B2ST talks about MBLAQ Competition and Believes They're on top.

[jonghyunf.livejournal.com]

B2ST’s members have expressed their feelings about their popularity compared to MBLAQ, who debuted around the same period.

The members of B2ST showed their sociable sides on the July 20th episode of MBC’s “Radio Star”.

Upon the question of comparing their popularity to that of MBLAQ, the members expressed their honest thoughts stating, “As of now, we think we’re above them”.

B2ST’s leader Doojoon honestly shared his thoughts stating, “In the beginning, we were way behind MBLAQ during our debut period. We felt pathetic compared to MBLAQ at the time, to the point where we even thought of finding something else to do for a living”.

Doojoon continued, “We also envied the ultimate backing that MBLAQ had from Rain“.

The members of B2ST ended with, “But when we’re not active, we think we’re below MBLAQ. I think the two teams are always competing with each other”, sharing their good intentions about the friendly competition between the two groups.

I'm sorry Doojoon but I'd choose diqcheese over smokedols any day!!

he speaks the truth. idk, beast seems to get a fair amount of hate in the ifandom but in korea people definitely seem to like them better and that's what matters *kanyeshrug*

though i do wish they'd just avoided the question because there's no point in rubbing your success in someone else's face.

I don't think Ifandom really hates. Ifandom has phases. We just follow the moon except it's for bands and such I suppose. Look at Hyuna's rollercoaster ifandom love. That was something and the all package in less than a month.

Yep

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Bring on the fanwank.

People are going to love to stir shit from this.

[simpleandpink.livejournal.com]

So I'm kind of obsessed with reading ASOIAF and you are just kind of enabling that bringing GoT GIFs all the time into your posts, js LOLLL ily for it tho <3

[luxelet.livejournal.com]

I remember when both groups came out I liked them both and was so conflicted over which one I liked more. Than MBLAQ opened their mouths/personalities on TV shows while Beast came out with consistently great singles and great promotion techniques and the battle was done for me, LOL.

[p-jae.livejournal.com]

This, basically.

[dandanfung.livejournal.com]

lololol no. just no.

[noop12.livejournal.com]

I'm fan of both .. but I like BEAST more =)

[jsham89.livejournal.com]

Why create open competition? The answer was so unprofessional~ I really can't stand it when they're compared.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

I fail to see how it is unprofessionnal. And I don't mean this aggressively or anything.

[chraka.livejournal.com]

...i feel like beast is a bit ahead

[suzieeq-luv.livejournal.com]

mte. will never understand the argument about someone working harder than the other.
nothing comes easy.

[anthonymarie.livejournal.com]

"We felt pathetic compared to MBLAQ at the time, to the point where we even thought of finding something else to do for a living”.

Wow.........

[xoxoknlove.livejournal.com]

You know how B2ST is, always playing the sympathize-for-me card.

[simpleandpink.livejournal.com]

This whole thing should be so dramafree, I cannot believe there is so much wank.
He was only saying that at the moment, BEAST was more popular (no duh, they were promoting at the time and MBLAQ was not).

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Kpop fandom practically lives for wank tbh ^^. I'm not even mad.

[shineesbright.livejournal.com]

"Believes" being the operative word...lol, nah I like Doojoon and both groups have a sense of comradery seeing as they are from sister companies, so there's prolly no malicious intent.
But I still prefer MBLAQ, by MILES!!!!

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind a sandwich with Seungho and Doojoon. Fandoms are messing big time with their priorities here imo.

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

It is true in terms of popularity, just see how many awards each group has gotten.

[xoxoknlove.livejournal.com]

Though I agree that they are probably better than MBLAQ in terms of popularity, I would choose MBLAQ's music over B2ST's any day.

[kakeru9.livejournal.com]

and i would choose B2ST's music, different taste in music is different.

[naj-mahal.livejournal.com]

Psh. STFD Beast. Mblaq is ahead in personality and quite frankly, much more flawless.

[fay-of-sunshine.livejournal.com]

lol, you seem a wee bit pressed.

ia though.
no seungho = no go.

[jeeeean.livejournal.com]

"But when we’re not active, we think we’re below MBLAQ."

Doojoon's answer was pretty straightfoward and makes much more sense than most of the fans.
it's only natural the other group feels below one when they're not promoting.
I don't understand what's there to be unhappy with.

[snb123.livejournal.com]

[mind-project.livejournal.com]

They should've kept their mouths closed.

Or at least they should've said something that won't make the fans misunderstand what they said and start a war.

[jibegajima.livejournal.com]

There's nothing to misunderstand. No one's misunderstanding what they're saying - it's just whether or not you want to be mad about it.

[kakeru9.livejournal.com]

srly, ppl should learn to read “But when we’re not active, we think we’re below MBLAQ." but tbh you can see the difference in numbers of their fanclubs, and Beast is more active than MBLAQ, so ifandom can laugh at what Beast said, but that's true, they're more popular in Korea, what international fans like more doesn't mean the same is in Korea.

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

That is such a meaningless statement to me imo. Even when they're not active and MBLAQ is, Beast is still obviously the more popular group.

[lovestrucksmile.livejournal.com]

tbh idk why beast is so popular but i never understood korean taste so.

[byronsbitch.livejournal.com]

same...I just dont see it

[taeminsponytail.livejournal.com]

I like to watch Bist more on shows and stuff but music wise I definately pick MBLAQ

[taeminsponytail.livejournal.com]

that is if I mentally ignore trollseob

[haldir.livejournal.com]

beast may be more popular but both groups have equally shitty songs so who really gives a rat's ass

[jonghyunf.livejournal.com]

MBLAQ's songs are actually catch tho...

[cake.livejournal.com]

Okay then.

Not looking forward to the fanwars.

The comments on Allkphail are already making me facepalm eternally. Even though I'm MBLAQ bias, I do like Beast as well and don't want this to be blown out of proportions. Especially when both groups are actually really close. This competition the fans keep making between them is srsly stupid.

BUT WE ALL KNOW MBLAQ IS BETTER OF COURSE.

[naichah.livejournal.com]

IA. end of discussion :D

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Truth, just compare their fan cafe numbers. But personally I care neither of them.
