What i love about them is not just their pretty face..but the way they go to success. They started as an indie band.. Japan is their first destination for their first street performance. I just wonder why they didn't start in their own Korea. Their talent is so ONE In A Million.. They can sing, they can play instruments, they can MC-ing, they write n compose song n they surely can act.!
A lil bit about their stuffs :
They began to do street performance n live club in mid of June 2009. They formally debuted in August 19, 2009 as an indie band, Now Or Never. It was completely fully recorded in English but failed to chart on Japanese's music chart. Then they came out with Voice in November 2009 and stayed in the Oricon for two weeks. It is also recorded in English and some Japanese..
Their former bassist, Kwang Jin left the group in late September and replaced by Lee Jungshin.
In January, FNC Music unveiled new teaser pictures for CN Blue's debut in South Korea. Bluetory was released on January 14, 2010. Their hits single I'm A Loner really gives the Korean CN Blue's fever.
In March, the band started preparations for their first full length album ThankU. It was released on March 20, 2010.
Released their next promotional single, "Love Light" (Korean: 사랑 빛), on May 10, 2010.
On January 9 2011, they released their 3rd Japanese single, Re-maintenance.
CN BLUE made a come back in March 2011, First Step! Their latest promotional hits : Intuition & of coz LOVE GIRL.:)
