The latest release of the "Shock" singers was their first studio release "Fiction and Fact," dropped in May 2011, which has produced hit songs "Fiction" and "On Rainy Days."

The group followed it up with their digital singles "I Knew It" and "Living Without You" early this year.

BEAST has been focusing on their individual activities such as their taking part in various overseas music festivals, such as starring in TV series and musicals and appearing on variety programs.

The boys also held their world tour "Beautiful Show," which began in Seoul in February and continued to be held in Germany, Shanghai, Spain, the United States, Canada, Toronto, Singapore, Japan, Thailand, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Hong Kong and the Philippines.
