In this article, we introduce a series of moving hit songs born along their journey from their 2009 debut, through BEAST, and into Highlight.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The title track from the 5th mini-album “Lights Go On Again,” released in May 2012, whose music video—shot in New York—became a hot topic.

It’s an electronic track that evokes a man on a midsummer night gazing up at the sky with the girl he loves, wishing the moment could last forever.

Thanks to each of the six members’ unique sensibilities, you can fully enjoy six distinct vocal colors.

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.

A cool dance number by BEAST that portrays a protagonist drawn in and bewildered by a lover’s inexplicable behavior—frustrating yet irresistibly attractive! With its catchy electro sound and a melody that sticks in your head after just one listen, many people find themselves wanting to play it over and over.

The lyrics, which seem to ask, “Who on earth are you?” capture both the thrill and the poignancy of romantic mind games, shaking you to the core.

This track is included on their debut EP, “Beast Is the B2ST,” released in October 2009, an EP that drew major attention by selling out its initial 20,000 copies immediately.
