Kim Hyun Joong and Beast Manila Concert on June 19

[mrskwonjiyong.livejournal.com]

Pinoy K-Pop lovers rejoice! Korean Wave or Hallyu is definitely sweeping across the country like storm.

 And the K-Pop fever in Manila is expected to reach a feverish 38°C as Korea’s hottest idol Kim Hyun Joong is coming to Manila together with Korean boy group BEAST for a concert titled “K-Pop Meets P-Pop: Kim Hyun Joong and Beast Live in Manila” at the Araneta Coliseum on June 19, 7pm.
 
Kim Hyun Joong is famous in the Philippines for his role as Yoon Ji Hoo, the calm and charismatic gentleman of F4, in the hit Korean drama series "Boys Over Flowers." BEAST is one of the most prominent Korean boy groups that captured the hearts of fans with their oozing talents and chart-topping hits.
 
Kim Hyun Joong is also active in his singing career as the leader of SS501 which debuted in Korea in 2005. Their songs such as "Snow Prince," "Fighter," "Déjà Vu," "A Song Calling For You" and "Love Like This" received so much love and support from their fans both in Korea and abroad.
 
In fact, despite language barriers, Filipinos love to sing their songs "Because I’m Stupid" and "Making A Lover" which are included in the "Boys Over Flowers" OST. Their song "Love Like This" is steadily climbing its way to the top of the MYX Chart. It is currently placed on Number 8 on the MYX Hit Chart (May 23 – 29) and Number 7 on the MYX International Top 20 (May 22 - 28).
 
BEAST is composed of Doo Joon, Hyun Seung, Jun Hyung, Yo Seob, Gi Kwang and Dong Woon. The members’ musical and dancing prowess proved to be the group’s greatest strength - Doo Joon (leader, vocalist and rapper), Hyun Seung (vocalist, lead dancer), Jun Hyung (main rapper, vocalist), Yo Seob (main vocalist), Gi Kwang (lead vocalist, main dancer) and Dong Woon (vocalist).
 
BEAST means Boys of the East Standing Tall. Their albums include "Beast Is The B2ST" and "Shock Of The New Era." Their popular songs are "Bad Girl," "Mystery," "Shock" and "Special."
 
Although they only debuted last year, BEAST has already earned awards like the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism: Rookie Music Award, Cyworld Digital Music Awards: Rookie of the Month ("Mystery") and 19th Seoul Music Awards: Best Newcomer Award.
 
The songs from their second mini-album "Shock Of The New Era" were strong contenders in the Korean music chart. "Shock" was Number 1 on Cyworld's Music Realtime chart. Their other songs were also on various music charts like "Take Care of My Girlfriend" (Say No) was Number 10, "Just Before Shock" was Number 13, “Easy” was Number 14 and “Special” was Number 19.
 
“K-Pop Meets P-Pop: Kim Hyun Joong and Beast Live in Manila” is produced by Underwood Plan and Viva Concerts and Events. The concert is for the benefit of Abiertas House of Friendship - for the benefit of young mothers.

[mls-addxn.livejournal.com]

I'm happy and not happy :|

Happy that BEAST is coming but wtf organizers at their fail organizing :|

Still want to go though ;o;

[orangejuice14.livejournal.com]

Noooo. Why couldn't it be July 19 when I'll actually be in the Philippines! D:
I hope someone will hold some kinda concert or event when I'm there.

[v-artemis.livejournal.com]

No! I cant go.... TT__TT
I so wanna see Beast!

[hydeified.livejournal.com]

Kim Hyun Joong performing by himself without his bandmates?

[cellophaneroses.livejournal.com]

My guess is that he'll just do BOF-related stuff, like he did when he was promoting BOF in Japan (at least I think that's what it was xD)

[twistedhalo04.livejournal.com]

I'm mourning the fact that I can't go.

GDI Viva this is fail organizing. Announcing 19 days before the concert!! And you expect us to pull money out of thin air. kajsdkajs

[still-doll-15.livejournal.com]

WHAT?????????? omg! *dies* I soooo want to go!!!

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

SUNBAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[katiewenchh.livejournal.com]

LOL THIS

[merylsuki.livejournal.com]

im really disappointed with this.. seriously? araneta again? they just promoted this event last week!! what makes them think that they can fill araneta in three weeks promotion??

im worried for the boys.. really..

[convolution.livejournal.com]

Not happy =_=
A little over two weeks for promotions? D: I wonder if these organizers even thought about it before going with this D: How do they expect fans to get money that fast?

(Eff man, I want to see DooJoon again so bad. But I'm really unprepared for this ><)

[jongsica.livejournal.com]

i don't think i can go to the concert but i'll just stalk them

[whore-ish.livejournal.com]

I want to go even if I have to stay in the General Admission but I'm saving my money for the release of Bonamana this June also :(

And organizers! Please don't be so ambitious. Even if Hyun Joong would be there I doubt people would have enough money with school just about to start. And Araneta? Really? Haven't they learned anything from the UKiss concert?

And what does K-Pop meets P-pop mean? XLR8? Pop Girls? OMFG.

[yukwol.livejournal.com]

LOL YES XLR8 AND POPGIRLS

[kmrawr.livejournal.com]

So is Hyunjoong singing alone? o__o

OMFG BEAST NO FAIR. AIULWETHL AIUWETH LIUTHLAIUWNH;;ASDFGHJKL;' /dead. i didn't get enough of them at kmf ;_;

[kmrawr.livejournal.com]

and araneta? holy crap, i'll feel so bad if the seats aren't filled. which is what's going to happen because PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MONEY RIGHT NOW.

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

This :(

[invalidreality.livejournal.com]

LOL IRL "for the benefit of young mothers"
I know it's for a legit organization, it just sounds like it's a concert specifically done for them ahaha.
btw it's really strange that Hyun Joong is headlining and not BEAST. whut.

and gdi why are these things happening when I'm not in the Philippines anymore TT_TT

[rabu-ponchi.livejournal.com]

Omo! My niece is gonna be pissed. She doesn't get back until June 24th. Crazy B2ST fan right there.

[candyapplegirls.livejournal.com]

I only want to see Kim Hyun Joong and Kikwang. >_>

[sloopupside.livejournal.com]

Omggg I might cry, i'm leaving the Philippines on the 19th :(:(:(

[gogoparty.livejournal.com]

well that's an odd combination :l

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

i'm jeals.... i want some beast..longer than 2 songs. blah blah

[shiki0014.livejournal.com]

this is really ridiculous i think
June 14 will be UKISS concert then 5 days later this will happen
fail organization is fail! and once again it is araneta
why are they that brave to go for araneta? D:
its really really really hard to sell that much since this is really a short notice and its expensive OTL

but then I might go :P

so much for compplaining lol

[hyperstreak.livejournal.com]

I was just thinking of the same thing..

ANO BA ITO!!?? MAGULO.

not that I can go ..I'm in Southern California..Besides I've seen Beast already

The UKISS show would have been fun though

[shiki0014.livejournal.com]

right!
super gulo ==
well, i would love to see BEAST but it will depend on my friends
and i would still put UKISS on priority XDD

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

its really really really hard to sell that much since this is really a short notice and its expensive OTL

Totally. Why can't they take do what PULP did for SS2 had 3 months (or 4. Whatever.) preparation time?

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

*they do

[shiki0014.livejournal.com]

well as far as i see it PULP is a way better organizer then PEP
it seems that PEP was mesmerized by the success of SS2
and maybe they think that same thing would happen

i am a fan of SuJu, UKISS and BEAST
but am afraid to say SuJu wasn't really able to fill the araneta
what more if its UKISS and BEAST? i doubt they can fill it with such a short notice ;_;

[cher-ex3.livejournal.com]

GDI, the Philippines is getting everyone!! TT_TT

[nisenchi.livejournal.com]

WHY DOES THE U-KISS CONCERT AND B2ST CONCERT HAVE TO BE ON THE SAME WEEK? TT
I doubt my mom`ll allow me 2 concerts a week! FML. :( But I really really wanna watch. AJ~~~ ;A; </3

[neyoismad.livejournal.com]

K, so, what happened to the U-kiss Concert again??


Damn producers are suicidal nowadays

[scrambledtoast.livejournal.com]

i love beast and sunbae, but i would rather save up for super show 3 (if there will be one in the future) :P

[jamietherese.livejournal.com]

i hate to say it but NO!!!!! i just wasted all (well not all but i just a lot of money!) on that u-kiss concert AND THEN U CAME?!
pls be changed to mall tour D:

[yukwol.livejournal.com]

BABY ON THE 14TH.
LEADER ON THE 19TH.
WHY NOT BRING THE WHOLE SS501 INSTEAD? /SOBS

FUCK THOSE ORGANIZERS.

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

Are you serious? Do they expect to fill the whole Araneta? IT'S JUNE 2 GDI. U-KISS IS ON THE 14TH. Just WHERE do they think the fans will pull their money from? I, for one, know that I won't be able to watch B2ST if I watch U-KISS or vice versa.

[cassislabill.livejournal.com]

ONLY KIM HYUN JOONG?
UKISS ALREADY HAS A HUGE FAN BASE IN THE PHILIPPINES BUT BEAST AND KIM HYUN JOONG? I DOUBT IF THEY CAN FILL UP ARANETA. AND TO HOLD THE CONCERT THE SAME WEEK AS UKISS? THAT'S A GAMBLE. THEY SHOULD HAVE VISITED AND HAD MALL SHOWS BEFORE GOING FOR SOMETHING BIG LIKE THIS.

[penipenpen.livejournal.com]

good news right?! but for most of filipino fans, this isn't.
I AGREE WITH THIS BIGTIME.
PINOY FANGIRLS ARE NOW POOR.

As much as we want our biases to come here.. PLEASE, LEARN TO HAVE SOME INTERVALS.. PRODUCERS. NOT ALL FANGIRLS ARE RICH AS EVER. even if this event is for a cause... D:

[penipenpen.livejournal.com]

AND YEAH. THIS FALLS ON THE SAME WEEK AS UKISS' CONCERT.
What a great way to pull out money from the fangirls, producers. Props to you. D:

[addictine.livejournal.com]

OMG GMA... they fail XD

[akame-koi.livejournal.com]

U-KISS CON WOULD STILL BE MY PRIORITY.
though I would love to see AJ's abs personally~! XD

[izon-no-niwa.livejournal.com]

I don't really want to comment because this is just so disappointing, but damn.

[runswithmonkies.livejournal.com]

;~; i'll be flying in to the philippines on june 17. D8

I HOPE TO GOD MY FAMILY STAYS IN MANILA FOR AT LEAST 2/3 DAYS. T_T <3

[cryssybloom.livejournal.com]

I WANNA BE THERE! ;_________;

[kaiweasley.livejournal.com]

I'm embarrassed because I'm SURE the place won't get filled at all. :x
