Korean rock band CNBLUE held their second official fan meeting in Japan last week, according to their agency FNC Music.

On Tuesday, FNC announced in a press release that over 5,000 BOICES [official name of CNBLUE's fans] attended the "CNBLUE 2nd Official Fanclub Event 2011~Welcome to BOICE JAPAN II~" held at the Pacifico Yokohama Hall on June 3.

The four-member band performed 13 songs at the event including "Intuition" and "LOVE GIRL" from their first full-length album "FIRST STEP" as well as talking with their fans.

"It feels like it has been a while since we have seen our fans in Japan," the members of CNBLUE said in the press release. "We were worried when we heard about the earthquake that occurred last March but we are relieved to see that many of you are safe. It's been five months since our last performance here and we will see you again at our concert."

CNBLUE, composed of members Jung Yong-hwa, Kang Min-hyuk, Lee Jung-shin and Lee Jong-hyun, made their debut in Korea early last with their hit single "Alone" and mini-album "Bluetory" after releasing two singles in Japan.

"FIRST STEP" is the group's first full-length album which sold over 150,000 copies in Korea alone and saw all 30,000 copies of its limited edition sell out in just a day of going on sale, as well as sweeping major music charts of Japan and Taiwan.

So far, members Jung and Kang are busy working on their upcoming MBC drama "Heartstrings" which will premiere later this month.
