The Korean rock band CNBLUE has announced that they will release their 8th original full album 'FULL CIRCLE' on October 21 (Wednesday) during the final stage of the additional performance of '2026 CNBLUE LIVE '3LOGY' IN JAPAN' held today. They also announced a Japan tour in November, covering Tokyo, Aichi, and Osaka. Their latest single 'Kokoro Naru Yoru' has achieved the number one spot on the Oricon weekly single ranking for the second time in their career after 13 years and 9 months, and they continue to excite audiences around the world with their world tour '3LOGY'. In 2026, marking their 17th year since debut, CNBLUE's momentum continues to accelerate. The album title 'FULL CIRCLE' carries the meaning of 'after completing one circle, a new circle begins', representing CNBLUE's evolution as they step into a new peak. The tour will realize the promise made to fans during the '3LOGY' Japan performances that they would definitely return to Aichi. The title 'FULL CIRCLE' embodies Jung Yonghwa's desire to embrace the countless encounters and farewells, joys and regrets, and to walk towards a future yet unseen. The lead track '360°', crafted by Jung Yonghwa, is a powerful message song that reflects on their journey while expressing the will to continue moving forward. The imagery of 'circulation' and 'new beginnings' is visually represented in the artist photos and tour posters, with the three members standing at the center of expanding circles. 'FULL CIRCLE' not only reflects on their past trajectory but also marks the current evolving CNBLUE and the future that lies ahead. The 'CNBLUE AUTUMN TOUR 2026 -FULL CIRCLE-' will feature six performances across three cities in November. The Aichi performance will be particularly special as it fulfills the promise made to fans. Expectations are high for how the connections embedded in the album and songs will be expressed live, creating a new stage together with BOICE (the fan name). Ticket pre-sales will start on August 24, with a lottery for a 'high-touch event' after the performances for 1,200 fans who purchased tickets during the BOICE JAPAN pre-sale.
