“But as incredible as both groups were, it was CNBLUE who really ended up stealing the show with their addictive brand of catchy K-rock. Not only did they whip the place into a frenzy with a handful of their perfectly performed hits, but they also teamed up with MBLAQ’s G.O. and B2St’s Yoseob for a joint performance that was by far the best out of all the ‘Special Stages’ the K-Pop Fest had to offer.”
