B2ST’s Doojoon’s childhood photo revealed by his sister


B2ST’s Yoon Doojoon’s sister revealed a childhood picture of her younger brother standing confidently before a mic through her personal Twitter

On January 25th, she tweeted, “It’s been a while, this is Doodoo when he was little.

The picture she uploaded alongside the tweet shows a younger Doojoon in the middle of giving a speech in front of a mic. She added, “This was when he was six during church.“ Doojoon amused fans by tweeting back, “Don’t upload things like that, it’s embarrassing.”

Fans commented in response, “Little Doodoo, his face is exactly the same,” “He liked mics since he was little,” and “He’s so cute, I want to bite him!”

The nickname of “doodoo” might be a bit more embarrassing to English speaking fans, but it’s adorable nevertheless.

Meanwhile, B2ST is currently preparing for their two-day encore concerts scheduled for February 18th and 19th.

B2ST’s Doojoon, Junhyung, & Dongwoon wander the streets at night


Is it possible for the members of B2ST to make an embarrassing facial expression?

On February 24th, leader Doojoon shared photos of himself with Junhyung and Dongwoon wandering the streets at night. He wrote,“We really walked around till we had no regrets… The remaining three passed out back at the hotel…”

Despite their attempts to make ‘bizarre’ facial expressions, fans were reluctant to believe that the members could look anything but cute.

They wrote, “Did you take that picture to try to be funny? So cute!,” “I like whatever you do~,” and “If you keep walking around late at night, the nunas will capture you!”

Dongwoon celebrates B2ST’s 500th day by thanking fans through fancafe


On February 27th, B2ST’s maknae Son Dongwoon thanked fans for their support in celebration of the group’s 500th day anniversary.

Through B2ST official fancafe, Dongwoon wrote, “This is Dongwoon. Today is B2ST’s 500th day. Our B2UTIES, who were more hurt than we were when people hated us more than they liked us.. Thank you for filling up our empty stage and our empty hearts. We’ll repay your unchanging love with an even bigger love. Thank you, genuinely. ^^”

Early on in B2ST’s debut, the group met with criticisms over the diverse history and experience of the members, which brought out nicknames like ‘recycled group’. Over time, the group was able to move past those criticisms, and they’re rising to become one of Korea’s top boy bands.

Fans responsed, “B2ST was more hurt than us.. Thank you so much for doing well and succeeding to prove them wrong,” “You make me so happy to be a fan, nobody can’t say anything to you now, you know that right? Thank you for always working so hard,” “Fighting on your Japanese advancement. It’s already 500 days, time flies so fast,” and “Let’s not get hurt anymore. Aja aja!”

After completing their two-day encore concerts earlier this month, B2ST has now shifted focused onto their upcoming Japanese debut.

B2ST already held a successful showcase last November despite the fact that they haven’t officially debuted; the tickets for that November showcase managed to sell out 10,000 tickets within 10 minutes. News of the group’s larger-scale concerts have already stirred Japanese fans into a frenzy.

On February 26th, Japan’s Nikkan Sports and other media outlets reported, “The Korean beasts will be landing in Japan. All of the members are known for their exceptional vocal and dancing talents, and the group itself has managed to leap into the ranks of other top artists with their talent. One industry representative revealed that their popularity had the ‘possibility to overtake TVXQ and Big Bang.’ B2ST will become the eye of the storm in K-pop this year.”

B2ST’s debut album, “Shock,” will be available on March 16th. All special versions of the album, including the DVD and standard edition, have managed to rank in on the top 10 of Tower Record’s pre-order chart.

A truck wrapped in pictures of the group toured around the city as well, allowing fans to stop and take special photos in memory of the event.

Super Junior released “Super Junior Japan Limited Special Edition – Super Show 3” on February 16th in celebration of their three-day stay, which managed to rank in at 8th place on Oricon’s daily album chart.
