NewJeans, the trailblazing K-pop girl group, is set to make history by performing at Japan’s largest indoor music festival, Countdown Japan 24/25, marking yet another milestone in their rapid rise. On December 31, the group will grace the main stage at Tokyo’s iconic Makuhari Messe for the finale of the four-day event, running from December 28-31. Label ADOR announced the group’s participation on November 6, underscoring NewJeans' status as the first K-pop girl group to join the impressive lineup for this annual event.
Established in 2003, Countdown Japan draws in top-tier artists from Japan and beyond, attracting 130,000 attendees last year alone. NewJeans’ inclusion is a testament to their popularity in Japan, especially after their memorable performance at Summer Sonic 2023 in Tokyo, where the group captivated the crowd with their hit songs and received an enthusiastic sing-along from local fans.
NewJeans’ success in Japan goes beyond live performances. Their debut Japanese single, Supernatural, quickly reached million-seller status, topping Oricon's daily chart upon release. The group’s achievements are further highlighted by their groundbreaking feat of becoming the fastest foreign artist to hold a fan meeting at Tokyo Dome, pulling in over 91,200 fans for the Bunnies Camp event, held just one year and 11 months after their debut.
This upcoming performance at Countdown Japan signifies not only NewJeans' steady momentum in the Japanese music market but also their expanding global influence. The group’s unique charm, music, and stage presence have garnered them a dedicated fanbase across Asia and beyond.
In addition to their concert appearances, NewJeans will also connect with Japanese audiences through a guest spot on Nihon TV's with MUSIC, airing on November 9, giving fans another chance to enjoy their music and learn more about the group’s journey.
With their powerful stage performances and a series of record-breaking achievements in Japan, NewJeans continues to redefine what it means to be a global K-pop sensation, taking the next step in cementing their presence in one of the world’s biggest music markets. As 2024 approaches, fans eagerly await what NewJeans has in store for the new year.
