On December 31st, NewJeans will become the first K-pop girl group to perform at Japan’s year-end flagship festival, ‘Countdown Japan’. Their agency, ADOR, announced that NewJeans has been included in the lineup for ‘Countdown Japan 24/25’, which will take place from December 28th to 31st at Tokyo’s Makuhari Messe. Notably, they are set to perform on the largest stage on the final day, the 31st.
‘Countdown Japan’, which started in 2003, is the largest indoor festival in Japan, attracting over 130,000 attendees last year. This performance by NewJeans marks the first appearance by a K-pop girl group, providing an opportunity to once again demonstrate their popularity and influence.
NewJeans has also set a record by entering Japan’s Tokyo Dome in just 1 year and 11 months, the shortest time for a foreign artist. Their ‘Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome’ fan meeting, held from June 26th to 27th, attracted over 91,200 fans and sold out all tickets.
Meanwhile, NewJeans is scheduled to appear on Nihon TV’s ‘with MUSIC’ on November 9th. Fans are eagerly anticipating their active promotions in Japan, and there is a great deal of interest in their upcoming performances and achievements.
