Great band! I love their songs Hello Hello and Love Love Love.

I don't really like "Hello, Hello", but I loved watching people singing along to it in the 2011 MBC Gayo Daejun.



This was a collaboration between: Ft. Island, C.N. Blue, K.Will, 2PM & SuJu. It was after they had their New Year's countdown.
