CNBLUE is #1 on ALL music charts


Rookie Indie band, CNBLUE, has officially killed off every other competitor on music charts.

It has only been a week since their debut with Im a Loner, but the song is now number one on all online sales charts. Their album, BLUETORY, is also number one on offline album sales charts like Hanteo. The group has said “It hasn’t been long since we came out, we are definitely surprised.”

Not only that, but after their debut performance on Music Bank, the song has reached the #1 spot on ALL music charts. Every single one of them. This is a hard feat, even for top groups. The song is definitely a new style in Korea, and it’s very addicting.

Newsen has interviewed the group and asked “Don’t you guys want to dance looking at idol groups?” They responded “Dancing is scary. Even though it shows off charisma, we are just not good enough to do it as our job.” The drummer, Kang Min Hyuk was then asked “Aren’t you dissapointed that you aren’t on camera during live performances?” He answered, “Not even a bit. Since the drum is the loudest and the center of all the instruments, I take on more responsibility to do better.”

Each member then said something different.

Lee Jung Shin (bass) said, “You guys learn dancing because of idol groups, right? After looking at us, we hope you guys learn instruments such as guitar now.” Lee Jong Hyun (guitar) said, “We are definitely not perfect at our instruments. Our goal is to hear people say we’ve improved.” Kang Min Hyuk (drums) said, “Being in a band was my dream.” And finally, Jung Yong Hwa (leader) said, “I’ve never thought about having to dance.”

They also showed of their dissapointment on not being able to do full-live performances on music programs. Jung Yong Hwa said, “You can only feel our charm when our whole band is playing live,” showing off their confidence.

Finally, they ended the interview saying “We are worried because people have high expectations of us now, due to getting #1 on all the charts. We will work even harder to show you guys our growth.”

I have a strong feeling that this group can make a huge change in k-pop.
