CNBLUE and FTISLAND to expand to Europe with concerts early 2012

It's been recently revealed that FNC Music's rock band will be coming to Europe early next year. With concerts to be expected in the UK and France, FNC Music's CEO Han Sungho showed his confidence that his company's bands will do well. "Although there is pressure to extend our career overseas, right into the home of band music, on the other hand, I actually did expect this could happen. When I look at members who already had previous experience, I am confident that Korean band music is not at all behind the world-class standard."

These opportunities were created through M-Live, a concert produced by CJ E&M and which will bring not only solo concerts but also joint concerts to Europe. Since the biggest chunk of today's Hallyu consists out of pop groups, CJ E&M's Ahn Seokjun stated that they plan to introduce various genres and groups.

The press conference which was held surrounding the plans and concert series also included six different music companies such as Cube Entertainment, Star Empire (ZE:A, Jewelry), Amoeba Culture (Dynamic Duo, Supreme Team), Jungle Entertainment (Drunken Tiger, Leessang, Tasha/Yoon Mirae), FNC Music and J.Tune (MBLAQ).
