Between recording and touring and acting, the members of CNBlue rarely stop and a new documentary will show you just how they manage to do that. "The Story of CNBlue: Never Stop" will premiere in Japan starting in mid-January.
The film directed by Jun Yong Seung will provide behind-the-scenes glimpses of the band's world tour, promotions and busy everyday lives.
For those who are not already fans, the band is composed of Jung Yong Hwa, who plays guitar, Lee Jong Hyun who plays lead guitar, Lee Jung Shin on bass guitar, and Kang Min Hyuk on the drums. All the band members contribute to the group's vocals.
They've been playing together since 2009 when they debuted in Japan with a mini album. And in the past few years they've had a string of popular songs, including "Alone," "Hey You," "Teardrops In The Rain," "First Step," "Coward," "Man Like Me," and "Ready N Go."
In the process they've acquired fans in many countries, recently taking their 2013 CNBlue Blue Moon World Tour throughout Asia and to Australia. But in between all the music making and touring, they have also each been working on their kdrama resumes.
Jung Yong Hwa is the best-known actor of the group. He's known for playing Kang Shin Woo, the sweet second lead in "You're Beautiful" and in "Heartstrings" he played his first leading role, the musician Lee Shin. He had a cameo in "A Gentleman's Dignity" and for a while it looked like he might act in the upcoming drama "The Heirs." But he decided instead on "Future Choice," also known as "Marry Him If You Dare," in which he co-stars with Yoon Eun Hye. In that drama he plays a cameraman who is secretly the heir to the broadcasting company.
Lee Jong Hyun made his acting debut the film "Acoustic" as Kim Seong Won and his television debut as Colin Black in "A Gentleman's Dignity." He also had a cameo role in the KBS drama special "Adolescent Medley."
Although Jung Yong Hwa decided to opt out of "The Heirs," Kang Min Hyuk has signed on to play Yoon Chan Young in the drama, which also stars Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye. He also appeared as Cha Se Kwang in "My Husband Got A Family," "Yeo Joon Hee in "Heartstrings" and Hwang Yeon Doo in "It's Okay Daddy's Girl."
Lee Jung Shin, who is also a runway model, had a cameo in "My Husband Got A Family," played Kang Sung Jae in "My Daughter Seo Young" and warrior Shi Woo in "The Blade and the Petal."
Fans who already like this band or have come to like the members via their acting roles will be eager to see the new documentary. But since the band debuted in Japan, it's only fitting that the documentary also premieres there.
