BEAST fans voice out their anger regarding broadcast editing of "Dream Concert"
BEAST fans (B2UTY) are protesting against the recent broadcast editing of the group's "Dream Concert" performance that recently aired on KBS.
The "2012 Dream Concert" took place this year on May 12th at the World Cup Stadium in Sangam-dong, Seoul and was finally aired through KBS 2TV on May 30th. This year, idols such as TVXQ, Girls' Generation's Taetiseo, BEAST, 2PM, MBLAQ, 4minute, SISTAR, Secret, Infinite, T-ara, Teen Top and more participated in the concert.
BEAST's performance of "Fiction" and "Shock" was included in Part 1 of KBS's broadcast of the concert. However, BEAST's "Fiction" performance, which was the last stage to be broadcast in Part 1 of the concert was abruptly cut so that the commercial intermission could be played. This has angered a lot of BEAST fans who had been looking forward to their performance.
In addition, BEAST's "Shock" stage did not make it in the broadcast, leaving the group with one incomplete performance aired on television. Artists who participated in this year's concert had at least 2 songs or 1 song broadcast, and fans protested that BEAST did not even have a complete performance aired.
Following the broadcast, fans immediately protested against this on SNS. A petition has even started regarding the situation. BEAST fans are demanding that KBS apologize for their actions.
What was your first reaction when you saw BEAST's performance cut?

It's not like these fans haven't seen them perform "Fiction" before. It's pretty much always the same. But I guess fans always need something to complain about. Gives them purpose, haha.

You might think everything's the same but BEAST fans don't. International fans can't attend or even watch every performance and this is one of the bigger events that always gets filmed. It's pretty disrespectful of KBS to cut a top group's song yet continue to use footage of the group's fans throughout the broadcast. But I guess other people always need to complain about fans.

I was just trying to shed light on the situation. But it's understandable that they're upset. I guess I would be a little annoyed if some groups got 2 performances showed and BEAST didn't even get one.
