B2ST‘s leader Yoon Doojoon shared some thoughts ahead of the group’s last performance in Japan.
On March 27th, the singer wrote a post titled ‘Ay-yo‘ on his official fan cafe.
“We only have one performance left in Japan,” he began. “It’s so exhausting. While putting on five performances back to back, there are an infinite number of thoughts that ran through my head, and a lot of things also occurred during that time.”
“My throat that seemed just fine during two days of performances in Seoul is becoming more hoarse with time, and my knee that seemed like it would be okay is starting to become really painful. I was so exhausted that after Yoseob & Junhyung‘s ‘Thanks to’ performance, I went backstage withDongwoon and complained about how exhausted we were. Our manager hyung then told us about something he read in ‘Mister Sushi King’. ‘There may be 100 different sushi pieces to a chef, but to a customer, there is only the one in front of them.’ Hearing that, Dongwoon and I who are devoted readers of ‘Mister Sushi King’ then got our act back together.”
“There are a few fans that come see us perform so often that we remember their faces,” he continued. “These people may see us and be understanding that we aren’t feeling our best that day, but the fans who are seeing us for the first time will remember us in that image / moment forever. I reflected back on myself and wondered if I have been always giving my 100% singing and dancing on stage. I asked myself if there were any performances where I didn’t try hard enough. And being human, I realized that I hadn’t always given my all or my best. I am reflecting on these actions, and I promise you- B2ST has many more performances to put on in the future than the number of performances we’ve put on until now, so we will always do our very best.”
He added, “It’s already been 3 years since we debuted. After B2ST came A-Pink and BtoB. Watching music programs, I realize that we have more junior artists than seniors now. I have become 24 years old and my body isn’t the way it used to be in high school. As I grow older, I realize how precious each and every single day really is. I am so glad I am able to sing and dance in front of so many people, and grateful that I’m living a unique life where others are envious of what I do.”
B2ST kicked off their Japan tour by performing in front of 23,000 Japanese fans at the Yokohama Arena back on March 21st & 22nd, and wrapped up their final Japanese performance in Nagoya on the 27th.
