CNBlue's Jungshin Injured During Concert

CNBlue Bassist Lee Jungshin

Oh the troubles of being an idol and doing fanservice. I think CNBlue bassist, Lee Jungshin, will need to be a little more aware of his surroundings from now on whenever he goes to greet their fans.

The young idol went out to shake hands with fans after a concert in Hong Kong. As he was reaching out to some of them, he suddenly dropped off the edge of the stage, falling about 4 feet to the arena floor.

It took fans, and his bandmates, by complete surprise. I don't think they realized the edge was that close either. And arena staff and security quickly swarmed to his aid, removing a barricade. His fellow band members, Yonghwa, Jonghyun and Minhyuk were shocked, but couldn't hide smiles of amusement afterwards.

Yet...only drummer Minhyuk reached down to help Jungshin up. Geez. Thanks a lot guys! It must've been hard for Jungshin to gauge the distance to the edge with all the lighting.

Unfortunately, Jungshin suffered a hand injury as a result of the fall. This quite a bit troubling since, as a musician, use and dexterity in his hands is vital. Although not much else is known at this time, I hope he has a speedy recovery so he may continue rocking his heart out!

Free K-Pop Concert in LA!

It was announced back in February that KBS and the Korean American Federation of Los Angeles were teaming up together to put on a FREE K-Pop concert in Los Angeles on April 12th at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Yes, you read that right. I said "FREE".

They weren't much details at that time, but today they sent out an update via social media that tickets were going on sale via Ticketmaster starting Saturday, March 29th at 10am PST.

Do the groups SHINee, 2PM, CNBlue and SISTAR sound familiar to you? They're just part of the lineup for the concert!

So if you live within the greater Los Angeles area or are willing to drive down to watch the concert, make sure you get your tickets before they run out!

Get your tickets while they are hot on Saturday, here!

Good luck all you lucky people!

CNBlue Wraps Up Blue Moon Concert in Manila!

I've been so wrapped up in We Got Married drama that I didn't post this earlier!

I've been seeing the promos for CNBlue's Blue Moon Arena Tour for this summer and I saw that the hardworking rockers of CNBlue have been busy. They had a stop in Sydney, Australia (where it was super hot according to leader Yong Hwa) and now have posted these awesome photos their concert from Manila, the Philippines.

It looks like the guys really brought the house down!

CNBlue Still On Hot Streak

Compounding on their successful concert stint in London, England, K-PopRock group CNBlue sold out their 8,000 Seoul concert "2012 CNBlue Live Blue Night in Seoul" within 10 minutes.

Yes, that's 1-0 minutos. For 8,000 seats. How many groups do you know that can do something like this? (Well, I can think of one other, but that's another story.) I don't even think that an American group would be able to pull this off. It is simply amazing!

A couple of years ago, these guys were just coming off of the streets of Japan. They were gigging on the streets. And now, they all have acting roles under their belts and are global stars. (At least, that's what the MAMA's are considering them as.)

These fans can't get enough of them. And they only have to wait a mere couple of months for their next album debut in January 2013. (I'm pretty excited about that!)

So proud of these guys. I hope they can continue this streak of theirs!

Go go go CNBlue!

Celebrating CNBlue!

Well, the concert is over and done with. And survey says...CNBlue is a hit in London!

According to a review in the Korean Times, it is "the best live K-rock gig" they've ever enjoyed. Considering this is the first time that a live K-PopRock band has ever played in Europe, it seems that CNBlue had made quite a first impression! Who's next? They're already asking for FT Island!

To celebrate their successful completion of their first European concert, I've complied a video playlist of sorts on this post which includes some of their most popular songs.

Please enjoy! And keep on rocking!

CNBlue Stunned By Fans Awaiting at Airport

The members of CNBlue (minus bassist Lee Jung Shin, who is currently wrapping up a drama) were taken by surprise when they arrived at London's Heathrow Airport on Thursday, September 20th.

So were the airport security as they had only anticipated the initial 50 or so fans. But thanks to social networks, more fans flocked to the airport as soon as they knew that the band had arrived. A mass had arrived so fast, more than 400 fans, that security had a hard time escorting the young men safely to their transportation.

For those of you not in the know, South Korean K-PopRock band, CNBlue, is now in London for their concert on Saturday, September 22nd.

Fans and die hard Boices, pronounced as "voices" but beginning with a letter "b", (CNBlue's official fan club) will certainly be in for a treat. If their performance earlier in the United States was any indication, the young men of CNBlue are no ordinary boy band. They actually rock on the stage, actually interact with the audience, and not just "perform". They are the real deal.

I hope they get to perform a lot of Jung Yong Hwa's songs since he's been actively composing since promotions for their album, "Ear Fun", ended earlier this year. But I also hope they'll perform their oldies but goodies such as "Alone" and "Love Girl" for their fans.

I'll be interested to know how many times Leader Jung Yong Hwa screams "make some noise!" to all the attending fans. He seemed to love that expression! I'm sure he's added more expressions since then.

Get ready to rock, London!

CNBlue Going to London!

Are you ready London?? Make some noiiise!! As I posted earlier, one of my favorite bands, CNBlue, will be holding it's first concert in London, England on September 22nd. That's this weekend already! How exciting!

The group is getting ready to leave South Korea. I'm sure the fab four has a great concert planned and I hope their fans in Europe mop up whatever tickets are left over.

The guys will be nervous being in a new country and all, so please be kind to them. And don't forget to rock out!

Jung Yong Hwa, Lee Jong Hyun, Lee Jung Shin, Kang Min Hyuk, hope you won't be scared. Have fun, do your best! CNBlue, hwaiting!

FT Island Completes Concert, Reveals New Album

South Korean K-PopRock group, FT Island, rocked it on the home front with their 2-day concert entitled "Take FT Island" on September 1st and 2nd.

It was the group's comeback concert in about a year, and fans, like myself, had been anticipating something good. (although, since I don't live in Korea, I was out of luck for a ticket) Fans were anticipating the concerts so much that the concert tickets sold like hotcakes, selling out in a manner of minutes.

Fans that were able to nab these hot tickets were treated to a full concert that included previews of songs off of the groups next album which will be coming out on September 10th.

It is rumoured that it will be at least a 10 song album, with 5 new songs and 5 songs written by members Lee Hong Ki, Choi Jong Hoon, Lee Jae Jin, Choi Min Hwan and Song Seung Hyun. But, whether or not the 5 songs written by the members are all new and original songs, have yet to be seen.

Earlier in August, Hong Ki had tweeted from his account that they were back in the studio recording, to which Leader Jong Hoon tweeted from his account, "Let it go!" which caused fans to wonder if they were rejiggering the same song off of their Japanese album.

New songs or not, I don't think these fellas could do no wrong. It's very apparent that they are loved and loved very well by their fans.

I am hoping they continue to mature in their sound. After their last album, "Grown Up", they showed that they were no longer the shy, bubble pop rock group that debuted years before. Instead, they established themselves as men who were ready to declare their own individuality, ready to set themselves further apart from groups still stuck in the dance hall music techno sound.

I have a high hopes for their next album, and I will look forward to any news and/or reviews of it when it finally breaks in Korea on September 10th. I hope FNC Entertainment will make a smart move and make it available to the rest of the world via iTunes.
