The 16-year veteran band CNBLUE set Seoul's night ablaze with a relentless run without a "Limit." Proving the weight of their full-length album with a flawless live performance, they experienced a "runner's high" with fans and took a successful first step in their new world tour.
CNBLUE held the 2026 CNBLUE LIVE "3LOGY" (2026 CNBLUE Live "Thrillogy") at the Ticketlink Live Arena (formerly Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium) in Seoul on the 18th. The concert, which used the same title as their full-length third album "3LOGY," released on the 7th, signified a single system completed by the three members each forming their own axis.
The concert opened with "Ready, Set, Go!" Then powerful numbers such as "Catch Me" and "RACER" poured out, and the audience rose from their seats and went wild.
The members marveled at the audience's enthusiastic response and greeted them, saying, "This is no joke from the start. Thank you for coming to our full-length album concert. We're so happy so many came. Following yesterday, this is the final Seoul show. Thank you for coming."
Then Jung Yong-hwa declared, "I wrote 'Ready, Set, Go!' thinking it would be good as an opening. Yesterday was really fun. Yesterday is yesterday and today is today. I'll set this place on fire today. I will not set a limit on myself. How far do Jung Yong-hwa's limits go, how far do CNBLUE's limits go, how far do your limits go? Let's try," foreshadowing an intense performance.
The highlight of the day was a setlist that perfectly blended old and new. CNBLUE heated up the venue by performing live all 10 tracks from their full-length third album, including the title track "Killer Joy," as well as era-defining hits such as "Intuition," "Love," "I'm Sorry," and "Lonely."
Jung Yong-hwa unleashed his trademark energy throughout the concert, testing the audience's stamina. In particular, he continuously shouted his signature "Eba-ttwi (everybody run)" and drove the crowd into a frenzy.
During the nearly three-hour concert, the audience responded with tireless group singing and cheers. The members marveled, "You came determined. Our heart rates are really up. You're showing the best audience manners. Thank you. You're really running around well."
About the concert, they added, "This tour seems to have a good setlist. This time it's especially a harmony of old and new; there are old songs and all 10 new songs are included. We're proud," and confessed, "While preparing for this concert, since it's a full-length album, 10 songs are included and we decided to perform every track from the album. While preparing the album we were also preparing the tour, and even among ourselves we said it was really tough."
They added, "We tried to show the 10 songs impressively in a short time; we always work hard but this tour was even more extremely demanding. After the first show yesterday, we said we'd probably catch colds. We made a tour that even among ourselves felt like a challenge, and you gave us a great start. We'll take your energy and carry it through the world tour to the end," resolving their determination.
Having successfully completed the Seoul show, CNBLUE now departs to meet fans around the world. Beginning in Macau, they will travel to Taipei, Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, Singapore and Jakarta, followed by a Japan tour and stops in Bangkok and Kaohsiung, further solidifying their standing as a "global band."
