CN are initials for Code Name, while BLUE is a backronym for burning, lovely, untouchable, and emotional. It is meant to portray the images of Lee Jong-hyun as Burning, drums Kang Min-hyuk as Lovely, bass Lee Jung-shin as Untouchable, and Jung Yong Hwa's guitar and vocals and rapping, as Emotional. On January 14, 2010, CNBLUE debuted in Korea with the lead single "I'm a Loner" from their first Korean EP Bluetory.
