CNBLUE's Comeback Garners Attention from Forbes with New Single 'Still, a Flower'

CNBLUE (Jung Yong-hwa, Kang Min-hyuk, Lee Jung-shin) has caught the attention of Forbes with their recent comeback.

The renowned American business magazine Forbes recently highlighted CNBLUE's new single 'Still, a Flower,' released on New Year's Day, noting its positive impact on FNC Entertainment, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Forbes stated, "CNBLUE is set to release a full album after a long hiatus, and their pre-release track 'Still, a Flower' is receiving a warm reception worldwide."

In addition to their comeback, Forbes also focused on CNBLUE's recent activities. The magazine mentioned, "CNBLUE's single 'Shintouya' released in Japan last November topped the Oricon Daily and Weekly Single Rankings. They also performed at the FNC Family Concert 'FNC Kingdom' held at Yokohama Pia Arena MM in Japan at the end of last year."

The pre-released track 'Still, a Flower' captures the brilliance of reclaiming one's essence amidst harsh realities, akin to a flower blooming again despite wounds and darkness. Jung Yong-hwa contributed to the lyrics and composition, adding authenticity to the song, which serves as a comforting message and gift to those persevering in their own spaces as the new year begins.

Fans have responded enthusiastically, saying, "Thank you for healing us with your music. The lyrics provided warm comfort and gave me the courage to stand up again," "The best New Year's gift," "The more I listen, the better it gets. It was sad at first, but repeated listens give me strength," and "The melody is great, but the lyrics are especially beautiful."

With their pre-release track drawing significant attention both domestically and internationally, CNBLUE is set to release their third full album '3LOGY' and the music video for the title track 'Killer Joy' on January 7 at 6 PM across various music platforms.
