FNC Entertainment's idol bands CNBLUE and FT Island held a successful joint concert in America. The two Korea’s premiere bands came prepared to bring the house down at the "Stand Up by M Live" concert, held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on March 9th.

The boys charmed the audience with their powerful and energetic performances as if they are intent on winning some more fans over. More than 5,000 fans gathered for the event, of which 80 percent were non-Korean fans.

CNBLUE started off the concert with its hits "Intuition", "I’m a Loner" and "Love", along with its Japanese singles and a variety of hard core rock pieces.

FT Island followed with its sad rock ballads "Hello Hello", "Love Love Love" and "Severely" to set its own mood. Lead vocalist Lee Hong Ki’s vocals were especially said to be the high point of the show. The group then set the Theatre on fire with hard rock genre pieces such as "I’ll Love Everything" and "Revolution", which had the members jumping up and down the stage in an explosion of passion.

Both CNBLUE and FT Island proved that they are indeed the best rock bands and managed to successfully spread their music out of Asia.

In the end of the event, AEG vice president Susan Rosenbluth remarked, "I’m realizing how big K-Pop is becoming every day. The performance was a very satisfactory one that showed great stage directing and artist capability."
