[Review] CNBLUE Rock The USA with ‘BLUE MOON’ World Tour 2014: Live in NYC & LA

Hallyu Rock band CNBLUE Rock the U.S.A with two stops added to their hugely successful ‘BLUE MOON’ World tour in New York City and Pasadena, California.

CNBLUE has been touted an Idol band, flower boy actors, rock stars, composers and lyricists, but now they can add ‘World Tour Star’ to their list of titles. CNBLUE is the first ever Korean band to set out on a tour around the world, and have finally made good on their word to bring their ‘BLUE MOON’ world tour to the U.S. and Latin America with five dates in total for the first month of 2014.

On January 20th 2014, CNBLUE set foot on U.S. soil for the first time since 2012 when they last arrived for the 2012 SBS KPOP Super Concert held in Los Angeles in October of that year. Since then, the quartet set out on a non conventional plan to launch on a world tour, no band from their country had ever attempted to do so. In April of 2013, CNBLUE launched their ‘BLUE MOON’ World Tour 2013 in Taiwan and hit cities all over Asia and even making two stops in Austrailia. Since then, fans in the U.S. patiently waited their turn for ‘BLUE MOON’ in the United States. Finally, last December, with just a little over a month to prepare, CNBLUE announced their plans to visit New York City and Pasadena.

[Project Support] CNBLUE ‘BLUE MOON’ Live in NYC & LA

Dear BOICE Worldwide,

We are super excited yet super overwhelmed trying to get everything set and ready for BMUSA! We haven’t had much luck with getting anymore info from FNC or the organizers about certain details about what sort of projects and other forms of support are allowed so since there is not much time left for us before the first concert, we are letting you all know what you can do to show your support to us and CNBLUE! We are currently working with some East Coast BOICE who are helping us plan the following agenda for the upcoming events, but we are asking all BOICE to show your support with your small donations so we can make the necessary provisions.

From what we know, the outside of the Best Buy Theater is literally on the city sidewalk, and there is limited space inside as well. We don’t know what the Pasedina Civic Center will allow as far as banners and flowers on site since they still have yet to reply to our inquiries.

This is our Agenda List of Gifts and Events We Have planned:
Items already prepared:

Vintage Rock Band T-shirts for each of the guys.

• YH: Bon Jovi
• JH: Red Hot Chili Peppers
• JS: Mr. Big
• MH: Maroon 5

Each Member:

• YH: Aromatherapy Candles, bath items, Custom Converse Sneakers
• JS: Various Photography books, encouraging his love for photography
• MH: Vintage American baseball memorabilia
• JH: Personalized guitar case cover with over 15 custom patches representing the countries CNB have performed

These and more gifts are being prepared by us and will be sent by postal service since we don’t have another surefire method of delivery of the gifts to CNBLUE.

Fan Gifts, Ideas & Details for both Venues

1.) Welcoming CNBLUE at the Airport

—Banners to Welcome members at the airport

**We need to obtain CNBLUE’s travel information for when they arrive to NYC & LA respectively ahead of time** FNC nor the organizers have not replied to our emails inquiring more information so If anyone has any idea of how to obtain this information, we would be most appreciative!

2.) Fan Pre-Concert Meetup: Handouts for fans (Limited Supplies)

—lightsticks
—flyers / business cards
—stickers
—bracelets
— Special present Giveaway Prizes, ie. “PRESENT” Albums and Posters ~ Most generously provided by BOICE @h3artands3oul ... (thank you so very much for your awesome gifts ^^/)

We are also trying to figure out how to have a small pre/post concert meet up at both locations. For more information on that, please visit CNBLUE USA’s Events page.

Please be aware and understand that here in the US, the venues are not like they are in most of Asia and other parts of the world where they make allowances for banners and other support to be displayed and set up. We know you all want to show your love to CNBLUE, but we are limited with what we can do so for that we apologise. It will be difficult for us to arrange those things since we are not all located in the same areas and our team only consists of four dedicated BOICE providing this support project voluntarily as well as a few others who have contacted us to help as well so we are trying very hard to figure out what to do for you all at this time.

We are accepting donations, please donate any amount you can to the following PayPal account: CNBLUEUSA@GMAIL.COM

[★☆★] CNBLUE USA Welcomes BLUE MOON World Tour: Live in NYC & Live in LA

Dear BOICE Worldwide,

CNBLUE is finally coming to the U.S.A with their BLUE MOON WORLD TOUR and will help us ring in the new year with concert dates in NYC on January 21st and LA on the 24th of January 2014!

We at CNBLUE USA are ecstatic to be expecting our BLUE boys as its finally OUR TURN to take care of them, and that is a responsibility we hold very high so we will try our best to make sure we let them know that BOICE WORLDWIDE love and support them!

We are still working on figuring out what special projects to provide and realize that time is not on our side. Becuase of the late announcement of the concert dates, we were caught off guard and honestly didn’t think they would come at all! CNBLUE USA was just happily supporting other Fanbases during their events of support for CNBLUE, and times of need which, we will gladly continue to do whenever and however we can and because we just can’t turn down an opportunity to help our BOICE, we have depleted our funds in the process…OOOOPS! LOL. So we have to start out all over again with our savings and ask all of you to please help us out! With your generous donations, we will help to make CNBLUE’s visit to the USA a memorable one for everyone involved.

“K-POP’S HOTTEST ROCK BAND

CNBLUE consists of 4 members, Yong-Hwa Jung, Jong-Hyun Lee, Min-Hyuk Kang, and Jung-Shin Lee. They have proven their musical talent and improved the image of K-culture overall, as they have lots of live concerts in abroad as well as in Korea. Also, its members have appeared in popular Korean dramas that have appealed to global fans.

The band’s 4^th mini album “RE: Blue” that was released in January of this year was a premonition of the tour’s success. The album and its title track “I’m Sorry” not only swept all the major music charts in Korea but also topped internationally renowned pop charts such as Billboard World Album Chart, Japan’s Tower Record Chart, Taiwan’s Omusic and MYX Daily Chart in the Philippines.

The band kicked off its world tour in Taiwan in April, 2013, and continued its journey through Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Australia, Philippines, China, Malaysia and Indonesia, all of which resulted in enormous success. Now, the band is further expanding its musical territory to the U.S., Mexico, Peru, Chile and Europe to pursue its never-ending ambition.

The M-Live Project is produced to develop the music industry and globalize Korean music. The Project aims to support Korean music labels as they stride to enter the world market with CJ Corporation’s rich global network and infrastructure.”
