Biography
Musical career
Jung Yong-hwa was born on June 22, 1989 in Seoul, Yeoksam-dong. His family consists of his parents and a brother four years older than him. He moved to Pusan in 1991 and lived there through high school, where he first began composing music.[1] After taking his college entrance exam, he moved back to Seoul[2] where he joined F&C Music and began training in bass technology at F&C Academy.[3] Yong-hwa is now a guitarist and vocalist for the new Korean group C.N. Blue (씨엔블루 Code Name Blue), along with members Lee Jong Hun (leader, guitarist and vocalist), Kwon Kwang Jin (bassist) and Kang Min Hyuk (drummer). Yong-hwa is the oldest member in the band.[2]
From June 2009, C.N. Blue began a string of performances and gigs at live clubs in Japan, before making its first official debut on August 19, 2009, with the debut album "Now or Never".[4] C.N. Blue is due to formally debut in South Korea on January 14, 2010.[5]
Acting career
In early 2009, Yong-hwa landed his first acting role as Kang Shin-woo in the SBS drama You're Beautiful, which aired from October 7 to November 26, 2009. As the series revolves around the life of a musical group, Yong-hwa played the role of the bassist in the faux idol band A.N.JELL along with fellow co-stars Jang Geun Suk, Park Shin Hye and Lee Hong Ki. His performance garnered him the New Star Award at the SBS Drama Awards 2009, held on December 31, where he also performed together with A.N.JELL.[6] Yong-hwa's second TV contract was for MBC's Sunday, Sunday Night program Korea Ecosystem Rescue Centre: Hunters, which featured seven celebrity MCs, including Kim Hyun Joong of SS501 going out to capture wild boars[7]. The show premiered on December 6, 2009 but will prematurely cease its run in mid-January 2010 due to protests by animal-rights groups.[8] MBC will be replacing Hunters with a new program on global warming,[9] however, Yong-hwa will continue as one of the MCs.
