Fans are shocked and are excited as it's been quite a while since CNBLUE performed together on stage as K-pop Idols. Despite the members embarking on film careers before, aside from music, the fans still sent them their full support as they hype and expectations are high for their end of the year comeback.
CNBLUE started their careers on the K-pop scene back in 2010, releasing their all-time hit track 'I'm a Loner,' 'I'm Sorry,' and 'Can't Stop.' This year all members of CNBLUE managed to complete their 2-year mandatory military service, meaning they are ready to create music and make an iconic comeback once more.
Former CNBLUE's Lee Jong Hyun
Lee Jong Hyun, a former member of CNBLUE, left the boy band in 2019, owing to numerous uproar he got himself in. Soompi reported that in March 2019, SBS aired the exchanged messages of Lee Jong Hyun and Jung Joon Young talking about the pornographic videos of women and referred to them as if they are just objects.
After tremendous backlash from fans and the public in August 2019, he decided to withdraw his membership from CNBLUE. FNC Entertainment confirmed the withdrawal and put up his official statement asking forgiveness from fans and the public for his reckless wrongdoings and inappropriate phrases.
He mentioned how greatly disappointed he was himself for tainting the image of CNBLUE as a whole. He concluded his message by promising the fans that he will take the time in the military to reflect on his mistakes and would openly receive criticisms from people.
