Breaking into Japan with an Electric Debut
K-pop boy group 82MAJOR is making waves across Asia—this time, lighting up the stage in Nagoya, Japan, at the highly anticipated EveryOne Fes in Aichi Sky Expo 2025 held on June 30. With a fierce setlist including their dynamic hit “TAKEOVER,” the six-member group (Nam Seongmo, Park Seokjun, Yoon Yechan, Jo Seongil, Hwang Seongbin, and Kim Dokyun) wowed local fans with high-octane performances and energy to match.
K-Pop Meets J-Pop at a Cultural Milestone
The festival marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Korea and Japan, and brings together leading K-pop and J-pop artists for a cultural celebration. 82MAJOR showed off their performance idol credibility with bold choreography and immersive stage presence, instantly connecting with Japanese audiences.
Global Footprint: From Busan to LA to Nagoya
Known in the industry as a “performance-type idol group,” 82MAJOR has been building momentum globally. After wrapping a successful North American tour, the group shook stages at Waterbomb Busan 2025 and delivered standout visuals in their photo shoot and interview with NYLON Magazine. They also made their mark at KCON LA 2025, further expanding their international fandom.
From Action Movies to Asia’s Music Scene
Recently, at the prestigious TMElive International Music Awards (TIMA)—a major music awards ceremony in the Chinese-speaking world—82MAJOR performed a dramatic stage inspired by the cult classic film “A Better Tomorrow.” The stage titled “Heroic Brothers” left a lasting impression and pushed the group further into the spotlight across Asia.
Next Stop: Seoul Fan Meeting
After conquering stages from LA to Nagoya, 82MAJOR returns to Korea with a special gift for fans. On September 20, they’ll host their first-ever domestic fan meeting, “82DE WORLD” at Kwangwoon University in Seoul—an event that promises plenty of fan interactions and unforgettable moments.
With their name echoing globally and fanbases growing by the day, 82MAJOR isn’t just making noise—they’re commanding the K-pop stage, one powerful performance at a time.
