Nothing builds better hype and fanbase than an idol group documentary.
POPSEOUL! has neglected to mention the upcoming debut for new boy group, B2ST (Boys 2 Search for Top), for some time until something more tangible came out, and indeed, it finally has~
Cube Entertainment’s boy group, B2ST, is set to debut this September, but in the meantime, you gotta get the girls ready to scream for these boys. Best way to do that? Let them watch these boys give their blood, sweat, and tears while preparing and training for their debut. Therefore, an MTV documentary is scheduled to begin airing on August 23rd, showcasing B2ST’s journey.
Following the photo below, B2ST is composed of Yoon Doo-joon (One Day reject/candidate from Mnet’s ”Hot Blood” documentary), Yong Jun-hyung (aka Poppin’ Dragon and former member of Xing), Lee Ki-kwang (better known as “Dancing Shoes“ AJ), Son Dong-woon (maknae-in-training), Yang Yo-seob (trainee and AJ’s back-up dancer), and finally, Jang Hyun-seung (aka So-1 from Big Bang documentary days).
I really feel like this is a kick in the pants for AJ because he did make a fairly notable debut, but now he has to take a few steps back and become part of a package deal. Cube seems to be scrapping the barrel for this group as three of the members just couldn’t quite make it in their previous projects. Although with their past exposure, B2ST has a lot of anticipation surrounding them from Korean netizens.
I am moderately excited for their coming after the overdose of estrogen this summer, who doesn’t like fresh male blood? Their group name could have been something more creative though. Companies seem to be carrying the SMS trend too far with these numerics and acronyms. I don’t completely object to the name B2ST, but when I see it, I think “second best” more than anything.
