Article: 'Happy Together 3' Yang Yoseob spotted wearing a comfort women awareness bracelet, interest causes organization site to crash
Source: E-News via Nate
1. [+3,127, -93] Not a fan but Yang Yoseob's amazing...
2. [+2,661, -39] He was able to earn attention to the cause and bring in the interest of young fans who probably never cared about comfort women awareness.
3. [+2,411, -66] Yoseob's always been known to purchase and read history books on his own time. He even put up a picture on Instagram of how to draw the Taegeukgi (Korean flag) properly for his fans... He seems like a thoughtful person. I never knew that such a bracelet existed and I'm embarrassed. Yoseob and B2ST, amazing!! Please don't change your current attitude and heart...
4. [+1,824, -35] I'm not a B2ST fan but this is great ㅎㅎ
5. [+1,591, -19] I'm 100% for promoting such causes
6. [+1,430, -25] Not only is he a great singer but has a big heart as well.. Do well ^^
7. [+1,326, -21] Never knew these bracelets existed.. I should buy one for myself ㅠㅠ
8. [+1,240, -15] I've always had a negative perception of idols so I'm surprised to see a young man with brains like him.. I hope that he inspires more young teens to take an interest in our history.

Source: Sports Seoul via Nate
1. [+821, -20] Thank you for making me reflect on myself... and I love that he came up with this idea ㅋ
2. [+797, -23] Media play or not, this deserves praise~ Idols have a lot more influence on young fans than most teachers these days so I'm sure they'll follow along and learn~~ I also read his article about the bracelet, I'm really proud of what he's doing. I really hated idols... but I'm starting to see a few respectable ones~
3. [+680, -50] To all the people crying about media play, Yoseob oppa uploaded this on his SNS before journalists picked it up and released it as articles. Instead of viewing this negatively, please see B2ST as respectable and caring idols in a positive light.
4. [+50, -1] A good example of an idol using SNS the right away
5. [+44, -1] He even quizzes his fans on Korean history ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Article: [Starcast] introduces BEASTs youngest member Son Dong-woon!
Source: Dispatch via Naver [article's in English if you want to read it]
1. [+674, -27] He hasn't gotten his name out there as much as the other members have but he has great manners. His hyungs are only a year or two older than him but he speaks formally to them and writes up a lot of respectable posts on Twitter.
2. [+562, -26] I really feel that he's improved a lot. In the Cloud was daebak at the concert.
3. [+549, -26] I heard that he was burned by a firework while doing fan service... and I was really touched when he said that it's an honor to be hurt while on stage ㅠ
4. [+494, -20] I thought a B2UTY wrote this article for a second ㅋㅋㅋ Please write more articles like this~ I'd like more people to learn about Dongwoon~~
5. [+426, -17] Compared to their debut, I think fans will say that Dongwoon is the member who improved himself the most. Dongwoon's climbing up so fast!
6. [+418, -14] Maknae Son God... even if he's not as well known as the other members, he consistently works so hard. FIghting!

1. [+196, -13] Son Dongwoon's confidence ㅋㅋㅋ Hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I was actually curious about the taste of his 'godly noodles?'
2. [+179, -13] Saw Son Dongwoon in a new light this episode
3. [+165, -13] Can I get the recipe for his godly noodles

Article: 'Happy Together' Lee Kikwang is an 'acting idol'... Able to drop tears at a moment's notice
Source: OSEN via Nate
1. [+244, -43] I thought he was really good?? His pronunciation and everything was a bit off since it was spontaneous but I was surprised with how well he was able to grab a hold of the right emotions that fast
2. [+221, -47] I thought he'd be pretty average at acting considering he's an idol but he did decently. I didn't think he'd able to tear up that fast ㅋㅋ
3. [+202, -48] He was good

Source: OSEN via Naver
1. [+222, -30] Goose bumps over Yoseob's vocal talent in just the teaser alone... Really looking forward to how the song will sound
2. [+195, -23] I get sick of idol songs really fast but I enjoy B2ST's ballads. Looking forward to Shadow as well.
3. [+188, -23] The teaser looked daebak. Very artistic. I already have the "because I'm shadow, shadow, shadow" part stuck in my head..!
4. [+162, -19] Finally B2ST is coming back
5. [+134, -18] B2ST is a talented group with a good image, one of the groups to make a long run

Article: B2ST releases 2nd album tracklist... 'Yong Junhyung composed every song'
Source: OSEN via Naver
1. [+458, -69] Yes, the best songs are written after a break up. Looking forward to it.
2. [+378, -21] They do better with songs like Rainy Days and Fiction rather than Beautiful Night
3. [+340, -34] I get worried when I hear about idols composing... I'm not saying that Junhyung would have but with Roy Kim's plagiarism controversy, you never know. I'll still look forward to it.
4. [+273, -57] Yoseob's Caffeine song was good and hit a long run... looking forward to it!
5. [+296, -126] You mean co-composed. I don't believe for a second that he composed a song without Shinsadong Tiger.
6. [+204, -70] Yeah, obviously co-composed... Even Myung Soo hyung composes songs these days.
7. [+171, -48] If he's the one that did Yoseob's solo track, then I think it's worth looking forward to.

Article: B2ST 'I'm So Sorry' what has changed from 2010 vs 2013?
Source: TV Report via Naver
1. [+345, -38] I live in the Ilwon neighborhood and I could hear their singing all throughout the town. What I felt was that Yang Yoseob is fu*king awesome at singing.
2. [+338, -42] Both their songs sound great
3. [+331, -42] I don't like idols but I'm fond of B2ST... Their singing is on par and their variety and acting are decent. Their recent song sounds good too.
4. [+300, -20] I'm not a B2ST fan or anti so from my perspective, I think their greatest songs to date are 'On Rainy Days'.. I don't listen to a lot of idol songs but I still make sure to listen to this one from time to time.
5. [+331, -61] B2ST is one of those rare idol groups that actually have talent. I don't mean that the rest suck but just that B2ST should be acknowledged. Yang Yoseob's live just gives you goose bumps and the other members do well backing him up. I'm not a B2UTY, actually an outsider from another fandom, but Yang Yoseob's skills are unrivaled. B2ST is probably the first band where I got goose bumps listening to live. If I had to choose a favorite artist, I'd definitely choose my bias group... but in talent alone, I'd go with B2ST.
6. [+284, -26] I just came back from listening to I'm So Sorry, and as someone who recently went through a break up, it's a song I'm really connecting to right now...
