#2017: Yong Hwa films Running Man in Hong Kong

2011-12-06T02:05:00.002+08:00

Lately, Yong Hwa made a trip to Hong Kong with the Running Man crew to film a special episode. As they ran around Hong Kong, many fans followed and I am sure it was messy and chaotic but the crew looked like they had a lot of fun anyway!

Here are some videos and photos of our leader in action!

the famous Hong Kong melody~ Hilarious to see Yong getting punished, actually =p

Even though CNBLUE did not attend the 2011 MAMA held right here in Singapore, they still received the recognition as the "Best Band" from Mnet!

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR BOYS

We are really glad that despite having strong and improving competitors like FTISLAND who were leading strong in fans votes, CNBLUE still managed to win the hearts of the judges and emerge as the Best Band.

Good job and we hope they will be even more driven to produce good music next year!

Sad news ahead.

Hello
This is FNC MUSIC.

This is due to the Indonesian promoter has breached the contract and we just couldn’t continue the showt due to lack in many things and trust issues, FNC MUSIC side has been released some requirement/message for promotion, but this requirement doesn’t mean it has been exactly decided.

As the result it has caused inflict and disappointment, we’re really sorry.

To many fans in Indonesia we apologies to all of you.

We were trying to resolved the problem with the local company to conduct a concert in Indonesia.

Once again we’re so sorry.

Thank You.

I am sure ALL BOICEs are very upset now, regardless of whether they are going or not.
But those who already bought the tickets and air tickets are definitely devastated.

Cancelling a concert 48 hours before it happens really says a lot about how the management handles the artistes.

HAIL CNBLUE'S MUSIC, ONLY MUSIC.

#2009: CNBLUE MAGAZINE INTERVIEW

2011-11-03T21:51:00.005+08:00

CNBLUE in B-pass Magazine

Some translation for b pass magazine

Reporter: The last place of December concert is Tokyo Yoyogi statium?
Yonghwa: Yesterday, we were very happy in Yokohama arena, but next is Yoyogi statium. We used to watch it when we performed on the street. It really makes my heart flutter.
On the other hand, I think we must practice harder and show better shape on the stage.
Jonghyun: I can't believe we can stand on the Yoyogi stadium, I still think it can't be possible.
Yonghwa: If all of my dream come true, I want Tokyo Dome. And as a band, definitely I want to perfrom at Budokan. And finally Tokyo Tower! (All laugh)
Jonghyun: But where should the audience be?
Yonghwa: They can see us through LED screen on the ground. Ah there is a sky tree.

Reporter: How is the Seoul Namsan tower?
Yonghwa: It's on the top of the mountain, not many people will come. (laugh)
Jonghyun: Then (The higest building in Seoul) 63 building! We sing on the rooftop, and let's make the whole building body a relay screen!
Yonghwa: We are not allowed to enter 63 building rooftop, we can't! (delicately realistic)
Minhyuk: Then what is higher than it?
Yonghwa: Lastly, Statue of Liberty in New York! (All laugh) On the flame in the hand.

Reporter: There is a Statue of Liberty in Odaiba, Tokyo too.
Yonghwa: No, that's not. (laugh) I want that in New York!
Jungshin: You can dream highly.
Yonghwa: Yes yes. So, from next year, Tokyo Dome, Tokyo tower, flame of Statue of Liberty. Dear staffs, please help us.

1. What's in your head now?

Yonghwa: Practice, practice, practice, practice........
Jonghyun: CNBLUE, practice, concert, guitar, music.... I'm too busy to think other things.
Jungshin: CNB...(while talking, Yonghwa interrupts, "Jungshin has nothing in his head") I have! I think of band!
Minhyuk: I want to do better, want to try more, playing the instruments and MC.

2. What's your latest dream you dreamed?

Yonghwa: I keep dreaming of something scary. I am chased and run away. Maybe that's because I am so busy like being chased?
Jonghyun: I memorize the lyric even in my dream. (laugh)
Jungshin: I often see school days in my dream.
Minhyuk: Scary dream. I never dreamed before, but recently, I dream of making mistakes or doing something wrong.

In the popular drama “You’re Beautiful,” Jung YongHwa played the character called ShinWoo. At last, the band he belongs to has made the major debut in Japan. Their first full album in Korea “FIRST STEP” recorded the sales of more than 100 thousand copies, of which only CNBLUE, TVXQ and BIG BANG achieved this year. Since they have already established themselves as artists, many Japanese fans have been looking forward to their long-waited major debut.

Of course CNBLUE said that they longed for the challenge in the Japanese major music scene as well. JungShin expressed his joy “In Japan we learned a lot from indie activities for two years. Since our major debut was decided, we do have higher expectations as well.”

In fact, they came to Japan in June 2009 for music “knight-errantry (musha-syugyo)” and stayed for half a year. Gaining experiences at clubs and on streets, they’ve released seven CDs from indie label.

MinHyuk: “The reason why we chose Japan is because the band culture here is more well-known than in Korea. Actually our activities in Japan strengthen our bonds with each other and grow our music up.”
YongHwa: “We as four members started band activity because we were eager to do it. So, we decide for ourselves to have “knight-errantry (musha-syugyo)” in Japan.”

They express their enthusiasm for the music in the single “In My Head,” too. They showed the strong motivation for the dream directly in the music.

YongHwa: “We consider our passions as very important. That is why we chose such masterpiece as our major debut song rather than romantic song. Because of that reason, we’d be pleased if our passion gets through to the people in Japan.”
JongHyun: “Also, our characteristic is that we write songs by ourselves. It is often the case that YongHwa composes upbeat numbers like “In My Head” and I compose ballad numbers like “Rain of Blessing” which is also included in the CD. This way, that both of us can write songs of different numbers that seems to extend our music genres.”

CNBLUE has full of talent for the music and all of them are good looking, so you’ll wonder what kind of woman is their ideal type.

MinHyuk: “My ideal type is one who looks pure and innocent. And I like someone who I feel comfortable to be around.”
JongHyun: “I like someone who is fun to be with, too.”
YongHwa: “We have irregular work, so all want is someone who understands my work and conforms to me.”
JungShin: “I think if she can get along well with me, that’s all. Nationality or age don’t matter, so Japanese women are welcome, too (laugh).”

CNBLUE Talks about Music and Their Ideal Movie Date in TV Taro

CNBLUE is a highly regarded orthodox band for their multiple music numbers and the competent live performances by twin guitars & vocals. They name various musicians who affected them in their music lives, from Eric Clapton and John Mayer to Backstreet Boys, GreeeeN and flumpool. This October, they made the long-awaited Japan major debut.

――As it contains three songs including the title track that YongHwa composed, please tell us what each song is all about.

JongHyun: “‘In My Head’ has a meaning to introduce us again.”

JungShin: “The lyrics have our feelings that we want to tell.”

YongHwa: “Since we brought a passion into each track, I want the listeners to pay attention to both of the melody and the lyrics.”

JongHyun: “The second song ‘Mr.KIA’ was composed and written by YongHwa. We put in it our rebirth and mind never to forget to be humble.”

MinHyuk: “The third song ‘Rain of Blessing’ is a ballad tune composed by JongHyun.”

JongHyun: “It’s like an ending of a film, a number that is to end with receiving rain of blessing. Perhaps you’ll feel a story nature if you listen to all of the three songs in order.”

――At Yokohama Arena, you performed live overwhelmingly.

YongHwa: “At our live concert held in Korea just before the Yokohama concert (BLUESTORM in Seoul), we played with live strings. But, since it was the last indie concert, we wanted to stand on the stage by ourselves.”

JongHyun: “Yes, that was the concept. Especially, I was deeply moved at the last song ‘a.ri.ga.tou’ because all of us sang it.”

YongHwa: “I was really pleased that JungShin and MinHyuk sang it.”

JongHyun: “MinHyuk sang the whole song alone at the live concert in Korea.” (Star – Heartstrings OST)

MinHyuk: “I always take back chorus to help YongHwa and JongHyun, but trying to sing properly, I couldn’t take vocal well… (Embarrassed)

JungShin: “It’s hard to sing while playing drums.”

MinHyuk: “Yes, it was fun though my vocal wasn’t perfect.”

JongHyun: “JungShin, you can sing more and more from now on, too.”

JungShin: “I have no desire for vocal (laugh), so I concentrate on playing the bass.”

――I suppose you are very busy, when do you write songs?

JongHyun: “In my case, I don’t consider it as work. I do song-writing as a part of my life, like a hobby. Sometimes films and dramas inspire me to write. And as for playing my guitar, songs come in mind spontaneously. Unless I play my guitar every day, I can hardly grow.”

YongHwa: “I write songs after work every day, too. I compose melody and arrange it at the same time on my computer.”

JongHyun: “Maybe that’s why YongHwa’s songs are experimental and have fresh feelings. But most of my songs are basic. Also, I think about performing it at live concert first, while YongHwa makes a study on the song and has priority over fun of arrangement. This difference between us may be the character of our music.”

――How is your future direction as a band? Is there any change after major debut?

JungShin: “There’s no change that we value our fans and enjoy ourselves at the live performances.”

JongHyun: “Yes, I felt that we were able to make this arena live concert not only by ourselves but also with the audience, we made it together. I’d like to do flexibly and have fun with everyone without deciding our style or colour.”

YongHwa: “Now, I’m thinking of a song that will surprise everyone, but I wonder if it is acceptable…”

MinHyuk: “It is nice that our fans would play and enjoy our music together, but I want to value fans’ voice, too…”

YongHwa: “But I think our fans understand my thoughts and songs, so we won’t need to worry at all (laugh).

Which do you prefer?

Q1: Shine or Rain

Q2: The Rolling Stones or the Beatles

Q3: If you see a movie on your date, love comedy or action movie?

LEE JONG HYUN

A1: Shine. I don’t really like strong sunshine, but it’s better than raining. But I often write songs about rain (laugh).

A2: Difficult! The Beatles as the music, and the Stones in the meaning that I want to continue long-term like them.

A3: Love comedy. But it’s up to her.

JUNG YONG HWA

A1: Rain. I like the sound of rain, too. When it’s raining, I become sentimental and feel like writing songs.

A2: The Stones. The album that Mick Jagger released recently is great!

A3: To be honest, I want to ask her to see a horror film, but if I had to choose one, it’s love comedy. But I won’t see the one that the hero is good-looking (laugh).

LEE JUNG SHIN

A1: Shine. Because when the weather’s fine, I feel good.

A2: The Beatles. I have loved their songs since I was a child. But I prefer the Stones as a band style. It’s the same as JongHyun (laugh).

A3: Love comedy. We’re on date, aren’t we? As for action film, I go with male friends.

KANG MIN HYUK

A1: Rain. I like watching something falling from the sky, so I like snow as well. I also like being under trees on a fine day.

A2: Although I like both, I choose the Beatles. Their image is nice.

A3: Love comedy, because I think it’s better to see a comedy and laugh on a date.

CNBLUE released their debut single “In My Head” on Wednesday 19th October. And on Sunday 23rd October, they held a live event at Yomiuri Land East Open Theater.

This event, in which only the fortunate fans could participate as they were chosen out of all the CD buyers by lottery (lucky draw). The events was held in four sessions in two days. The previous day, Saturday 22nd October, two events were held in Osaka. For those two days in total, they have gathered about 14,000 fans to all four events.

The live concert started with “Man in Front of the Mirror” at the venue packed with lucky fans that were chosen through the lottery.

YongHwa (vocal & guitar): “(Finally) we could have our major debut, thanks to you all! We want you to listen to our new song!”

He greeted the fans and unveiled “Mr.KIA (Know It All)” and “Rain of Blessing” for the first time, those tracks are included in the major debut single album.

“Mr.KIA (Know It All)” is a cynical track, written and composed by YongHwa.

“Rain of Blessing” is a lyrical ballad track, composed by JongHyun (guitar & vocal).

The venue gradually got heated up.

Then as soon as the intro of the long-awaited debut single “In My Head” started, the fans cheer reached the maximum!! It was wrapped in such a large chorus in the fine weather of autumn sky.

After finishing their live performance of all the 6 tracks (excluding the encore), including three new tracks in their major debut single “In My Head”, the talk session gave the audience the glimpse of CNBLUE members’ real face and they also talked about the roots of music for each member’s music life.

Their roots of the music life are:

#1198 : CNBLUE in Flying Postman Press

2011-10-24T00:18:00.002+08:00

Introduction
CNBLUE is an established rock band from Korea, they have great popularity in Japan too. Recently, they concluded their Japanese indies activities at Yokohama Arena, and finally they had their major debut single “In My Head” on October 19. Their music has catchiness like Maroon 5 & the heaviness like Linkin Park. This band’s music sense of scale is far beyond than just a K-POP group. J-Rock bred hybrid sound will attracts Japan, and the world too —-.

Page 1

‘Step by step, we aimed to make major debut’
– Why did you want to be a band in Japan?
JS: One of the reasons is because Japan has a well-developed band culture. There are many favorite bands. We wanted to compete with them as a band, so step by step we aimed to have our major debut here (as a band). So we are really happy now.

– Why did you feel attracted to the Japanese music scene?
YH: It is different from Korea, there are unique colors in it. Especially the indies scene, right?

JH: and there are many live houses, there are many unique bands. I feel that the Japanese bands are really enjoying their music. We were studying in Japan for six months, we’ve been playing at many small live houses, we were many inspired from the bands who played together at that time.

– Your average age is 20 years old, did you aim to be a professional band when you were first formed?
YH: Yes. we want to be professionals, we started towards being the professionals.

Page 2

‘We performed Opening Act for Linkin Park Japan Tour, I was really impressed at that time’
– So why did you start music?

JS: When I was in junior high school, my friend introduced me to Mr. Big. I felt that “To Be With You” is really good song, then i wanted to play the music. I wanted to play many various instruments, but I was very attracted to that heavy sound, so I began to play bass. I yearn to be like Mr. Big’s Billy Sheehan or Jaco Pastorius as a bassist.

YH: When I was in elementary school I listened to Bon Jovi. I wanted to sing like Jon Bon Jovi, so I practiced singing so hard. I had impact also when I met Linkin Park in junior high. We performed as the Opening Act for Linkin Park Japan Tour this year, and I was really impressed at that time. So then..it would the best if we could play with Bon Jovi too in the future (laugh).

–　I’m looking forward to that day (laugh). By the way, YongHwa-san’s guitar is Gretsch White Falcon, who inspired you to it?

YH: Actually, it is from the manga “BECK” (laugh). I saw it when I was looking for a guitar which would symbolize myself, then I tried to play it, and it sounded really good.

JH: I was the one who suggested “BECK” to him!

YH: I just remembered (laugh). But this White Falcon looks like a little luxurious, it’s perfect for me, right (laugh)? ..sorry, just kidding (laugh).

– (laugh). Do you two often talk about the guitar?

JH:　Yes, often. I also like Bon Jovi, when I listen to Richie Sambora’s guitar, I thought that I wanted to play in a band.

–Those are your similarities. Is there anyone else?

JH: When I listened to Eric Clapton, I was attracted to the guitar. After that, I knew John Mayer etc, more and more I drawn into it, especially i became to love of Blues.

Page 3

‘”In My Head” has a modern taste plus contemporary essence, I think it finishes off with fresh feeling’
–I think Jonghyun-san’s guitar ability really expressed such taste. How about Minhyuk-san?

MH: I was learning classical piano since kindergarten up till junior high. After that, I listen to music and with friends and began going to watch the live, at that time I listened Maroon 5 music, so I was interested in bands. It was then I started playing drums.

– Classical piano and drums, you’re like YOSHIKI of X JAPAN!

MH: YOSHIKI san is the best drummer I think!

YH: It is good. ENDLESS RAIN~♪ (started to sing)

JH: (laugh)

YH: I like L’Arc~en~Ciel too.　I came to like “GTO” anime, because they sang the theme song.

– The different cultures are mixed, forming their knowledge of music.

YH: I think so. We listen to various kinds of music without limiting the genres, it has influenced our sound and it is also became our strength. I think it will really be expressed in our songs from now.

JS: For example, “In My Head” has a modern taste, plus contemporary essence, it finished with fresh feeling I think.

YH: When I listen to this “In My Head”, I feel a rush of sensation in my body. I think such energy is transmitted to everyone who listened to it.

JS: And “Mr.KIA (Know It All)” is rhythmical and groovy. “Rain of Blessing” is a ballad written by Jonghyun with a romantic feel.

YH: I’m studying the music equipment and arrangements, because I want to show the various expressions in our band sound (music). In this song we finished with another instrument, what we used to play always, like a synthesizer. I really enjoy creating a sound like that.

Page 4

‘We keep developing more and more, we want everyone to be touched by our future songs and live’
– The title song “In My Head” is especially a large scale song, like it’s targeted to the world music scene rather than Japan.

JH:　Our dream is to be the No.1 on Billboard! Now, it is not just a dream, we are working towards it for real.

JS: I think it is possible!

YH:　To that end, I think we always have to show that we are evolving. We want to show more and more, far beyond the expectations of everyone who support us.

JS: To do so, together, we each have to raise up our skills as musicians, and we need to keep time with us. I think it is important.

MH:　No doubt. To express our music and do performances better, it is important that we work hard together.

– Lastly, please give a message to your fans that support you in Japan.

YH: Thank you so much for always supporting us. When we were in indie scene, we were studying and working. But after this major debut, we want to show you our profesional activities more. Then, we will keep developing more and more, we want our future songs and live to be felt by everyone. Please expect a lot from us!

THE STORY about ‘SMILE’
JS: To me, the first one is playing music live. Playing is fun for me & seeing audience smile makes me smile too. And GyuDon (laugh)! We have been eating it since the first time we came to Japan, it is delicious!

YH: When ‘In My Head’ finished I was very happy so I smiled a lot. And Japanese ramen (laugh). It always makes me smile when I add in rice or noodles.

JH: I like Japanese Onigiri (rice bowl). It has various tastes, my favorite is Mentaiko (raw cod eggs with chili) the most. If there’s one in front of me now, I think I would eat it right after this interview, it makes me smile instantly (laugh).

MH: We are living together, we are not bored (with each other) even though we have stayed together for so long. Especially Jungshin, he always makes me laugh. If I face a little hardship, I smile just because he is there.
