Yong Hwa and Min Hyuk is currently starring in the Korean drama, Heartstrings / I've Fallen For You / 넌 내게반했어 and in the series, Yong Hwa wore a special necklace called "Rock Star" and also bought a necklace "Infinite Heartstring" for the woman he was in love with.
W.Helena (http://www.whelena.com/) is the jewelry company that produced these accessories especially for the drama.
CNBLUESGFC was privileged to work with W.Helena to promote these necklaces to all interested international fans. We are currently selling this officially and here are the details:
So now, we call for all fans, members or non-members, Singaporeans or non-Singaporeans, to take action now and make the order with us before the deadline next week!
Walking past FNC Academy everyday, i couldn't help noticing this nice cafe tucked just 5m away from the entrance of FNC ACAD.
I was surprised to realise that it was a filming site for episode 4 of We Got Married. The Yong Seo couple visited the cafe during the first few dates.

CNBLUESGFC has completed 3 birthday projects (view here) and since I (jovena) was visiting Korea during the same period as YongHyuk's birthday, I decided to bring the gifts personally to their company. The music composing machine for Jong Hyun was too big and heavy for me to carry over, hence it was shipped.
As i stayed near FNC ACADEMY, i walked past it every day but there were no signs of CNBLUE there at all. I concluded that CNBLUE doesn't really train there, and my Korean boice friend also said that they only used FNC ACADEMY as their filming site for WGM the other time.

One day, i brought all the presents to FNC MUSIC office at Yeongdeungpo-gu (see map here) and as i was alone, i was rather worried about talking to the staff.
Finally, the doors opened and I was rather surprised by how FNC office looked like. It was nicely renovated and I was surprised to see no reception table. I walked in and i saw staff at the office. One saw me and she was quite shocked as well, so she invited me out as it was a restricted area.
Then she asked me what was the matter and i explained to her that I am representing CNBLUESGFC to deliver this birthday presents to CNBLUE. She was very polite and thanked me as she brought in the gift.
So, that is practically all that concludes the birthday gift projects!

One of the day morning, i received news from a Korean boice friend that there was filming for Heartstrings at their usual film site, which was the university. It's called Seoul Arts University (http://www.seoularts.ac.kr/eng/index.jspclick here for map) located at Ansan City, which is about 1 hour drive away from Seoul.
I immediately rushed down in a cab and though i expected it to reach faster than subway, it took about 1 hour as well, and it cost me a bomb.
Drive-in
the familiar red bridge, appeared in the drama several times
After i reached, i noticed bunch of students sitting/sleeping on benches in the campus. They seem to be waiting for something, yet hanging around doing nothing. It was also summer holidays for University students so I had no idea what they were doing in school.
My friend and I obviously looked foreign and me with my camera in my hand didn't help us in camouflaging anyway.
We started hunting for the filming crew, starting from the vehicles..
We were awed to find these vehicles and at least it wasn't a wasted trip!
We walked in to the nearest building that seemed to have the filming taking place and BINGO, we found a filming crew inside a studio and though i tried to peep in, the crew at the door shoo-ed me away.
We went to sit down on a fleet of stairs and initially we thought the young people sitting on the stairs were also fans, then we realized... They were calafare/extras!
So in truth, we were the only "unrelated people" and slowly, I felt a little embarrassed.
But anyway, after travelling miles, it shouldn't be a wasted trip!
While waiting for things to happen, we toured the campus ...
Outside the cafeteria.
The school cafeteria, where Jun Hee can't stop munching...
An empty classroom, seemed to be used for the filming as well.. Had a sign on the door.
Outside the studio (on level 1)..
We went back to the studio and sat at our original spots.. Then, we saw filming crew coming out of the studio. They were filming a scene where all the students were scolded and chased out by the professor during a dance practise.
Tried very hard to spot for Yong Hwa or Min Hyuk but it seemed like they were not in the group. We spotted Park Shin Hye though, who was in the dance crew.
A little disappointed, we decided to walk around the campus to see if they were filming other scenes elsewhere..
We noticed a big grassland with mirrors at one side. Really artistic, and very nice!
This is where Shin was lying, looking at the necklace Professor Jung rejected.
Coordi noona with all the clothes in the van!
After circling a few times, waiting for quite a while outside the studio, we decided that Yong and Hyuk probaby wasn't filming there that day. T.T sad.
However, I managed to capture some fancams of some of the casts who returned from lunch.
We left after they all returned to the studio and we reconfirmed YONGHYUK wasn't in the crew.
Though it was a huge disappointment not being able to see them after travelling so far and spending so much $ on the cab, it was still a rather fun trip as we got to see the filming site and when i watch the drama now, it feels like i know the place really well. Haha.
do credit properly if pictures, videos and fan account is to be taken out! thanks~

On 1st July, I was lucky enough to attend Musicbank Special Anniversary episode. Many stars who were not promoting their albums on the music show were also invited to perform. And, CNBLUE WAS ONE OF THEM.
Before entering the studio, I was so excited because finally, i can meet CNBLUE face to face again!
Then, i realised i was given a seat about 6 rows from the stage and the stage was in one circular shape, with mosh pit right in the center.
Stars came onstage to have their prerecording/rehearsals one by one and they were all so professional I thought the real show has started.
Then, i heard some screams and i realized CNBLUE has come on stage, but to the side of the circle that was back facing us!
The audience were all seated behind CNBLUE and though i was excited to see them, the idea of staring at their back the entire time was just disappointing!
"the back view"
Anyway, before their rehearsals start, it was IU on the stage singing "Good Day" and during the last 3 high notes, I could see Yong Hwa attempting with his finger pointing up. It was funny~ (see first video 00:17 on)
When they were on stage, they turned back about 2 times and the audience went crazy screaming to see their faces.
After IU, their rehearsals for "INTUITION" started and the audience roared with screams immediately. I was seated with the international fans (all non Koreans) and it is really good to know that CNBLUE was this popular with overseas fans!
The rehearsals was like the real one, really cool!! They were really enthusiastic and serious in their rehearsal performance. I tried to enjoy myself but with the fear of getting caught using a cam, i stayed on my toes while recording their performance.
After their performance, they left the stage quickly and other celebrities took the stage.
I couldn't let myself stay in my seat and so, i smoked myself through to the mosh pit when i saw other fans entering. There came a greater excitement because i could easily get myself a spot right in front of CNBLUE's stage.
So, i did, and i was standing right at the first row. During the rehearsals, I noticed 3 of them were on the main stage, and Min Hyuk was beside them on the extended stage so they were all positioned in one row. Hence, i took the spot right in front of Min Hyuk because i see him the least usually and the other 3 are the most visible usually. (and partly for the sake of all the min hyuk-bias!)
Other stars started to perform for the actual show and I kept expecting CNBLUE, and the uncertainty about when CNBLUE will appear on stage almost killed my heart.
Finally, they ran onstage and all the CNBLUE fans went crazy and screamed while another group was still performing onstage. And as expected, I was really right in front of Min Hyuk and the view was great. Before the guards could catch me, i sneaked a short fancam of them before their performance (see first video 01:27 onwards) and a short capture of Min Hyuk's drum solo at the start.
Fancam Video 1:
Watching them live, right before my eyes, were just as though i was watching them in front of the TV. The whole image was just too surreal, as I cannot imagine i was really watching CNBLUE in person.
It was a cool experience and it just reminded me of CNBLUE in Singapore (CNBLUE IN SG)
I couldn't take a full fancam of their performance because the guard came right in front of me and i thought i almost died on the spot.
After their performance, they ran down quickly and then i started shifting myself to the other stage, where the final "results stage" would be held.
I guessed the side CNBLUE would be standing at and it was also the side where all the celebrities enter the stage by.
I kept alert and slowly i saw 4 guys in suit appearing at the side and it was CNBLUE ^^.
Being a total fangirl for CNBLUE, i only paid attention to the 4 of them and i was so glad when they stood on the side of the stage i was at! Since it was the last part of the show, i disregarded everything else and took a fancam of them throughout the last few minutes of the show.
Fancam Video 2:
They were asked to hold a banner for Musicbank and i was thinking, for them to be able to stand right in front and to hold a banner, they must have some good reputation in Korea now!
The fancam wasn't easy to take as i was almost squashed to death in the moshpit but after taking stills of the video, i realised Min Hyuk looked into my fancam twice and it seemed like he noticed my camera so he told Jung Shin and then Jung Shin peeked at it too!
That's what i think, but maybe it isn't~ Heh.
Soon, the confetti popped and famous for confetti-fanservice, Yong Hwa started attacking the confetti again! Hahaha, really childish~ I thought he would only play for a while so i didn't fancam, and then i realised he was doing it over and over again till the confetti stopped falling! I caught the last 2 seconds of his play (see second video 01:59 on) and there's some regret here~ sigh~
Then, the show was over. That's basically all that i see of CNBLUE my entire time in Korea.
I tried visiting "Heartstrings" filming site (university) but I couldn't see them. More fanaccounts soon!
Anyway, watch the full broadcast here:
