BEAST (Highlight) Greatest Songs | A Comprehensive Selection from Mega Hits to the Newest Tracks (1–10)
Beautiful NightNEW!BEAST
BEAST is a skilled group that captivates with a wide range of styles.
They debuted in 2009 with the mini-album “Beast Is The B2ST,” and their hybrid musicality—mastering everything from intense dance tracks to poignant mid-tempo songs—is a key draw.
At the 2011 Melon Music Awards, they won a top-tier grand prize, and at the Mnet Asian Music Awards they earned the Performance Award for their classic track “Fiction.” After overcoming a long hiatus and reclaiming their former name, they continue their activities today as HIGHLIGHT.
They’re a group highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience refined performances and deep storytelling.
FictionBEAST
Released in May 2011, this is the title track from BEAST’s first full-length Korean album, “Fiction and Fact.” It tells the story of a man who can’t forget his ex-girlfriend and writes a “fiction” novel about the two of them in his heart.
In the novel they are happy together, but it’s nothing more than fiction… To capture the song’s profound sensibility, an orchestral version was also included.
How about you?BEAST
The sixth single, released in Japan in November 2014.
Yong Junhyung, a member who writes and composes many of BEAST’s Korean songs, drew attention for taking on the challenge of writing and composing a Japanese-language track for this song.
It’s an upbeat tune with the catchy refrain, “Kimi wa dou?” (“How about you?”) that sticks in your head.
ShockBEAST
Before their debut, BEAST were even called a “recycled idol” group because some members were already active.
The work that swept away that label and made them famous was Shock, released in March 2010.
With the Japanese version of the song of the same name, they made their debut in Japan and set the record for the highest-ever debut single ranking for an Asian group outside Japan.
The song portrays a man tormented because he cannot forget his ex-girlfriend.
BeautifulBEAST
The title track from the 4th mini album “Lights Go On Again,” released in November 2010.
It’s a confession song from a man who honestly expresses his feelings to the woman he loves.
With its bright and charming sound, this track warms listeners’ hearts and fills them with happiness.
AdrenalineBEAST
Their fifth single overall, released in Japan in May 2014.
As their second original Japanese single, it debuted at No.
2 on the Oricon Daily Singles Chart.
Produced by agehasprings, the track showcases a powerfully masculine image as portrayed in the lyrics, offering fans a strong new side of the group despite the challenges they faced communicating with the Japanese staff.
More than you thinkBEAST
A track included on BEAST’s best-of album BEAST JAPAN BEST, released in September 2014, which compiles their Japanese songs.
The song was produced by the Japanese creator team agehasprings, who also teamed up with the group on the Japanese single Adrenaline released in May.
The lyrics—“You’re the only one for me, I want you to need me”—leave listeners with a lingering sense of heartache.
