About CB-623c
1. Introduction
CB-623c is a non-profit fanmade project, created with the goal of becoming a repository for content related to the artist Cường Bạch (Bạch Hồng Cường).
The aim of CB-623c is to build a comprehensive website where all content (photos, videos, articles, magazines, etc.) related to Cường Bạch is systematically organized and archived. We hope to support the fan community, especially new and international fans, by making it easier for them to follow Cường Bạch’s career journey.
2. Inspiration
The main concept of the project is inspired by astronomy, specifically the way stars and planets are named.
☆ CB-623: Abbreviation of the stage name Cường Bạch and his birthday, June 23rd. In the project’s worldview, this represents a “star” symbolizing Bạch Hồng Cường.
☆ CB-623c: Represents a “planet” orbiting around the central star CB-623. According to the naming convention for exoplanets adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), planets orbiting a star are usually labeled with a lowercase letter (b, c, d…) following the star’s name.
We chose the letter c because it is the first letter of cool, cute, charismatic, courageous, confident - qualities that highlight Cường’s personality. Additionally, c is the first letter of center, reflecting how Cường is always the center of our hearts.
Why the number 623? It represents Cường’s birthday and also evokes a subtle reference to B-612, the small planet in The Little Prince where The Little Prince tenderly cares for a single rose. Coincidentally, Cường Bạch’s fandom is also called White Rose.
In the universe, a planet is usually formed from gas and colliding dust particles over a long period. A planet does not emit its own light but reflects the light from the star it orbits. Through this concept, we want to express that it is thanks to the light of the star Cường Bạch that we have the opportunity to meet, be inspired, and gradually create a “planet” revolving solely around him. We hope this space will become a place to preserve our beautiful memories throughout the journeys ahead.
3. Direction
The CB-623c project operates on two platforms to optimize content dissemination and archiving.
3.1. cb-623c.carrd.co – Primary Information Portal
The CB-623c website serves as the project’s entry point, providing an overview and guiding users to explore the content. The website includes six main sections:
- Profile: General introduction about Cường Bạch.
- Career Journey: The artist’s career path.
- Discography: Released music works.
- Gallery: Photo library.
- Articles: Excerpts of articles written about Cường.
- Whiteroseum: "Digital museum” of White Rose, compiling fanart and fanmade videos.
3.2. cb-623c-files.com – In-Depth Content Library
The second website, CB-623c Files, operates alongside the first site and serves as a more detailed content repository. The Vietnamese version CB-623c Files is currently organized into four main sections:
- About: Detailed introduction of the project.
- Gallery: Compilation of information and images from TV programs, events, and brands.
- Videos: Archiving videos of participated TV programs and stage performances.
- Media: Compilation of posts and news from official media channels.
Due to certain difficulties, most of the website’s content is currently only available in Vietnamese. However, English translations will be provided when necessary. A biography article of Cường Bạch is presented on the English version of the website to help international fans get to know him better.
3.3. Integration of the Two Platforms
The two websites are closely linked to create a multidimensional content ecosystem: CB-623c attracts attention, shapes the concept, and guides users, while CB-623c Files provides a complete and accessible library for those who want to explore more about Cường Bạch.
