BEAST \ B2ST - I WAS A BACKUP DANCER (이기광)

Recently, Lee Kikwang of the valuable idol group BEAST has been brought up as a topic due to pictures of him when he was a back up dancer of Epik High.

In the pictures, Lee Kikwang has a harsh look in his eyes in his angular face that is very different from his current cute image. However, fans responded with such welcoming comments such as "So cute," "Even after peeling and peeling the layers, you're still recognizable, you're like an onion."

It is known that Lee Kikwang had previously debuted as a solo artist under the name AJ. The other BEAST members gained stage experience by performing as backup dancers for Lee Kikwang when he was AJ. But the fact that Lee Kikwang used to be a backup dancer for Epik High wasn't as well known.

BEAST won first place on music programs last December with 'Beautiful,' and they are currently preparing their next album.

BEAST \ B2ST - CANCELS??? OR NO CANCEL???

After holding an emergency meeting with Cube Entertainment on March 14th, Universal Japan has announced through their official homepage that B2ST will be debuting in Japan as scheduled, but all performances will be canceled for the time being.

On March 15th, representatives of Cube revealed, “We expected the album release to be canceled, but after a meeting with Universal Japan on the 14th, we decided that it’d be difficult for the album release to be postponed any further. Japan usually releases the albums onto the market a few days before the official release date, and B2ST’s albums were already in stores by the 11th, so we could not cancel it.”

They continued, “We can’t do anything about the release, but all performances scheduled, such as the first stage of ‘Shock‘ this weekend at the Universal Japan Studios, has been canceled.” 

Other entertainment agencies are also finding difficulties in canceling pre-scheduled promotions and releases. One representative stated, “After talking with our Japanese agencies, we’re having trouble canceling most of the schedules right now.”
