[News] Lee Kikwang “Does BEAST get jealous of the different popularity levels between members?”
2011.06.18
BEAST has risen as one of the best male idol groups through their first official album “Fiction&Fact”. They swept 1st place on cable and public broadcasting music shows, achieving triple crowns. They have also been receiving many love calls from variety shows.
The individual members’ activities are that pronounced. Lee Kikwang is an MC on KBS2TV “WinWin” while Yoon Doojoon is an actor in MBC “All My Love”. Yang Yoseob as the team’s lead vocal, showed off his vocals in KBS 2TV “Freedom Declaration – Immortal Classics 2”
Since each member has prominent individual activities, there can only be a division between the more popular members and less popular members. With this, there are suspicions of awkwardness and conflict between members. If you follow the unconfirmed rumours, in one idol group, there are conflicts within the group because of popularity level differences.
However BEAST was wise. Before any conflicts came up, they resolved things through conversation. Lee Kikwang said “As BEAST gets more popular, there are more individual member activities and I believe there can be members who are more popular and less popular. Because we are human, I feel that we can get jealous and upset because of this. So, beforehand, we decided ‘Let’s not get jealous, upset or fight because of popularity difference.” You cannot help but think that, for male idols who are in their early 20s, they’re very thoughtful.
In real life, BEAST prevents conflicts and shares ideas through many conversations. Because of this, they can only have close relationships with each other. Through this they have good team work and have successfully gained a lot of popularity.
BEAST is now concluding their promotions in Korea and is planning to promote in Japan.
