C.N. Blue don't have cell phones

[queefing.livejournal.com]

Popular Korean band CNBLUE revealed on Mnet cable show M Rookies that not one of the band members carries around a cell phone. They revealed, "Since we don't have cell phones, we've never went on a late night out before."

This is something 99.9% of people nowadays would not be able to handle as most people consider their cell phones as part of them as an arm. The fact none of them carry around cell phones also carries a trace of irony due to the fact that leader Jung Yonghwa recently endorsed the Sony Ericcson phone Xperia X10.

The co-host of the show Son Ho Young empathized with the boys as he had once been a member of an old boy group g.o.d. Having been in a similar situation as the group he shared his experience saying, I know about about the lifestyle because I've also lived in a dorm before. The question that newly debuted artists are often asked is about their dorm life."

The group were also asked to identify "which member is complete opposite when compare to their celebrity life and their ordinary life" and "the member who doesn't come to the dorms often." The group seemed to be at a consensus as the majority of the group pointed to the maknae Jungshin. Some Korean groups have members that are young enough to still be living at home with parents, Big Bang's Daesung for example was still in school just before the groups debut.

I would die. I don't text or call people much but I live on MSN and Twitter, and I use both from my phone.

[polyurethane.livejournal.com]

I was just gonna say this.

Unless he borrowed it from someone idk.

[bitter-sweet05.livejournal.com]

I got mine at 18 too. My mom didn't think I needed one until I was an ~adult~, but now all my younger siblings have them as well, and take them to school. -________-

[kyungsan.livejournal.com]

wait, then what's the cellphone that yonghwa uses on wgm?

[czarny.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[czarny.livejournal.com]

Bollocks.

[polyurethane.livejournal.com]

It's not that uncommon for people to not have cellphones at their age.

I never got my first phone until I was 20.

[mo-chan-tf.livejournal.com]

same here.

[oystersauce87.livejournal.com]

Not surprised since fti had their phones taken away until early 2009.

[lilykt7.livejournal.com]

don't the wgm people GIVE their couples couple phones to use. Even uee said that she has never called her husband.

[lilykt7.livejournal.com]

but uuuuunf burning ilh.

[bitter-sweet05.livejournal.com]

The only problem with that is what if you run into an emergency? I know I would have been stranded miles from my house several times had I not had a cell phone. Then again my car tends to break down/explode/etc. without reason so idek.

[babycakes.livejournal.com]

my friend is meeting them tomorrow~

[tokyoduchess.livejournal.com]

this is probably like the girlfriend thing. yeah, okay.

[iconusa.livejournal.com]

Is Daesung really the best example to use? Wouldn't Taemin or Dongho be better?

On that note, why is that little tidbit necessary?

[bababerry.livejournal.com]

because dae didnt live in BB dorm until they debuted?
from BB documentary looks like he's going back and forth from home to practice

[paigeeybby.livejournal.com]

The cells they use on WGM are couple phones, right? Given to them by the show~

[baeby-bloo-skys.livejournal.com]

slightly OT but, OP, your icon is sort of amazing

[bitter-sweet05.livejournal.com]

Speaking of amazing icons, UNF to yours.

[allthingsgood.livejournal.com]

i call bs. korea's probably the first or second most wired country in the world, i HIGHLY doubt this.

[peachmacaroons.livejournal.com]

If they had to choose an ideal cell phone, chances are it's Yoona.

[freezing-flames.livejournal.com]

LMAO

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

would would they use DaeDae as the example... all the rookies just got off their mums teet.

[freezing-flames.livejournal.com]

lol Snake was so addicting though

[xaoiholic.livejournal.com]

They said that before already.



.. And I still don't believe it. |:

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

I guess their management wants to keep them in tight leash. o_O

[weerainbow.livejournal.com]

lol i remember the days when cell phones were bricks and i was embarrassed to be caught speaking on my first one when i got it!!!

[lilykt7.livejournal.com]

at first i was how old is she but then i remembered that cellphones aren't really that old. They used to be huge even when i was like 8 or 10.

[frequency.livejournal.com]

i don't put much faith into this, but ok, lol.

i just got my first cell phone a year ago so w/e. :\

[sushifaced.livejournal.com]

none of them have ever had a girlfriend. they've never been kissed either.
they also never use the restroom.

[amberr21.livejournal.com]

lol irl

[amberr21.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is kind of awesome. ^_^ I like to see people who are less reliant on technology.

I remember when it was exciting to have a cell phone. I got my first one when I was 16, and squealed with excitement...

Now it's the tiny annoying device that my boss calls me on. I keep it off and in my room or on silent in my purse 95% of the time. xD
