Ginger Magazine, November 2011 Issue
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).”
