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.

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!

Blind South Korean Archer Sets World Record at London Olympics
For 26-year old Im Dong Hyun, all he sees are blurry colors. He doesn't wear prescriptive lenses, yet he is able to hit targets about 76 yards away. That's about 3/4 of the length of a football field!
He's an amazing archer for someone that can only see blurry colors. He is so amazing that he set a world record on the first day of the Olympics. Then followed up on that by helping his team win bronze at the archery finals on Saturday.
Let me just say that the South Korean's are no joke when it comes to archery. They are a formidable opponent.
And this goes to show that being blind does not in any way limit what one can accomplish. Nor should a blind person be underestimated.
Way to go, Im Dong Hyun!

Nations Unite
(Olympic Fanfare blaring segueing into Call of the Champions)
For the next 17 days, the frenzy will be over the London Olympics. Did you know it is one of the highest viewed events in broadcast history? The last summer Olympics, in Beijing, was the highest viewed event, ever.
Countries from all over the globe will compete for gold. For the love, honor and respect of their country and the world. But what's most important, is that we will be putting all differences aside in the spirit of sportsmanship. Why is it that it's so easy to do that for this, but not everyday?
To all the nations- may the best man or woman win!
(Fade in Summon the Heroes with voice over) Dreams of gold. The ultimate test of courage, strength and agility. Fierce competition culminating in victory for one...
The London Olympics. The world is watching.
Cheesy, I know. Part of my line of work. Wonder how the opening ceremonies will go?
