thanks ! oh man , that boy is a hottieeee!

Cute. He looks like the lovechild of Se7en and Seung Ri (Big Bang).
... and Koyama from NEWS .

Has Cube ever mentioned why he's no longer solo? I thought he was pretty successful as a solo artist (compared to the other recent male singers). I hope he's okay with it

Oooh I like his hair like that.
I wish there were better pics of the other members though

Anyway, I can't wait for them to debut!

he looks super cute in the pics.
glad that he is going to be in a group.

he kind of reminds me of yesung of super junior ._.
lolols he's really cute =)

now that you mentioned it,
i can actually see it. hehe, that's funny.

i'm very much looking forward to this boygroup (with doojoon and hyun seung!)

he really does !
good looking boy
best wishes

Dang....AJ looks really hot here!!

He's adorable!
I never really noticed him before, lol.

i never knew he looked so good ~!

many were thinking of changing aj's official thread in the music area to the official group thread anyways ?

^ this is just a picture thread, i think undebuted groups or solos can have their own thread in the photo section.

wow he look very hot there.

yAY!! cute boy that got eliminated from HOTBLOOD boys is in this group!! <3 the pictures are small.. buttt AJ and... i forgot his name :[ are both SUPERRR hottt sooo.. i think i'm gonan be supporting these boysss ;] <3

i'm surprised to see old woman there ^o^ but then again, it is the effect of our AJ. Looking forward to the new group~

that guy is really cute.

awwww, he's so cutee in those pictures. love his hair

hehe...
a lot of ajuma fans there..

AJ is such a cutie. :]
I love his voice, looking foward to this group.

AJ looks nicer in a tee than in sparkling perf clothes. ;O


a;sld;a can't wait for Dujoon. I miss that guy. He was so cute and funny on Hot Blood. <3

yay! thanks for finally making this thread for my most anticipated upcoming boygroup! I am super excited for this group especially because of DuJoon and SO-1! i was super sad to see them get eliminated but truly happy they're back! N PLUS, AJ! omg, this is gnna be amazing! I already love these boys!

aj is cute
good luck to the new group
i really want to see a boy group this time

He looks cuuuuuuuuuuuuteeeee in those pics.
I wonder why they're putting him in a group... maybe he wasn't rising up to the bar? I wonder how he feels about being put in a group...
Would he be leader? I would think so...since he was perceived as good enough to debut solo?
We will see with time~

I love this boy's smile. It's sweeter than sugar!
Awww he's in a group now?
I guess to be successful nowadays, you have to be in a group. Sigh...

Oh, he'll be in a group?
Aaww...I really liked him solo >_<
I'll be supporting his group!
Excited for their debut~ <3

wth Cube is so stupid
AJ is doing so good as a solo, they should stick him to it

^ i agree. why are they making him go in a group? he's got all the skills of a great solo artist. and he only has one single. =(

LOLed at the ajummas. there is liek, a lot of them.
I already know 4 of the members. I know my favorites will be Poppin' Dragon and AJ. No doubt,

I'm really anticipating their debut. <3
CUBE is a crap company so I hope they manage to pull through.

couldnt find anything on the other two members.

I prefer AJ as a solo singer , but hopefully they do well too ? and wth poppin' dragon ?

"B2ST"? ehh, I guess I won't complain much about the name since kpop has a lot of weird names, lol.

Poppin' Dragon sounds like a mix of Poppin' Hyun Joon (great dancer/popper) and Big Bang's G-Dragon (a play of his real name Ji Yong, since yong means dragon and "ji" sounds like "G")...
so maybe this guy is suppose to be a good dancer + rapper? ^^

It's nice to see Doo Joon and Hyun Seung getting another chance. ^^

My first reaction: What's with the name? But I guess I shouldn't be surprised. The kpop scene tends to have a lot of whacky names for idol groups.. unfortunately. o_o

Gee that's a lot of... ajumma fans.. LOL

AJ is a hottie. rawr! And OH MY GOD! It's DOO JOON!!

I'm soo looking forward to the debut, and I'm happy for Hyun Seung! Finally debuting!

Whoo.
I can't wait.
Finally I am a fan of a boy that is younger then me.
Hahaha.
The other four are older then me. =(

Poppin Dragon? i didnt know he was going into the group! i love him in xing!

im so excited for this group!! ^___^ so much familiar faces and doojoon is back!
yeahhh <3 he was really cute in hot blood boys! & im excited to see how popping
dragon will do since he was pretty popular when he was in xing!

I will definitely be following them. AJ and Doojoon<3
Cube better promote them well.

my doojoon <3 i miss him in jype, but i am glad that he's finally debuting.
and son dong woon! i thought he was still a jyp trainee all this time. *sigh*

i am quite excited for this new group. i wish them the best.

It's time for some boy groups now!
I'll be looking out for these guys.

CUBE and JYP are sister company, so technically everybody in B2ST are from JYP.

I'm very excited for Joon Hyungie. I've been a fan of his
since he was in XING. When he left, he asked his fans
to wait and he had a surprise for them. I've kept up with
him with his picture updates with his girlfriend...then he
suddenly went quiet. (>.<) Then I saw a picture of him
in AJ's thread and found out that he was AJ's backdancer!
I was so excited!! Please AJ fans don't attack me...I only
watched his performances for Joon Hyung! (>.<) But I do
like his songs~

That's an interesting group name...How would you pronounce that?
Best??

Thanks so much for the update! I am looking forward to this group's
future activities!

a boy band for a change, yay! I'm excited to see them and of course, Rain's boyband. Is AJ going to be leader?

^i have a feeling he will not be the leader CUBE usually makes unexpected decisions lol. i was surpirsed when she picked Jihyun as the leader for 4MINUTE instead of Hyuna

finally an official thread ^^ hehe this will be moved to korean music forum when they officially debuts right?

aww im so happy now. finally Hyunseung will debut ^^ i have been waiting for 3 YEARS. aww Hyunseung i love you xoxo

haha Kiwan is no longer the maknae now cant believe Hyunseung will be the mat hyung hahah

this group is definitely gonna be my fav their coming from CUBE/JYP makes me love them even more

SON DONG WOON. OMG. FINALLY ! I'VE LOVED HIM SINCE HE'S BEEN TRAINING OSDUFQ0WUR0Q9U

question: will cube change the names of the singers?

I WANT AJ AND POPPIN DRAGON to change their names. they are obviously going to get a lot of antis if they dont.

aj has planned to change his name since paran fans are pissed. poppin dragon= vips will be pissed.
CUBE BETTER CHANGE THEIR NAMES

I'm excited to see Joon Hyung back after leaving XING. Their group name is...interesting...but I'm looking forward to their debut, too.

Finally a new boy group at last
Looking forward to their debut, hopefully soon xD

i think Son Dong Woon looks so cute <33
