CNBLUE First Teaser Release Date Postponed Again:





Early January, FNC Music reported that CNBLUE will be releasing their first formal album on February 23rd. Unfortunately, we reported earlier this month that both the album and the teaser will be postponed. The album was postponed yet again, and it is scheduled to be released on March 21st.

After the postponement, FNC Music stated that the teaser would be released on February 28st Korean Standard Time (KST); however, the teaser’s release has been delayed yet again.

The following messages was just posted on CNBLUE’s Official Website:

“Hello.
This is the fanclub manager of FNC Music.

Through an official announcement, we had said that CNBLUE’s first teaser would be released today, the 28th; however, for a more complete and thorough album, it has been decided that the teaser will be released a week later, on March 7th.

It was a decision made in order to better the quality and completeness even more because it’s CNBLUE’s first formal album. We ask that BOICES be patient and understanding of the decision.

We apologize for being unable to keep our promises, and CNBLUE will return with a better album with BOICEs’ love and support.

Thank you.”

[UPDATE]
Perhaps it's an apology gift of sorts, but FNC Music just released a teaser photo.

[Interview] Han Sung-ho Interview in You’re Beautiful Guidebook Vol.2

Mr. Goguma and Hongstar




Translator note:



Mr Han is the president of FnC Music, as he’s the producer of YAB OSTs, there’s this long interview in the Japanese guidebook. I read the full Chinese translation of it. And below is my English translation based on that. Sorry that I only translated Yonghwa/CNBLUE related Q & A’s.



Q: How did FnC Music artists Lee Hongki and Jung Yonghwa get the chance to do this drama?



Director Hung had seen the fashion brand CF by FTIsland and he found their band image matching that of A.N.JELL very much. He said, “Let’s meet.” I took Hongki along when we first met. He said, “I want the role of Shinwoo be played by a band kid too.” At that time, CNBLUE was having indie activities in Japan and it’s not long before they’d debut in Korea, so I suggested his meeting them too. He asked, “When will they come to Korea?” For the audition, I had them come to Korea for one day. He met with Yonghwa. Yonghwa played the guitar and sing at the audition. Seeing his performance, Director Hung thought Yonghwa was perfect for the role of Shinwoo.



Q: How did you feel about the audition result?



Actually even before the audition, I thought Yonghwa really suited the image of Shinwoo. Yonghwa is a vocalist who plays the guitar and he gives the impression that he’s quite mature.



Q: So it was decided Hongki and Yonghwa would participate in the drama, what were your thoughts then?



Of course I was happy. He was just a newbie but got a great role. Yonghwa wasn’t at the top of the list during the casting process and so I was surprised. On the other hand, without Yonghwa, the other CNBLUE members had a hard time with their Japan activities at that time. (Laughs)



Q: Tell us a project which you really chased with time doing.



Yonghwa sang ‘Because I’m a Fool’ in the drama. I was to have him cover a song by foreign artists. But I couldn’t settle the copyright thing in time, I just wrote a ‘confession’ song myself. I started writing it at 2am the night before the scheduled filming. As Yonghwa would have to film the singing within an hour, I had doubts if he could memorize the lyrics and guitar chords. I actually recorded the guitar accompaniment on a CD to be used for the filming. But it happened the CD player broke down. So I had Yonghwa listened to the song on the set. He had to overcome the great difficulty of memorizing the melody as well as the lyrics within a short time for the filming. Anyway, he pulled it off.



Q: Hongki and Yonghwa’s music sense in the drama and OST?



The two are basically born singers. Of course they did very well. Hongki is in FTIsland, which music style resembles that of A.N.JELL much. But Yonghwa’s style doesn’t goes with that of A.N.JELL, so he didn’t sing in the OST at all. He just did the rap part in ‘Promise’.



Q: How do Hongki and Yonghwa go along with you, the producer of FTIsland and CNBLUE?



Hongki is a moody person; he is often affected by people around him (Laughs). If he isn’t in a good condition, he can’t even show 10% of his ability. At times like this, recording has to stop. I can see he works by pure talent. He debuted early and has a carefree personality, so he can be his own self even in front of me, a totally difficult-to-get-along person. As for Yonghwa, he’s still kind of nervous, feeling uneasy in front of me. A few days ago, we had recording for the first Korean full album, I said to him, “When you were doing the debut album, you couldn’t use your voice very well actually, but you’ve improved a lot now.” He smiled. I think he feels more comfortable in front of me now.



Q: CNBLUE is quite popular now. When did you start training them?



Right after FTIsland debuted. We planned to have another band with a style totally different from that of FTIsland. We began with a music style in mind to pick suitable band members. Jonghyun’s tender loving feel can be a great support to Yonghwa’s rhythmic style. If I say FTIsland is a band of strong vocal lead and melodic style, CNBLUE is a very modern band of strong rhythms.



Q: What was Yonghwa like during his trainee days?



Actually, he skipped lessons most among all. But he was the most serious one after debut. All CNBLUE boys are honest hard workers. Of course they have born talent, but they surely gained the present abilities more by working hard. When Yonghwa first came, he was the oldest among them and he often had this puzzle: “Can I get along with members younger than me? Can I be really good in the band?” Maybe he really had a bad time, he once said, “It seems I’m not doing well at all in CNBLUE.” Hearing that, I had a staff member go tell him: “There’s absolutely nothing unsuitable about your being a member of CNBLUE, please try harder and see how things go!” Even now I say this to that staff member from time to time, “If we hadn’t stopped him from leaving, Yonghwa would be living a very ordinary life in Busan now!” (Laughs)



Q: Why did you send both bands to Japan?



Up till now, Korea’s music market isn’t that big. There are little opportunities for indie band performance. The condition in Japan is much better however. And in Korean, FTIsland and CNBLUE are ‘hand syncing’ during performance and have been so misunderstood. We have actually predicted criticisms along that line. If circumstances allow, we let them play their instruments live. They do the instrument parts all by themselves recording the albums too. We were worried that they’d just be criticized without their growth being seen as budding bands and would therefore disappear in the music scene too soon. That’s why we say: “Go to Japan and perform a lot. Be more like a band before you come back.” Still there’s this kind of comment: “CNBLUE actually has a talent agency, can they be considered an indie band?” But we just helped them with their basic living essentials there. They carried their own instruments around, traveled by trains, living exactly like any other indie bands. To the boys, the criticisms targeted

at them by people having no knowledge of their history hurt them most. But I think they wouldn’t survive anyway if they couldn’t stand such prejudiced comments.



Q: How would you like to see the two bands to grow?



Both are star groups recognized in both Korea and Japan now. I hope they can still be recognized as bands even if they have solo activities or appear as actors. Now there are many idol groups entering the Japan music market. But they aren’t all idols, some have strong focus on music and can thus gain some status.



Because of FTIsland and CNBLUE, many new singers have become very interested in instruments and are planning to debut as bands. To get into the mass, these boys have got to make those criticisms resulted from ignorance vanish. That requires their working even harder and to be recognized overseas is a must for that.

C. N. BLUE First Step (teaser)

CNBLUE’s Yonghwa resigns as “Inkigayo” MC, IU & B2ST’s Kikwang to take his place





For eight months, CNBLUE’s Jung Yonghwa has been MCing alongside 2AM’s Jo Kwon and f(x)’s Sulli for SBS’s “Inkigayo“. The star has decided that it’s time for him to retire his ‘Inkigayo’ mic, and he plans to bid farewell to viewers during this week’s episode.

According to an SBS representative, Jung Yonghwa will be hosting his last episode on March 13th. He decided to end his ‘Inkigayo’ career because his schedule was becoming too packed; Yonghwa will not only be preparing for CNBLUE’s upcoming promotions, but he will also be filming for MBC’s new drama, “Festival“. He also has to film for MBC’s “We Got Married.”

The sunny MC will be replaced by not just one, but two MCs. “Inkigayo” will be introducing IU and B2ST’s Kikwang to MC alongside Jo Kwon and Sulli for future episodes.


I guess he leaves the show because of the "festival" to be with Shin Hye, that would be so sweet if this is the real reason,

OMG ! I really can't wait for the Festival, I really miss Shinwoo and Minam!

F.T. Island & CNBLUE leave Korea for MBC’s ‘50th Anniversary Korean Music Wave Concert’




More of Korea’s top idols have left for Bangkok on the evening of March 11th to prepare for their performances at the Rajamangala National Stadium on the 12th.

MBC decided to hold their “50th Anniversary Music Wave Concert” in Thailand, and so the media had parked itself at Incheon International Airport to capture shots of idols departing.

Many stars showed off their ‘airport fashion’, and FnC Music labelmates, F.T. Island and CNBLUE, are the latest idols to be snapped as they showed their casual denim outfits.

WGM couple Seohyun and Yonghwa Couple already has come to it's end.





For the past months we have received such questions like "When will Seohyun and Yonghwa's last episode air?", "Is this their last episode?" and so on and so forth...

Sadly we have an answer to that now as the producers of the show "We Got Married" have confirmed their departure by saying:

"Everything has an end. We have been carefully discussing about their leave with their agencies for a while now, it was a tough decision. In contrary to all the reports, we have not yet filmed their ending, it will be recorded sometime next month and it will be made as beautiful as possible to show what the couple wants."

They have been on the show since February 27, 2010, it has been over a year and with their upcoming hectic schedules, Seohyun preparing for SNSD's Japanese promotions of "Mr. Taxi" and "Run Devil Run" single, Yonghwa preparing for his upcoming drama titled as "Festival" as well as C.N Blue's comeback, I guess this is really inevitable.
