K-pop idols BEAST jumped for joy on Mnet's music show last night after scoring their third straight win for their latest dance tune. The six-member boy band's title track "Beautiful Night," listed in their fifth mini-album "Midnight Sun" released on July 22, was honored with its third consecutive win on Mnet's "M! CountDown." The electronic dance tune continued to put up a strong fight against songstress BoA's "Only One" and solo artist PSY's "Gangnam Style." BEAST's rapper Yong Jun-hyung expressed his gratitude for their third win, while Yang Yo-seop thanked everyone at Cube Entertainment, producers and choreographers as well their BEAUTIES [official name of BEAST's fan club]. The boys then bowed to the crowd and began jumping for joy during the encore performance. BEAST broke into the music scene with the debut album "Beast Is the B2ST" in 2009 and has produced a number of hit songs such as "Shock," "Mystery," "Beautiful" and "Fiction."The boys marked their return to the local music scene in over a year with fifth mini-album "Midnight Sun" and have been promoting "Beautiful Night" on televised music programs. ※ Any copying, republication or redistribution of 10Asia's content is expressly prohibited without prior consent of 10Asia.
