Notably, "CNBLUENTITY" represents a combination of the band's name with "identity," symbolizing the encapsulation of CNBLUE's musical identity within the concert, as stated by FNC Entertainment.

While this tour is the first in the region in seven years, CNBLUE held a "CNBLUENTITY" concert in Seoul on October 7 and 8 of the previous year. These concerts marked the band's return to the Korean stage after a six-year hiatus.

CNBLUE, originally a four-member rock band, debuted in 2010 with their first EP, "Bluetory," gaining fame for the lead track, "Loner." Over the years, they released indie albums in Japan alongside their Korean debut.

In 2019, former member Lee Jong-hyun departed from the band amidst allegations related to the Burning Sun scandal and inappropriate messages on Instagram. CNBLUE restructured as a three-member band and released their eighth EP, "Re-Code," in 2020, followed by the ninth EP, "Wanted," in 2021. They also released Japanese singles in 2021 and 2022.
