2pm does have the ability, but Beast is not bad either. How can a singer with no ability survive in this industry...
Beast debuted in 2009, and until now It’s been 5 years since I debuted in 2013. I’m not sure about the route I’m going to take...
In terms of popularity, I wasn’t very popular when I first debuted, but I was still somewhat famous because member Lee Ki Kwang had a lot of fame before he debuted as a member of Beast. After a period of solo, there were still many fans because of AJ's identity, so some fans knew Beast because of AJ. Later, Beast's popularity increased a lot due to songs such as "Shock", "Myself", "Soom", and "Fiction". Especially after his comeback with "Midnight Sun" in 2012, he swept every music program.
Captain Yoon Doojun’s popularity has greatly increased through his role in "All My Love", and he also won the title of "National Boyfriend".
Team member Li Qiguang’s performance in variety shows has also been liked by many audiences, and he is also very good in acting.
The "Trouble Maker" formed by team member Jang Hyun Seung and 4minute's Hyuna has also made many people aware of the group Beast.
As for Yong Junhyung, he can sing rap very well and is also very talented in writing, so his ability is also recognized by many people. Although he is not as good as GD, he is still very powerful.
Although lead singer Yang Yoseop is not big, he is very powerful. He is recognized as a good voice in Korea, and his performance of "Caffeine" was also well received. In a word, he is a great singer.
As for maknae Dong-woon, there is nothing particularly outstanding at the moment. If I had to say it, it would probably be his appearance. Although he is the youngest in the team, due to Yang Yoseob's childlike appearance, no one usually knows that he is the maknae without looking at the information... but his appearance is indeed very handsome, like a foreigner.
Based on the above, it can be seen that Beast’s popularity in South Korea is medium to high, and in China it is medium. It seems that the company decided to develop mainly in Japan and South Korea from the beginning (I am not sure about this, I just heard that explain). Compared with 2pm, it is certainly not as popular as 2pm. After all, 2pm is the senior, and Beast's management company is not as famous as JYP, SM, and YG. However, I am also very optimistic about Beast, because their abilities are really good (of course, there are also a few reasons for their appearance), but their songs are really good. If you are interested, you can try to get to know them.
