B2ST’s Kikwang pokes fun at Lee Joon’s variety show skills

B2ST member Lee Kikwang poked fun of MBLAQ Lee Joon‘s variety show talent.

During a recent shoot for MBC Music‘s ‘All the K-Pop‘, B2ST ranked their fellow idols and their level of variety show talent. The boys selected Girls’ Generation, MBLAQ, and they themselves as the idol groups that are the most successful on variety programs, and MC Park Jae Min asked the members what they thought of MBLAQ’s Lee Joon who is quickly rising as the ‘king of variety’.

Without hesitation, Lee Kikwang burst out, “Lee Joon’s variety talents are a bit overrated,” causing MBLAQ member Mir to burst out into laughter and add, “I completely concur with Kikwang’s statement,” causing everyone else on set to laugh as well.

The B2ST members also performed comical sexy dances on the spot, and did their best impressions of other celebrities, displaying that they too had impressive variety show talent.

B2ST signs contract to appear on ‘Weekly Idol’ again for next album release

Back in December, B2ST member Doojoon signed an official contract, promising that B2ST would feature on ‘Weekly Idol‘ when B2ST would released their next album. He followed through on this promise as B2ST appeared on the last two episodes of ‘Weekly Idol’.

To reaffirm their next appearance on the show, it seems ‘Weekly Idol’ hilariously had each of the members sign an additional contract as well. The photo below was recently posted via Weekly Idol’s official Twitter with the words, “The highlight of today’s program! We could not simply send B2ST away like this, so in the end, we were able to happily end by obtaining two documents! What innocent young men they are ^_^ Is is true that you have a year-end comeback?

The actual contract read, ‘Weekly Idol Appearance Document – Because we feel our film session today was unfortunately short, we B2ST promise to gladly give one day of our next album promotions to ‘Weekly Idol’. We stress that the above conditions are not a penalty, but most definitely an award.’

The contract was then dated, and each of the members stamped their fingerprints to make it official. Don’t think any of the B2UTIES will mind seeing more of the boys!

B2ST members insult leader Doojoon on Weekly Idol

On ‘Weekly Idol‘, the members of B2ST took turns with a few insults on leader Doojoon.

Yoseob flustered Doojoon by stating, “If (Doojoon) tries to make us laugh, and we don’t, his fists come up first. Lately Doojoon has been going to acting school and he’s using what he learns on us“.

At this confession, the MCs suggested a game of “You’re right“. The “You’re right” game is where one person says anything they wish and the other has to reply “You’re right”.

The game started with Yoseob, who spilled more of Doojoon’s secrets. “Doojoon, do you remember? Do you remember hitting me earlier for not laughing?“, “Do you remember hitting me in the head with a soccer ball?“, “Do you remember borrowing money from me?” and more causing laughter to fill the studio.

Junhyung followed up and said, “Do you know you’re not funny lately? After ‘Sweet Rain’ it was over for you“. Kikwang asked, “Our Doojoon, you try so hard at acting but do you know it’s kind of awkward?” shocking Doojoon. However the greatest laughter came from maknae Dongwoon when he said, “You know most people think of Kikwang when you say B2ST?”

With the members burying their leader, more laughter followed throughout the show. And with another episode next week, fans can’t wait for more.

B2ST member Yoseob revealed how he delivers his aegyo ‘fan service’.

On the August 28th broadcast of KBS2‘s ‘1 vs 100‘, Yoseob was asked if it was true that he had the most elementary school fans among the group members.

“All the members are very popular, but I think the younger fans seem to like me a lot,” Yoseob said. The singer was then asked if he had a unique ‘fan service’ action he delivers, and Yoseob remarked, “At first when we debuted, I performed aegyo no matter what.”

However, the singer continued, “But these days it doesn’t seem to have the same effect. So nowadays, I try aegyo that comes across as a little indifferent. For example, while I’m singing, I will look towards the camera and give a little wink.”

The singer then gave a personal demonstration, melting the hearts of his fans watching from home.

MC Defconn responded, “I feel like you’re taller than last year,” comforting Kikwang. Jung Hyung Don, however, was a bit skeptical after comparing his height to member Doojoon, who’s 177cm (5’10″) tall.

The singer then revealed, “To be honest, I gifted B2ST a song. I gave a song to B2ST’s manager who I’m close to, and I didn’t hear anything back even though it’d been a week. I was busy producing, but when B2ST made their comeback, I realized I had been rejected. When Junhyung came to feature in my title track, I asked him if [the song] was that bad, and he said he didn’t know anything about it. So, I just threw that song away.”
