Pinoy fans overjoyed at CNBLUE's concert
By JONATHAN HICAP, Manila Bulletin
If there's one thing that endeared Korean boy band CNBLUE more to
their fans during their "Blue Moon: 2013 CNBLUE World Tour" in Manila
concert on June 15, it was their effort to connect to the audience by speaking
in Filipino and English.
From "Masaya ba kayo? (Are you happy?),"
"Sabay-sabay (All together now)," "Kantahin (kantahan) natin
siya (Let's sing for him (Yonghwa))," "Nagugutom na ako (I'm
hungry)" to "I love you Philippines," "Make some
noise," CNBLUE made sure that the fans who went to the concert at Araneta
Coliseum would have fun and could relate to what they were saying.
