First Stop: Kansai Collection Before Their Big Debut
Madein’s Japanese sub-unit, Madein S, is already making waves before their official debut. On August 5, the quartet was spotted departing from Gimpo International Airport in Seoul, bound for Japan to appear at the Kansai Collection 2025 A/W event—a major fashion and music showcase in Osaka.
Who Are They?
Madein S is composed of four Japanese members: Mashiro, Miyu, Serina, and Nagomi. This unit marks the first official sub-group from the rookie K-pop girl group Madein, whose diverse lineup has already caught the attention of fans for their global concept.
Debut Date Locked In: August 14
Although they’re jetting off for a fashion event now, all eyes are on August 14—the official debut date for Madein S. Their management hasn’t released full details yet, but fans are expecting a stylish rollout that blends cool-girl chic with J-pop charisma.
What’s the Kansai Collection, Anyway?
If you’re unfamiliar, the Kansai Collection is basically Japan’s Met Gala meets KCON. It’s an annual showcase where music meets haute couture, and K-pop stars are frequently invited to add sparkle to the catwalk. Madein S’s presence there signals a serious push into the Japanese market, long viewed as a vital arena for expanding global Hallyu influence.
Fans Are Hyped
Online buzz has already kicked off. “They haven’t even debuted yet but they’re out here owning the runway? Iconic,” one international fan posted on X (formerly Twitter). With visuals to match their talent, Madein S might just be everyone’s next bias-wrecking unit.
Final Boarding Call
From the airport runway to the fashion runway, Madein S is making sure their pre-debut era is one to watch. Whether you’re a longtime J-pop fan or a K-pop stan ready for something new, this sub-unit might just be your next obsession.
