In July, Yong Hwa will release his third mini album, "One Last
Yong Hwa wrote and composed all the songs on the album himself, and was involved in everything from the recording process to the album concept.
He is currently focusing on his solo career, but his roots are in the band.
He is the leader of CNBLUE, who joined the ranks of the most popular groups with "Iloner."
He has been in the entertainment industry for 16 years now. Does he have a special secret to finding inspiration for writing and composing so many songs?
"It's a common phrase, but there are times when something suddenly feels fresh and new. 'Ah, this is a revelation from God.'"
He says that inspiration comes to him with this feeling. It was one photo that made Yong Hwa famous even before his debut. The so-called "handsome photo at the ski resort"
After seeing Yong Hwa's image spread online, he received love calls from various agencies. However, Yong Hwa, who lives in Busan, thought that being a celebrity was something only special people could do.
Hwa thought that the people of Seoul were in a different world from hers, even thinking that they had received special education (to become celebrities).
Just when he thought it was over, he went to Seoul and got the chance to audition. Yong Hwa was so confident that he was 100% sure he got the audition.
The news of his success was announced. However, he didn't immediately become a trainee. When he failed the university entrance exam and was worried about his future, he started to take an interest in trainees and decided to become a full-fledged trainee.
I enrolled in training because singing was fun, and after I decided to become a celebrity, I spent two years gaining experience in acting and singing.
With this prepared appearance, they stood in front of the general public and debuted as "CNBLUE" with the song "I'm Alone".
It took just 15 days for the new band CNBLUE to take first place on a music show with their song "A loner." In short, it was a sudden surge of excitement for the new band CNBLUE.
Not only did he excel in his skills, but he also excelled on variety shows, and continued to create his own unique style with his solo albums.
He does everything well, but what is the one thing he lacks?
Yong Hwa responded that he was a little disappointed with his studies. He said that his dream was to become a class leader or vice-class leader based on his own ability, and revealed that he wished he had studied better.
Yong Hwa studied so hard that the only thing he worked harder at than singing was studying, and now he is pouring that passion into singing.
When she debuted with "Idol", it seemed like everything she wanted was coming true. "Everything I said I wanted to be number one, I achieved it.
"If I could just make it to number one, it would be number one," he said. He said he had a good feeling about how he had gained popularity and fame from the start and that all his wishes had come true, and that he would really make it onto the Billboard charts.
At the time, it seemed unrealistic for popular music to even dream of reaching number one on the Billboard charts. However, as K-POP gained popularity worldwide, it became impossible.
There were singers who were able to achieve their dreams. On the other hand, Yong Hwa felt that his dream was getting further and further away, and he felt a great sense of frustration. "I still have that dream," he says calmly.
It was Yong Hwa. It seems we are one step closer to the day when his songs, which are filled with a strong sense of self-confidence, will be sung by many more people.
