Having recently just discovering the existence of Lee Jong Hyun from CNBLUE through watching the drama A Gentleman's Dignity, I have officially became a fan or Burning Soul, as how they call his fans. As a new fan, it really makes me wonder how I never noticed him before in the band even though I'm pretty familiar with the band. That made me into thinking. The answer came to me and haters gonna hate it- It's all the band leader, Jung Yong Hwa's fault.
Lee Jong Hyun has a great voice ( soft and smooth?), great look with a killer smile, good at guitar and he composes songs too. He's nothing short of their band leader and yet his exposure is lesser. I get it, he's introvert but that isn't an excuse. I noticed that ALL of the members are being out-shined by Yong Hwa. Sure he's more outstanding, comical, talkative, active etc. Still, they really need to give the other members a chance to shine individually on stage too. Before they even started acting, I really didn't know who they are. Jung Shin I recognize from "Seo Young My Daughter" and Min Hyuk through his appearance in Juniel's MV.
AND I was appalled to see Jong Hyun standing on his normal right corner performing his own song. I mean, isn't the main character suppose to stand in the middle? it's common sense! Instead I see Yong Hwa standing in the middle being a vase. So yeah, it irks me. Even in the songs they performed, even though yong hwa is the main vocalist but as i mentioned, I think Jong hyun has even better vocals or at least the same. Then he should have equal chance to sing in every songs instead of just singing a tiny part and being a backup for the rest. The only job he get's to do most of the time is flaunting his guitar skills. The only time he get's to sing more is when he sings his self composed songs. And still, Yong Hwa has to be in it. You have any idea how hard it is to listen to any of Jong Hyun's songs without at least being interrupted by Yong Hwa's rather high pitched voice?!
But i'm grateful that Jong hyun did well in acting which earned him at least some recognition or else he'll always be like a shadow in the group. Jung Shin and Min Hyuk too. Yong Hwa's fan is gonna hate this but i don't care. I'm just being fan to ONE person and that's Jong Hyun. So he's a bit weak (as how i saw in running man) and he has exaggerated actions when he get's excited. But it's all forgotten when I see that adorable smile, cute laughter and hear that voice. There's really something about guys with great smiles (don't forget those dimples)and good voice that makes me go weak in the knees. His passion and warmth really touches me. It's sad to see that sometimes he doesn't have much self confidence.I know how low confidence can push you into being an introvert.
So yeah, being a Burning Soul does make me defensive. (Sigh)
