They then released their first full-length album, Fiction and Fact, in 2011, receiving their first triple crown on M.net's M! Countdown for their lead single Fiction. In the same year, Beast made their Japanese debut with the release of the single, Shock (Japanese Version).
The group gained attention for the lack of industry success previously experienced by its members, with media outlets referring to them as "a group of recycled material". However, the group has achieved significant commercial and critical accolades with time, winning the Bonsang award at the Seoul Music Awards in both 2011 and 2012. Beast won the Artist of the Year (Daesang) award at the Melon Music Awards and Album of the Year for Fiction and Fact at the Gaon Chart Awards for the second quarter of the year in 2011. "Fiction" also won a Daesang for "Song of the Year" at the 2011 KBS Music Festival.
In 2012, Beast went on an international tour, "Beautiful Show", which visited 17 cities in 12 different countries from Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. They were also featured in the soundtrack for Korean drama, "Big," with a song titled "Hateful Person".
On July 11th at midnight KST, B2ST held a 'Hang Out On Live Air' event on their Google+ page to commemorate their 1000 days as a group together since their debut in 2009. They spoke with fans from 50 countries and revealed information on their comeback. Despite it being a late live-streaming session, many fans tuned in to show their support for B2ST.
They are planning to have their comeback with a new mini-album called Midnight Sun on 22.07.12. They also plan to release a new song titled Midnight ahead of their album on 15.07.2012 at midnight KST. Midnight has been said to be a song that will grab attention with its piano and guitar sound and the dramatic vocals of the members of B2ST.
Hours after the release of their song, Midnight, it has reached an 'all-kill'. They achieved #1 spots in all of Korea's real time music charts such as Bugs, Melon, Soribada, Daum, Mnet, Cyworld, Olleh, and Naver. B2St released a theme music video for their latest single, "Midnight". It shows the members walking through a quiet neighbourhood and shows solo shots of each member.
On July 21st, B2ST released their 5th mini-album Midnight Sun. It gained the #1 spot on music charts with the title track "Beautiful Night" being promoted. It rose to the top of Melon, Mnet, Soribada, Naver Music, and other music sites. Many could tell that B2ST's comeback was successful because all their other songs on the new album took up high places on the charts. Nearly an hour after their mini-album was released, the music video for "Beautiful Night" was released on B2ST's official YouTube channel.
On August 16th, B2ST won a triple crown on M! Countdown for "Beautiful Night" which achieved top spot on the charts for three consecutive weeks.
