#33: Im A Loner Plagiarism, bad progress

After an entire good week for C.N.BLUE, winning awards on Musicbank and Inkigayo, bad news arrived yet again for them.

When we thought that the plagiarism issue has died down, Ynot seems to be upset with the success of I'm a Loner and chose this timing to announce officially that they will take legal action against I’m a Loner’s composer & songwriter Kim Do Hoon and Lee Sang Ho.


The vocal of Ynot and the songwriter of Blue Bird gave a press statement today, 1st Feb:

We shared our thoughts about this situation, yet the composer, songwriter
and company representative have not made an excuse or shared a statement. We
have received advice from an entertainment business lawyer and will seek help to
take legal action.

A FNC Music (CNBLUE’s company) representative claimed
that we were noise marketing to raise our own popularity. We think that, from
the plagiarism allegations, FNC Music is the one noise marketing to up their
popularity instead.

It seems like FNC Music is waiting it out and
expecting this controversy to settle down. … They aren’t giving Ynot respect and
haven’t cared to take action because Ynot is an indie band.

On February
1st, Ynot’s company asked FNC Music to apologize for the insulting statements
they made, and asked the songwriters to make an official statement toward the
similarities between the songs.

This controversy is ultimately between
me (Ju Mong), the songwriter of Blue Bird, and Kim Do Hoon and Lee Sang Ho, the
composer and songwriter of I’m a Loner, and shouldn’t involve Ynot and CNBLUE.



I can see Ynot is trying hard not to pull the talented new group, C.N.BLUE, into this mess all this while. However, taking official legal charges against the song would mean affecting the group badly already.

I really hope this issue will be settled appropriately by FNC, and even if apologies are needed, i hope they will humble down and offer their sincere apologies and make sensible and mature statements about the issue.

There could be really coincidences, or very obvious similarities between songs all the time, so whether this plagiarism issue is just a marketing strategy, or a really blunt mistake, we should all give C.N.BLUE our utmost support and show love for their other original songs.

HWAITING, C.N.BLUE!

#32: INKIGAYO WINTER SPECIAL WIN, AND GREAT ALBUM SALES

Earlier on, we brought you the stages of C.N.BLUE in the 3 music shows over the weekend (see post #29) and we reported that they won MusicBank charts.

Now, we're glad to announce that they have also won Inkigayo Mutizen Award, and that makes a 2nd win in their 3 weeks of debut! Isn't that just amazing?



Really feel happy for them!

Also, on this winter special, they did a special band performance with Kim Jang Hoon, a legendary rock ballad singer and they did up a good performance!
hd!



The way they presented the song is cute, isnt it?
Anyway, did Jong Hyun forget his lyrics at 1:05? He smiled it off so it doesnt look like he forgot! lol
Also, don't miss Jong Hyun's amazing electric guitar solo at 1:55!

The scans on the Inkigayo take 7 giveouts.















Winning Mutizen was not the only good news C.N.BLUE had.
We received news that C.N.BLUE has sold 30000 copies of their BLUETORY album in 3 weeks and that's really a blast!

FNC company expressed, “We had no idea the album would garner this much attention. We are making more CD’s at the factory but it might take awhile for them to get to the fans.”


CNBLUE also held a fan signing event after the Inkigayo show at the Shin Nara Record Center.















Can't wait to hear more of C.N.BLUE!

And guess what, the following will really be good news for all fans!

They will be releasing a FULL ALBUM on 20th March 2010!
More details about it would definitely surface soon, so keep your eyes peeled for our website updates! :)

#31: Yong Hwa Radio Star, 20 Jan

Apologies for bringing the first episode later than the 2nd episode (see post #24)

This episode was also hilarious, with many funny antics from 2am Jo Kwon and Changmin, and digs at Yong Hwa's Gayeodaejeon emceeing. Yong Hwa accepted all the critiques with a big heart and was opened and sincerely apologetic about it. Lucky he didnt turn all awkward again towards those comments.








Enjoy!

#29: C.N.BLUE WINS MUSICBANK K-CHART! STAGE 3 PERFORMANCES

Friday, January 29, 2010

Friday, January 29, 2010

Weekend arrives and good news knocks on the door for C.N.BLUE!

After their great performance on Music Bank tonight, they were announced as the winner for MUSIC BANK K-CHART!

They had strong competitors for the final K-Chart of January 2010, one was 2-time winner Jokwon and Ga-In's We Fell In Love and the other was 3-time winner T-ara's Bo Peep Bo Peep. Yet, C.N.BLUE won with 11,956 points, by a super clear mark more than double of their competitors.

Congratulations to our idols!
It must have been a great achievement for them, to have such a successful debut as a band in Korea!

Lets hope they stay strong on the Music Charts!

---------------

After their VICTORY at MUSICBANK yesterday, C.N.BLUE returns with much more confidence on MusicCore today!

I am, again, very happy with the P.Ds' arrangement. they tried to put attention on other members rather than YongHwa only, again. With all the other members raised up, we could see that this group will NOT be just focusing on the lead singer.
I think that's what all the fans hope to see too :)

STAGE 3- MUSICCORE, 30 Jan 2010, Sat



catch Yong Hwa's naughty smirk at 00:50 and Jung Shin playing a smile with the camera at 1:57!




STAGE 3- INKIGAYO, 31 Jan 2010, Sun *updated*



we can see Jung Shin is slowly stepping up and interacting more with the camera and even though Min Hyuk has to look at his drums, he already is handsome hitting it so confidently. However, i do hope to see more of Jong Hyun showing off his charisma and flirting (lol) more to the cam since he does get quite a bit of airtime too. Hope that he will open up soon!
