CN Blue takes no.1 on Oricon Indies Chart

Korean rock band CNBLUE has placed on the prestigious Oricon chart once again with their second single.

On Friday, the group's agency FNC Music announced that the latest single "I don't know why" took the No. 1 spot on Oricon's weekly Indies singles chart according to the poll as of September 27, while their first single "The Way" stands in seventh.

"I don't know why," which features four tracks written by leader Jung Yong-hwa and member Jong-hyun, had entered the Oricon's daily singles chart in sixth place on the day of its release on September 16.

The four-member band, who held three concerts in the country last month, will hold a fan meeting at the Tokyo International Forum on October 28.

CNBLUE released two singles in Japan before breaking into the local music scene earlier this year with their hit single "Alone" and mini-album "Bluetory."

The group recently went double platinum in Taiwan, selling over 10,000 copies of "Bluetory" and their second mini-album "Bluelove."

Which Idol didn't go through a 'foot acting' debate ?

KBS drama ‘Sung Gyun Gwan Scandal’ became a hot topic as idol group DBSK Micky Yoochun’s debut into acting.

He became the center of attention for his role as the lead, Lee Sun Joon, and many were interested to see what kind of acting he would show.

But despite this kind of burden, Micky Yoochun digested his aloof character that has wealth, looks, and intelligence with his own unique color. Not only did he avoid going through a ‘foot acting’ critique, but he is also flawlessly performing in an old-time drama, in which delivering the lines is known to be difficult.

As idol stars are beginning to transform into actors, critiques of their acting ability are hot on their trails. But the number of idols who, like Micky Yoochun, are taking the high road with their surprising acting ability is far from few.
