From the very first moment, CNBLUE made it clear that this was going to be a night to remember. Returning to Mega Star Arena KL on April 11, just months after their last visit in December 2024, the band brought their 2026 CNBLUE LIVE WORLD TOUR ‘3LOGY’ IN KUALA LUMPUR to life with a show that felt both explosive and deeply personal.

The concert opened with a powerful instrumental introduction as the members rose onto the stage through elevators, launching straight into “Ready, Set, Go”, “Catch Me”, and “Racer”. It was an immediate surge of energy, with pounding drums and roaring guitars setting the tone. The production stood out just as much as the performance, with striking lighting design and dynamic camera work capturing the stage from every angle. The 360-degree visuals on the LED screens added a cinematic layer that made every moment feel larger than life.

As part of the 3LOGY tour, the band performed extensively from their latest album, showcasing a range of self-composed tracks that moved across genres. From bright pop rock to their signature band-driven sound, and even softer emotional ballads, the setlist felt like a full reflection of their musical identity. Throughout it all, Jung Yong-hwa led the charge with relentless energy, constantly urging the crowd to jump along, turning the arena into a full-on workout session.

Having visited Malaysia for three consecutive tours, the members showed just how familiar they have become with local fans. Their first ment was filled with Malay introductions, drawing loud cheers. Kang Min-hyuk shared, “Saya rindu awak (I miss you)… terima kasih banyak-banyak sebab enjoy show dengan penuh semangat (thank you so much for enjoying the show with such passion),” before adding, “Saya tak akan lupa sorakan dan tenaga korang malam ni (I will never forget your cheers and energy tonight).” Yonghwa also reflected on their previous concert in Genting, sharing how happy he was to return to Kuala Lumpur again.

The night flowed seamlessly into fan-favorite tracks like “Nothing”, “Intuition”, “Lowkey”, and “99%”. During “99%”, Yonghwa moved to the extended stage, visibly enjoying every second as he connected with fans up close. His joy was contagious, spreading through the crowd as BOICE sang along loudly.

By the second ment, Yonghwa could not hide his excitement, praising Malaysian fans as “bagus (good)” and “mantap (amazing)”. He shared how proud he felt to create and perform for them, promising that the band would continue to bring even more. Lee Jung-shin added that they had planned to perform the full 3LOGY album and hoped to create new memories just like before.

The mood then shifted into a softer, more reflective space with “Bliss”, which Yonghwa described as a song inspired by fans themselves. The romantic tone carried through the next few stages, offering a contrast to the earlier high-energy set.

Even within a rock concert, CNBLUE’s versatility stood out. Yonghwa showcased his musicality not just as a vocalist and guitarist, but also on the keyboard during “Domino”. The energy surged again with “Radio”, a full-force rock performance that saw the members rushing across the stage, ending in a powerful, synchronized finale near the drums.

By the third ment, the heat in the venue became a running joke. Yonghwa laughed about how quickly he had taken off his jacket, teasing that it was because the fans were “so hot”. His attempts at Malay had the crowd laughing, especially when he repeatedly asked, “Belum penat kan? (You’re not tired yet, right?)” until he got the tone just right.

The acoustic segment brought a different kind of magic. With his acoustic guitar in hand, Yonghwa led the band into “LOVE”, turning the arena into one massive singalong. It was one of the night’s most unforgettable moments.

They continued with “Little Things”, before Jungshin playfully asked fans to send him Kuala Lumpur recommendations via DM. Minhyuk added, “Malaysia memang panas (Malaysia is really hot),” referring both to the weather and the crowd’s energy, drawing laughs from fans.

The emotional tone deepened with “The Temperature of Memory”, a self-composed track by Jungshin. Reflecting on memories, he shared that fans’ love felt like “100 degree… 1000 degree”, comparing it to boiling heat.

As the concert moved toward its final stretch, Minhyuk thanked fans for staying with them, saying he felt happiest seeing everyone enjoying and jumping together.

The encore chants were immediate and loud, and when the band returned, Minhyuk beamed, repeating, “Seronok lah… mantap mantap mantap (So fun… amazing, amazing, amazing).”

Jungshin then delivered a heartfelt Bahasa rojak message that stood out as one of the most memorable moments of the night: “Kita orang tahu, attending concert bukan easy, tanpa korang punya masa, passion, love, concert ini tak akan menjadi… sebab tu kita orang prepare betul-betul… hari ini sangat gembira! Jumpa selalu ya, terima kasih!” (We know attending concerts is not easy. Without your time, passion and love, this concert would not be possible… that’s why we prepared so hard… today we are very happy! Let’s meet often, thank you!)

Minhyuk followed with, “Lain kali bawa kawan ramai-ramai supaya kita boleh buat dua show… aku cinta padamu (Next time bring more friends so we can do two shows… I love you).”

It was a closing that felt both sincere and playful, perfectly capturing CNBLUE’s connection with Malaysian fans.

Setlist

Organised by Shanghai SanYanSiYu Cultural Creativity and co-organised by TopGallant Show, the fan meeting picked up from where his September 2024 “JEHOON’s Favorite” Asia tour left off, but this time with a deeper sense of reflection and gratitude.

From the start, Lee Je Hoon set a warm tone, greeting fans with a cheerful “Selamat Hari Raya” that immediately drew loud cheers. The atmosphere felt relaxed and intimate, allowing his personality to shine through in every segment.

Music played a key role throughout the evening. He performed “Coffee With Me” and “A Kind of Confession,” delivering gentle, acoustic-style stages that highlighted a softer side of him. Each song felt personal, almost like a conversation with the audience. He closed the night with “Beautiful,” a fitting final track that wrapped the evening in a calm and emotional glow.

Between performances, the fan meeting leaned into playful interaction. One of the biggest highlights came during a Malaysian food challenge, where Lee Je Hoon took on a blindfold guessing game. From nasi lemak to char kway teow, roti canai, curry puff, teh ais, and even Super Ring, he gamely tried each item, drawing laughter with his reactions and guesses. By the end, he shared that nasi lemak and chicken rice had become his favorites.

The crowd kept the energy lively throughout, especially with the nickname “Abang Teksi” echoing around the venue, a nod to his iconic role in Taxi Driver. The playful chants added a uniquely Malaysian touch to the night, making it feel even more special.

There were plenty of lighthearted moments as well. When a fan shouted, “Oppa, will you marry me?”, Lee Je Hoon paused, smiled, and replied, “Let’s get married,” sending the audience into cheers. Lucky fans also had the chance to take selfies with him, creating memories that will last long after the night ended.

Still, the evening was not without its reflective side. Speaking about his journey, Lee Je Hoon shared that he could hardly believe it had already been 20 years since his debut. He credited his fans for being the reason he continues to stand on stage, a sentiment that resonated deeply with the audience.

As the night drew to a close, he expressed his hope to one day film a project in Malaysia, and even return simply to travel and enjoy the country again. He also left fans with a gentle reminder to stay healthy, a simple message that carried warmth and sincerity.

More than just a fan meeting, Our 20th Moment felt like a shared celebration of time, growth, and connection. In Kuala Lumpur, Lee Je Hoon did not just look back on his journey, he shared it with the people who helped shape it.
