Encore Concert Touches the Heart of 12,000 Fans



With abundant performances and twice the scale, Beast grandly ended their first encore concert with touching enthusiasm.
On the 18th of February, they held their encore concert Welcome Back To Beast Airline at the Seoul Olympic Stadium, giving grand performances and vocals to 12,000 excited fans.
During sales of the tickets, the overwhelming response caused the website server to break down. The concert tickets were sold out at a super fast speed, shocking all the staff members. Besides Korean fans, the concert was attended by fans from Japan, China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan and other countries worldwide, proving Beast to be true global stars.
This time round, Beast used the concept of transforming into charismatic pilots who travel with the audience to go on holiday. They gave a never before revealed all new performance different from their solo concert last year, capturing everyone’s attention.
Beast collaborated with Korea’s top 9 member Live Full Band to make new arrangements for their existing songs, enriching each of their original songs. They also had an extended stage to be closer to their fans.
Beast again performed their 3 duets self-written by the members, receiving loud cheers from the fans. Each member was divided into their sub-groups according to their vocal tone and musical taste.
Main vocal Yoseob and rapper Junhyung’s Thanks To, Kikwang and Hyunseung’s Let It Snow along with Doojoon and Dongwoon’s When The Door Closes managed to wow the hearts of fans all over again.
Beast performed Special, Shock and Bad Girl as their opening act and then continued with Breakdown, Mystery, Clenching A Tight Fist, Easy, Soom, Lightless, Beautiful and many more. All the songs were performed totally live, showing off an even more vivid stage.
To accomodate all the fans who came from all over the world to see them, they prepared a special “present” set for them. As promised during their concert last year, they revealed the MV of I Like You The Best and an Abs Wave.
They did not stay put at the centre of the stage but also moved to all parts of the stage to interact with the fans, fully maximising the spacious layout of the stage. Their enthusiasm was dazzling. Leader Doojoon fell down again like their concert last year and Dongwoon ripped his pants, attracting the audience’s attention.
From Beast’s mini fan-meeting to G.NA’s congratulatory performance, fans were cheering all the way.With a space twice the size of last time, and a rich lineup of performances, the 12,000 fans were united in the excitement.
During the press conference before the concert, leader Doojoon said,” Last year we managed to get first place for the different music shows and also held our first solo concert. This year, through Beast Asia Tour, we hope to expand our market and meet all our Asian fans.”
They also talked about their Japanese debut in March with the statement, ” Our look in Japan will be exactly the same as our look in Korea. We don’t know if the Japanese fans will like it or not, but our sincerity will be enough.”
Beast is due to debut in Japan in March. Their single Shock has already taken first place for various pre-order charts in Japan.
