Hallyu Duo Turn the Spotlight on Themselves—Again
Long-time fans of the Korean Wave in Japan will recognize their names instantly. Masayuki Furuya and Tomoki Fujiwara—usually busy working behind the scenes of K-pop and K-drama fan events—are once again stepping into the limelight for their own talk series, FxF Fan Festa. Vol.3 is officially happening on October 2, 2025, at the Fanicon Space in Tokyo.
A Farewell Fête (Probably)
This isn’t just another stop on the event train. The duo is calling it a first anniversary and final edition—though they said that last time, too. Still, that makes FxF Fan Festa Vol.3 feel more like a collector’s item than a regular show. The event features two unique sessions: a daytime and an evening edition, each with different content.
2025 Highlights, Korean Culture Picks & Trend Predictions
The guys will dive into their craziest stories from the first half of 2025—think hilarious behind-the-scenes tales told in the style of the classic Japanese show Weekender. Fans can also look forward to segments like “My Korean Recommendation NOW” where each host spotlights their current favorite from the Hallyu world, whether it’s a drama, dish, or rising idol.
Then there’s the battle of trend forecasts: “I’m the Next Trend!!” where they’ll present their wildest—but possibly accurate—picks for what’s about to take off in Korean culture. Audience reactions will decide who nailed it and who’s just dreaming.
Fanservice, Souvenirs, and a Little Self-Indulgence
True to J-pop and K-pop culture norms, the festival includes a Q&A session, a raffle with handpicked Korean gifts, and even an on-stage photo time. Over-the-top? Absolutely. But fans wouldn’t want it any other way. Everyone who attends will also get an exclusive souvenir and a send-off session where the hosts personally greet fans at the end.

Don’t Miss This—Even If They Come Back Again
If this really is the final FxF Fan Festa, you’ll want to be there when it all wraps up. But let’s be honest—if fan demand keeps rising, could Vol.4 be far behind?
