Formerly known as Big Bang’s So-1.

Cube Entertainment’s newest group BEAST (formerly known as “B2ST” ) celebrated their immediate debut with, what else, a showcase. The group performed a variety of songs from their debut album, including a live ballad “Oasis, and fellow company group 4minute made an appearance. However, the most gossip-worthy moment of the night came courtesy ofG-dragon who left the group, specifically Jang Hyun-seung, a congratulatory message.

Says Mr. Heartbreaker, “I found out about BEAST’s debut through the internet. HyunSeung, whom I’m close to and love, is in BEAST. He’s worked long and hard for his debut so please give him much love and support. BEAST, hwaiting!”

Check out the message from G-Dragon (last) and a variety of other successful singers.

4minute performed their song “What A Girl Wants” and their #1 hit “Muzik.”

Beast performed their debut single “Bad Girl” live for the first time

I was surprised to find out that most of the BEAST members could actually sing. Here’s their ballad “Oasis“

Will BEAST be the next idol group or will they flop? Is it just me or is Hyun-seung’s horrid hairstyle a major deterrent?
