21. Are there free lightsticks during the concert?
22. If we get a 4K replies in this survey, will there be a possibility of the concert?

28. Will they have a fansign event?
29. Would there be a VIP Section? How much is the VIP?
30. What’s the probability of having a show here in Manila?
31. How long will BEAST stay here if Beautiful Show happens?
32. If the show pushes through, where can you contact BEASTPH?
1. Why not Smart Araneta?
- We are not targeting a big venue like Smart Araneta because this will be the first major concert of BEAST in the Philippines and there is no basis yet for us to compare how much audience they will draw. Not that we don’t believe in the power of b2uties. But we are talking of budget here. The venue will also decide ticket prices in a concert. Currently, the only basis we could compare with this event we are trying set-up are the Beautiful Shows in other countries. And the venues vary. One country held in an indoor stadium, one in a pavilion, one in a university gymnasium.
2. Why not hold it this summer?
- We are not the ones who will decide the BEAST schedule. It was CUBE Entertainment’s prerogative not ours, not even MCA Universal’s. If CUBE Entertainment decides to hold it in June then we will go on as they say, if they say, sorry BEAST is already too busy for prromotions and could not accommodate your country anymore then we can’t complain to them. BEAST is their artist and we, as you all are, are just fans who are requesting from them. These are just some simple scenarios that could happen peeps, these are not facts that I have written above.
3. What does official fansite mean?
- BEASTPH is Cube Entertainment’s official fansite for BEAST in the Philippines. We would like to remind to everyone that official fansite is different from official fansclub. Are we now affiliated with CUBE? Yes, we are but as an official fansite not a club. This means that any news that they need to convey to the fans would go through us and we will in turn pass it to the Philippine b2uties.
4. Can BEASTPH talk directly to Cube Entertainment?
- Yes, we can send them emails but because of the great number of email volumes they are receiving they can’t reply to all our messages. There are other fansites too who are writing them so this should not give us the feeling that we should be given attention. We are all b2uties same as those with other countries, this is why we are treated equally by Cube Entertainment.
5. Sure na ba yan? Talagang pupunta na sila? Kasama tayo sa press release bakit may ganito pang survey, ano ba yan?
- Just as we put it in the introduction before the survey, WE ARE NOT PROMISING ANYTHING. This is just a survey, this will determine how many people are willing to watch or want to see the event, against all odds. This is also why we said, answer the survey only if you are sure, coz if you are really sure, you are determined to save enough for the ticket no matter what price it will be. But in the instance that the event does not happen, this doesn’t mean you lost. You gain something actually coz you got a lot of savings and you can use it for future events, if there will be or you can use it in more productive things. The truth is as much as we want to be patient sometimes in answering these types of questions, we also lost the interest already, since we have already explained what this survey means from the start. Sometimes, it feels like, the moment we announce that the event is not possible after we got the survey results, it was like declaring war to everyone who assumed they are coming. We are also fans like you and we are doing the best that we can do, voluntarily to make things happen. But we are people too, we get tired, we get impatient and we have our own lives too outside being b2uties.
6. Would we contact you one by one if the BEAUTIFUL SHOW will happen in Manila?
- We really don’t think it would be possible to contact each of you one-by-one, but of course we there will be plenty of announcements not just online but maybe on newspapers, TV and Radio. Surely you will get informed.
7. Are there chances of winning backstage passes, press-con passes or photo ops before the event?
- We apologize that this is not yet the moment to answer this question since,we even don’t have a confirmation yet if the concert will take place in Manila. But all we can assure you is that all the suggestions you made, if this event pushes through, we will convey it to the organizers. Even if we have to let BEAST dance to our very own tinikling dance, we would suggest that.
8. Will it be on a Saturday or Sunday?
- As we mentioned, we don’t decide the schedule. It would be decided either by Cube and an organizer, if ever. We can only give suggestions to them, but they will always have the final say. But of course, we all know that they will choose the most reasonable schedule.
9. Why did we remove the list of venues now?
- We want to avoid confusion. We don’t want to mislead those who will be able to read it before answering the survey, earlier we put there some suggested venues, but we decided to remove it.
10. Why is it so expensive?
- KPOP concerts are very expensive. let’s base it from the prices of the recent KPOP artists who had their concerts in Manila, we have Super Junior, 2ne1, Kim Hyun Joong, UKISS. You can check out their ticket prices and then you will know that we are basing the ticket price range of the survey from there. Also, we based it too from the tickets of Beautiful Shows in other countries since their prices are not far from each other.
11. Can we get volunteers to help in setting up this event?
- This is not yet the time that we can decide on anything under this subject as we have said, the event has not even been confirmed yet. If the event pushes through then you can wait for further announcement as to what parts of the event you can participate in.
12. Why did we post the survey in the BEASTPH forum instead of putting it simply in the fanpage over twitter, so that it would be more accessible?
- The truth is, we purposely put it in the forum because this survey is not made to get as many likes as we want. We did the survey to know how many wanted to see the concert against all odds. Against all odds - meaning even if the schedule is impossible, even if it is too expensive, even if the venue is quite far from their place, and even if they have to sign up with the BEASTPH forum just to be able to answer the survey they would do it because they are really very eager to see the concert, against all odds.
13. Why can’t we just use twitition as a petition to make BEAST comeback to Manila instead of this survey?
- In the past we already made a lot of petitions, we made at least 3 videos for the record. And there is still an existing petition video project now. We also made a petition over twitition and a fanpage but it is not so suitable in this cases. Why? It is because in twitition or in fanpages, it’s just as easy as 1 click. As we said earlier, with this survey we are not looking for as many response as we can get but we are looking for those who are decided to watch the show, no matter what.
14. Will BEAST have their rest if they don’t have a concert in Manila? Or are we giving them a favor because if they don’t go to Manila, they will have a lesser schedule.
- As far as we know, since the release of the news article last December 2011 regarding the 21-City tour at 9 months duration, BEAST has been conditioned or advised that they would be having a very busy schedule for this year of 2012, since, aside from the Beautiful Show World Tour, they are also set to release a new full album. So, it will be a combination of concert tours, guestings and promotions. So, if we would look closely, they are anticipating long hours of travel and being away from home. Also they are very much aware that they would be tired, as in very exhausted. So, would they be able to rest if Beautiful Show in Manila doesn’t push through? We could say not because even in the past, FYI: whenever a scheduled show or event is cancelled an additional schedule is added to replace the schedule that was cancelled. If you are an avid follower of their daily schedules, you will be able to notice this. There was a schedule of them joining the Idol athletic championship once and a concert with IU that were cancelled but later on we learned that they didn’t really rest on the days it was supposed to happen because they have photo shoot for some clothing line. It’s something like that. It’s not really exactly like by not having a concert here, we are giving them a favor, although of course a concert is a concert and Yoseob would need to do an extra work on his throat rather than posing in front of the camera for pictorials.
15. We are already in the press release, doesn’t that mean we are already sure that we have Beautiful Show in the Philippines?
- The answer to this question would be like this, if you know the meaning of RSVP, it’s quite something like that. The press release last Dec. was like an invitation in an RSVP format. It’s up to each country to respond to it. But how? Local distributors/producers of BEAST must work it out with a promoter. If an agreement between the local distributor/producer has been worked out with a promoter, then they can reply to CUBE’s invitation. Then it’s CUBE’s turn now to agree or allow the concert to happen. So, just like attending a party, where you are given an RSVP invitation, you should reply to the celebrant that you are interested and that you are coming, if you don’t reply then your slot/seat will be given to someone else. And it’ll be like that too in this case. If their local distributor/producer here don’t reply or give them the message of interest then they will not come here. The problem now lies on their local distributor/producer if they can get a promoter. Currently, all promoters wanted to be assured of the population of attendees per event/concert as they are talking about money here, from stage production up to promotions. Promoters will be spending a lot for it, this is why they wanted to make sure there is a good return or good profit to their money spent. Right now, the Asian countries on the list that has not yet given their replies are Hongkong and us, the Philippines. We hope we are able to explain this one clearly. If you still can’t understand it do email us again we will explain it again.
16. Questions regarding ticket prices, requesting to make it cheaper.
- The truth is we still don’t have an idea how much it would really cost if it will happen here, it would still depend on the promoter and CUBE. We are not the ones to decide. A lot are requesting to make it in a low price because most of PH B2UTIES are students and it is really hard to save. We can also tell you that there’s no difference between our situation and the B2UTIES from other countries. When our BEASTPH staffs went to watch BS Singapore, they met B2UTIES of different ages from Elementary, to High school to College and a few who are working already.
17. How do they choose the girls they bring up the stage during the show?
- Not familiar with how, but we definitely know that it is not randomly pick during the time that they are already performing the song. But the organizers have picked-up or have chosen the girl already even before the song was performed.
18. is this survey open to those who are non BEAST PH members?
- Yes, this is open for everyone, even if you live in another country but you are interested in flying to Manila to watch the show. You just need to simply sign-up in the forum then go to the link then you can answer the survey already. Just as we said, we purposely put this survey in the forum because we are not looking for as many likes as we all wanted but the exact no. of people who are sure and interested to watch the concert against all odds, even if they have to sign-up with the forum. In this way, we can prove to the promoters that the survey is not simply a petition or just a one click thing, in short, the survey would be more credible. And to clarify things, there are no official members yet announced by BEAST Philippines up to now. Those who sign-up in the forum are not yet considered as Official BEAST PH members but you are members in the forum. To apply to be an official member, you need to be able to accomplish the membership form that we usually distribute in the events. But even those who signed those forms has not yet been announced as official BEAST Ph members as we need to screen the applications and make a master list of it before we can announce it.
19. Where will it happen?
- As far as we are concerned, we have venues in our ideas, but we would definitely not choose something big. Why? because bigger venues means it’ll be more expensive and will burden the ticket buyers too. Second, because this is the first ever concert BEAST is going to make in the Philippines, if ever and we really don’t have an idea of how many are interested to watch.
20. For those who are asking about Dongwoon’s tweet, here is our response.
- It could be legit and it could be not. Anything could happen. As we have repeatedly say, basing from the press release last December 2011, the schedule of the world tour is 9 months. This means, from February to October 2012. So far they have performed in 8 cities in Asia and 1 in Europe. So if you would be saying that most probably they are finishing the Asian line first before they embarked to the west, we beg to disagree because Germany is not Asia but Europe and there is still Spain that is part of the line-up but has no schedule like us and that is Europe too. The only 2 countries that they announced that they will not visit for this world tour are London and Brazil. London is in the line-up while Brazil is not plus these two countries were visited last year because they had United Cube Concert in both. So, there could be changes, anything could happen. And until October 2012 ends, we could still hope.
21. Are there free lightsticks during the concert?
- This is another question that needs to be answered if the event is already here or if the event will really be happening already. But as the fans club of BEAST in the Philippines, we will do the best that we can do to get incentives like this in the future if an event like this would happen. We cannot promise anything and just like other BEAST fans club in other countries, freebies are only decided when the event is already assured.
22. If we get a 4K replies in this survey, will there be a possibility of the concert?
- We are not promising it, but definitely there is a better or positivity to it. As we will be able to prove that the survey is credible and legit and that we can assure the promoters that this event is really sought after not just by BEAST fans but also the KPOP fandom in the area.
23. Can it happen in SM North or Trinoma?
- We know this is very accessible to many but we are talking about Beautiful Show here, these venues are quite small to what we and promoters are expecting. If it is not concert like a promo tour or hi-5 session, then these venues could be part of the choices but still we cannot say anything right now.
24. If the concert happens, will there be a mall tour too or fanmeet?
- Basing it from the Beautiful Shows that happened in other countries, all they have is a press conference, then they will have their sound check in the venue then they will go on with the concert. That’s usually how they do it. Unless, there are products that they are endorsing in the area that needs to be shoot like Tao Kae Noi in Thailand and Shin Ramyun in Japan, they are not expected to do any other activities such as mall tours or fanmeets.
25. When will it be? How much is the ticket?
- This questions have been asked for a zillion times, os we would be answering it again. There is no schedule yet and there are no exact price of the ticket yet. We are trying to do a survey on who wants to see this event against all odds or no matter what is the condition.
26. Are the details you sent over the survey confidential?
- Of course, they are. We will never reveal your information publicly.
27. Is the problem getting BEAST to the Philippines or the Production of the concert?
Like is Cube willing to send BEAST here but there’s a trouble in production or handling them? or we can’t get BEAST for other reasons?
- Quite a very nice question and difficult to answer too. First, Is CUBE willing to to send BEAST here? Yes, they do but in some conditions. Of course, as we said earlier the local producer/distributor of BEAST must first comply or respond to them that they are willing to hold the concert here. But this local producer/distributor must be able to get a promoter first that could help them with the production of such a huge concert. And these promoters are expecting that a lot of people are anticipating such an event so that the risk that they will be taking will not be wasted. They will not just risk money, they would spend time, manpower, effort at all cost and they are expecting a run for their money, that at least they would have more in return, and same goes for CUBE as BEAST is one of their biggest idol group in the company, we can’t simply expect that their price is simple. But this part is definitely reasonable as we all know, BEAST is oozing with talent and the money we will be spending for the ticket if ever this happens is not put to waste. So, to sum up the answer to your question, it is really getting a promoter that is willing to take a risk in producing them is the main problem because all the other problems is already connected to this.
28. Will they have a fansign event?
- As we have mentioned before, we still can plan on the activities that could happen if Beautiful Show happens in Manila. we don’t want to pre-empt anything or plan ahead when nothing is clear yet.
29. Would there be a VIP Section? How much is the VIP?
- As a common set-up to KPOP concerts in the Philippines, yes of course there is A VIP Section but we still don’t know how much it will be priced if ever this event takes place.
30. What’s the probability of having a show here in Manila?
- Probability? We could say that if this survey becomes successful then there is a probability that they would come here and have the show.
31. How long will BEAST stay here if Beautiful Show happens?
- This question is another difficult one because in every country they visit, they have different plans, when we went to watch Beautiful Show Singapore, before we all got to Singapore we all know that the day after their show they will be leaving for Seoul already but they didn’t since they wanted to enjoy the tropical weather in the area because they don’t experience that lot in their country. So it will still depends on their schedule if it will not be so busy.
32. If the show pushes through, where can you contact BEASTPH?
- we have always been online everyday in BEASTPH fanpage over FB and in the forum. You can always drop a note there or email us at beastph@gmail.com
NOTE: Those questions that were not yet answered will be answered later & those who still want to ask questions could email us at beastph@gmail.com

Kikwang Donation Birthday Project 2012
Hi, everyone... As you all know Kikwang’s bday is coming up. Aside from the AVP that we will launch on his birthday, which contains the entries you sent us for “Do it like Kikwang Project”, we are planning to donate something to World Vision in behalf of Kikwang's. This will not only make him happy once he learned of it but also we will be able to help those who are in need. In this connection we would like to ask a few donations in monetary format. It doesn’t have to be so big, it’s your own prerogative with regard to the amount. Anything that we would collect will be put together and we will pick a gift from their catalog that we can afford. We would also create another AVP about this said project and the names of the donors will be posted there as part of our documentation. All AVPS can be viewed later on in beastph official youtube channel. Here is the World Vision Gift Catalog: http://www.worldvision.org.ph/ways-to-give/gift-catalog ...
*Donations will be accepted until March 28.
Apology
We apologize for not giving updates in a while. Our staff members had been pretty busy with both school and work. Just like BEAST, we are on hectic skeds.
But we are very happy to let everyone know that with more than a month of being quiet, we gained more followers and B2UTY friends not just in the Philippines but also in other parts of the world like Canada, Australia, Italy, Venezuela, Russia, Spain, Brunei and even USA.
Also early this month some of our staffs met with B2STSG staffs personally in Singapore before the Beautiful Show concert was held in Singapore. Yes, some staffs flew there personally to witness the concert and to meet with other b2uties not just from SG but also from Malaysia and Thailand. It was quite an experience.
KPOP indeed iis uniting the world in one voice. And it is through music.
