Controversy

CNBLUE and its agency FNC Entertainment were sued by Korean punk band Crying Nut for unauthorized use of their song “Pilsal Off-Side” on Mnet’s “M Countdown” in 2010. Crying Nut also charged that CNBLUE had released a DVD of the concert in Japan and profited from it.[91] Crying Nut claimed that not only did CNBLUE use the song without permission, but also lip-synced along with the original Crying Nut recording.[92] Crying Nut allegedly posted online that CNBLUE "must pay the penalties for intellectual property rights infringement".[91] CNBLUE later countersued Crying Nut for allegedly accusing CNBLUE of copyright infringement, filing an injunction against Crying Nut's online criticisms,[93] claiming that the intellectual property theft was the responsibility of CJ E&M and the unspecified company responsible for the DVD sales, and that Crying Nut's allegations may have permanently damaged CNBLUE's reputation as Hallyu stars.[91]

Earlier in 2010, CNBLUE was accused by fans of Ynot for plagiarising their song "Blue Bird" in their own song "I'm a Loner." Ultimately, the band was cleared of any wrongdoing.[94] Ynot released a statement saying they did not blame the band, but rather took issue with the composers who wrote the song and its lyrics for the band.[95]

Philanthropy

CNBLUE has conducted various philanthropy works such as donating money and rice. Part of their yearly income and income from the Bluemoon World Tour has also been contributed into the building of CNBLUE Schools.[96] The first CNBLUE School has been built in Burkina Faso, Africa in 2012 and can be attended by up to 100 pre-schoolers and 1000 elementary and junior high school students. CNBLUE Schools will provide meals and daycare services to the enrolled students.
