• CNBLUE's Jung Yong Hwa Calls His First Hawaii Vacation a Reward for His Hard Work

    CNBLUE member Jung Yong Hwa recently shared his love for Hawaii during his special DJ stint on MBC FM4U’s 'Hope Song at Noon with Kim Shin Young' on August 14.

    Jung Yong Hwa, who filled in for Kim Shin Young, joked about his debut on the show, saying, "Even though it's my first time on 'Hope Song,' it feels like I’ve been here before. It always seems like that. I’ve really gone all out for this appearance, including the live broadcast and cameras. It’s almost like a variety show! They told me my appearance caused a lot of messages to come in," he said with a smile.

    During the show, he talked about his recent vacation to Hawaii. When a listener mentioned that Hawaii was their honeymoon spot and praised its beautiful sky, Jung Yong Hwa responded, "Hawaii is amazing. It was the first time I really went on vacation, and it felt like a reward for all my hard work. If you get a chance to go, I definitely recommend it. I can suggest some great restaurants there too."

    Jung Yong Hwa also shared a fun tidbit about his impersonation skills, saying, "I didn’t really practice impersonations. I used to mimic my teachers in school to quiet the noisy kids, and it turned out to be a useful skill in my entertainment career.” This confession brought some laughs and added a personal touch to his appearance on the show.
