HYBE Global Group's &TEAM will make their first appearance on Japan's representative year-end music program, "Kohaku Uta Gassen." On the 14th, &TEAM attended the press conference for the "76th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen" held at the NHK Broadcasting Center in Tokyo, Japan, and shared their thoughts on the upcoming performance. They said, "It is an honor to appear on 'Kohaku Uta Gassen,' which has been one of our goals," and added, "We will do our best every moment to reach the hearts of the fans who have supported us for the past three years since our debut."

"Kohaku Uta Gassen" is NHK's iconic year-end music program broadcast every December 31st, inviting artists who have received the most love throughout the year. &TEAM's appearance is expected to further strengthen their presence in Japan.

&TEAM achieved several remarkable accomplishments this year. Their third single, "Go in Blind," surpassed one million cumulative shipments and received the "Million" certification from the Japan Record Association. As of July 2025, this certifies their influence in the Japanese music market.

Additionally, &TEAM ranked first on both the Oricon "Weekly Combined Singles Ranking" and "Weekly Singles Ranking," achieving a double crown. The points they earned set the highest record among male artists this year. These achievements indicate &TEAM's significant position in the Japanese music market.

Their Korean debut album, "Back to Life," received "Double Platinum" certification from the Japan Record Association despite being a Korean-language album. As of October, &TEAM has placed all their physical releases from their debut album onward on the Japan Record Association's certification list. This demonstrates &TEAM's continued musical success in Japan.
