CNBLUE members
shared about the hardships during their trainee days and commented “Before
our debut, the five years of training felt like being in a music jail.”
They said they
get along together as a band because they live together like a family.
CN BLUE latest
single “Where You Are” written to describe someone who had a complicated
conflict with himself
About their
latest promotion they didn’t get a lot of pressure to themself because the
truth was, they didn’t have high expectation, but the results were
very good. Furthermore they received a lot of attention and love so they are
always in good mood.
What the CN
BLUE members do if they're in a misery
YH : In order to relax, I will sleep
MH : I will listen to music, have a walk on
my own, or think about other thing
JS : will sleep too, when I woke up I have
forgotten about it. If that fail, I will exercise mind control to overcome that
weak feeling!
JH : I will listen to music , or exercise,
try to do everything that I am able to do. If all of that fails, then I’ll stop
doing it all
They
have been living together for this passed 5 years, this year.
They
were got once have a fight, they already know what each of us loves and hates
and purposely avoid what others hates. So they seldom got into a fight.
Everyone always said that “The ground gets harder after rain”or“man need to fight to get even closer”, but we really are an
exception Min Hyuk Said.
They
get along well, but the younger brothers seem to be scared of us, the older
brothers *did you mean respect?
Yong
Hwa claimed “No other group is closer than us”.
Jungshin and Minhyuk are the members who wake up early, meanwhile YongHwa
and JongHyun are the member who staying up late because they have work
to do, so they sleep late.
They
don’t really have close friends in entertainment industry. They never going out
for personal matter with them. *where have all the CN BLUE-oppas been this pass five years?!
maybe that's why they're so close each other..
They got
their cellphone early this year. *Chukkae oppas
They have
never drunk even these days, even Yong Hwa. Min Hyuk loves fruits,
while Jung Shin likes salad. Yong Hwa likes meat,
Jong Hyun likes spicy food.
“CN BLUE
has not changed from 2 years and 3 months ago. Their struggle to show
improvement and their passion toward music are evermore reaching a new depth.
Their teamwork, solid. All the more reason to anticipate how CN BLUE
will turn out in 20,30 years.”
Said JongHyun
The boys
personally brought up this idea in celebration of Children’s Day, which
is on May 5th in South Korea. CNBLUE partnered up with their fans to
donate and support ‘CNBLUE School‘, a charity project school in Burkina
Faso. The school will be attended by 100 pre-schoolers and 1,000 elementary
and junior high school students .
The thing CN BLUE
guys do before your live perform is
Shouts (yell). They says like “Let’s play with dedicate our life!”
If they were not a
member of CNBLUE.
YH: ”I’m still a trainee of our
office.”
JH: “Athlete. I was doing Judo, I was
going to go into high school as sports recommender.”
JS: “College student studying photo,
or model.”
MH: “I think I’ll become a college
student.”
What motivated you
guys to start band?
YH: “When I was in a junior high school, I
had a friend who was good at guitar.
I asked him “please teach me”.”
JH: “At first I was singing alone, but
when I saw Eric Clapton-san,
I thought I wanna play guitar.Besides, I saw Bon Jovi-san, I thought I
wanna play as a band.”
JS: “When I was in a junior high
school, I saw Billy Sheehan-san, Mr.BIG bassist, then I was
into playing bass.”
MH: “Since I saw MAROON5-san, US
rock band. Vaguely I started playing drums though, when I saw QUEEN,
Roger Taylor-san, I was into playing drums. I thought it’s cool to singing
while playing drums.”
The reason why CN
BLUE is a rock band instead being a BoyBand because all of them can't dance
well. check it one of the 'We Got Married' when SNSD's Seohyun
teach them to dance, they're so lacking on that spot.
If something
happen to them what did they do?
MinHyuk will think of a way to resolve this on
his own.
JungShin will lay on the bed. And
Jong Hyun and Yong Hwa will express our
opinion.
CN BLUE concept of love and their ideal type
*are you in?
MinHyuk : like a girl with a beautiful eyes and
simple (he doesn’t like something flashy). He like it if they love each other
and if they could he want to travel together and focus on their lovey dovey
relationship
Yonghwa : He love a girl with beautiful clear
eyes long hair, honest and pure, he like a girl who can choose her
appreance according “TPO” (time place and occasion). He will deeply fall in
love with her and make her to be the best woman, ever.
JongHyun: Jonghyun had a lonely childhood. So
he needs a girl who is calm, laid back, and ingenuous charm. The important
thing is he need someone who can understand him
Jungshin: he is the one who will whole
heartedly love one person, he wish she will love him back. He also like a girl
who has beautiful eyes fair skin and generous. Jungshin has very high standard
about woman, he’s so picky.
Finally we reach on 21
Hope you enjoy it!
