Korean Boy Group CMDM Achieves Success with Oricon #2 Ranking; New Summer Concert Season Announced in Japan

On Sunday, May 17, 2026, the final concert of the Korean boy group CMDM's Japanese solo performance series, 'CMDM Live In Japan 2026 – Chain & Link –,' was held in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and was a massive success. Furthermore, the event 'CMDM Live In Japan 2026 -Summer Nostalgia-' was announced for July 18 (Sat) to August 30 (Sun), 2026.

CMDM has garnered significant attention following the release of their first original Japanese song, 'Leash,' in March, which reached No. 2 on the Oricon Daily Chart and ranked in the top 15 on both the weekly chart and the Billboard JAPAN Top Singles Sales chart.

During this season, the group engaged fans with various events, including birthday celebrations for members and Children's Day activities. The final concert of the season was so popular that it reached standing-room-only capacity despite the ample seating provided.

Unified Music and Performance The five members—Heeju, Byeonghoon, Junhyung, Hyunha, and Noyul—dominated the stage with high-energy dance performances and powerful vocals. During songs like 'Already go ready,' 'Step with me,' and 'Leash,' they created an incredible sense of unity with the audience.

Starting a New Story: Summer Concerts Begin July 18 The next season, 'CMDM Live In Japan 2026 -Summer Nostalgia-,' will begin on July 18. Free concerts are scheduled for July 18 and August 1, which include special gifts for those attending a CMDM performance for the first time.
