As part of its ongoing “Can’t Stop” world tour, South Korean band CNBLUE will have its second concert in Manila on Sept. 19 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Unlike other K-Pop groups that have recently visited the country, CNBLUE—which debuted in 2009—plays alternative pop rock music; its four members play musical instruments.
Composed of Jung Yong-hwa (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Lee Jong-hyun (lead guitar, vocals), Kang Min-hyuk (drums), and Lee Jung-shin (bass guitar, vocals),
CNBLUE has produced hit songs like “I’m a Loner,” “Love” and “I’m Sorry.”
