🎁 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JONGHYUN OPPA

April 8th, it’s SHINee’s Jonghyun‘s birthday (>‿◠)✌

Today is Kim Jonghyun’s 26th birthday (27th in korean age). He is a member of the Korean boy group SHINee (they are under SM Entertainment) in which he is the main vocalist.

Jonghyun has been involved with music ever since he was a teenager. In high school, he was part of a band named ‘Zion’ in which he was the bassist. They played at many local festivals and eventually, he was spotted by an SM Ent. employee. He joined the company in 2005 after passing the audition. He debuted with SHINee on May 22nd, 2008.

In late 2010, Jonghyun joined TRAX’ Jay, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun and Jino on SM Ent.’s project ‘SM The Ballad’ (basically a ballad sub-unit). Their first single was the song Miss You.

Jonghyun has composed lyrics for many songs and not only for SHINee; songs like IU’s Gloomy Clock, Taemin’s Pretty Boy and EXO’s Playboy were written by him.

He has also released some OSTs for very famous dramas like City Hunter, Birth Of a Beauty, Who Are You: School 2015 and Oh My Venus.

On January 7th, 2015, Jonghyun made his solo debut with the song Déjà Boo, which he composed himself, just like all the other songs in his solo debut album. Later that year, he released another solo album he composed himself entitled Story Op.1 which ranked #7 on Billboard World Albums.

Woah… so many things this guy has accomplished and worked on already! Jonghyun is probably one of the most hard-working artists out there, he is also very kind and has a beautiful heart so don’t forget to show him lots of love and always support him ♥♥♥

SEPTEMBER 14TH | CNBLUE “CINDERELLA” COMEBACK

On the past 14th of September, 2015, CNBLUE made their long-awaited comeback with the album 2gether which included the title track 신데렐라 (Cinderella). Click here to watch their MV for the song 신데렐라.
The song’s lyrics express a man’s desire to be with the woman he loves however, she keeps running away. This is one of the things I love about CNBLUE, they are very skilled when it comes composing and I love how the words sound so smooth with the melody. I also find CNBLUE particularly special because they’re an actual band and not a boy group, which allows them to make more unique and pop-rock-ish tracks. Of course, non of this would be possible if it wasn’t for Yonghwa’s and Jonghyun’s vocals all the members’ talents for the instruments they play.
The music video is also very cute and quite original, I really like how it matches the story behind the lyrics! Don’t forget to click the link above the watch their music video!
This post is mainly about the title track but don’t forget to check out the other songs in CNBLUE’s album 2gether and show them lots of love~~
