Forbes also took notice of the comeback of the band CNBLUE (Jung Yong-hwa, Kang Min-hyuk, Lee Jung-shin).
The U.S. business magazine Forbes recently published an article saying that CNBLUE's new song released on the first day of the new year, "Still, a Flower," is having a positive impact on FNC Entertainment Co., which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Forbes noted, "CNBLUE is preparing to release a full-length album after a long time, and the pre-release song 'Still, a Flower' is drawing a strong reaction worldwide."
Besides the comeback, Forbes also paid attention to CNBLUE's recent activities. Forbes noted, "CNBLUE's 'Shintouya (心夜),' released in Japan in November last year, ranked No. 1 on the Oricon daily and weekly single charts. They also performed at the FNC family concert 'Kingdom' held at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama, Japan, at the end of last year, among other activities."
CNBLUE's pre-release song released on the 1st, "Still, a Flower," is a song that captures the splendor of the moment when, like a flower that blooms again amid wounds and darkness, one finally regains their own fragrance even in a chilly reality. Jung Yong-hwa contributed to the lyrics and composition, adding sincerity, and the song contains a message of comfort and a gift for those who have quietly endured in their own places as the new year begins.
Fans have responded enthusiastically, saying, "Thank you for healing us with your song. I received warm comfort from the lyrics and gained the courage to stand up again," "the best New Year's gift," "the more I listen, the better the song becomes. It was sad the first time I heard it, but repeated listening gives me strength," and "the melody is good, but the lyrics are especially beautiful."
CNBLUE, which is receiving intense attention at home and abroad with just the pre-release song, will release their third full-length album "3LOGY" and the music video for the title track "Killer Joy" on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 7th.
