miss D.
•you are moonlight
Hello. This is CANENT.

It’s been a while since we’ve been able to bring good news about F.CUZ to the fans who’ve loved and supported them, and we are very happy.

After the withdrawal of a member, F.CUZ has remained silent about the matter, but finally they are announcing the addition of a new member.

For a while, F.CUZ has been promoting as a three membered unit group with Jinon, Kan, and Yejun. Although they’ve been lacking in places, they put forth great effort. To fill that lack, there has been an addition of a new member and they are currently practicing very hard for a Korean comeback at the beginning of 2012.

You are all probably very curious about the new member. To lessen your curiosity, we’ve revealed the first video teaser of the new member.

In this teaser, the new member sang, in his own style, the song “1994 One Late Night” by Jang Hyejin, who he has admired for a long time. We think that you’ll be able to sense his tender, yet strong young vocals and feel his charms in this video.

Through the song, he is meeting you for the first time and we ask for your continual love and support.

Lastly, please have lots of interest in F.CUZ, who will come back with a different image in 2012. Thank you.^^

Musical “Elizabeth,” Brilliant Casting Behind-The-Scenes Revealed

miss D.
•you are moonlight

The exact face of “Rudolf” the director was looking for, Lee Seunghyun makes a musical debut.

The last to be casted in “Elizabeth” is the youngest, Lee Seunghyun. Before, he used to be the center of focus for being the son of the extremely popular singer Sul Woondo. Although used to promote as a singer in the group F.Cuz, Seunghyun never stood on stage as an actor or a musical performer.

However Director Robert Johansen said, “He is the closest to the image of Rudolf I had. He has character and he possesses a voice that can portray a young man’s shaky emotions.” Kim Seungdae revealed his high expectations for Lee Seunghyun, who will be sharing a stage with veteran actors such as Jeon Dongseok.

Producer Kim Jiwon added, “Although the practice period was extremely short after receiving the all-original music scores, his audition was absolutely perfect and I was surprised. Rudolf’s representative number is “Shadows Get Longer.” It really left an impression on me. It is an extremely difficult song to digest, but Seunghyun’s singing skills and ability to portray emotions are through the roof.” Lee Seunghyun said that he did research on his character before auditioning.

Although he is not a very well-known singer, Lee Seunghyun is a hidden jewel. As the newcomer who has made the producers fall for him, we are looking forward to how Lee Seunghyun will portray the role of Rudolf.

LeeU leaves a message for fans about withdrawing from F.CUZ

miss D.
•you are moonlight

It was previously reported that member LeeU was officially withdrawing from F.CUZ. Fans were able to read the agency’s official statement, but now it seems that LeeU himself has some words to say about his exit.

LeeU posted a number of tweets about how he is thankful for the kind words and support. He tweeted, “Everyone, this is my reason. It’s very late, but I wanted to say these words,” and attached a link to a longer message concerning his thoughts and feelings.

LeeU went on to state,

“As you’ve all read in the news reports, my F.CUZ members and I belonged to different agencies during our activities. However, as time went on, the paths that the agencies wanted to take, even down to music choice, became different so they had to go their separate ways. It was a very difficult time before this decision. Not being able to sleep was a given, it was so bad that I cried everyday seeing clips of our performances. No one can say it was easy for the two companies to come to this decision.

During the past 2 trainee years and 1 year after debut, the members were like family – we all cried and depended on one another during rough times, and my heart is breaking because we can’t keep the promise that we’d stick by each other until the end. Though things have turned out like this, we plan to keep the promise that we’ll still look after each other… In my head, I’m still the jokester and second biggest brother of F.CUZ; I’m F.CUZ’s main vocal LeeU, and I will forever be those things in my heart while remembering the happy times.

Yntil all four us are smiling together, until the day the four of us release an album as F.CUZ, please look at us kindly and not harshly, and I ask that you support us all. Thank you.”

Yejun "(I) lost 15kg and developed Anorexia through dieting"

•you are moonlight


In a recent interview with Newsen, Yejun told us he “lost about 12-15kg” and “I managed not to collapse physically but (in spirit) I did.”

While in a period of not promoting and their activities was being monitored it was decided that F.CUZ’s members needed to urgently diet so the members all started trying to lose weight. Yejun himself “had the focus of my meals being salad or fruit”.

Yejun revealed that “after having removed almost all meat from my food I started developing symptoms that were similar to anorexia” and “After I was allowed meat again I still thought that if I’d eat meat I’d get fat again so I deliberately tried throwing up”. Continuing he also said “Since starting activities again I’ve become able to eat normally without gaining weight” and “I wouldn’t be able to stand starving like that again” and laughed.

F.CUZ’s diet was very similar to a ‘war against meat’. Every morning we weighed ourselves with a competitive spirit. “We lied about our weight and became motivated by each others’ results, inspiring us to eat even less. It became a more violent “battle” than if we would have compared ourselves to another group. If I look back our results were almost the same”.

When the MCs asked him to lift up his bangs, rather than a receding hairline, LeeU showed off a beautiful face.
