether there was anything unique about each of the male cast members, she stated that Yoseob’s unique point was how much he talked about himself. Yoseob made a huge fuss in response, causing the whole set to burst into laughter.
After persistent questioning, Jiyeon finally picked her ideal man – Kim Kyung Jin. Jiyeon stated, “When I watch the programs that Kim Kyung Jin comes out on, I always thought his cuteness and frank image were charming.” The rest of the cast were utterly baffled by her choice and could not believe he was her true ideal man.
