CNBlue Stunned at Airport

European Boices (pronounced as "voices", but with a b) rejoice! CNBlue has arrived in London for their concert on September 22nd.

The almost all of the members of the South Korean K-PopRock band arrived in London on September 20th and were stunned to see more than 400 fans waiting for them at the airport. Lee Jung Shin, their bassist, was finishing filming on a drama he was doing and is expected to join them soon, if not there already.

Security had a difficult time escorting the men safely to their cars since they had not accounted for so many fans at the airport.

This just goes to prove how strong the K-Pop wave is. What a change it has been in the past five years where no one except for Asia knew about these unique boy bands. Now, they have taken the world by storm. In this case, CNBlue storm.

What I like about this band is that they actually play instruments, they are live, up close and real. Not really choreographed. To me, this makes them a whole lot easier to relate to.

Will be looking forward to reviews of the concert! In the meantime, I hope the fans treat them nicely and with care. It will be hard to resist them, but please restrain yourselves. Hee hee.

FT Island's "I Wish" Concert Teaser

I was surfing the net for updates on FT Island and found this clip that their agency, FNC, released on the group's YouTube channel.

The clip is footage of the group performing a bit of their new song, "I Wish", at their concert either September 1st or 2nd. (Video credit to FNC and FT Island. Video from FT Island's YouTube channel)

I'm watching this clip, and I'm thinking, boy, you take out the girl in the video and it's a totally different look. Well, that and the fact they are all sweaty and not really acting that is. *fangirly squealing*

Hong Ki, of course, is utilizing his hands and (omg) dancing?! He does a kind of cha cha (or is it salsa?) in place. It's very cute, but umm, sorry Hong Ki. Like you better singing and acting than dancing. And thank goodness you fixed your horns, I mean hair. And you nixed the head band! Woot woot!

The rest of the group looks awesome, exhausted, yet radiantly happy to be performing in front of their fans. Excited to showcase their new music.

Min Hwan powerfully strikes the drums and hats (how many does that guy need?), Jae Jin plucks his bass (and I must say looks a heck of a lot older than in recent months. Must be the hair.) Seung Hyun smiles at the fans his wide teethy smile, while Jong Hoon rocks out on his guitar proudly showing off his muscles.

Rock on FT Island, rock on...

CNBlue In London!

The Olympics are over, but there's still more to come from good ol' London!

South Korean band CNBlue will be heading there to do a concert on September 22nd! How exciting! Makes me kinda jealous, but I will get over it since there are hardly any Asian concerts in Europe.

I'm hoping this will set the stage for more groups to follow suit and thus extend the popularity of K-PopRock.

I think it's absolutely awesome that they are getting out. They had a successful joint concert in March with fellow FNC group, FT Island and had a successful run of promotions for their recent album, Ear Fun. They've also been working hard individually. Min Hyuk and Jong Hyun have been polishing their acting chops in their dramas "You Who Rolled in Unexpectedly" and "A Gentleman's Dignity" respectively. Jung Shin has been studying hard and taking on the occasional photo shoot. (He's getting quite popular with his model like looks) And leader Yong Hwa has been working hard in the studio composing songs, helping out his fellow FNC'er Juniel and (haha) working hard in the gym to umm...better himself.

All the fans in the U.K. are you ready? Make some noise!
