&TEAM, the global group under HYBE, is set to perform at Japan’s prestigious NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen for the second consecutive year.
According to their agency YX Labels on the 13th, &TEAM will take the stage at the 77th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen on December 31. This marks their second consecutive invitation following their debut appearance last year, where they performed their hit song ‘FIREWORK’ just three years after debuting.
&TEAM shared their excitement, stating, "We are deeply honored to stand on the Kohaku Uta Gassen stage once again this year. It has been a year where our music transcended language and regional boundaries to connect with fans worldwide. We are overjoyed that the step-by-step efforts and precious relationships forged along the way have blossomed into results once more. We will deliver a fantastic performance to wonderfully wrap up the final night of the year."
The group achieved remarkable milestones across various fields this year. Their 3rd mini album ‘We on Fire’, released in April, entered the US Billboard 200 at No. 52, setting a record for an album by a boy group originating from Japan. In September, their Korean mini-2nd album ‘Mark on Me’ broke their personal best by charting at No. 20. Notably, ‘Mark on Me’ surpassed 1.35 million copies in initial sales, marking their fourth consecutive million-seller title.
They also showed strong momentum in live performances. They successfully held their largest-ever Asia tour, ‘2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR ‘BLAZE THE WAY”, drawing 230,000 fans across 23 shows in 14 cities. They further proved their robust popularity in both Korea and Japan through encore concerts at the Japan Seibu Dome and Seoul KSPO Dome, and have been actively running their 41-show tour ‘Mark on You’ across 18 Japanese cities since October.
