Controversy continues to surround C.N. Blue. ALLKPOP has reported on the latest skirmish, sparked by a video floating around the web, of the South Korean indie rock band's manager hitting a female fan outside a van the boys were exiting. This took place on February 11 outside a KBS building, which is where the boys were headed for a rehearsal. When they were met with throngs of fans, security guards could not contain the fans alone so the staff stepped in to help, including the manager. FNC Music, the band's management company, explained that one female fan grabbed and pulled on the hoodie of the first member exiting the van, Jong Hyun. When the manager saw that she was almost tripping him, he abruptly hit her head twice. The video shows Jong Hyun smiling, though FNC Music explains he did not witness the beating and that he was responding to almost falling on the ground.
C.N. Blue, which debuted first in Japan in 2009 and then in Korea a year later, is already in the hot seat for reports of plagiarism. FNC Music has expressed apology to the fans and punished the manager, stating that such an event will not happen again.
1. C.N. Blue, never heard of them ... plagiarism and punching girls ... sounds like college.
