Verbal Jint is a lyricist, rapper, and producer on Brand New Music. He was recently featured on Epik High’s hit, “Born Hater.”

Yoon Do Hyun is the leader and founder of the Korean rock group YB. His appearance on the album will provide unique hard rock sounds to balance the pop rock style that Jung Yong Hwa has established with CNBLUE.

His final collaboration announcement involves Singaporean Mandopop star JJ Lin. JJ Lin received a Golden Melody Award in 2014 for Best Mandopop Male Vocalist and has been pictured with CNBLUE during their concerts, in the past.
