7 years as a trainee, to the extent that he almost failed to debut because his showing, as claimed by the company representatives, seemed lacking and not too impressive. This is what BEAST member Yang YoSeob's past was all about.
But thanks to CUBE Entertainment president Hong Seung Sung, he was given a chance. And he promised himself from that day on, that he would always be at his best and do everything to prove that the opportunity given to him was not a waste.
He would always find ways to improve himself more in dancing and especially in singing. He perseveres non-stop with his group mates in order to rise-up to the expectations of the many.
In an earlier interview on a documentary made upon their debut, he stated, "I have been practicing for 5 years now. There are many times that I’ve spent crying and laughing. Now that I think about it, there are a lot of events that tore up my heart. If I keep saying it was tiring then I might look pitiful. I’ve been through so much, the bad times are bad, the hard times are hard. But I think now is the time to see the light."
Words of encouragement to himself, because he believes there's no one else who would be inspiring him more but his own willingness to go on and strive even harder.
This year, after the promotion of their first two mini-albums from September last year and this March, BEAST took a short break from the stage. YoSeob was able to focus too on his health where he had to undergo a minor surgery in his nasal cavity. Many where worried that it might cause a problem on their come back. But upon the release of the 3rd mini-album during the third quarter of this year, it was proven that YoSeob is indeed fine and a truly talented artist.
There were two songs included in this album that requires his high pitch, since he is considered as the main vocals of the group. In the first single released, "Clenching a Tight Fist" was a little milder by an inch compared to his part in the second single released, which is "Breathe". In Clenching a Tight Fist, fellow member Jang Hyunseung had shared up with him on the high notes but in Breathe he has to do the "I don't knooooowww" part alone, which is considered the highlight of the song before it ends.
And to realize how many times they have to sing 'Breathe' for live performance is truly a remarkable accomplishment for YoSeob.
After the 3rd mini-album comes far more activities like, the release of the 4th mini-album, his collaboration with trainee mate Daniel (aka. Dalmatian's Drama), promotional tours/showcases in some parts of Asia and the B2ST Airlines Concert.
Truly he was one of the busiest and one of the most promising singers who sang the most in the year 2010.
It was an amazing year for Yang YoSeob and a triumphant year for BEAST.
