Sometime in the future where sound becomes a weapon and music has vanished, an off-the-wall young girl named Jin-hee uses a broken earphone as a mirror. One day, her arm gets hurt by a baseball thrown by a boy named Ji-hoo. Ji-hoo, who is busy trying to fix Jin-hee’s arm, finally tries to sell the earphone. But Jin-hee won’t let him sell it since it is the only link to the faint memories of her childhood. The encounter between Jin-hee, who desperately wants to listen to music, and Ji-hoo, who doesn’t know anything about music, brings light to an off-the-wall love story.

[News|Trans] TVXQ named CNBLUE and FTISLAND as their impressive juniors

Idol group Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK/TVXQ) named CNBLUE and FTISLAND as their impressive juniors.

In a recent interview with reporters, TVXQ was asked to name the juniors in the industry that impressed them most.

U-Know Yunho replied,“Our juniors are all good. Their skills and performance on stage are all outstanding. Like in our company (SM Entertainment) we have SHINee, EXO K and EXO M that we can proudly talk about. Nowadays, other than strong basic skills, the most important thing is also individuality. It’s hard to survive with just basic skills.  And I’m the living proof of that (laughs). But you should never inflict on others if you don’t know your own color. So the most important thing is having your own color.”

TVXQ’s juniors or rookie groups often overlap with each other’s styles. However, according to U-Know Yunho there are two groups who belong to the same agency yet they have different styles, and the groups are CNBLUE and FTISLAND.

U-Know Yunho added, “CNBLUE and FTISLAND are friends that we know from the music industry and as you know, from KyuLine (a private celebrity group which includes CNBLUE Lee Jonghyun, TVXQ Changmin, Super Junior Kyuhyun and SHINee Minho). Haha. This is just a joke, but those two groups are friends that are hard to see as they are doing lots of performance while writing their own songs,” said Yunho full of praise.

Meanwhile, during the interview U-Know Yunho also informed the press, “Next year it will be our 10th year debut anniversary and we are discussing on having a small scale event like Chungchoon Concert.” He added, “Fans would be able to ask questions and chat with us,”explained Yunho.

[Article] CN Blue′s Lee Jong Hyun Says Jung Yong Hwa is Lonely These Days

CN Blue′s Lee Jong Hyun talked about how leader Jung Yong Hwa is bored these days.

On the September 26 broadcast of MBC′s Radio Star, Lee Jong Hyun appeared and talked about his members.

He said, "I worry about my members, because they should go out and meet people to know what the world is like, but they mostly stay at home."

His statement followed SHINee Taemin′s wish, "I hope [the other members] will return home earlier. They come home at 3 a.m. and I don′t know what they′re up to. I feel lonely when I′m home alone."

The members who stay at home have to wait on their other members, who are busy with their individual activities.

Lee Jong Hyun said, "These days the other members are active individually, and [Jung Yong Hwa] hyung is resting. It was always the other way around, so now he says it feels weird."

Jung Yong Hwa was the one who helped CN Blue become as popular as it is now in its early stages with his drama and variety appearances.

A text message Lee Jong Hyun said Jung Yong Hwa sent him especially made everyone feel sad. ′I′m a loner, I′m a loner′, his text message said. I′m a Loner is the title of CN Blue′s hit single.

SBS A Gentleman′s Dignity′s Kim Jung Nan and SHINee′s Onew and Taemin also appeared this day to talk.
