Part 2 : Hanako Interview
Yonghwa who is in charge of vocal and guitar received great interest even in Japan through his role as Shinwoo in the Korean drama ‘You’re Beautiful’. Rather than an actor, he’s actually a member of the popular band CNBLUE.
The magazine photoshoot was at the same day as SBS Inkgayo live show where Yonghwa was active as an MC. When he came after the broadcast finish, the joy that the show gave still remains with him. “This is just the beginning, i will try to work harder to be better” he said with a smile.
We let him knew that the staff came for a visit, “Really? Where were you? from there? That means it was very far from where i am!” he said suddenly looking like a normal boy, his surprised and embarrassed looked was very cute.
Advancing to be a top star, CNBLUE.
Becoming the model for the Korean cosmetic brand [Holika Holika], the shop in Myeongdong is filled with signboard and posters of the 4 man.
“But we don’t really notice it. Actually, we don’t really do long walk in the streets these days…(laughing)” said Jonghyun, who played guitar and also vocal. He used to have a long hair but after cutting his hair short, he looked more friendly and gentle.
answering the questions he explained, “these days we don’t have time to practise for live shows”
After the success of their first live concert, the four man currently in the peak of their Asia tour. In Aug, Hongkong, Singapore, in Sept, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan and next month China.
“Did many fans Japanese come to support you?”
“A lot of people came..” from here on, Jonghyun started speaking in Japanese.
CNBLUE, before debut in Korea active in Japan as in Indie band group.
While living in Tokyo by themselves, they needed to bring their own heavy equipment around doing more than 100 live performances. Jonghyun‘s own composed song ‘Arigatou’ (Thank you) was written in Japanese, and the song they performed in Japan, Now or Never and Teardrops in the Rain also appeared in their Korean album in Korean.
Talking about CNBLUE, of course their best selling hit in Korea this year ‘I’m a Loner’. The two vocalist strong gaze onto the camera while singing and through the impressive melody expressing the grief of losing a loved one.
Rare to see a guitar band in Korea.
They bring a unique sound just like in the 60′s, this young man anxiousness and romantism can be felt.
Such strong gaze into the camera, strategy to bewitched the girls?
“That’s what a band is! In the broadcast, the camera followed us, it’s a bit nerve-wrecking, the only thing to do is to look straight into the camera” said Yonghwa. Furthermore, the tall slim members grace the stage with their well-fitted suit.
Do CNBLUE do sports?
Jonghyun: “No. We don’t have time to exercise now. Our muscles are hiding now”
Yonghwa : “Rock bands have always been skinny. So we’re heading that way. A muscly man playing in a band don’t really look good”
Jonghyun: “yeah. Just a well toned body. I like that”
The youngest in the group, Minhyuk and Jungshin are the same age. The two in charge of cleanliness in the apartment where the all 4 of them lives. Out of the four, they said Minhyuk is the best in cleaning.
Jungshin : “Me and him are roommate, i like that we’re together. I hope we will be always in the same room together in the future (laugh)”
Minhyuk : “Haha. Jungshin listens well to my story as a friend and he also gave me advice on my problems”
The drummer and bassist who is in charge of CNBLUE rhythm part, even though they’re the cute little brother but they’re also the one who holds up the group.
Meanwhile, the senior team…
Yonghwa : “I hope Jonghyun do more cleaning”
Jonghyun : “Ei.. Yonghwa hyung, u’re not in a place to say that~”
Yonghwa : “Aa~~ My face packs. You use it as you please! Those are expensive!!”
Jonghyun : “hahahahaha”
The conversation continue like this…
A cool image on stage and in the MV but at the same time an honest and straight forward attitude, the best 4 people. From here then on, please give much support to this promising artists.
