【E】슈가맨에 무도까지, 싱송라 정용화의 진가 From SugarMan to InfiniteChallenge: Singer-Songwriter Jung Yonghwa's Caliber
Trans)
“I have the confidence to show (what I’ve got)”
I met CNBLUE last month who came back with a new album. After discussing a few things, including the title track “You’re So Fine,” we went on to talking about variety shows. Jung Yonghwa revealed he will be appearing in MBC Infinite Challenge’s Wedding Singers and JTBC Sugar Man.
Coincidentally, both shows invited Jung as the arranger. Jung reinterpreted The Name’s “The Name” on Sugar Man, and formed Wedding Boys with Lee Joon and Yoon Doojoon at Kwanghee’s request and completed a wedding song.
At the time of the interview, Jung was filled with love for the two shows and were very confident of the songs he made. “Many places are looking to me for musical (activities). If I wasn’t ready, it would have been a burden, but I have the confidence I’ve bulit up so far, I’ve got a lot to show you.”
His confidence was right on. On ‘Sugar Man’, he maintained the emotions of the original ballad but incorporated reggae and jazz to create music with a twist. To his artistic arrangement, he added his own chorus and won the hearts of the teens and those in 30-40s to clench the final win.
Infinite Challenge is also receiving rave reviews. The midway checkup for the five ‘Wedding Singers’ teams were on the broadcast of May 14th. Jung Yonghwa, LJ, YDJ, and KH’s Wedding Boys team garnered absolute response from the audience. They prepared the stage with a beautifully incorporated version of “Marry You” and “The Proposal”. The reaction was so hot that they won no.1 out of the first three teams.
It’s a moment that once again showcased the true caliber of singer-songwriter Jung Yonghwa. It was possible because he has created CNBLUE’s own music all this time.
-
Yup he really a genius.
-
I'm so happy for YongHwa. Yessss... show them all Yong!!!!
-
No wonder EA's just want him to go solo .He's a lot more appreciated that way! But in the end it will always be his choice! I am glad he is being recognized. "I've got so much to show", I know he's gonna keep on surprising me.So proud of him !
-
still no one can replace cnblue to work with him tho :( but yeah right, just because cnblue already labelled as an idol no one ever appreciate their works
-
Honestly, YH works well with anybody.
-
I really missed his solo acts .... he has lots more to show outside band activities. He has never slacken on his band-related activities but I felt he's not really genuinely appreciated & often taken for granted by lots of people. He has the substance so he will shine regardless. He's such a versatile artiste; he just needs opportunity. While I love his songs written for the band because they allow each member to showcase their capability, it's still does not quench my thirst for this singer-songwriter-producer-actor ... so ad-hoc activities like empathy project, sugarman & infinite challenge are such a blessing with his busy schedule. I am also waiting patiently for solo album II and the JYH band concerts..
-
I'm really happy that he is being recognised for this musical talents and being invited to those variety shows that can showcase his musical talents. Loved his rearranged song on Sugarman and IC. He's just so talented.

He has the talent, attitude, personality and everything else required to go a long journey as an artist. His biggest challenge (apart from haters & all other distractions) is to find & maintain that fine balance between artistic authenticity & commercial success. It's very difficult to do so while still technically being a kpop idol (I say 'technically' because he's under a kpop agency bounded by an idol contract & has to make money for the agency).
But this is YH we're talking about so I'm going to trust him on this; He always finds his own way of doing things. That's where the solo debut comes in; It paved way for him -so far- to collaborate with a talented & respected indie artist (project Empathy), take part in Sugarman & now Wedding Singers, & more opportunities will follow. He is no longer restricted within the boundaries of CNBLUE.
However IMO, if he leaves CNB that should happen only according to his own wishes; NOT due to the hating from antis or the pressure from fans. Once again, I'll trust his judgement on this. -
I like the fact Yonghwa has the rare talent to combine western elements with traditional ones, as it was seen in the mixture of the two wedding songs... The new product was awesome, Yonghwa put his perfect sense and add beautiful elements to create a unique, memorable song - that's a true musical talent.
I'm glad he is becoming more visible in different projects, that is also an indicator of increasing recognition of his abilities, by true other artists, which I think it is more important than to be hate by some invidious people...
I don't think we will leave CNBLUE, as he is a loyal person, he will find a way to shine anyway - good luck Yonghwa in all your projects!
