I started noticing them a while ago. I saw this vid:


which was i think the first promotional video ever released of them

I know I thought Lim Han Byul was the best (in terms of singoing and looks XD) but because there wasn't any other clips of them, I forgot all about them until the "tado suju" clip came out.

i'm anticipating their single~

this is not a presentation
that's a topic starter

you were allowed to copy my text from who?
and why do u need to copy my text?
u are a lil confusing actually


madelyn♥donghae
welcome

ah hanbyul
he's cute
the hyper one


my fav for now is still tomo i think

i am waiting for the official mv too
their song 1,2,3,4 is quite catchy, i like it

Aw thanx to JQ for posting the vid i didnt even know it existed til now

From the vid, who Han Byul Oppa is good in english unlike Jang Moon oppa who i cant even understand i expected him to sing since he is a lead singer but still why didnt he sing in korean? that would have been ok i should stop complaining cuz he is supposed to my my favorite
In Kyu oppa is good at dancing im gonna him that
Hai Ming gege and Jang Moon oppa look alike maybe its cuz of the hair. I think I like both of them but watch me change once they come out with the official MV

Dang all of their last names are the non-common korean ones no wonder they were put together. jk

When is the single being release anyways? they have been advertising themselves for practically a wh9ole month now its tme to actually release something!

Nad, I thought you dont like Tomoki-kun cuz u said i was advertisng him too much and is Han Byul oppa that hyper i thought the hyper one was Jun Jing oppa, maybe he just talks alot

nah haynbul is the hyper one since he is the magnae
u like jangmoon why?
although i must admit he is kinda cute

my choice for now is tomo and ingyu
if u keep on promoting tomo
i might just choose ingyu
he is kinda cute too

OH i didnt know that. I thought it was jung jin oppa cuz he as the one jumping around and beng all talkative durint all those vid clips of the guys meeting other idol groups. But i guess he is just trying to be the leader
Well since they have no offically debuted i based my preference on look so i picked Jang Moon oppa cuz he was cute and hes not the leader or magna or the oldest of the tallest plus he is one of the lead vocals so he has to be good at singing. I like singers so yea plus he can play the piano

Why do u like Tomoki Kun? Cuz he is half japanese huh? i knew it! but he does get alot of screen time though.. he even gets to stand in the middle of the promo vids so thats hinting that he is gonna pushed more into the public eye
InKyu oppa? since when do u like rappers? its cuz he can dance huh?

actually u still didnt answer my question...

actually in the vid of a'st1 promo on mcountdown
hanbyul is the one who has the confused look all the time
but i want him to be the hyper
cause he is the smallest and youngest


why i like tomo
u endorse him to me aish

yeah yeah yeah his half breed help too

i like ingyu's eyes

InKyu oppa has big eyes and their double lids too wow people are gonna drool over him.
I thought u dont like magnaes i like how he knows english i couild understand all the words in so sick and its not even cuz i know the song no wonder he is one of the leads Btw i didnt notice his pouting.
Haha my advertisment worked? I thought u would have staretd hating him cuz he is overhyped by me im just glad that he can speak japanese cuz i can understand him! yay.

his eyes is gorgeous
and since i already my small eyes in shinhwa
and beautiful eyes in ss501
i need big eyes in a'st1

jk

aish there u go again
getting excited over tomo

update guys!!!
(who am i talking to? hell even i dont know )

According to Yesasia, the first single of the guys will be available on April's 21th.
There are 5 songs in the CD and this is the cover:



01. 1.2.3.4. Back
02. Show
03. Funky N Roll Tonight
04. You
05. 내가 바보였어

yay finally some new update on them

i am so happy
soon we are going to have their songs

Tomoki kun is cool so thats why i have to promote him he looks like warrior
In Kyu oppa's eyes arent that big are they? oh well maybe its cuz i dont pay enough attention to him
I wonder in that group who is gonna the flower boy that always dress up nicely? I wanna say that its HanByul oppa cuz he is hyper enough to do that but he doesnt look like the self prasing type

Psh and u said its may.. well its a good thing its in april cuz im gonna lose some of those excitement but now that its on april 21 yay thats not so far away.

yeah finally some news about them
well i predict wrong...


good
cause i really want that 1234 song in my player

it's good


they will debut on
24th April 2008 on Mnet M!Countdown

which is next week

hi.. newbie here~~
i'm azuma lover~~
=P
i already listening to their songs!!!
and...AWESOME!!!
i love their VOICE!!
kyaaa~~ >__<

hi oly chan welcome
u like tomo
aish he is famous nei?


ha ha ha

u have heard their songs?
which one is ur fav?

their ballad song doesnt hold much of my attention
actually


you is nice...
and i'm a fool is just so ss501 for me

but they sounded like really different when it comes to their fast song
it is good
1234 back is too die for....
funky n roll tonight is really is funky, love the beat
and show, i am just madly in love with the chorus rite now

so cool
ha ha ha

this is like spazzing time


ah since i did share this in another forum
i dont see anythingw rong of sharing it here too


gyu one
is mine
yes he is mine

others are up for grab
if u want

A’ST1
omg of course they meet ss501! i wonder what if A’ST1 actually became more popular than SS501. Like the way how DSP is able to know how to promote them better than Kara, after learning their mistakes. But i love love love Kara too, not trying to say anything bad.
They debuted with an older age than SS501. When SS501 debuted, they were like 18 and 19. A’ST1 are in their early twenties, not that it's bad.



not sure if this is true.
credit: alltalkpop

I kinda forgot what i said haha so im just gonna come in with a new convo
First off i like their songs, their all cute pop songs which i havent heard in a while so yay for AST'1

As for the AllKpop thing.. AST1 did realease a promo that said "down with super junior" but then they went to suju and say that they respect them.
I dont wanna explain the whole SM/DSP deal so im just gonna say that its all a hoax to get fame to both group

AST1 more popular than SS501? well they are getting alot of attention from the pomo vid but idk.. i guess they could eventually but right nonw they are not even in idols yet. They need to at least make it to the top 10 song list to even enter the idol competition.
So i wanna know how long it will take them to enter the idol world

ast1 more popular than ss501
that will take some time ^__^
i support both group but my priority will always be ss501
sorry
they are still newbie have yet to debut
so they need to achieve all ss501 did then i will call them as ss equal...

like dbsk and suju
although suju is more popular in korea but dbsk is more well known outside
so that's the same for me for ast1 and ss too

for now let just support them and wish all the best
^__^

ast1 is diff genre with ss actually
while ss is more rock pop
ast 1 is more to funky music

I dont wanna compare the two til at AST1 offiically becomes idols. I wonder if they can beat SS501 in that, if they do then i would be impress if they take longer than they would seem plain to me haha. I wonder if 1234back would be enough to do the trick that would be cool... cuz usually bands have to release at least two MVs and do like 5 shows with good ratings before they get dubbed as idols (dont count DBSK).

But u like Suju more than DBSK so should u really use those two as an example?

To me their music is kinda Jazz pop.. which again is really refreshing cuz its a new style that I have heard from any band. And their voices are all so sweet.. though there isnt really a deep voice in there.. if u count HanByul oppa as deep, i dont thats just middle loud to me. I think they need a tenor in the band so that the sound would be more balanced.

their song is more to funk actually
kanjani8 of korea? without all of those craziness though

it's kinda good to see dsp trying the music business with a group that does
diff kind of music
they are still will be regarded as idols soon
but at least they are marketing diff market now


i just hope that their instant rising doesnt mean instant failing...

ss501 waited a full one year before
they can officially debuted cause of saeng's throat surgery
straight after they debuted,
they are being bashed from left to right by dbsk hardcore
their warning mv got like so low rating is utube only cause of cass...

at least a'st1 is not facing that problem
in that sense they are more lucky
(elf is more concerned about sujuM )

What? elf would still attack AST1 cuz the banner they wrote, those girls dont have lives so all they do is syber wars
looks like the guys are in for some trouble in the future now.
Idk.. i mean i like the song 1234back but is it enough to make them idols? they have to gain fans while fighting off anti at the same time. Its what the music world is but idk if they are gonna succeed right away. Its no doubt they will eventually become idols but the question is when cuz its not like alot of poeple are looking their ways.
Funk? oh sure... w/e u say the point is that its different.
Idk ... instant failure had worked for DSP *coughsunhnacough*

yeah i know, i was just saying, because ast1 firstly got a promotion in china really quick.

So why did they change their name?? revolution to ast1?? umm. wonders.
anyways, SS5O1 is already compared with DBSK, now AST1 with Suju.

well since ss is not promoting there so we cant judge
beside i really wish both group all the best that they can


it's good if ast1 will get some promotion on china
hopefully hai ming has been teaching them chinese
cause they might need that
^__^

it's the fan and media that keep on comparing them
and by mentioning it all the time
can be considered as comparing too

some comparing are good
and some are bad

that's all

Ok lets not compare them to Suju now.. there is like 15 of them running around with those 9 SNSD girls.. we dont need to add 6 more to the mix

Since when are they gonna be in china? psh and neglect japan? tomoki kun knows japanese too so he can teach that them.
Oh u know what woulkd be cool? if they start to learn both so then each of them knows at least 3 languages and hanbyul oppa can decide to teach them english too see thats how real idols should be. know more than one language!

isnt the debut later this week? yay its getting closer. all though i have all the songs, theres no surprise song but still i wanna see the MV. and dont tell me that they wont have one cuz they will ir not i would stop coming in here

it's tomorrow actually
i wont be uplaoding it to my channel but i have a few frens that has been
uploading the ast1 vid so i will be bringing any new vid to this thread
^__^
and dont worry nii
they will have the mv

i think they will focused on china for now
since ss501 is focusing on japan already

and here is the debut stage.


I am mad that i can see half the time cuz the lighting sucked. and they cut their hair yay! the long hair was starting to bug me.
First off i was right!!! my guesses on the voices were correct i am so smarrt! And since i was correct im gonna have to say wow jang moon oppa his voice is so cute.. it was my favorite when i was still guessing. ok its official he is my favorite!
Then there is han byul oppa he is amazing too.. i think he is the only one that can go up so high and bring it back so low. he looks like a mix between Dongwan/Minwoo oppa on that stage.
So i guess the one with the deepest voice is jung jin oppa. i kinda expected that to be tomo kun but wow he went so high! he surprised me... in a good way
Haiming gege barely had a line
Inkyu oppa.. very nice rap,

my opinion?
it's not bad
not great awesome amazing or out of this world
just not bad
it's their debut so kinda understand that
hopefully in time they will improve themselves


jm looks so hawt with the new hairstyle
loves byul, appa, jm and tomo's voice

haiming has the wave like mal and
byul is like minwoo


other than that?
the lighting is too bright

the debut is okay...
that's all

I think it would be nice if someone could post lots and lots of pics of them,
cause they dont really have alot....(and yes I no they just debuted) it would
be nice.:] Please and thank you.

Tomo kun~ soooo cute ^^ he is lyk my fav!!
Han Byul is also very cute!!

Can't wait til they have more performances!! i really wanna c how they go when they sing live. But i rkn its gonna b good since DSP groups such as KARA and SS501have not disappointed me with their singing skills!

A'ST1 hwaiting!!

I wish i can post pictures but the guys donest really take pictures. I thought they wou;d have had a photoshoot done by now but nothing
And where is the MV? aish

I think alot of poeple like Tomo kun cuz he has the fasseto voice that just stands out. I didnt expect him to be the one that can do that but wow... thats amazing!

this is the channel that u want to suscribe if u are a ast1 fans
this is their subbed vid channel
enjoy

eng subs

Part 2 part 3
wow Jang moon oppa suck at dancing.. its a good thing he has a cute face and lovely voice, if not he would have been kicked out of the group so fast

ah well
some is good in dancing
others are just pretty
and some is just perfect
like that guy ^
mal....

ha ha ha

anyway second batch





credit as tagged

Psh ok no Horse talk in here there is no horse in AST1.
Well Jang moon oppa is good at singing and his voice is enough to cover his sucky dancing anyways. Besiedes now that he looks amazingly hot no one is gonna get pass his face to notice his awkward dancing anyways.
Ah the power of good looking

They look so much better with short hair, cuz the long hair styles were eating at thier faces cept for jung jin oppa's his was just uneven and even now its uneven. what is up with that? he is capable of pulling off an even out hair style.

appa can have anystyle he watns and he still look so damn hawt

do u know that the most childish one in the group is not byul nor appa
but it is tomo actually
he is so hyper
cute kid


anyway

pics from their debut perf

why is the stage red? isnt it green? or did they have two stages? ive only seen the Mnet one
Dude its been like a week and there is no MV? what the heck is that? who debutes and not have an MV to promote or even does any variety show. They could have at least showed up on SGB or something like that.

Haha ok im gonna start calling him appa too. anyways his hair is uneven and that bothers me. they could have at least even it out when they changed his hair

Its not shocking that Tomo kun is like that.. i mean just look at him and the intro that he did in japanese u can tell that he isnt the queit type like Jang moon oppa over there btw in japanese his name means friend/friendly just an interesting fact. the first character in the kanji means friend and the ki means tree but together they turn into freindly person or caking becuase a friend u can lean on is what his name means unless i am thinkng of the wrong Tomo kanji and then in chinese the kanji turns into admire (i think). Basically i like his name its very nice.

it's appa birthday today
^__^

Yay happy birthday to Appa! I hope he has a wonderful celebration with the members and his family
dang i was gonnas say that he is old but compared to some idol groups he is still young only 21! no

Actually i didnt relase this but AST1 is young.. half of them is as old as the Big Bang boys and jang moon oppa.. aw right now he is only one year older than me, and 2 in korea wow something i coud biuld on
But seriously I thought they would be older.. i was expeccting Tomo kun to be at least 23 aand the rest of the guys in thier 20s but wow only 2 of them are actually there...

their look is kinda old
some of them are at the same age as ss501

maybe that's why
ss seems compatible with ast1

cause they are at the same age range...

hello everyone
walala new here but appear to see the same people
found them through super junior because of the little incident haha
but i think the song 1234 back is quite catchy
the opening reminds me of american boyband nsync xD but yea

it was so cute when they met SuJu ^^ they were all so cute together and stuff hehe

*still working on names*
(at one point whilst watching one of the videos i thought one looked like xiah junsu... is it just me?)

ah....... u must mean nii then
she is universal
u can see her everywhere
ha ha ha

welcome
they all look so different from each other so
it wont be that hard to differentiate ecah one of them

one look like xiah?
maybe it is just u

lol yea nikki is everywhere in the korean section
haha yea they do actually look really different
its just that now i have to attatch names with faces xD
yea in one video i thought someone looked like junsu... its probably just me... lol

does anyone know what they've been doing then?
and when they were on the mnet challenge, is that like an ongoing thing? or like a few episode special sort of thing?

psh no... SS is older their literal sunbae.
A'ST1 is not old.. well comepare to me their not but the rest of the idol world they are not in non korean years Jang moon oppa is still 19 and so is Hai Ming Gege. and Magnae Han Byul oppa is just 18. That is young, they havent even hit their 20s yet.

hey chi! yes yes i am everywhere
anyhow welcome.
Which one looks like junsu oppa? on the debut stage, is it the one that sang second? His hair is the ame as junsu oppa's cept its black. He is my favorite but i dont see the resemblence maybe its cuz u are thikning of DBSK so thats why u saw that kinda thing.
The guys have just finished Super Concert thingy with SS501 Wonder Girls Suju ect.
Speaking of them DSP and SM made a little deal thingy with this debut challenge.. but since A'ST1 arent actually idols yet their not threat to anyband right now
wait n'sync? really?

pics spam

credit a tagged if there's any
i forgot where i take this

i mean around the same age

whatever...
ha ha ha

the one that sing second is moon? rite
shhsh i am old and i forgot
or is it appa?
aish...

i didnt hear any nsync in the song
they are more funky than pop
so for me too
ha ha ha

yes the second to sing is Jang moon oppa dont argue with me! i would know how when he sings
Han Byul oppa starts the song and then he moves aside and Jang moon oppa shows up and sings
then they do the group chorus still with jang moon oppa singing the lines after each chorus line. then tomo kun comes out with his fasetto voice, Then appa shows up. see i know the pattern already cuz i am just that good

well its cuz i have other things to do. if they would actually do something after the debut stage i would have paying more attention to this thread
why are they so quiet anyways? they need to go out there and do some promo so they can even get into the idol world and start the competiton with the other idols

anyways here is the HQ of their stage, u can actually see them now Jang moon oppa's hair and voice reminds me of mr otter well now we all know which one im gonna like the mostr btw Tomo kun hunges (sp) alot, hes gonna get some back priblems if he doenst start dancing wth his back straight.


cartoonheroes@YT

yeah i know what u mean
he hunches alot as if he is the hunchback of the notre dam
especially when he is dancing
he look awkward
and makes his upper body looks big

anyway

http://flvs.daum.net/flvPlayerOut.swf?vid=usQpfpAXBoY$

this is their rehearsal for some perf
i dont know and they are performing live
not bad seriously not bad

He should stop.. even though he is young its gona add up in the long run and come back to haunt him.
I wonder if he had gotten rid of that its really not good and it ruins the way he dances. He is one of thoe guys that has broad shoulders so he doesnt even need to hunch and he would have broad shoulders.
Besides how does he sing so high when he is hunching like that? his diaphram cant be too healthy if he keeps bending like that when he sints fasetto.
