CNBlue Members Kang Min Hyuk and Lee Jung Shin in Last Pictorial Before July 31st Enlistment

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 24, 2018 by ockoalaJuly 23, 2018
Two models on a fashion magazine cover.

If I had my way all boy band members would enlist at the same time and keep their group careers on the same time line. For CNBlue band mates Kang Min Hyuk and Lee Jung Shin, they are doing that as both sign in for military service on July 31, 2018, a few months after lead Jung Yong Hwa enlisted. … Continue reading →

Park Shin Hye Attends Good Friends CNBLUE’s Concert in Seoul

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 7, 2017 by ockoalaJune 6, 2017
Group selfie with friends holding a sign.

It’s always fun to see famous friends supporting each other and Park Shin Hye‘s connection with the boy group CNBLUE goes back a long ways. She did two dramas with Jung Yong Hwa in You’re Beautiful and Heartstrings, and most recently was in Heirs with Kang Min Hyuk. I’m sure she also knows Lee Jong Hyun and Lee Jung Shin … Continue reading →

CNBLUE’s Jung Yong Hwa Cleared of FNC Stock Insider Trading But Lee Jong Hyun Pays Fine

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 30, 2016 by ockoalaJune 30, 2016
Two males, one singing, one in formal attire.

It’s a mix bag of news for two members of Korean boy band CNBLUE, and likely overall a ding for the reputation of the involved members and/or the entire group as a whole. The Seoul authorities have been investigating Jung Yong Hwa for insider trading in the past week, and the investigation further expanded to include his fellow band member … Continue reading →

Lotsa Movie Posters and CNBlue’s Chinese Theme Song for Bolin Chen and Son Ye Jin’s Bad Guys Always Die

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 28, 2015 by ockoalaNovember 28, 2015
Three characters posing with weapons in a movie poster.

The production of upcoming Korean-Chinese collaboration movie Bad Guys Always Die is certainly going all out on promotional materials. I don’t recall seeing this many different movie posters for any one movie before, with most on a yellow background for the Chinese release and the just released one of the two leads Son Ye Jin and Bolin Chen in a … Continue reading →

Kang Min Hyuk Rocks The Class Fall Ad Campaign with His CNBlue Bandmates

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 20, 2015 by ockoalaAugust 23, 2015
Four men in stylish suits posing confidently.

I really appreciate the new fall ad campaign for menswear brand The Class, and not just because Kang Min Hyuk is in it with his CNBlue bandmates Lee Jung Shin, Jung Yong Hwa, and Lee Jong Hyun. Brand pictorials start with the premise of selling the underlying product, so having stars in the campaign is complementary or even subordinate to the … Continue reading →

Kang Min Hyuk Hits Up Taiwan with CNBLUE for a Two-night Performance on the Can’t Stop Tour

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 28, 2014 by ockoalaJuly 27, 2014

It’s odd being crazy about a particular member of a music group since it leads to thinking about them as “my (insert fave) and his band mates!” whenever the ensemble shows up. The perpetually adorable Kang Min Hyuk was in Taiwan this past weekend with CNBLUE for the two-night leg of its CNBLUE LIVE: Can’t Stop Asian tour. The tickets weren’t sold … Continue reading →

Kang Min Hyuk in the Pages of The Star Magazine with CNBlue and Named Honorary Ambassador for College

A Koala's Playground Posted on February 13, 2014 by ockoalaFebruary 12, 2014

My cutie pie Kang Min Hyuk has been a very very busy boy these past few months. I already liked him passably after watching him in Heartstrings years ago but that mild like turned to full blown love after he stood out in Heirs as the sole male lead I didn’t want to punch in the face and turning in … Continue reading →

FNC Entertainment Airs Reality Show Featuring its Artists Including Jung Yong Hwa and Lee Dong Gun

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 18, 2013 by ockoalaNovember 17, 2013

I’ve always known that the two male leads Lee Dong Gun and Jung Yong Hwa in Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) belonged to the same agency FNC Entertainment. Yong Hwa joined first as part of the idol band CNBlue, whereas Dong Gun joined the agency after he was discharged from the army. FNC is primarily a music agency … Continue reading →
