Q. The names (magazine & BEAST) have the same pronunciation.
All: Wow~~
DuJun: 美ST readers, I think most of you won't know us but I wish you will gain some interest in us with our review here, and through that your life might be more enjoyable (laugh). Thank you.
Q. The gap between your normal atmosphere and the powerful show on stage is charming.
JunHyung: Even if it's an important concert, we don't try to think too much of it. Because we get on stage as one member of a team, I think it's necessary to leave our self behind for a moment and put the team first.
GiKwang: Because we each have a role, a responsibility.
HyunSeung: I think that the potential in oneself will create a power on stage.
Q. When does your switch (energy) get turned on?
HyunSeung: On the corridor from the waiting room to the stage.
YoSeop: I play around with the members in the waiting room because I don't think it's good to keep quiet (while waiting). But on stage, I am very strict to myself.
DongWoon: YoSeobie hyung is normally cute but on stage he turns sexy (laughs).
DuJun: I think when we do image training and the six of us get together to shout "fighting!", that's when we become BEAST.
Q. JunHyung makes the songs and they're all good songs.
JunHyung: Ah, thank you.
YoSeop: The songs JunHyung makes are good but the lyrics are literally beautiful. That's why like seasoning, I concentrate on singing it well so the music can become more alive.
Q. GiKwang also composes and write lyrics.
GiKwang: I'm trying to make a song that many people can easily sympathize with. Love is something that you can't take out from human.
All: Wow~~!
GiKwang: (laughs) I wish to express the emotions and love between a man and woman well. Writing lyrics is similar to drawing a picture, as it can happen to myself, be easy to imagine, or think about if I was the song's main character.
Q. You're in your 6th year since debut in Korea.
DongWoon: We're doing our best right now too (laughs). New singers are debuting so we wish to put in more effort so that we won't lose (to them).
DuJun: I think we need to look back and have time to think as a bit of time has passed for us and we can think about things with some time spare.
GiKwang: Being able to self-produce is also our pride. I think being able to sing songs and choreograph to the dance we wish to dance by respecting each other's opinions, being one at heart and enjoy on stage is our strength. Because we think there are still stairs that we can walk up more, we wish to do our best in all areas.
Q. Any other last comments?
DuJun: No, most of us are quiet/reserved so, I think this is good (laughs)
