CNBLUE is a South Korean pop-rock idol band. The quartet made its debut in Japan under AI Entertainment in 2009, where it released its first two independent mini-albums Now or Never and Voice.[1] [2] Written entirely in English, the former contained two songs by frontman Jung Yong-hwa ("Just Please" and "Love Revolution"), while the latter contained one ("Y, Why...").[3] [4] The band proceeded to debut in its home country under FNC Entertainment with the mini-album Bluetory (2010), in which Jung contributed to the Korean lyrics of two tracks alongside the record label's CEO Han Seong-ho: "Love Revolution" and "Y, Why...".[5] With CNBLUE's followup Bluelove, in addition to the songs penned solely by Jung ("Tattoo" and "Love Light"), drummer Kang Min-hyuk co-wrote "Sweet Holiday" with Han.[6]
In 2011, CNBLUE released its first full-length album First Step in South Korea. Jung wrote or co-wrote five of the songs, while the band as a whole is credited for writing two additional tracks.[7] A month later, the band released the special mini-album First Step +1 Thank You; Jung contributed lyrics to two tracks, while guitarist and vocalist Lee Jong-hyun co-wrote one song.[8] Later that year, CNBLUE released its final independent album 392 in Japan. A majority of the track were written solely by Jung, in addition to Lee's singular contribution.[9] The release of mini-album Ear Fun (2012) saw Jung aid in the songwriting on three out of six tracks.[10] In the band's first studio album Code Name Blue (2012) under Warner Music Japan, Jung wrote or co-wrote seven of the album's tracks.[11]
With the release of (2013), "I'm Sorry" marked the first time Jung contributed to the lyrics of a lead single in South Korea.[12] With the exception of one song, he also wrote the remaining tracks on the record.[13] Since the release of What Turns You On? later that year, nearly all songs have been entirely written or co-written by Jung and Lee. The exceptions had lyrics provided by bassist Lee Jung-shin.[14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]
