Lee Dong Wook questioned on his kiss scene with Jessica

Lee Dong Wook was unable to avoid a question about his kiss scene with Girls’ Generation member Jessica on his first day as MC for ‘Strong Heart’.

On the April 10th broadcast of SBS’s ‘Strong Heart’, CNBLUE‘s frontman Yonghwa shared a story behind his kiss scene on ‘Heartstrings’.

Lee Dong Wook tried to protect the guest by saying that Jung Yong Hwa had no ulterior motives in kissing the actress when it wasn’t specified in the script, unlike his close friend Lee Jin Wook who, “Really likes kiss scenes.”

Lee Dong Wook was able to get a lot of laughs with his comment, but Shin Dong Yup was quick to silence him by asking, “How was your kiss scene with Jessica,” to which Lee Dong Wook was unable to offer a response other than a sheepish smile as he seemed quite surprised by the question.

FT Island‘s Lee Hongki is focusing all of his attention on studying for his midterms.

The singer who is a Communication & Information major at Kyunghee University recently wrapped up promotions for “Severely” with his group, and is in complete study mode.

Originally a Post-Modern Music Major, Hongki found it difficult to juggle both his busy work schedule and school, but has now transfered and will be devoting himself to his studies for the time being.

If he has his laptop with him, no matter where he happens to be, Hongki reportedly takes advantage of the online classes and can study anywhere.

His fellow label mate, CNBLUE‘s Jung Yonghwa is also a student at the same university, studying Chinese. Yonghwa along with the rest of his CNBLUE members recently returned with their new album ‘EAR FUN‘, but he is consistently listening to online lectures to maintain his grades.

An education representative remarked, “A lot of celebrities who are unable to attend traditional college courses are taking advantage of the provided online courses to continue their education.”

CNBLUE’s Jung Yonghwa talks about his kiss scene with So Ee Hyun on ‘Strong Heart’

CNBLUE‘s lead vocal Jung Yonghwa shared a never before revealed story about his kiss scene with So Ee Hyun on ‘Heartstrings‘.

On the April 10th episode of SBS ‘Strong Heart‘, Jung Yonghwa remarked, “My kiss scene with So Ee Hyun took place on the streets of Apgujeong.”

“It was a long shot being filmed from afar, so all we had to do was pretend to kiss,” he said. But Yonghwa did not know this, and wanting to come across as masculine, he planted his lips right on hers.
So Ee Hyun became shocked and dumbfounded at the situation, but she knew that they would have to film the scene over if she moved.

Not moving her lips from his like a ventriloquist, she asked, “What are you doing?”, which caused Yonghwa without moving his lips from hers to respond with his own question, “What’s the problem?”

Yonghwa’s ‘kiss conversation’ with So Ee Hyun caused everyone on set to burst into laughter, including new ‘Strong Heart’ MCs Shin Dong Yeob and Lee Dong Wook.

Yong Hwa Told Not to Get Married Early?

A fortune teller told CN Blue’s Jung Yong Hwa not to get married anytime soon. During the December 18 episode of SBS “Running Man,” Jung Yong Hwa had his palm read by a fortune teller in Hong Kong, who consulted on his health, business, and relationship.

The palm reader first started off nice, telling Yong Hwa, “Your business looks to be very good. It’s going to do very well. Your health is also looking fine.”

But his advice on Yong Hwa’s love line was rather gloomy as he said, “You need to wait a few more years to have a girl friend. Never try to get married too early.”

Yong Hwa at first looked surprised but seemed to agree as he exclaimed, “That’s exactly what my parents told me!”

Netziens who saw the show commented, “I guess I should get married later too,” “It’s the trend to get married late these days,” and “It’s sad that he has to wait for his girl friend too.”

Meanwhile, Jung Yong Hwa and his band CN Blue have just wrapped up their Japanese Tour Concert, selling out all 14 concerts.

CNBLUE successfully holds encore ‘Blue Storm’ concerts in Seoul

On December 11th, CNBLUE successfully wrapped up their encore concert, Blue Storm Encore‘, at the Handball Stadium in the Seoul Olympic Park.

Over 6,000 fans showed up for both the December 10th and 11th concerts, which were an encore of CNBLUE’s September show. As it also coincides with the month of Christmas, fans showed up with special Christmas decor to turn the concert hall into a true Christmas party.

Many noted that the boys came back from their overseas tour with a better sense of understand what the audience wanted. They interacted more with their fans and delivered electrifying charisma. Kicking off with “Intuition“, CNBLUE then moved on to other songs like “Love Revolution“, “Love Girl“, “Loner” and “Love Light“.

Actress Lee Min Jung visited the concert and updated her mini-homepage with a ‘proof shot’. “I had so much fun at CNBLUE’s concert. I love this genre of music, so it was cool to see them playing the guitar and everything. Thanks to Jung Yonghwa‘s invitation, I was able to see a great concert. There aren’t a lot of bands in Korea, which makes me sad, so I hope that they become a representative band!”, she wrote.

CNBLUE is currently on their Asian tour, and have made successful stops at Taiwan and Indonesia. Next year, they’ll be in Hong Kong and other locations in Asia.
