CNBlue’s Jung Yong Hwa: “Seo Hyun’s Support Gives Me Energy”


Even with the end of their fake marriage on MBC’s “We Got Married”, Jung Yong Hwa and Seo Hyun (also known as the Sweet Potato couple) are continuing to support each other.

On March 21st, CNBlue had a press conference for their first full album “First Step.” The members were asked questions about their new album as well as about Seo Hyun of Girls’ Generation.


Jung Yong Hwa stated, “At first, Seo Hyun said she’ll come to the press conference to support our new album. But when I mentioned that the event will be more of a guerilla concert with fans, she said she’ll send her heart instead. Even though our pretend marriage is over, we’re still there for each other.”

Even fellow CNBlue members were surprised to see Jung Yong Hwa’s romantic side on “We Got Married.” Bassist Jung Shin confessed, “It was strange. I didn’t know he could be a romantic.” After his experiences as a husband, Jung Yong Hwa said, “I believe the key to marriage is doing everything you can for your spouse without regret.”

Jung Yong Hwa and Seo Hyun have been a pretend married couple for about a year and have decided to leave “We Got Married” because of their busy schedules.



No immediate action for now but E-Tribe to approach case calmly about the plagiarism controversy


On March 21st, E-Tribe’s Ahn Myungwon updated Star News through a telephone interview about the plagiarism controversy involving Lady Gaga’s new song ‘Born This Way’.
Ahn Myungwon said, “The plagiarism allegation had been brought up by many people and it can be seen everywhere. However, we have no immediate plans on this. Honestly, the flow and arrangement of the songs are similar. I have since talked and gathered opinions from fellow experts. There were divided opinions on this as there were intricate portions of the song that make it difficult to support the allegation. Thus, we plan to respond to this matter calmly”.
However, as this is a major allegation, time is needed to carefully assess and confirm the case. Ahn added, “My opinion has not changed. I still think that Gaga’s new song is similar to mine. I will take my time and a step-by-step approach to assess this problem”.
