FIFTY FIFTY Set to Rock the Runway
FIFTY FIFTY is making their highly anticipated return to the spotlight as the main artist for TGC Kitakyushu 2025, happening on October 11 at the West Japan General Exhibition Center. It’s their debut at the fashion-meets-music mega event, and fans are already buzzing.
The K-pop Comeback We’ve Been Waiting For
Let’s rewind. FIFTY FIFTY went global in 2023 with “Cupid”, which spent a jaw-dropping 25 weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100. They cracked the Top 10 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart—an unprecedented feat for a rookie K-pop girl group. The track also went viral on TikTok, spawning over 6.7 million videos with its sped-up version alone.
After a brief break and new member auditions, the group relaunched in September 2024 with a refreshed five-member lineup: Kina, Moon Chanel, Yewon, Hana, and Athena. Their U.S. tour in late 2024 sold out across the board, and they dropped their third mini album “Day & Night” in April 2025, solidifying their second chapter.
What’s TGC Kitakyushu All About?
TGC, short for Tokyo Girls Collection, is where fashion, music, and fandom collide. Think New York Fashion Week, but sprinkled with J-pop idols and K-style. TGC Kitakyushu’s 2025 edition promises guest models, top Japanese celebrities, and breakout performers like KAWAII LAB. SOUTH, a fresh group debuting their first global-stage performance there.
Star-Studded Lineup—From Idols to Icons
Expect to see actors and models like Yui Kobayashi (formerly of Sakurazaka46), rising actor Mizuki Kayashima, and breakout star Reiyo Matsumoto. Global trendsetter and fashion producer Sae Murase—also the only Japanese recipient of Korea’s 2024 Daehan Culture and Entertainment Award—joins as a guest model too. Even Noselin, a rising multitalented performer, makes their TGC debut.
Fashion Meets Performance
The runway will feature high-energy shows from brands like WEGO and MAJESTIC LEGON, celeb appearances, and nonstop visual glamor. Add FIFTY FIFTY’s polished live performance to the mix, and you’ve got a cultural spectacle not to miss.
Ticket Info and Surprise Guests
General ticket sales are already closed, but limited extra tickets will go live on September 23. Price? ¥9,000 with gift bags and fan merch included. TGC isn’t just an event—it’s a fandom-powered festival, and surprise announcements are expected as the date approaches.
Final Thoughts
With FIFTY FIFTY’s explosive return and a star-powered lineup, TGC Kitakyushu 2025 is shaping up to be a peak moment in the K-pop x J-fashion crossover world. The real question: will this be the stage where another viral moment is born?
