[STARCAST] Lee Jong Hyun’s Bucket List for a Romantic End of the Year
Hello, I am Lee Jong Hyun from CNBLUE. The of year 2013 is already not far from being over. The ‘End of the year’s mood’ is slowly rising up~ What kind of plans does everyone have for this Christmas and for the end of the year~?
For me, I have composed and sung the season song for the first time in this end of the year in December. From long time ago, I always used to think that I wished to compose a carol that warms the heart and my wish came true faster than I thought~ It is a song called ‘Love Falls’ and because I wanted to emphasize the romantic mood of Christmas, I made it as a duet song. With a singer JUNIEL, I also held a special activity for about a week to promote the song as a duet team called ‘Romantic J’. While singing, I thought that I will sing this song in live if I have a girlfriend.
Are you saying this is romantic~? Haha. For me, there is another kind of ‘Romantic’ that I am thinking of… How about you guys?
I am thinking that I am going to slightly reveal my romantic bucket list to wrap up the year of 2013.
1. Decorations that can never be left out to make an end of the year’s mood!
If I have a girlfriend, I want to do Christmas decorations! In the end of the year when thinking of Christmas, I feel that ‘Christmas decoration’ is necessary as it to completes the mood. I still feel that way. Even if it is not a giant Christmas tree, I think decorations that match with places and also every little decoration are things that can add to the mood of Christmas.
I think even Christmas decoration reflects the individuality and vibe that are unique to each person so I often look in detail of what colors and the materials the Christmas tree is decorated with. Does it match me~? Haha. It is classic but no matter what, I think decoration items in Christmas trees are pretty when they have clear colors such as a red apple~ I feel like that colors such as red and gold really give the celebrating atmosphere of the end of the year.
2. The end of the year card that shows sincerity and a gift that contains my mind
When the end of the year season approaches, I usually try to call people whom I am grateful for either by calling them no matter what or by meeting them in person, and when I prepare for this in advance, it is good because I do not have to rush for anything. Although there is still a concert that is scheduled, I am still currently preparing so that I do not miss the right time to show what is on my mind. Even now, I think I am not that good at choosing gifts. It is so hard for me to choose gifts. As I think about things such as ‘Are these the things that people who will receive the gift really like it, are these things that they really need” and so on, my concerns begin to multiply. However, if it could be thought of as my own skill, then it might be able to be considered as a good skill, which is to send cards I wrote myself or send messages together along with a gift. Also, the ribbon wrap that makes the gift cooler! Because I think that pretty gift wraps are as important as the content of the gift in expressing my mind, I always put a ribbon for a highlight, haha. (I am a relatively delicate man, right~?)
3. A fancy dinner with people whom I love
If I have a girlfriend, I hope to eat a memorable dinner in such a place that is filled with a warm Christmas mood inside. I want to prepare the menu of this special meal as something that my girlfriend likes the most and also the most surprising at the same time. I think I am not going to regret it only after I prepare everything thoroughly, so even if I have to search all over the internet, I am going to come up with an incredibly fancy plan no matter what!
Especially, I wish to impress her by preparing a dessert that has a Christmas mood. I do not like foods that are too sweet but just for a memorable romantic dinner, I think it would be good to be filled with ‘Sweets’ once in a while. It seems like that there are lots of women who likes very sweet desserts (that I can never eat)~ If I am having dinner with only guys, I will never ever prepare for these desserts but I am thinking of giving it a try once in a while if I started dating someone, haha.
It is only my imagination for now but if I face the real situation, then I am going to become very thorough and careful~ I am jealous of all the people who are couples.
I, Lee Jong Hyun, who sings and plays the guitar in CNBLUE, might be spending the end of the year with music. But, I am trying to make time to have dinner with people whom I love and who are most precious~ Of course, I expect to have a special meal time that is filled with the end of the year mood with the members also.
4. The memorable song is necessary!
In times that wrap up the year, song can never be left out, right~?
In this end of the year, I am thinking of introducing two songs that I am going to endlessly replay. I have chosen the songs that touch the sentiment. I am thinking that these are the songs that people who are solos like me will especially be able to empathize together.
The first song is the song ‘The Blower’s Daughter’, which is a famous soundtrack of the movie ‘Closer’, by Damien Rice. Damien Rice, the sing-a-song writer who is from Dublin, Ireland, is one of my favorite musicians. I think I have to say that I was shocked the moment I listened to the song while watching the movie ‘Closer’… Until now, I still cannot forget the moment when it has touched my heart in a powerful way. I recommend this song as it softens the sentiment while wrapping up the year quietly.
The second song has sad lyrics but I think it is good to listen to it for many, many times during this season. It is the most famous song of Christmas seasons ‘Last Christmas’. There are a lot of carols and Christmas songs on my mind but the best song in my mind I think is always this song. When it is the end of the year, I am happy but when I think about how this year have gone by too fast, there is always a little bit of loneliness left in my mind and I think it is the song that slightly consoles such a feeling.
The weather recently have got colder and because of the snow, it really feels like ‘Winter’ and maybe, this Christmas might be a White Christmas! I hope everyone have a romantic and happy end of the year with family, lovers and friends whom you guys love.

CNBLUE at Rock In Japan Festival
On August 4th, CNBLUE rocked out the Lake Stage of Rock in Japan Festival. Rock in Japan is one of the biggest rock festival in Japan, being held 3 days consecutively on August first week, Rock in Japan become a pride for rock band to participated. And this year Rock in Japan become more special for me personally since CNBLUE as one of the line up.
Sceduled to rock on Lake Stage, the second biggest stage, CNBLUE posted their pride on twitter, can you guess whose hands are they?
On the last day, the artist who appears as the 2nd performer at LAKE STAGE is 4 piece band, CNBLUE. They are not only active in Korea or Japan but also in Asia and get enormous popularity now. They got to their position at the stage kindled smoke, a brave shout “ROCK IN JAPAN!!”. The dazzling vocal relays by Jung Yonghwa (G&Vo) and Lee Jonghyun (G&Vo) led an English R&B number, “Where you are”, their performance started. Jonghyun’s guitar solo with lighting speed was awesome and changing into the next song, Yonghwa’s stirring like ‘Only music, are you ready!?’ was an expert. By Lee Jungshin (Ba) ‘s supple playing and wild beats by Kang Minhyuk (Dr), calls and responses were arisen. The excitement was getting hotter and hotter. Jonghyun told ‘A little earlier, but shall we liven up!?’ after this, hand-clap and sing-along was added skillfully.
‘We’re CNBLUE, we came here from Korea for this event!’ Music is nice all the same! (Jonghyun)’ ‘Are you hot? Be hotter. It was warm up until now. The real CNBLUE is here from now on. Today, you don’t need to work, your boss isn’t there, so let’s enjoy with all our hearts! (Yonghwa)’ It’s fun that they talked to us with Japanese. Jonghyun is so fluent that we are surprised, Yonghwa fired wise remarks ‘This isn’t beer, this is tea. Shall we go with sense like tea?’ ‘Where is the coffee shop?’. At the latter of the performance, they successively showed light and impregnable dance-rock. They carried out their words that they nicely liven and liven up. It’s excellent. After ‘I’m Sorry’, the climax was their latest single ‘Lady’. The song with falsetto chorus made us dance without choice. They will release a new album ‘What turns you on?’ on August 28th. Their performance let us expect even more steady advance.
Behind the stage, CNBLUE did as Jonghyun ever told in one of the interview that he wants to have more interaction with other performers once they participated on the Japan rock festival. And at Rock in Japan the had a shoot with Orange Range. A senior Japanese rock band to CNBLUE.
Short after, Minhyuk updating their Daum Fancafe with selca each of the members, telling how fun and how hot the stage was. He even told just after finishing 3rd song, they felt almost collapsed due to the summer heat. Here the selca you can enjoy 🙂

CNBlue’s Lee Jung Shin Asks Lee Bo Young to Go Easy on Him
CNBlue‘s Lee Jung Shin asked actress Lee Bo Young, who he has acted with in the ratings hit “My Daughter Seo Young, ” to go easy on him and his drama.
According to TV Daily, the bassist of CNBlue said at the press conference for the premiere of the KBS drama “The Blade and Petal,” “‘My Daughter Seo Young’ only ended in March, so I did not expect to be acting so soon.”
When asked about his former co-star Lee Bo Young, he stated, “I contact her sometimes. I saw her in passing and she was working hard filming. I asked her to go easy.”
Lee Jung Shin is one of the cast members of “The Blade and Petal” (also known as “Sword and Flower”), in which he essays the role of the swordsman Si Woo tasked to protect the princess played by Kim Ok Bin. Lee Bo Young is currently starring in the SBS drama “I Can Hear Your Voice,” which is a ratings hit and the competition for “The Blade and Petal” during the Wed-Thurs evening drama timeslot. It seems Lee Jung Shin humorously asked Lee Bo Young to take it easy with her drama so “The Blade and Petal” and “I Can Hear Your Voice” can have a friendly neck to neck ratings race.
Lee Jung Shin said of being part of the series, “I am very fortunate to take on an acting project very quickly after my first one. I am glad to meet good people and to be able to improve my skills. I want to learn how to think and act, and I want to continue to learn a lot.”
“The Blade and Petal” premieres on KBS2 on July 3.
