FIVE MEMBERS, ONE DISTINCTIVE SOUND
Formed in Seoul in 2024, can't be blue are a five-member band composed of Lee Dohun (vocals), Kwon Dahyun (keyboard), Lee Hwuiwon (bass), Kim Chaehyun (guitar) and Kim Daehun (drums).
The band defines its music as an expression of sadness without being confined by it, independently handling songwriting, composition, arrangement and production. Their sound moves between R and B-based pop and rock, combining contemporary arrangements, emotionally driven melodies and the distinctive vocal delivery of Dohun.
Since their debut with "Within the words i once called love" in June 2024, can't be blue have experienced a rapid rise in Korea. The song's music video surpassed 30 million views on YouTube, while the band earned recognition through major Korean music competitions and development programmes, including CMYK Rolling Hall × JUMF and INDIESTANCE.
Their growing reputation has also taken them to major stages outside Korea, including Hozo International Music Festival in Vietnam and the Golden Melody Festival in Taiwan, alongside appearances at major Korean festivals such as Grand Mint Festival, Soundberry Festa and Cass Cool Festival.
FROM SEOUL TO ROCK IN ROMA
The band's international momentum reached a new milestone in July 2026, when can't be blue made their European stage debut at Rock in Roma, opening for global K-pop act ATEEZ at Rome's Ippodromo delle Capannelle on 8 July 2026.
The band performed ahead of ATEEZ, taking the stage at 20:30 in front of the festival audience. Their appearance marked an important first step into the European live circuit and introduced can't be blue's music to a wider international audience.
Now, just a few months later, the band will return to Europe for their first dedicated European tour, bringing their full live show to seven cities across the continent.
A NEW CHAPTER FOR CAN'T BE BLUE
2026 has marked a particularly significant year for the band.
In January, can't be blue released their second EP, Prussian Blue, continuing the band's exploration of emotionally charged pop, R and B and rock.
The band's international profile grew further with their 2026 album and the collaboration "can't love (feat. HAN (Stray Kids))", bringing together can't be blue's sound with the voice of one of K-pop's most recognisable artists.
The collaboration is part of the band's recent evolution, demonstrating their ability to move naturally between Korea's indie scene and the wider K-pop ecosystem while maintaining their identity as a self-produced band.
Their latest chapter continues with "Fxxkin' Rockstar", released on 4 September 2026, the band's newest single and the release that accompanies their return to Europe this autumn.
A BAND ON THE RISE
can't be blue's growth has been reflected not only in their releases, but also in the scale of their live performances. In November 2025, the band sold out a 700-capacity solo concert, following a series of increasingly larger headline shows in Seoul.
Their story has been built around a simple but powerful idea: sadness can be part of your story without defining who you are. That philosophy runs through their lyrics, melodies and live performances, creating a sound that feels both intimate and expansive.
With their European debut at Rock in Roma behind them and a full European tour now ahead, can't be blue are ready to take the next step.
