BEAST將按原計劃於16日在日本發行首張專輯，但是演出全面取消。經紀公司Cube娛樂15日表示：“我們本來準備取消專輯的發行，但是14日和環球日本公司討論後，得出了似乎很難延期發行專輯的結論。日本通常會比正式發表日期提前幾天將專輯投放市場，BEAST的專輯在11日就已經送達商店，所以我們無法取消。”

公司還表示：“對於專輯的發行我們沒有辦法，但是表演已經全面取消，比如定於週末在環球日本攝影棚中舉行‘Shock’的首場舞臺就已取消。”其他公司也發現專輯取消或延期比預想中的困難。一位相關人士說：“向日本方面諮詢取消日程，但是並不容易。”

Over the next few months, a representative contingent of Korea’s top idol singers and stars will be crossing the East Sea towards the land of the rising sun in order to try their hand in the increasingly-competitive Japanese music market.

With all these stars heading over to Japan around the same time, one might begin to wonder, who’s really going to be successful?

The people have spoken, and it looks as if Lee Seung Gi, everyone’s favorite MC/actor/singer, is expected to spearhead this next movement in the Hallyu wave. ‘Monkey3‘, a Korean music site, recently conducted a poll and found that 45% of its respondents (234 votes) believed Lee Seung Gi would make it big in Japan. Netizens have commented, “The way to succeed in Japan is through singing“, “In Japan, the dramas “Shining Inheritance” and “My Girlfriend is a Gumiho” are already well-known“. Lee Seung Gi is due to start his promotions this month in Japan, complete with performances and fan meetings.

Coming at second place is 2NE1, who recently released a Japanese version of their single, “Go Away“. They garnered 22% of the votes (115 votes), and B2ST came in 3rd with 18% of the vote (92 votes). Meanwhile, 2PM came in 4th place with 6% (32 votes), and SECRET and After School came in 5th and 6th places, with 6% (29 votes) 4% (20 votes), respectively.
