In mid-June 2009, CNBLUE began to perform on the streets and in live clubs in Japan.[3] They formally debuted as an indie band on August 19, 2009 with Now or Never. The mini-album was recorded completely in English, and failed to chart on the Oricon. In late September, their original bassist Kwon Kwang Jin left the band and was replaced by Lee Jung Shin later that year. Their second extended play Voice was released in November. Recorded with both English and Japanese tracks, Voice peaked at No. 227 and stayed on the Oricon for two weeks.

In January, FNC Music unveiled new teaser pictures for CNBLUE's debut in South Korea. Bluetory was released on January 14, 2010, and stayed at the top of the Gaon Chart for two weeks. "I'm a Loner" (Korean: 외톨이야) was promoted as the title track. The song peaked at No. 2, solidifying their break into the industry. The group had their first televised live stage on KBS Music Bank on January 15. Later, on January 29, the group made their first music show chart win on Music Bank.[4] They won their first Inkigayo mutizen on January 31, 2010.[5] CNBLUE holds the record for achieving No. 1 on South Korea's television music charts program in the shortest time since debut, grabbing their first win only 15 days after debuting with "I'm A Loner".[6] The group debuted their new reality show "CNBluetory" on the Korean music channel Mnet on March 10.

In March, the band started preparations for their first full-length album Thank U in Japan. It was released on March 20, 2010 with two new tracks.
