From the "Blue Moon" tour to the "Can't Stop" tour, it is obvious that the boys of CNBLUE have grown so much, and their concert in Singapore last night (10 May) was simply a stunning and delightful experience.

The Korean quartet, comprising of leader Jung Yonghwa, bassist Lee Jungshin, guitarist Lee Jonghyun and drummer Kang Minhyuk was in town one year ago for their previous concert tour, and they are back for the Singapore stop of their "Can't Stop" tour this time round, performing in front of a 7000-strong crowd at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

They perfectly delivered a set of 23 songs, including numbers from their latest album - "Can't Stop", "Diamond Girl", "Love Is" and "Like A Child", and not forgetting their classic hits like "I'm Sorry", Ï'm A Loner", "Coffee Shop" and more.  A short and sweet show, but yet impactful. The highly-energized gig was complete with stunning visuals, laser works and pyrotechnics.  The band's chemistry worked out really well, and it was a true musical experience.  Yonghwa engaged the crowd constantly throughout the concert, and fans responded enthusiastically.

During the gig, Minhyuk sang praises of Singapore food, especially the chilli crab and pepper crab dishes. Yonghwa immediately dropped a tickling surprise, improvising their song "LOVE" into a song about crab.  "Love love love...Everybody crab crab crab...I love pepper crab!"

The two-hour show ended on a solemn note with Yonghwa speaking about the recent Sewol ferry tragedy in Korea. He thanked the audience for wearing yellow ribbons on their wrist (to show their condolences to the victims and family members of the ferry accident), and he hoped that CNBLUE's music will bring those affected a light of hope.

The band then performed "Love Light" and the stadium was transformed into a sea of glittering rainbow lights - a heartwarming end t a stellar concert.
