MTV is currently nurturing 6 member boy group ‘B2ST -Pronounced 'Best'- (Boys to Search for Top - 보이즈 투 서치 포 탑) through Star Documentary Reality.

This coming September, this boy group will debut with 'Dancing Shoes', promising a magnificent performance and great vocal talent. Joining the line-up is rising star AJ (Ace Junior), who is dubbed "the second Rain" of the group.

With their debut coming real soon, these boys had undergone strenuous training. They are also in the process of recording their song, going to MV sites and showcases, and preparing for the MTV filming.

Cannot be seen twice, this boy group's debut image could be viewed on the broadcasting on Sunday the 23rd of August in the afternoon at 3pm.


Lee Ki Kwang, better known as solo singer AJ. Because of controversies, he will be changing his stage name which has yet to be announced by his management. There has been news that he will be included in the cast for the second season of popular sitcom "High Kick."

Yang Yoseob. He has the least information out right now 'cause I'm too lazy to hunt. All that is known is that he is a back-up dancer for AJ. I also heard he was an M.Boat trainee.

Son Dong Woon (1991.06.06), the final member (and 'mature-looking' maknae) of the group. He's been a part of JYP as a trainee for quite a long while. Boy has good taste in music (his cyworld told me♥) and makes me assume that the new boy band will have a similar sound to 'Wiping the Tears.' Very little formal information is known other than his birthday (which is at least a step-up from Yoseob).

I'm so excited! :D Now I'm just waiting for Dae Hun & Lee Min. R&B duo plis JYPe. -dies-

WOW. Poppin' Dragon? OMFG this is gonna be epic, I love Xing SFM ♥ and that Dongwoon kid looks adorable. lol.

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

It's Hyun Seung! ngl, he was okay I'm glad he was cut from Big Bang (he wasn't a very good singer or dancer imo). Though I wonder how he feels whenever he sees them on TV or something.

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

*he was okay but

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

DooJoon & HyunSeung are going to be in a documentary again, except THIS TIME, they won't get rejected! Woohoo!!!

[polyurethane.livejournal.com]

That Yoseob kid is so adorable.

Please don't tell me he's like fifteen or something. :/

[daehunf.livejournal.com]

His age is unknown right now. LOL so he could be. He has a chipmunk face that you just wanna pinch. But he definitely looks like the maknae, I'd be surprised otherwise.

[no-genre.livejournal.com]

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

How many times is AJ gonna debut this year?

[daehunf.livejournal.com]

TWO. That's the 2 in the B2ST. all of them debuted 2 times LOL.

[des-akazim.livejournal.com]

let's hope their pasts stay where they belong, in the past. B) I feel bad that some members get bombarded with the groups they were in/almost in (exhibit A: Hyun A)

[fauxflair.livejournal.com]

q: so are they going to debut under cube or jyp?

but finally, some testosterone! exciiiited 8)

[daehunf.livejournal.com]

Cube.

But Cube is like the son of JYPE. So they're still under that, it's just that they're gonna be managed by Cube.

[labobo93.livejournal.com]

He likes 'black' music?
Fail.

[krispy-bacon.livejournal.com]

I loled at that.

OT but in Japan they called Big Bang's music "black music" and I loled then too. Gotta love asia and their political correctness fail.

[krispy-bacon.livejournal.com]

So...they're gunna remake AJ's song? What? D:

In any case, I'm excited for their debut. 8D SO-1<33

[daehunf.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure of that.

[hater-traitor.livejournal.com]

i lol'd irl when i read that.

[epik.livejournal.com]

their gonna debut with the song dancing shoes?
isn't that aj's song?

[daehunf.livejournal.com]

Yes

[blooberrie.livejournal.com]

YES NEW BOY BAND. hurray for some testosteronnnne

[dominique-franc.livejournal.com]

yea -_-
I think it has to deal with how black artists' music has been referred to especially during the 50's and 60's "race" music meaning black music/urban

even though the music is a certain genre like rock and roll (ehem chuck berry) it suddenly becomes different when a black artist does it

it still makes me cringe

[zenfu.livejournal.com]

Poppin' Dragon and Hyunseung?

I think I just died and went to heaven.

[hater-traitor.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one who thinks it's funny that TOP's real name is Seung Hyun, Seungri's real name is Seung Hyun and SO-1's (who was also originally part of Big Bang) real name is Hyun Seung?

[labobo93.livejournal.com]

That's cool lol.
I think that way about SS501 too.
Hyun Joong and Hyung Joon

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

How do you pronounce B2ST?? (like "best"?)
Or we just say B-2-S-T?

Either way, I don't really like the name. XD (but we got no choice but to get used to it)

[zenfu.livejournal.com]

......my mind just want to change it to "Beast".

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

i just hope they don't make it all about AJ.

[krispy-bacon.livejournal.com]

Kinda like what they're already doing. D: Remaking his song and stuff. I hope that's as far as it goes since they're all redebuting practically.

[fraash.livejournal.com]

they ish so sexy,

[beebz-x.livejournal.com]

ikr, & that's all that matters.
Even if they weren't sexy, AJ's sexiness is enough for me.
