Cr: Beast Babo-A quiet but astonishing 7th anniversary
The 7th anniversary, for Beast and Beauty, has always been a day that made us nervous.
The first half of 2016 I was constantly in a state of anxiety, in a mire of thoughts.
Other than the issue with Hyunseung, there was of course the issue of how the kids’ future will turn out.
But ever since the start of the 3rd album’s comeback, the kids have been continuously demonstrating and hinting they won’t separate, we just have to follow them.
And thus even though it’s the eve of the 7th anniversary, even without any news of contract renewals, I did not feel even a tinge of uneasiness. Because I 100% believe in the words of my precious kids.
They said they won’t separate, so they definitely won’t separate. We just have to believe and follow but I thought, renewal or not, I wanted us to all celebrate the 7th anniversary together.
We waited and waited, but there was not a single news about celebrating the 7th anniversary, no live broadcasts, activities; there was nothing.
The kids only expressed their feelings towards this day through SNS but just simply these words were able to become a huge source of strength and belief.
(From the members’ instagram posts)
Dujun: Busan is so far…I’m grateful to everyone who came even though it is so far. It’s going to be the 7th anniversary soon, although many things will change but will adapt to it quickly. Thank you, Beauty, Beast, you’ve worked hard!!! In the future too, we’ll be in your care.
Gikwang: In these long 7 years, Beauty who only believed, relied on, and followed us Beast, really thank you so much. We will repay you with better and more handsome images of ourselves. In the future too, we’ll be in your care for a long time to come. Must follow behind us well, really thank you so much!
Yoseob: These 7 years, it has been very blissful, there has been difficult times, sad times, but thanks to everyone, I was able to pull through and receive strength. Will continue to sing for fans for Beast in future too. Really, really thank you. I’m very sorry that we don’t have anything prepared other than such a greeting on this precious day. Although it’s something I often say, but I still wish to say that I respect you all and love you all. Hope we will only have good things to come, from Yoseop who is full of love.
Dongwoon: The time that we have seen each other has already been 7 years, for always accompanying us through this time thank you and thank you. Although this is a very chaotic period and I feel sorry but please wait for us for a while more! Even though we weren’t able to prepare for this year’s anniversary, but let’s definitely celebrate it in the future. Thank you, beauty
Dujun: At this time 7 years ago, I probably was awake…Even up till now, I still feel as though everything happened within the last two days. Now Beast’s 2nd chapter is starting, everyone fighting! Thank you, love you all!
Junhyung: As long as there are people who are willing to listen to our songs, no matter when it is, we will be together so do not worry. We received a lot of love in the 7 years. More than the time that we have experienced, we will work hard in order to carry on for an even longer time. Our members, our Beauty, you’ve all worked hard. In the future too, whether it be good or tough things, let’s share them together. Love everyone.
From even before the exclusive news came out, I could guess from the kids’ words that there won’t be any contract renewals and they had thought out their future.
Even despite that, when I knew for real that they were going to create a company, I still felt that it was unbelievable.
Although I used to naively wish they could create their own company, but as I got older, I grew to understand that it really wasn’t such an easy task.
I didn’t wish for them to be mentally and physically tired out by issues like their group name, the rights of the songs, etc.
I can only say, for them to stay together, every choice was a tough one, but setting up a company, this route, is the most difficult route of the difficult routes that they had.
They aren’t young anymore, they must have thought it through carefully, balanced all the solutions before deciding on this.
Although I wish for the kids to walk on a flower path from now on, but since they have decided on this route, I think, temporarily they will have tough times ahead of them.
But my kids, their decision really made Beauty and even casual observers feel their courage was admirable, and deserving of respect.
From before debut to debut, then to a peak period, up until now.
The road was always rocky, with no single part of it being easy and smooth-sailing.
But Beast’s toughness, the spirit of cooperation between the members, it helped them to defeat obstacle after obstacle.
I believe this time, it will be the same too. God ultimately cares for those who are kind and will create a path for them.
2009.10.16 was the start of the kids’ first chapter.
2016.10.16 will be the start of the kids’ second chapter.
Just wait and see, this bunch of tenacious kids, they’ll do better than anyone else think they will. Because they are Beast.
Because they are Yoon Dujun, Yong Junhyung, Yang Yoseop, Lee Gikwang, Son Dongwoon.
Even though today’s 7th anniversary, there’s not even a live broadcast, and we could not even see the kids’ group photos or selcas etc,
even though it’s an anniversary that’s even quieter than the years before
But when the moment the news were released, we were so excited like we had our own party.
Our emotions ran high and even on twitter there were just tons of giveaways.
It’s alright if the kids’ weren’t able to give us any celebratory events, us Beauties played very well by ourselves XDDD
That’s why I decided to title this as ‘A quiet but astonishing 7th anniversary’.
If I had to say one thing that was just not as perfect, that’ll probably be because we’re missing a post from Hyunseung.
Although many people may have forgotten him, but I definitely won’t forget that today is the same day that Hyunseung debuted too.
I have never for a moment forgotten this kids, and I only wish that he has also received many blessings on today.
And hopefully quickly decide his next step, and find a good place. That’s what I’m most concerned about!
Finally, finally, happy 7th anniversary, my six precious kids.
