Doojoon: We have debuted for 5 years in Korea and 4 years in Japan. Because we're Korean, so fans despite (living elsewhere) always look for us, or sometimes couldn't even see us, so we think a lot about it as to how to express ourselves. As such, starting from March, we hope to release a track every month, as present. This is not an easy thing to do. But having to have an independent label and all, I see this as a turning point to be closer with fans.
Junhyung: In 2015, we hope that we can invest more time to meet up with fans. I hope that many fans will enjoy the songs we will be releasing every month.
Kikwang: Kikwang desu. First of all, it's really fluttering. And that we have our own label, it felt like we have become owners and have become even more responsible. Although we have been working our best in Japan, it felt like we have to work at another level of diligence in the future too.
Hyunseung: Every year, we meet fans through mini albums or full length albums. But now that we are releasing a song per month, I think that fans may like it more. I, too, think that this is a very exciting and fun plan to go with, so I'm looking forward to it too.
Yoseob: We do feel the pressure, but as we start our label. (ask dongwoon) Laberu? *pronunciation check!* (dongwoon nods)... our label, so we're happy too.
Dongwoon: (I have no idea what he's talking because he's speaking Japanese very fast lol)
Q: Please describe 'ONE'
Junhyung: Our very first song 'ONE' is a very trendy and hip hop song. And through the lyrics, you will listen to our persistent mindset, and thus, gaining energy from the song. Therefore, we have chosen 'ONE' to be our very first track. We hope that fans will love it.
Q: What do you think changed the most?
Yoseob: Because of our label, we have learned Japanese. We will learn harder.
Kikwang: Previously, I have shot for a male's magazine.. So I have maintained my health and have come to Japan with a very healthy body.
Q: What are you doing recently?
Dongwoon: Recently, I'm studying Japanese. I've even watched many Japanese drama so to improve my Japanese.
[ARTICLE] 150318 Tiger JK “Broke the prejudice against BEAST Yong Junhyung”
Tiger JK revealed what he felt working with BEAST’s Yong Junhyung.
On the 18th, Tiger JK met with the reporters and praised Yong Junhyung on the ‘Let It Go’ featuring that he collaborated on with MFBTY.
Tiger JK said, “Working with BEAST Yong Junhyung, there were a lot of preconceived notions. Ours is an album on reinterpreting K-POP but we received a lot of questions on why we were working with idol rappers. On SNS too when asked if we couldn’t work together, we received a lot of feedback saying “the level is different”. We wanted to tear down that wall and try doing something fun together.”
He added, “We looked for people who wrote and do music so we went to ask (for collaborations). (Junhyung) pondered over it for about 20 days. He broke the preconceived notions/prejudices that we had. We saw sides of him that reinterpreted songs a different way and he kept asking “How would it be if we did it this way?”, he gave his opinion and it was enjoyable working on something that people didn’t expect.”
He also said, “There are many people we have featured but he (Junhyung) helped and advised us a lot. The original ‘Let It Go’ didn’t sound like this but because of his direction and sense, a fresh and different song was born,” showing his satisfaction.
