Marking their comeback to Malaysia since 2015, CNBLUE which is now made up of three members — lead vocalist and guitarist Jong Yong-hwa, bassist Lee Jung-shin and drummer Kang Min-hyuk — captivated the audience.

Although it was their first time performing as a trio in Malaysia, the Mega Star Arena still erupted in euphoria as the band opened with their debut breaking single I’m a Loner.

The band performed a total of 24 songs including a slew of their chart-topping hits such as Love Light, I’m Sorry, Then, Now and Forever as well as fan-favourite Can’t Stop.

All three members captured the hearts of the audience through their stage-antics where Jong, Lee and Kang even practised their Bahasa Malaysia onstage.
