CNBLUE to release teaser for new album

The teaser video for Korean rock band CNBLUE's upcoming album will be released today, their agency FNC Music stated on Monday.

Through a press release, FNC said that the teaser clip for the boys' first full-length album "First Step," will be unveiled through portal site Naver and CNBLUE's official website at noon. FNC added a second teaser will be revealed a week later, followed by the release of the new album and the music video for the title track on March 21.

A song title "Imagine" from CNBLUE's upcoming record has already been revealed through main vocalist Jung Yong-hwa's commercial for brand Hazzys Accessory.

CNBLUE -- composed of members Yong-hwa, Jung-shin, Jong-hyun and Min-hyuk -- made their debut in Korea early last year with their hit single "Alone" and mini-album "Bluetory" after releasing two singles in Japan. They shot to instant fame in Korea with Jung's appearance in popular TV series "He is Beautiful" (SBS, 2009) alongside actors Jang Keun-suk, Park Shin-hye and Lee Hong-ki.

CNBLUE has also led a successful music career overseas, going double platinum in Taiwan and placing in the top ranks of the prestigious Oricon chart in Japan.

The boys have also held several fan meetings and concerts in Japan, meeting with several thousand fans during the events.

Outside of their group activities, the boys have expanded their careers in the entertainment industry, appearing in dramas, movies and a number of variety shows.
