The idol group Beast will begin their first world concert tour next year from February. Beast's agency, Cube Entertainment, held their annual conference at Lotte Hotel on December 26 to publish their plans for the next year, and said, "Beast will hold a concert tour by visiting a total of twenty-one cities in fourteen countries beginning from the Seoul concert at Olympic Stadium on February 4 to 5". The concert tour entitled "2012 Beast First World Tour - Beautiful Show" will be held 35 times (estimated audience size is 200,000) in three countries in Europe including Germany, England, and Spain, two countries in North America including the USA and Canada, nine countries in Asia including Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

The agency is planning to present their best performance ever during the concert tour by utilizing 3D special effects and other cutting-edge technologies. The six group members of Beast will participate in the planning of their concert. Cube said, "The concert will be subtitled 'Made by Cube and Beast' as the ideas from the group members will be fully included". Beast will introduce new songs during the concert tour by holding the concert right after they will release their new songs. They will release two to three songs while holding their first series of concert tours from February until April, and then they will release another new album after they finish the first concert tour. Beast will meet their fans again with their new album at least by May. Cube is also considering holding a concert in South America. They said, "We could not include concerts in South America to the schedule of Beast's world concert tour due to the issue of leasing the concert hall, but now we are discussing three countries in South America including Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. Even though we have plans to visit Europe during the first half and North and South America during the second half of next year, we can rearrange the schedule and visit South America first as soon as we can reserve a suitable concert hall in South America". The group members all agreed that they will present a mature appearance and better performances during the world concert tour. Yong Joon Hyung said, "Our goal is not attracting more audience members and selling more tickets, but presenting satisfactory performances. We feel a kind of responsibility of revealing more about K-Pop during the tour". Jang Hyun Seung said, "I think that this is an important opportunity for Beast to grow up as a real artist. We will begin the world concert tour beginning from the concert in Korea, but we will never forget our fans in Korea while holding concert tours in other countries".

In addition, Cube published the debut schedule of new groups during the conference. The representative of Cube, Hong Seung Sung, said, "Our company will make the seven-member group debut at around February. The cast members who live in the rented room of Cho Kwan Woo as the characters who are waiting to debut as a singing group in the JTBC sitcom program entitled 'We Live in Chengdamding' are actually our members who will debut soon. They will debut as a singing group in the sitcom soon and they may debut at the same time in reality. The timing might be the same". Cube is also planning to make a new girl group debut in the second half of next year. Hong continued, "The girl group will debut in the second half. We are also planning to form a band group next year". He revealed that the girl group 4Minute will make a comeback in January and the new singer Roh Ji Hoon who came from the MBC audition program "Great Birth" will debut at around May or June.
